Empower yourself for rationally-based self-actualization / self-realization and self-healing, and to clear yourself of 'negative' and harmful unseen influences and resolve emotional and 'mental health' issues and troubles with addictions, habits, compulsions, fixations, attachments, 'voices' and troublesome 'entity' manifestations...

Original writings that are challenging and clarifying. Read about enlightenment and the nature of reality, and the nature of our primary obstacles, and how you can do something about the latter;

Thus, as long as this site's online, and I'm still alive, this online version would always be more up-to-date than the latest backup copy, and so is what you need to be using whenever possible.

This is available as a zip file. It's important to recognise it as a backup (in case of disappearance of this site, which would presumably happen after my death), and not to use it as a regular offline version before that time unless you regularly update it from here. I have a reminder set up for me to update it weekly.

Put paid to back and neck trouble, make walking much easier and less stressful on the knees (great for hiking), and reap all manner of other benefits...

True self-actualization / self-realization not only doesn't require ongoing guidance by a guru but actually requires ongoing 'guidance' by yourself with no guru. Also, contrary to widespread belief, it does NOT require formal meditation and works better without it. I show the easy way you can start today and get moving fast towards optimal self-actualization - turning your life around as you most likely never thought possible.

This is more than just a glossary, actually being a mini encyclopaedia covering not only relevant routine definitions, but also including my clarifying redefinitions and often challenging, belief-busting understandings relating to the terms covered. It makes an extremely valuable and educational read in its own right.

The point is that for anyone at all this is a highly educational page, which would assist the reader towards a more focused and awarely thought-out healing / self-actualization strategy and process.

...and because many people who come writing to me are feeling desperate with some particular crisis, I give the following page as a great starting point for them, so that they then have no cause at all to write in to me asking for 'help':

...And because people keep writing in to me asking for advice about such issues, and indeed for help in 'entity removal', I highlight here a great 'starting point' page for them - with the caveat that they'd need to follow the various links given on that page:

A section of my Original Writings of especial relevance for doctors, nurses and mental healthcare workers, and indeed all who want to understand and address mental health issues. If you have problems with 'entities' or troublesome psychic or paranormal phenomena, or supposedly 'demonic' manifestations, this is a great section of my original writings to help you gain understanding and actually to start resolving the problem.

In-depth writings - subjects including the true nature of enlightenment , which is part of the intrinsic potential of each one of us because it's simply direct perception and recognition of one's true nature...

Drop religion, spirituality, the whole sordid and actually sinister New Age pantomime, and indeed all 'isms', and at last tune into your real way forward, free of all that would seek to have control over you!

On the other hand, if you're anything like a 'normal' person - i.e., a 'sheep' , who is incapable of thinking properly for him/herself, and lives his/her life on the basis of belief and 'received wisdom', then indeed you may be thinking "WTF?!" (or maybe indeed "BAAAAA!") in response to what I'm on about...

When you've read what I have to say on this subject you may well feel a bit shocked and/or disbelieving / dismissive, but nonetheless you'll find yourself facing a serious challenge to ditch 'spirituality' yourself in favour of the REAL way forward.

There's a fundamental and overridingly important reason why I've dispensed with the whole concept of 'spirituality' and am talking of clear-mindedness and rationality instead - and it doesn't in the slightest mean that I've turned materialist!

Introducing the methodology, with a background summary and explanation of the basic principles and rationale, including the 2018 switch away from using the Clarity-Sphere .

a further progressive rise started in the beginning of January 2020, so that by mid-January the figures were fluctuating in the mid to upper 200s, with occasional isolated incursions once more into the low 300s

Considering the lives that are regularly saved through people discovering this site, any such fall in traffic is a serious matter, and is bound to result in quite a lot of unnecessarily lost or trashed lives.

The numbers returned to a definite increasing trend in the first two months of 2016, but were then on a gradual decline again, then taking a serious tumble over Christmas 2016 and barely starting to recover before resuming a gradual decline from the new low level - fluctuating in the mid-200s to mid-300s through 2017 and into 2018, but dropping further from the beginning of August 2018, from then onwards being in the low 200s and starting to dip into the 100s , despite all the measures I've applied to supposedly improve my sites' search engine ranking.

