Some insights from contemplating: There is a spectrum for all the possible sets of mental disorders and illness. Mental Disorders is a blanket terminology that generalizes any particular kind, combinations and rate of all the different kinds of mental stability. By definition, a mental disorder, characteristic traits, or a mental illness can be caused by basically two factors: genetics, and a very underdeveloped psychology/ ego development. It can be triggered by trauma as a way of coping with the parts of yourself that were fragmented as a defense mechanism. There are very different kinds of ways an ego can fracture especially during critical stages and phases of a person's development, like infancy -toddler-child-teen-adult. If you look into the development and state of consciousness of someone with borderline personality disorder, they experience a strong fear and reaction to any form of abandonment, they have a fragile sense of self, a. Lack of self reflection and they experience emotions as whole realities. There is no sense of object permanence. Study the psychology of various mental illness from experts in the field like Dr ramani durvasula PhD, lise labanc, especially in the context of relationships. Also someone with narcissism, BPD don't have a solid sense of self which if you get a hit on it, is quite sad. Because they don't experience a stable sense of self like you possibly do, it's not nothingness like the void of enlightenment, it's a nothing where there should have been a a stable healthy ego that gets solidified during the critical points throughout a babies life, but for some reason it got stuck before a healthy secure ego can form.

Sounds like an Asians accent of someone saying situation from a south park episode hahah

Bad luck for splitting a pole while walking with another person

I ain't gonna lie, Trump was funny in reading that ibogaine lifts depression and anxiety in patients over a period within a month up to 90%, he said "can I have some of that"? Lol.

How is it possible for a bag of meat and bones to ask the question "what am I"? Animal's don't contemplate their own existence. This is crazier than you may think, for an organism to wonder what it is and to notice the weirdness and absurdity to ask that is the mystery.

@Leo Gura made me cry! That was sad man. I feel bad for the baby and the cop. Truly sad.

Target as well.

@Leo Gura will you make a video on this topic in the future? The world of Mental health and Disorders is so important and fascinating, what is schizophrenia, ect??? It makes me question my own mental health and my own experiences when trying to look at what's going on with someone that has a disorder. It goes back to the question, what is consciousness? This question goes so deep especially in the world of understanding Mind. Also psychedelics, they produce these mental states or do they merely draw out what is already there? Hallucinations, and psychosis, why do psychedelics put one in states that can be interpreted as mental disorders? It can be frightening for someone having a strong trip that feels psychotic but an extremely expanded state of consciousness but you know you can't tell someone, especially a psychiatrist because they will tell you that you are having a episode and put you on drugs ironically.

This was 8 years ago!!!! Narcissism

That's a solid observation. People use the defense mechanisms against their parents or siblings when they were younger even in relationships. Someone once said that a woman doesn't treat you the way she treats her father, she treats you the way her mother treated her father.

Then it was a dumb joke because Hussein is a smart guy

I can smell this video

Check out Leo's episode " The 9 stages of ego development" part 1-3. There is a link in the description of an in depth 90 page article of this model by Susan which goes into insane depth of how an individual mind thinks, evolves and survives. Check it out. Life transforming

@Leo Gura Susan cook greuter is so underrated, I'm reading her paper and looking at some interviews of hers. Do you have any more resources, books and recommendations to further deepen my understanding. You can pm me if you want, I really want to touch those higher stages, watch for self deception and reassure myself especially at the construct aware stage, it can be disorienting and quite lonely
