The problem with all of this is the person doing the psychoanalyzing, most have the physical degrees that have studied all of the physicality as far as the sciences go,
but unfortunately these sciences do not go to the truth of existence.
They all stay within the realm of thought and as a result do not reach pure awareness.
Sciences are good for the material/physical realities, but you cannot see truth through a microscope, no matter how strong it is.
Truth is seen through the Self.
....,for example
when i returned from India after living in ashrams and sitting at the feet of a few spiritual masters, i was very much in a different place and could see things pretty clearly,
being completely without money, friends , family etc…..
someone guided me toward SSI for some support, one thing being that i had to see a Psychiatrist for the valuation. Since i had majored in abnormal Psychology in college,
i feared not.
...,explaining to the Shrink what i had experienced, he said i was totally crazy.
Since he had never gone beyond his thought mechanisms he couldn’t understand any of it, and therefore labeled me crazy.
i explained to him that as i sit in meditation, the physical world would transform into moving energy and i could literally go to a level of consciousness before thought turned into form. He laughed out loud and said look at these notes he’d taken that was two inches thick….,then said “you got some problems kid”.
So?
then i sat there and showed him i could disappear in front of his eyes…
he accused me of being on drugs. lol
...,anyway my point being is most therapists can’t get beyond Freud or that area in the psyche because they haven’t had that experience that takes them beyond their mind.
Nothing against anyone or anything, because we all progress at our own rate, and are exactly where we should be.
i also am understanding that some therapists do no fit into these descriptions, and many have experienced, even more that what i have described, and as a result are a real help in understanding your self.
Just be aware, and remember that someone describing how/what you are is not the same as you looking within your own self and discovering the truth.
