did we at one time agree that some symptoms of mental illness where due to boudary violations through the loosening or desintegration of the boundaries of the mental bodies of some susceptible individuals
Yes we did and my opinion hasn't changed that much since then [3.5 years ago] either.
There is no doubt that when one accepts the reality of psychic phenonema especially the area of tresspass and boundary violations and how society as a whole, universally, will react instinctively to that tresspass IMO most if not all socio mental illnesses, dysfunction has it's causality in the sharp learning curve needed by those persons who "stumble" upon the realisation of some of their "power of influence" and depending on that persons moral upbringing and inclinations can be extraordinarillly punishing to that persons life.
We live in an ignorant world that uses that ignorance as a veil to protect their self esteem and vested interests. When that veil is threatened the persons ego/will is automatically refexing to secure the ego's sanctuary. Some will also use igorance as a way of getting what they want from someone else but I can assure you at certain levels of consciousness there is absolute awareness of what is going on by every one [ universally ]
So if deliberate coersion in a psychic sense is applied then it is no different than rape, hostage taking, or false imprisonment and society reacts and punishes accordingly and not always with the morality of a modern society either.
So when it comes to the power of influence the hardest thing to realise amongst the euphoria of grandeous power complex and arousal that asking first and accepting no as the answer is what it takes to survive this dreadfull predicament of compulsion [ which is inveriably the case ] ignorance and arrogance.
{the power of influence is incredibly addictive}
