Are You Schizoid Without Knowing It?
– 6 min read
Schizophrenic people often see themselves as observing out of the body with the all-seeing eye just like in Tolkien's tales about Sauron and the burning eye. They also see humans as machines and as parts rather than whole human beings. Schizoid mentality happens when you stop learning and seeing things as a whole and without love and connection.
It is either a stroke in your right hemisphere or you teaching your left hemisphere that people have no worth and are things you can use and manipulate like a Machiavellian, narcissist, sadist, and totalitarian.
All dictators in human history were devoid of their right hemisphere functionality.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking you are different.
Left hemisphere
The left hemisphere deals with what is explicit and certain.
It is what you refer to as your consciousness and it will defend only what it knows even if it has to lie. There is only one emotion located in the left hemisphere, namely aggression. It knows only what associations your right hemisphere has taught it or rather exposed it to which I will explain more down below. It talks only to itself and it will defend its truth to its death. For it to change you need to let your left side of the brain accept new signals and associations from your right brain.
Because the corpus callosum that connects your two brain hemispheres can only accept a signal or not.
You might ask yourself how I can claim that the left side of the brain lies to protect the assumption of its conscious mental world.
How can anyone know for certain that the left brain hemispheres lie?
It is called the Wada experiment.
In the experiment, you can test a person with right brain hemisphere stroke damage or you can do the simpler version of using anesthesia where you sedate either side of the brain to run the experiments.
Wada experiment 1
Since the right hemisphere is connected to the left hand and leg.
When the patient is asked to answer if the left arm or hand is theirs. They will say “No” and turn their functioning right eye away from the view of the left arm. If you pick up their left arm and move it into the patient's right eye view they will turn their head to hide the left arm. Because it does not accept it. It does everything in its power to not accept the fact that it is part of its body.
What about the left hemisphere and common sense?
Wada experiment 2
In one experiment they used anesthesia on the right hemisphere of a Russian woman.
Then use these statements on her.
Premiss 1: Monkeys climb trees.
Premiss 2: Hedgehogs are Monkeys.
Conclusion: Hedgehogs climb trees.
It turns out hedgehogs do climb trees but people usually do not know that.
When she was put through anesthesia of her right hemisphere she answered without hesitation that the hedgehog does climb trees.
But when she was not under anesthesia, she said that the hedgehog does not climb trees.
You see this clearly when you argue with someone and they blatantly lie in the argument even though you see that it would be common sense to agree with what you are saying.
That is because the left hemisphere when it focuses on something has a hard time letting go. It also only talks to itself.
To be completely honest, signals do go back to the right hemisphere, but they are much slower compared to the signals from the right to the left.
As you can see. Your left hemisphere contains all your “isms”.
Totalitarianism
Narcissism
Feminism
Authoritarianism
Machiavalianism
Sadism
Psychopathy
We all have it in us but when you use your right hemisphere properly you become a normal person.
Right hemisphere
The right hemisphere deals with everything that is implicit and uncertain.
Your right hemisphere is your unconsciousness and you are never aware of it working until it makes the association or connections and feeds that signal into your left hemisphere through the Corpus Callosum.
The right hemisphere contains your IQ, empathy, intellect, conceptualization, and Gestalt principles.
IQ
Your IQ is your working memory and is basically how many numbers can you have in your working memory at any given time.
You use that function to conceptualize what you see make associations and see what is in between things.
You are born with the potential of IQ, and non-nutritious food will reduce the possibility of you reaching 100% at 25 years of age.
You use your IQ to conceptualize, associations and see the world and other humans through Gestalt principles.
Gestalt principles
Your right hemisphere sees the world as a whole with Gestalt principles.
Rule of Emergence
Rule of Closure
Rule of Common Region
Rule of Continuity
Rule of Proximity
Rule of Multistability
Rule of Figure/Ground
Rule of INvariance
Rule of Pragnanz
Rule of Similarity
Rule of Symmetry
Rule of Common Fate
Your right hemisphere reasons and together with your left hemisphere you rationalize and create what is known as “Common sense”.
Empathy
Empathy is located in both the left and right hemispheres but the left watches only the mouth of a person and the right hemisphere watches other people's eyes.
The left hemisphere only copies other people's behaviors.
While the right hemisphere contains true empathy and this is how it works in you.
As your left eye is connected to the right hemisphere, it sees the emotions in other people's eyes.
The mirror neurons in the right hemisphere “imitate” other people's expressions.
Since your mirror neurons imitate the facial expressions of other people. Your facial muscles will then signal what emotion you are experiencing.
This is how you establish empathy to understand what other people's emotions are doing to them to see their point of view.
The Schizoid Western World
It is very clear to the trained eye that the Western world, void of nature, is increasingly schizoid.
Schizophrenia is a new mental disorder that came into existence during the Industrial Revolution when we became things that produce things linearly per hour.
If you live in a city you are twice as likely to develop schizophrenia.
But even if you do not get psychosis you can still see the world from a schizophrenic inhuman perspective since you do not see others or yourself as humans.
As soon as you start being effective and see the world as a production and process, you are slowly starting to kill humanity and nature.
As your left hemisphere sees things in processes and linear.
You can see how unreal your left hemisphere is by looking at nature.
There is absolutely, 100%, NOTHING in nature that is linear.
But the left brain forces you in the dogmatic, scientific logical way that has to simplify everything for you to easily digest it.
That is because the left brain does not deal with things that are complex or do not match its mental model of the world.
That is why people have a hard way of accepting others’ ways of thinking and points of view.
One major problem is that the world, nature, and humans are everything but simple or only one point of view.
We are complex beings that will never be simplified because we can never truly know everything.
If you do not believe me. Please read the 462 life-changing pages of “The Master and his Emissary” by Dr. Iain McGilchrist to read the science that backs this hypothesis.
You can also read the two other books “The Matter Of With Things“ ” parts 1 and 2 which are only together 2200 pages of Cognitive psychology.
