The Water Bottle Example for Mental Illnesses

Water Bottle “Metaphor” for Mental Illnesses
By Igomene Joseph, 12-2011 ~ ijoseph33@gmail.com



This information is basically a Water Bottle Hypothesis for Mental Illnesses

Excerpt from An Angel’s Testimony
By Igomene “Iggy” Joseph

*******************
All mental illnesses from Borderline Personality Disorder, Eating Disorders, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD, ADD), Autism Spectrum Disorders, Asperger syndrome, and even issues related to Dementia, Alzheimer’s, and Schizophrenia can possibly be explained by my Water Bottle hypothesis.

When it comes humanity, there are two types of human beings that co-exist in a fish bowl like reality. Whether you are Hispanic or Asian, young or old, male or female, Black or White, Democrat or Republican, Christian or not, the first type “A” are those that are considered normal. In my theory, this is also referred to as “cap on”. The second type B, (“cap off”) may or may not view themselves as being “mentally ill”, but they are labeled as such, once their condition is categorized by a medical professional. Exceptions apply.

Think of the plastic container filled with water as our bodies and the cap on the bottle as the brain or head. Place both bottle type A and B in in that bowl. Once the cap of type "B" begins to open or is off like an imaginary scale of 1-10, a “mentally ill” person is said to be, no longer “normal”. This reason many are called “crazy” or “out of their minds” for sharing their awareness. This however is the merging of conscious with in us with the consciousness in and around us. Truth is that many are actually metaphorically “awakened” or “enlightened” by their experiences.

Encoded in our cellular DNA, molecules in the body randomly contain the essence (or memory) of what we are consciously; the visible spirit of life in various materialistic forms. Symbolic of a bottle filled with water being submerged in the ocean, each of us are mostly made of water. In fact, according to Dr. Jeffrey Utz, Neuroscience, pediatrics, at Allegheny University, “Different people have different percentages of their bodies made up of water. Babies have the most, being born at about 78 percent. By one year of age, that amount drops to about 65 percent. In adult men, about 60 percent of their bodies are water.”

Through evolution, Stewart E. Nevins M.S. states that starting from the sea, “For a period of at least 1 billion years the ocean has remained at roughly constant salinity while the single-celled creatures evolved [and divided] into mollusks, fish, reptiles, mammals, and finally man.” Merged with the ‘contents of the ocean’, an enlightened or Schizophrenic person is universally aware that he/she is no longer separated by the cap of the plastic bottle and recognizes that they were once a part of the ocean waters, itself. Joseph Campbell said it best, "Schizophrenics are drowning in the same waters that mystics swim with delight."

Now consciously divided but still apart of their environment, type "B" realizes that living in the same reality, they have a different perspective on life but the same biological property as that of being one with the ocean, you and me as well as animals and plants.

Once this occurs, the person affected is said to be “delusional” or “psychotic” as the body and the people around attempts to adjust. The biological properties that is in everything and everyone is so chemically exact that some of those whose caps were opened through drug and alcohol abuse or meditative Chakras of the body or various other means may believe that they were once another person, such as Jesus, in another lifetime.

In fact, some children are born where the “cap” never closes and so they are called savants. Savant syndrome sometimes referred to as savant-ism. In an article from Wikipedia, it states that Savant syndrome is “a rare condition in which people with ‘developmental disorders’ have one or more areas of expertise, ability, or brilliance that are in contrast with the individual's overall limitations. Though it is even rarer than the savant condition itself, some savants have no apparent abnormalities other than their unique abilities.” It further addresses how, “This does not mean that these abilities weren't triggered by a ‘brain dysfunction of some sort.’ However, it does temper the theory that all savants are disabled and that some sort of trade-off is required.” Alternative to savants, some individuals also experience symptoms of Schizophrenia, a complex mental disorder that makes it difficult to:

. Tell the difference between real and unreal experiences
. Think logically or have normal emotional responses
. Behave normally in social situations

Be aware that some caps are opened through stress, drugs or traumatic experiences. Some are opened through old age dementia, or near-death experiences Some are also opened for no known reason at all. Some are even opened through sexual or religious experiences or rituals. On the other hand, even with lower degree of illness, some are never opened, so they may judge or stigmatize the experiences of those who have with dread and/or discriminating actions. Once upon a time, these same experiences were viewed as a form of witchcraft or a display of psychic abilities. Still today, it may be labeled as having a “demonic spirit” or brain chemistry imbalance. In fact, some science-fiction films like The *Matrix seem to explain it better. Several authors have written about this concept in literary works such as The Bible, Conversations with God, A Course in Miracles, One Day My Soul (i.e. cap) Just Opened Up, The Mutant Message, etc.

