THE BASIC INFORMATIONAL PRINCIPLES OF THE HUMAN SELF

MEN ARE MENTALLY-EMOTIONALLY-AND-PSYCHOLOGICALLY SICK.

BUT THE PRIMARY WOUND IS SPIRITUAL CREATED BY CHALLENGING THE DEITY AT THE SEPARATION. WE ARE INNATE NARCISSISTS-AUTOCRATS. 

And narcissism and autocracy are tween palls!

That gigantic «disorder» -unrecognized by male psychiatry, has generated rivers of blood throughout history and still doing fine because for them their twisted notion of manhood is more important than life.

Grotesque?

A bit!!!

Take a look at history sister Yes! in different forms, or little by little it has happened in America too.

«How incredibly insane are we in the country that offers the most freedom of the self globally?»

Or, is it because of that freedom unmatched by the corresponding sanity?

What Made that Human Being SOO ANGRY?

What-Who-How was Him Driven SOO INSANELY MAD?

What Assassin Macho Man Permitted Him to Buy That Assassin Weapon?

WHERE IS PSYCHIATRY HIDING? 

And now we «solve» the problem by demonizing our own creation?

How are we going to solve that if, early in my formation as a psychiatrist in Psychiatry at McGill University in Montreal, I realized that male-centred psychiatry (there is no other one!) shunned knowledge of the Human Self and the most basic thing in the Universe; the experience of being. Or Knowledge of the Knower -or- Self-knowledge!

How stupid can we get?

How on earth are we going to understand that killer kid if we shun understanding-experiencing human feelings?

His absent father, with society’s approval, as well as the Fourth C0mmandement, has not -or does not want to have- the notion of his role in forming that depressed, uber-angry self because we live under the motto of:

«look what my brain made me do.»

Oh yes! that is manly!

And parents (that ‘coin’ the self) ARE sacred! The Fourth Commandment absolves any parental responsibility in how a self develops and in what direction! Very primitive indeed!

His mother is now, understandably repeating: «-my son is not a monster!»– Oh I totally agree lady -most likely you and your husband qualify better for that! Do you and he have a clue why you had children?

Oh, just because you were biologically capable «adults?»

But I would bet my retirement pension that you were as qualified to be a mother and him a father, as I was to be an F-15 pilot…Never mind, oh yes, sorry, you were «adults!»

And under our masculine wisdom, and feminine neglect, keep procreating like rabbits investing zilch in silly things like -What on earth is life for? Oh no; we indoctrinate them with what is important to male-mind thinking: techno-scientific stuff  to increase money-making and «productivity.» Like to make more and better killing weapons?

BUT THIS CAN NOT BE MENTIONED!! BECAUSE ‘PARENTHOOD’, NOT SO CHILDHOOD, HAS BEEN SANCTIFIED TO THE HILT! TO PROTECT THE REPUTATION OF ADULTS. -SCREW THE KIDS! WHO ‘TURNED OUT NOT TO BE GOOD ANYWAY!»

-Or- as my own mother used to say:

«My Lord! How much a mother SUFFERERS and how ungrateful children are!» (Never heard a ‘mother’ disapproving of such a self-serving statement!)

Well, ‘Mother» after undergoing all therapies in the book (and some not in the book) I painfully realized that you aborted my own ‘self ‘ –for no better reason than that of your maternal self-glorification because you were an emotional orphan -your own self had been royally aborted and you were left emotionally crippled; empty -and you needed some good news from your kids! Sorry, I don’t think that -bringing up your self-esteem was my job mother…Yes, your own parents used you for their self-esteem building! and probably the parents of your parents etc. -sorry! That is humanity. Sad! -but, repeat; NOT MY JOB to repair your ‘self’ -I just loved you with all my soul -all little kids do!!

Yes, sister, how many thousands of your kids have you seen going to your brother’s wars and never coming back?

and what have you done about that?

More procreation to keep up with the cannon fodder supply?

Pathetic enough sister??

How are we going to correct it if the ideal of macho-man is to be «cool as a cat» -emotionless»…don’t you see he is sick -living not for his kids but for his POWER?

Since when -other than in the macho world a monumental aberration of the ‘self’ is confused with an «ideal»?

The pain and inhibited rage you induced in me, mother, the crazy super-macho-Spanish culture. The aberration, the deformation it caused in me, took me a lifetime to correct and lots of penuries – I forcefully suppressed the truth of who I was to survive in a lying, crooked, twisted society – a replica of my «home» or worse, because it involved a fratricidal Civil War, was such, that to get rid of you I left for Canada in my early twenties (with an MD under my arm at twenty-two), and later on, as a psychiatrist, but not BECAUSE I was one, I learned to, experimentally, ‘travel back to that epicentre (what psychoanalysts adult-self-serving used to call «regression to earlier ego-states») of the mind and ‘executed’ you -finally to obtain liberation from the God-like love-respect-and-fear (that the natural Principle of Parental Deification I granted to you which you turned against me to abuse me psychically and emotionally -to say nothing of spiritually!) -that, finally, risking my life and sanity- permitted me total liberation from you, lady! and to obtain a good level of liberation from you, family, culture etc -which was taboo to learn at McGill University and still is all over the world, perpetuating child abuse -as dictated by the Fourth Commandment:

«You Shall Honor Father and Mother»

Yes, Moron! -if they deserve it!! -not just because they are ‘adults’ and I am a child!!

