Some Inconvenient Truths About Medical Psychiatry

Psychiatry is medicine's failed attempt to bring science to the human psyche...the soul. Medicine crossed ill-equipped from the physical to the metaphysical, and usurped the human psyche from its rightful custodians...the spiritual community.

Medical psychiatry brought with it, and gave rise to, a host of false notions, theories and, most basic of all, definitions pertinent to the psyche. Through-out my tenure in school earning a degree in psychology (graduate study, as well) not once did I encounter in lectures and in text books formal definitions for the terms psyche, mind and emotions.

Psychiatry omits a formal definition of the psyche since such a definition must, of necessity, generate a valid working model. Psychiatry's self-imposed limitations—its secular-scientific approach—precludes the development of a valid psychiatric model of human consciousness. When the very basis of a system is undefined how firm can the structure be that is built upon it?

Of the definitions that psychiatry offers, most are poorly conceived. This page is an effort to correct a number of psychiatry's obstructive errors.

1.	The psyche exists as a function of brain development.
	False. The fabric of human consciousness is soul...incarnated spirit. With smug scientific bias, psychiatry unwisely dismissed the true meaning of the Greek word psyche as an unprovable belief and therefore scentifically unacceptable. This major blunder had significant clinical repercussions. By rejecting that we are soul and accepting that psyche is brain-matter psychiatry went from one belief to another. That the human psyche is brain is an unprovable belief. Hence, psychiatry is not the science it claims to be. Form cannot create consciousness...consciousness creates form. When you bring yoga breathing into your life and you can expect to experience the true meaning of the word psyche.

2.	Mind is synonymous with psyche...with human consciousness.
	False. This, too, serves to generate confusion. The mind is, by definition, the organ of memory. Memories are stored in the mind, and returned to us by the mind. The mind, clearly, is a device (the organ) for memory storage and retrieval.

3.	The mind is in the brain.
	False. The entire body is the mind...the entire body is the organ of memory. Give it some thought...from a technical communication systems perspective it must be...and it is. The brain is the interface between the psyche and the body/mind. As such, the brain is a transducer that converts the energy of thought into neurological energy to permit access and control of the body. The brain also mediates memory and perception.

4.	There is a subconscious mind.
	False. This implies there is a specific area of the mind where all forgotten memory slides to and huddles together. The truth is that each memory is individually conscious (rememberable) or subconscious (forgotten).

5.	A neurosis is intrinsic to the psyche.
	False. Neurosis is a nonsense word. Behavior that is conventionally considered a neurosis comes of the memory programming that we place in the mind. Practically every memory we place in the mind is programming to run the psyche. The most powerful programming is memory that has suppressed emotion attached to it, as occurs with emotional trauma.

6.	Psychoanalysis analyzes the psyche.
	False. Another nonsense term. Analysis is of memory. It is an attempt to determine which of your suppressed upsets (your programming) lodged in your mind has most control over you.

7.	The ego is intrinsic to the human psyche.
	False. The ego is the inadvertent product of the human psyche. We create our ego when, ignorant of the mind as the organ of memory, we strongly identify with the mind, its content and the influence of the mind's powerful memory functions. The sum-total of our ensuing intellectual and emotional way of being is our ego manifested.

8.	Personality defines consciousness.
	False. Personality is the manner or style by which ego presents itself. Personality defines ego.

9.	The psyche suffers intrinsic psychosis.
	False. Psychotic experiences are extreme cognitions and/or behaviors that result from any one (or any grouping) of the following energies...chemical, emotional, psychic and spiritual...which have the potential to exist in the psyche's environment...the body/mind.

10.	Schizophrenia is fragmenting of the psyche.
	False. Schizophrenia, indicated by multiple personalities, is fragmenting of ego—ego's fall. It is a dissolving of the individual's identification with the mind—a process that should be viewed as a healing—and is the first step to the profound experience of self-realization.

11.	The plights of the human psyche can be resolved with prescription drugs.
	False. Drugs synthesized for the psyche are brain-chemistry oriented. Human consciousness is not brain, but incarnated human spirit. These deleterious pharmaceuticals deny the human spirit and ultimately degrade its physical environment with improper chemical energies. Energies—chemical, emotional, psychic, and even spiritual—are at the root cause of mental problems, and must be dealt with appropriately. Yoga breathing is the perfect natural healing modality to deal with emotional, psychic and spiritual energies...and the proper nutritious food, along with herbs, vitamins, minerals and essential oils, is the correct way to heal the body of chemical energies...NOT PHARMACEUTICAL DRUGS.

12.	Modern psychiatry is a science.
	False. Psychiatry is a nonscience. A true science is distinguished by natural energy systems...such as those of light and heat...and the technologies they give rise to. No energy system is presently at the foundation of today's psychiatry, nor has psychiatry a workable structure of the psyche with a coherent healing rationale. Psychiatry's approach is speculative. Psychiatry, trapped in its medical and behavioral paradigms, fails to recognize the fusion between psychophysics (the modern science of human perception—an energy system) and metaphysics (the ancient spiritual science of mind—also an energy system) as constituting the long sought single science of the psyche that adequately explains its many seeming pathologies.

13.	Psychiatry is a bastion of reality.
	False. Western psychiatry is ignorant of what constitutes ultimate reality. It does not have the necessary spiritual insight into what is termed the illusion of life. It rejects the domain of the supernatural and invalidates bona fide spiritual experiences, diagnosing them as symptoms of psychosis. The greater truth is that the bastion of reality eludes modern psychiatry.
