CAN THE MIND BECOME ILL?

 In the early 1900s, a wanna-b psychologist named B.F. Skinner, suggested that Man does not have a MIND, and here is what he is quoted as saying:

Skinner was wrong, of course, but since he was an intellectual and given to the malady of Intellectualism [locked into the brain and thinking while in denial of emotions], his quote tells us [well at least me] how much he feared of his own MIND.

Skinner and other thinkers did things to animals and then watched the animals react to what was done to them... and they assumed that the reactions of the animals was a choice they made... presumably by the brain within the animal.  These people called their game of reporting the actions of animals in response to being tortured by the oxymoron "behavioral psychology".  

Skinner was somehow able to force the field of Psychology at the time to grant these animal provokers use of the label "behavioral psychology," and made this an official part of Psychology.

And so, since the early 1900s, the field of psychology"[began  effectively to eliminate much of the Esoteric nature of Psychology], and began to incorporated pure Intellectualism, and the oxymoron behavioral psychology as "modern psychology".  As a consequence,  the three-quarters of Man that are entirely invisible to the brain are simply ignored.  And young people and Veterans are committing suicide in increased numbers due to a lack of competent psychotherapists.

As to the question of the MIND becoming ill... The MIND, or "Invisible MIND, thus "I-MIND" (to remind us that the "I" of I-MIND means that the MIND is invisible to one's brain and physical senses).  Therefore,  the I-MIND  it is not physical, and is not subject to physical illness.  But it is the I-MIND that plays havoc with the Delusional Thinking it feeds to the Left-Hemisphere of the brain of Man.  If there is any "illness" today... that illness is an ignorance of how to properly deal with the I-MIND of Man caught up in negative thoughts that are harmful to self and to others.

In other words... where do the negative thoughts come from?  Duh, they come from a person's I-MIND, and they are based on deeply repressed bits of trauma hidden "Within" a person's I-MIND. A person is not an animal, by the way!

It is the denial of the MIND that constitutes the "illness" of  mental health today... as "psychology" no longer deals with the largely Esoteric Psychology given to the world by the ancient  Greeks.