The number of actual human visits to this site (excluding robots / 'spiders', but necessarily still somewhat approximate) had a very long-term upward trend, peaking in the winter of 2014/5 at a weekly cycle from the low 500s to low 700s per day , but during the spring of 2015 a gradual decline became evident, probably caused by two factors that would have got my sites a somewhat reduced ranking in search engines - one of the factors being linked to the now considerable proportion of page requests on my sites coming from mobile phones,which are basically unsuitable devices for viewing / reading the pages of such a large and 'weighty' site, with associated reduction of visits from people using desktop computers or other actually suitable devices.

Why 'self-actualization' / 'self-realization'?

Open up your REAL self, dissolve ALL belief, and clear yourself of the 'dark side'...

If you believe that things are, or should be, one way or another,

Self-actualization - the proper (proactive) mindfulness, and the ultimate mental health!

Self-realization* is the primary and most fundamental subject of this website, but, unusually and for a most important reason, here it's fully linked to grounded clear-mindedness instead of airy-fairy notions of 'higher realities' or freaky 'higher' perceptions. Self-realization is indeed THE most fundamental life task** of EVERYBODY, and everybody has a potential and natural desire and motivation for it, though this is almost always to varying extents covered up or occluded and distorted. It's not imposed upon us by any external agent (such as 'God') but is implicit and intrinsic in the fact of our coming into incarnated (physical) life. As I've explained in Exit 'Spirituality' - Enter Clear-Mindedness, not only religions but ALL spiritual and metaphysical traditions and so-called spiritual paths have in their different ways, and in some cases very subtly, diverted people away from this true life task of theirs of self-realization (which is in addition to more individual-specific life tasks of theirs).

* I've belatedly chosen to refer to this generally as self-actualization. I hope that my use of this less confusing alternative term will help put across the message that my approach to 'self-realization' is a down-to-earth and practical one - not one based in some far-out 'spiritual' dogma.

I do actually feel that the term 'self-actualization' feels a bit clunky, but at least it has a more grounding feel about it than 'self-realization', so it does have a particular relevant advantage - especially in the 'mental health' field, where maximization of one's groundedness is a particularly high priority need. Its one disadvantage is that for some people it will be associated in their minds with various psychology disciplines, whose understanding of 'self-actualization' is actually (sic) not fully 'there', and tends to be associated with a lot of psychological 'intellectualization-speak' that's really nothing more than verbal flatus that seeks to impress people. ** This needs qualifying. I'm distinguishing here between a life purpose and a life task. My best understanding so far is that the most fundamental life purpose of everybody is simply, to experience - and to do so in as much variety and abundance as is reasonably workable to do so, but without recourse to persistent and major pain, suffering or negativity of the sort that the garbage is causing for us. This site's additional focus, then, is on clearing ourselves of the interferences of the garbage - and indeed on actually looking to find means to seriously weaken or dissolve the garbage itself. It follows on naturally from the focus on self-actualization - so that we live lives that are not only abundant in experience but are also immensely more consistently happy and positive than they can be at the present time. Indeed, once the garbage has been fully dissolved, as it could at least conceivably be at some stage, in new civilizations without leftover problems from the garbage the whole concept of 'self-realization' or 'self-actualization' in the high-powered sense that I mean here would no longer be particularly meaningful. People would have some degree of birth trauma and probably the odd other relatively minor traumas or stresses to clear early in their lives, but they'd naturally become enlightened early in their lives, and what I'm calling self-actualization methods would be used only by some people, in a more relaxed way, for some degree of enhancement of the life experience, but without any cause to go striving for phenomenally high levels of self-actualization (i.e., far beyond mere enlightenment ), which are actually counter-productive for maximum vividness and abundance of experience (our fundamental life purpose - remember?).

It's because of this lack, and indeed avoidance, of genuine self-actualization, resulting from interference from the garbage, that we have hugely overpopulated this planet and look to be on the verge of reaping unthinkable consequences of this (see The Future of Humanity - Countenancing the Unthinkable).

So, what, then, is self-actualization / self-realization? Is it doing a bit of Yoga or Tai Chi and perhaps some manifestation practices (e.g., to get rich quickly or to get an 'ideal' partner or your dream mobile phone) to make your life supposedly better? Or is it going off to meditate in a cave or monastery for the rest of your years?

