Here is the Report's URL [It seems to be associated with the Clinton
Administration.]
http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/Library/MentalHealth/
What disheartened me, on my first encounter with it, was the complete
absence of any understanding of how teaching how the 'brain'
processes information is the most-effective way of protecting folks
from environmental dynamics that, otherwise, tend to drive folks into
the "zone of randomness" [ZoR; AoK, Ap4, 5, 7, 8] unprotected, and
vulnerable.
I was also disappointed that there was no mention of the Society-wide
and International ramifications of the Same-Stuff.
Overall, my reaction to the report is that it addresses people as
"its" - 'things' to be 'operated-upon' by the 'vast armaments' of
"Mental Health" strategies.
In other words, "they're OK, and anyone at whom they point their
finger is not OK."
Which I found to be arrogant, Ignorant and "divergent" [in the sense
discussed in AoK, Ap8], rather than convergent.
There's no mention of the fact that all of 'humanity' has been 'out
to lunch' since the beginning, and the haphazard-accumulation of what
came to be accepted as 'understanding' is, itself, the main
progenitor of 'mental illness'.
The report is just another instance of Victims being further
Victimized by absence-of-understanding that deems itself 'to be
understanding'.
I want not to 'offend', but this's just more 'going through the
motions' stuff that gaains its illusion of 'efficacy' merely via
coerced consensus ["gotta buy-into this under penalty of 'failing'
grades"] perpetuated through repetition ad infinitum - they 'think'
it's 'something' because it's repeated so often within their
experience that they experience TD E/I-minimization with respect to
it, and so suffer the illusion of its 'being correct' - a classic
False Finitization [AoK, Ap4].
And what's so Exceedingly-Tragic is that the 'protests' of anyone
caught-up in the 'gears' of this Institutionalized-False-Finitization
are taken to 'constitute' "evidence" of their being 'mentally ill'.
It's the classic stacked-deck stuff of every "good ol' boy",
dues-paid, initiation-rituals-endured 'club'.
And that's all it is.
The other Exceedingly-Tragic thing is that the False-Finitization is,
supposedly, 'founded' upon all of the True-Jewels stuff produced
through the efforts of Neuroscience Experimentalists.
But it ain't - be-cause the Dictates of the 'publish or perish'
'rule' prevented anyone from doing the work of the longer-term task
of knitting-together all the True-Jewel stuff produced by the
Experimentalists.
Success was 'outlawed' by that one damn 'rule'.
And what's 'hilarious' is that, when someone endures the Ravaging
'out-cast-ed-ness' inherent in 'violating' that one 'rule', and
succeeds in the integration, the folks in the 'club' are so
'embarassed' that, even then, they can't accept the integrated thing.
I'm Sorry.
I mean not to 'offend'.
But Truth, inherent, is 'just' that Ugly.
It's 'broken', and needs to be Fixed.
Sans 'illusions' - sans False-Finitizations - with Love for Humanity,
which we Serve.