Through documented recordings, some *Agents of our population have created a “Psychiatric Bible” called, the DSM. Their book, The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Dis-orders outlines the experiences of mental illness and is published by the American Psychiatric Association. This resource provides a common language and standard criteria for the classification of mental disorders. It is used in the United States of America and in varying degrees around the world by clinicians, researchers, psychiatric drug regulation agencies, health insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and policy makers.

Researchers at the Max Plank Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, the Shanghai branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Cambridge University published a study in the journal Genome Biology. It went on to provide further evidence that the evolution of human cognitive abilities was accompanied by adaptive changes in brain metabolism. It states that by, “potentially pushing the human brain to the limit of its metabolic capabilities, results support the theory that schizophrenia is a consequence of human brain evolution.” Their findings scientifically support my WB Theory but after contacting the researchers, they refuse to support the concept.

Iggy is an inspirational writer and a Mental Health Advocate. He prefers to see himself and his peers affected by any form of mental illness as Pioneers. ‘P’ion’eers’ are defined as “a person or group that is the first to use or apply a new method, area of knowledge, or activity.” This includes recognizing and waking up to the Matrix of Life on Earth.

He asks that his peers begin seeing themselves as Pioneers as a testimony to what they have and will accomplished through their own mental health discoveries and struggles. Adding 3 letters of hope into the word peer, “It’s the more ‘ion’ thing to do!” he says.

Like most Aquarians who aim to free themselves of personal and social conditioning, Iggy is a seeker of inspirational wisdom and insight. He is also a true humanitarian and a promoter of our divine inheritance of grace as perfect angelic beings.

When I met the guy who is now my fiance, he said, "You got my peanut butter in your chocolate." Here is a very funny account of the day we met. http://midwestrocklobster.blogspot.com/2010/10/longest-35-miles.html

I think your blog is talking about this kind of mixing. And of course I think "Your Only Flavor is Vanilla if you don't have a mental health diagnosis." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfBKa9EpMzI

I applaud your desire to remove the stigma of mental illness in society. A stigma is something that gets placed on a person that essentially ostracizes them from society - makes them untouchable, This usually serves to make their condition worse. I cannot agree however, with your statement: {In fact, in many cases, we are labeled “out of our minds” “awakened” “enlightened” or “Aware”.} These things cannot all be lumped together. A person with what we call "mental illness" is in some way noticeably out of touch with reality, whereas an enlightened or awakened person is more in touch with it. The world of the mentally ill is smaller and more closed off and restricted than the general population, and much more closed off than the enlightened person. You may be interested in looking into the work of Dr. Abraham Low, a now deceased Psychiatrist who completely dispatched with labels and diagnoses, and simply helped his patients rid themselves of distorted thinking and replace it with objective reality. His work also included the removal of stigma for his patients. His program has just begun to be used in Los Angeles in both the mental health center and the jails with wonderful results. Where once the inmates fought and turned on one another, they have begun to support and care about each other as they learn together how to become mentally healthy.

Karen, with caps off/opened and using my WB metaphor, author Joseph Campbell sums it up best by saying, “The schizophrenic is drowning in the same waters in which the mystic swims with delight.”

Mr. Joseph,
Ironically, you added me this past THursday while I was connecting with my TF soulmate Joseph in spirit though automatic writing!I felt assurance when you found me out of the blue!Then on Friday night,this topic became even more interesting when I met Dr. Alcorn, a Psychiatrist and shaman who gave a lecture "Compassionate Depossession." Alcorn showed a video based on his book "Healing Stories," He proves spirit attachment with physical evidence by use an illuminator machine. It that shows the energy and spirits on the woman, who suffered extreme rape. Alcorn does not believe in the use of medication in most cases.He sacredly and gently counseled the person with attachments, after putting her into trance and allowing the spirits to speak though. In doing this, the sprits attached to the woman were lead to their own consciousness of the effect it was having on the subject.They then left the scene and into the light with Archangel Michael's help. He is located in Beechwood Ohio. He spoke at Unity Church and set sacred Hawaiian space there.Many blessings to you and your work!Heather Andres