No, it's none of those, and is much more fundamental and all-including - but it does make your life MUCH better, including almost always in all sorts of ways you'd never considered as possibilities for yourself. True and full self-actualization is based on the understanding that our underlying and true nature and identity is none other than the all-pervading fundamental consciousness (or universal consciousness) itself - which is 'the Ultimate' as far as anyone can tell.

It transcends all concepts of 'God', 'Spirit', supposed higher beings or supposed higher levels of reality, and so is the 'highest' reality that we can ever know of. It's not something separate from yourself that you can worship, because it's you and everything. The moment you're into even the slightest trace of worshipping, you're way off-course for self-actualization.

When you become 'enlightened' (I'd prefer to say, when you gain fundamental clarity) you perceive directly this fundamental consciousness as being your true nature and identity*. However, that's only a particular, albeit fundamental and crucial, stage in your self-actualization process. Self-actualization is the process of making fully manifest in physical form your true nature as fundamental consciousness itself - so that you become a full, undistorted** manifestation of your true nature, whose basis is vibrant awareness, love, fully responsible free choice, positivity, creativity, and the tremendous egoless individual power that naturally flows from these.

* That is, in contrast with simply 'knowing' intellectually (and indeed believing) that your true nature is fundamental consciousness. A fair number of people have that sort of 'knowing' (which isn't really knowing at all), but only a minute proportion of people actually have fundamental clarity and perceive their true nature directly (really the only means of 'knowing' - that is, as far as anyone can really know anything!).

** Strictly speaking, as physical incarnations we are inherently distorted manifestations of fundamental consciousness - but those inherent distortions are much more subtle than what we actually notice in the 'real world'. So, by describing an optimally self-actualized person as being an undistorted manifestation of fundamental consciousness, I'm really talking in a relative sense, in which the distortions inherent in the very fact of incarnation aren't classed as distortions. - Clear as mud? -- Then let's continue...

Through the self-actualization / self-realization process you do NOT lose your identity. Rather, you lose all your limiting false identities, all your 'masks' and pretences, and discover your true identity as a micro-aspect or micro-facet of fundamental consciousness itself. You thus open up what's really, and has always been, your natural state. By this means you become truly FREE. Few people know what real freedom is, because it can't be described meaningfully - but you come to experience more and more of it as you continue your self-actualization process.

You don't find the ultimate happiness by seeking happiness, and certainly not through seeking pleasure. Instead you discover it through your self-actualization process, in which life progressively becomes its own joyful 'pleasure'.

This site, therefore, is about the true means to come into enduring and deeply meaningful happiness* and freedom, which remains unsullied regardless of what life may appear to be throwing at you. In order to achieve that it's necessary to clear out all obstructions and 'negative' influences that you're carrying - including ALL beliefs and held opinions, no matter whether apparently 'positive' or 'negative', and never mind how deeply seated or ingrained.

* Although that's true to a point, it's also not true at all!

The point here is that from the self-actualized viewpoint the whole concept of 'happiness' is pretty meaningless. What ordinary, non-enlightened, little-self-actualized people mean by 'happiness' is a whole unedifying gaggle of different flip-side-of-painful-emotions, which they seek out or/and cling onto because they don't know any better! On the other hand, as you clear out all that crap during your self-actualization process you find increasingly that your basic natural state is a sort of pain-free light-hearted (not light-headed!) playfully joyful vibrancy of experience and outlook, which is your 'home' or 'base' state. And because it's just an aspect of your natural state, it has no need nor cause to be given a name, for it's simply how you really are, free from the life-degrading encumbrance of any perceived need to seek or cling onto whatever one identifies as 'happiness', with all the problems that the latter brings with it.

As hard personal experience has shown me, the overriding proportion of such obstructions and 'negative' influences is a result of direct and indirect interference from the garbage , which cultivates unawareness / delusion, ego power, control, fear and negativity.

For this reason, on this site I give much information about how the garbage is interfering with ALL people, and I include accounts of my own often severe personal experiences with it (manifesting for me as 'ascended masters', 'angels', 'guides' and what people often call astral or dark entities), and how we can securely, safely and indeed joyfully clear ourselves of its interferences and become truly free and self-actualized, living abundant and joyfully vibrant lives.