Do you remember when, as a recent immigrant who arrived in Canada as a doctor, no English, no French, nobody known to me, -and no medicine courtesy of the «chulos» (hypermasculine-cocky) Professors at Santiago de Compostela University -typical of the «machoid» of the twisted Spanish culture, in matters of the self; I hadn’t taken arterial pressure, given a simple injection. In Santiago de Compostela they made «chapones» -rot learners. I had to regurgitate their notes to fall in to their ‘grace’ and pass the exams.  And you paraded as great savants in front of your unknowing students….and you still do!

Bastards?

YOU ARE DERANGED BROTHER! AND SACRIFICING GENERATION AFTER GENERATION LIVING IN AWE, AS YOU DO, WITH TECHNOSCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE. (because it brings the type of POWER you covet?)

ARE YOU SICK ENOUGH?

That led me to undergo as many therapies as possible, necessary to gain first-hand, experiential learning, of my «Self», of who was that «Joaquin I have been living with all my life:).»

First things first.

The Spiritual Self.

If you look deeply into the eyes of a human baby, you will perceive that they are not looking back at you with a Human Self. That comes later!

That profound innocence that purity is characteristic of the Spiritual Self; we are born with, and the one we return to after death. The entity that experiences the next state of mind is ‘The Bardo of Death.’ Previous to the next reincarnation, when the Self again takes human form. I have been there and, yes, you still know who you are!

The Spiritual Self, stemming directly from the Deity, cannot yet distinguish ‘God,’ the Deity, from ‘Mother.’ Or, as the celebrated Theologian Hans Urs Von Balthasar put it:

«The zone or dimension in which the child lives, on the contrary, reveals itself as a sphere of original wholeness and health and maybe even said to contain an element of holiness, since at first, the child cannot yet distinguish between parental and divine love»

[Unless You Become Like This Child. Ignatius Press. 1991]».

The Human Self.

That primeval Self would not survive in the corrupt male-mind world (unless the main purpose of life were to cultivate it! -as it should be…not to destroy it like in Ukraine). After phenomenal risks and suffering, those who, such as St. John of the Cross, achieve the Return to the Deity and ‘don’t have to come back!’

Nor would accomplish the karmic goals of the Incarnation; and, therefore, has to be exchanged by a Human Self -the protagonist of the Incarnation (‘the script’). That Self is lea

rned from the mother, father, family, and culture in which the child is raised. It has three parts to it. The Mental Self is digitally coded information, culturally dictated, and manifests in words and thinking.

Another is the Emotional Self which is transcultural and analogically encoded information. [Joaquin Sousa-Poza. International Journal of Psychotherapy. Volume 9 Number 2. July 2005]. Finally, we have the iconically coded Somatoself (the «body-self» of Freud), which is the body. Although it is the equivalent of the ship’s rudder, the Emotional Self has been discarded in male mind psychiatry because of the male’s deformed macho Self and its profound antipathy to those «sissy» feelings. A NO-NO to a hypermasculine Self.

In normal conditions, these differently coded bodies of information freely interchange information, not so in neuroses. One of their characteristics is blockages to the interchange of information.

From an information viewpoint, the information constituting the Human Self is ruled by the following principles:

The Lovability Principle.

That proto-cognition states that the child feels lovable with a 100% level of certainty. It is perhaps the essential rule of the human organism. But it is not autochthonous; it cannot stand by itself, and it has to be kindled by another self (‘there is no I without thou’ of Martin Buber) to become operative!

In technical terms, that kindling is called:

«Mirroring» or «Confirmation.»

Another self has to ad ‘redundancy’ to it (‘Yes, you are lovable’). Hypermasculine thinking with its penchant for its impossible pseudo-independence and supremacy Creates lots of confusion in humanity. Because the best it can do is to pretend that independence -but never achieve it! Even in the best of cases it boils down to a matter of posturing and bluffing!

The Principle of Parental Deification.   

At the state level, this is transferred to the President or Chief of State and it is perhaps at the root of why it was so difficult to get rid of Mr. Richard Nixon in the past and Donald Trump in the present!   

That unavoidable rule is the primary factor in preventing establishing proper cause-effect between, for instance, that eighteen-year-old kid that very recently committed a horrible massacre of young school kids (not, by any means, the first one in America).

