continuing thoughts and discussions:

emily dickinson your mind is projecting your reality.  both people had realities that were not paralell with those around them.  your mind provides ways of being a genius.  Are both of them forced to live in that reality because of other people or chemicals in their minds

brains linking to other brains.  Quakers believe that each person has a piece of the truth.  You share your truth and test it against each others.  Minds interacting with other brains and getting feedback that their perceptions are off kilter.

She's floating back and forth between time, present memories.  She's creating unconscious reality.

They can't sync up with the other people and their brains.  in the classroom things go awry when student to student or student to teacher brain interactions don't sync up.

Beautiful Mind - he did sync up with imaginary people, could bounce ideas off of them.  No one else in the world could match with him.  His wife could in an emotional way, but not in an intellectual way.

sensory deprivation - are people with mental health disorders lacking some of the inhabitory controls, allowing the constant generations of the brain to continued unchecked?

when you get high, you don't have those inhibitors, and you get amazing thoughts

people who lack inhibitors, others stay clear and feel really really sad. mental health - there's just so much that we don't understand.

changing the unconscious into a new patterns of behavior

hoarding - some people who are hoarding don't think that they're doing anything wrong.  Why do they have to change?  Why do they have to change?

if you're stuck in a mental disorder, you may not want to change, but you may not be functional.  there is not room for you in society.

medication?  every brain is different and you don't know what is going to work for each person.  and they don't really know what is happening when you are on medicine.

some people can be trained to exhibit adaptive behavior  

Inhibition without inhibitores - we have a narrow definition of what is considered normal behavior - mental health issues -->  gift and a burden -->how can we recognize the potential for gifts in people suffering from severe mental illness?