To this end, on this site I introduce and describe or at least point to methods to clear out old emotional issues and traumas, rigid patterns of outlook, and all manner of habitual physical distortions and other misuses of the body. You can find out effective ways of letting go of addictions and of actually resolving or healing so-called mental illness and 'personality disorders' - particularly as I show clearly from my own insights based on experiences of my own, what the real causes of these are and the ways in which the medical and mental healthcare services fail us almost completely over such issues (see, for example, Psychiatry - My Personal Experience - Gaining Fundamental Insights and Night Terrors and Hell Experiences - Understanding and Clearing Them).

I also show how religion and 'spirituality' as normally understood can't properly resolve the latter issues and indeed tend to compound them, and how rationally-based self-actualization / self-realization is the one overall way forward.

There's 'mindfulness' and proper mindfulness, just as there's 'mental health' and genuine mental health!

Yes, and they're worlds apart! 'Mindfulness' is widely recognised nowadays as a supposedly Good Thing to cultivate, and undoubtedly many people do benefit from it relative to how they'd been living prior to taking that on. However, what is generally recognised as 'mindfulness' (note that I nowadays put that term with its popular meaning in single quotes) is only a pale, and insidiously HARMFUL, shadow of genuine mindfulness.

What I'm inclined to call proper mindfulness is what the methodology presented on this site cultivates. 'Mindfulness' is generally meditation-based and more or less passive, based upon regular formal meditation, which itself is harmful through its ungrounding effects and the insidious 'cocooning' self-deceptions that it lands you with (it hides issues rather than addresses them). Proper mindfulness is actually what I prefer to call clear-mindedness in order to avoid it being associated in people's minds with 'mindfulness' and all the insidious harm that the associated meditation brings. It is a much more active and indeed proactive mental state, in which one is in a vibrant healthy balance of:

being peaceful observer of all one is experiencing, and

actively engaging with life situations in thought-out, constructive and creative ways, often being forthright in taking appropriate action to improve the life experience for oneself and others - but in an aware, flexible and rational way, not driven by compulsions or emotions.

Similarly but much more brazenly, as I have explained in many places on this site, what is laughably called 'mental health' in our various cultures is an outrageous travesty of the real thing - a grotesque pantomime of the blind and ignorant leading (and unfortunately often 'treating') the blind and quite often not so ignorant! For a detailed explanation please see especially How All Psychiatrists Could Begin Genuinely to Help Their Clients.

The methodology presented on this site gives you the real means to cultivate the proper, proactive, mindfulness that I call clear-mindedness, which is also part and parcel of the genuine and ultimate mental health. In the latter you have self-command in constantly improving your mental and physical functioning, without any call for the ignorant and seriously limiting and indeed harmful ministrations of 'mental health' practitioners or services.

Do you want to be 'appropriate'? - Or authentic?

This appears also on the homepage of my Personal website as an introduction to all my sites. It gives a particularly important practical angle on why self-actualization is so important, and why failure to go for genuine self-actualization is to let yourself down, while letting everyone else down into the bargain.

"Are you an atheist or an agnostic, then?"

Yes! -- But also, just to confuse you, no! -- But then again, am I a hummus eater or a baby eater, or a lover of cats or of choirboys, or a strangler of wet facecloths or of porcupines? After all, the public has a right to know, hasn't it? - And a useful - nay, crucially important! - purpose is served or benefit gained by garlanding me with such categorizations? Perhaps somebody would like to explain to this ignorant bawzleflob the rational basis of their supposed crucial importance, and their relevance to the contents of this site!

Oh, how people want to categorize, to label each other - especially to try to label awkward old cusses like this one, who've clearly broken away from the ways of the 'sheep' majority!

The reality is that I'm simply as I am and I think as I think, and don't think as I don't think - and fundamentally base my life outlook and deeds upon what makes the best sense on an awarely and rationally loving and caring basis.

As I've indicated further above, on the basis of my own observations and awareness and reasoning ability I've rejected all views of the nature of 'reality' and our life experience that are based upon belief - and that includes all that are based upon 'received wisdoms' / 'teachings', because all that is simply more belief, and belief informs us genuinely of precisely nothing apart from particular serious problems of mental functioning displayed by the believers. You can't be a fully positive force in your own life and the world at large if you're holding belief.