I have no question nor need to examine him if he were still around to know that his parents failed him miserably in the help due to form a healthy self. NONE.    Believe that such quality of life was robbed of him at the emotional-spiritual level, and he took revenge on it! Looking at his picture, you don’t need a sophisticated psychological test to realize that he is murderously angry -as he had been showing most of his life!

Who- where were the parents, family culture that formed that Self, that individual who should not have been killed but captured alive and studied in-depth -if we are ever going to learn something about such human aberrations?

For starters, the male of the species, the ruler of this world, has not much investment in being known. Since the Separation, he has been pretending he is ‘god’ when he is just a miserable narcissistic, hypermasculine mortal! Many cultures do not have not an appropriate denomination or meaning for the word ‘self.’

Secondly, as we shall see in a moment, the reputation of parents and family comes well above the child’s well-being. (See The Fourth Commandment) .

In summary: parents prefer to abdicate any cause-effect (responsibility) upon their in major part, created Self! When there is ample evidence to the contrary!!

BUT ACCOUNT HAS TO BE TAKEN THAT, BY GRACE OF MACHO-MIND IS AN ORPHAN FIELD! MEN ARE NOT THE LEAST INTERESTED IN KNOWING WHO THEY ARE -AND IN THIS FIELD IT IS THE KNOWLEDGE I HAVE ACCUMULATED OF MYSELF, JOAQUIN, BY EXPERIENCE, THAT COUNTS AND YOURS OF YOURS AND KEEP COUNTING. MY ‘KNOWLEDGE’ ABOUT MY PATIENTS AND EVERYBODY ELSE, IS BY OBJECTIFICATION AND YOU ARE NOT AN OBJECT! YOU ARE A ‘SENTIENT  HUMAN BEING -LIKE ME!’

The Principle of Parental Deification causes a lot of grief, confusion, and neuroses in the human realm. As above stated, the child confuses parents, mother in particular, with the Divinity. For the child, there is no difference between parents and God!

«Hi, mom God.» -Hi, dad, «God.»

Humans are not particularly advanced beings -if they were, they would not be ‘humans.’ And ‘he’ in particular, is the Great ‘God Usurper’ -since the Separation from the Deity took place -under the ultra-narcissistic motto:

«Two gods are a crowd; if there is only one god, it is me!» that led to the Incarnation.

Therefore, the child’s God-parents confusion is ‘cashed in’ with the implicit response: «Yes, my child, we are god, go ahead and adore us.» That usurpation creates the greatest obstacle to accomplishing the goal of the Incarnation since it prevents the child from seeking-finding God’s love! -which the child carries within themselves!

Many Churches cash onto that confusion directing us to look for God «out there» -through themselves -as an extension of Parental Deification.

A curse for finding the love of God during the Incarnation?

The Principle of Parental Infallibility.

This Principle is a direct consequence of the Parental Deification Principle. Parents present themselves to their children as god-like figures, never mind that the child already has a strong natural tendency, as already mentioned, to confuse them with the Deity. Therefore they are absolved by cultures and societies from any responsibility in shaping the ‘product’ they have created against profound evidence to the contrary!

That kid that committed that massacre was not a «monster» -in that his mother was perfectly correct. She, his father, family and culture are deranged enough to create that monster—a culture where an assassin’s weapon is seen as part of macho manhood.

Parental Infallibility is strongly encouraged, if rather tacitly, in most cultures and most religions. «Parents are always right, demeaning the ‘right to be right’ of the child’s Self and making a second-class citizen out of it. Later on, exploited by the authority of the male state -Particularly in autocracies where «authority is always right» -but nowadays frequently seen in ‘democracies’ -as in the extreme right ultra-macho doctrine in dictatorships or, in democracies by cases like  Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin  -and many other god-aspirants! Actualizing their auto-deification by damaging other people discharging on them their Primal rage. The anger of being aborted, incomplete selves in an endless process of «becoming somebody more than….» Basically aspiring to match God in «Power»-the curse of male-mind beings.

The sources messing up the human mind are deep and powerful! And male-mind Psychiatry and Psychology have not much to say about it because their role is to perpetuate the status quo: The patriarchal part of the male Self!

IT IS TO NOTE THAT THE POWER OF THE AUTOCRAT AND/OR DICTATOR DIRECTLY DERIVES FROM THESE TWO PRINCIPLES -PARENTAL DEIFICATION AND INFALLIBILITY. THE EMOTIONAL FORCE PROPELLING FOR INSTANCE THE FOLLOWERS OF  MR. DONALD TRUMP AND/OR MR. VLADIMIR PUTIN STEMS DIRECTLY FROM THESE TWO PRINCIPLES OF THE MIND IF LEFT UNCHECKED! -THERE IS NO MUCH RATIONALITY ABOUT THE AFFAIR!

-Even when women join it, the system is already so crooked towards ‘manhood’ that there is little hope –and some swallow bait, hook and sink!

Good luck, Homo Sapiens and Company!
