Re: peak experiences - Roslyn

Dear Roslyn,

You asked:

" have you read pscyhiatry ultimate betrayal? "

No, I have not. I find that the title itself turns me off. To me,

psychiatry is a lie, but far from the ultimate lie. On the one hand,

I see all illness as " mental illness " and the healing of the mind as

the only way to obtain true healing. Now, I see that psychiatry

requires a separate patient and therapist relationship, with the

patient being judged to be sick and the therapist being judged to be

the healer. To me, this premise helps create a situation where

healing is made twice as difficult. It starts off with the

assumption of separation.

Have you ever read " Psychotherapy: Purpose, Process and Practice " ?

This is a booklet which is an extension of the Principles of A Course

In Miracles.

FYI, I find that I am quite insane. One of the reasons I say this, is

that I take " magic " pills every day, and I call them blood pressure

medication and vitamins, minerals and herbs. I have no sane reason

for taking them, other than I have believed a story that there is

an " I " that has a body and that that body could become ill and die

and that there are " magic " pills that can help to prevent disease and

death.

Well, I must go. I don't want to be late for my appointment with my

therapist.

Love, Steve D.