That means, for one thing, that I hold no belief in any sort of 'god' or 'divine presence'. However, I don't hold a disbelief in them, for that would be just another belief, albeit a negative one. Instead I live my life on the basis of an open-mindedly applied empirically based working model of reality and our life experience, which does exclude the existence of any conscious beings or presences of any sort external to or 'beyond' the physical 'reality' - that is, apart from human consciousness itself. So, for me their nonexistence is a working assumption, not a categorical belief, but it's nonetheless proved to be a crucial aspect of the working model and associated strategy and set of methods that enabled me to clear myself of some very troublesome non-physical interferences that went disturbingly near to killing me or making me an intractable 'psychiatric case' some years ago.

A really fundamental truth (if anything at all could be called 'truth') is that about anything non-physical or metaphysical, including the nature of 'reality' and our life experience, we can't know anything. Thus even the first vestiges of belief inevitably obscure whatever is really true - what I refer to as 'What Is', whatever that is!

I don't accept the labels 'atheist' or 'agnostic', even though actually aware use of either of those terms would at least to some extent include my own outlook - especially 'agnostic'. The problem with the labels is that for the vast majority of people those labels are rigid categorizations, which imply particular belief systems and stereotyped notions - and indeed, many who regard themselves as agnostic or, especially, atheists, are locked into their own respective belief systems and so are really doing little better than those who have overtly religious or 'spiritual' belief. 'Atheist' would be sort-of applicable to me only if its definition included people who open-mindedly assume there's no god, whether or not also including those who believe there's no god.

"Aren't your beliefs similar to those of... [tradition, 'teacher' or writer]?"

For my response to that common question / comment, please see the relevant section in FAQ Corner, Part 2.

"The site's standpoint and methodology are highly controversial"

In forums and other places where people draw attention to or comment upon this site, including on the much over-valued WOT site-rating site, I've seen the above, and variants thereof, commonly stated with regard to this site's contents. What such statements tell you first and foremost is that the individuals who made them are 'sheep', who seek to use pejorative rhetoric to dismiss or at least to render unappealing anything that challenges their own limited, belief-constrained view of the life experience. They are the modern equivalents of the ignorant 'sheep' who opposed the rationally-derived early models of our solar system and Universe put forward by Copernicus and Galileo. Yes, in the broader context I'm in some very good company!

The reality is that NOTHING in the whole of 'Existence' is intrinsically or objectively 'controversial', just as nothing is intrinsically good, bad, or right or wrong. So, if you want to describe in a rational and useful way something that's challenging to majority views you need to say exactly what's significant about it, leaving out that empty and prejudicial epithet 'controversial'.

The particular attribute of my writings on this site that has earned them the 'sheep' appellation of 'controversial' is simply that they challenge and cut through existing beliefs and orthodoxies. The fact that my writings are putting forward a (tiny) minority view and are exceptionally challenging to the outlooks of the hugely vast majority, however, doesn't in itself inform you as to whether or not these writings have any worth.

If you want to establish the worth of these writings, then, you'd need to read carefully through them and actually test for yourself the working model and methodology and thus find out to what extent they're rationally based, rather than just spouting yet more of the quagmire of belief and 'received wisdoms' that has fouled up the whole of human existence so far.

In fact these writings are conceived and very much based in a rational, self-scrutinizing mindset, and based on actual personal observations and rigorous interpretation and testing, the like of which I've never seen in any other writings on the issues that I cover here. For this reason, in terms of real integrity and worth, they stand head and shoulders above all the much more popular and highly rated writings relating to the nature of reality and of human experience, including all religious scriptures and all the other siren outpourings from 'spiritual' teachers, gurus, channelled 'great Masters', and traditions and all that. So of course the 'sheep' vast majority automatically react by using prejudicial and at least implicitly pejorative terms to describe my work (and indeed me).

How can the most rational and practical approach to the whole arena of understanding the nature of reality, and the life experience that we've so far had, be described as 'controversial' and thus implicitly of very dubious worth? Unfortunately that appellation immediately associates this soundly-based working model and methodology with all manner of quack and scam methods and modalities that also get ill-advisedly called 'controversial' when actually more aware and rational people would describe them as what they really are - ill-founded or indeed fully scam systems (nothing controversial about that!).

It's a bitter irony that the writings on healing, self-actualization and the nature of reality and human experience that are not described as 'controversial' are to varying extents irrationally based - usually based simply on belief and 'received wisdom' (which is just more belief) or various cocktails of pseudo-science and false reasoning, and are all at least to some extent harmful - very much including of course all 'holy' books and scriptures, regardless of which tradition or belief system they're associated with.

Please therefore let's all drop use of that weasel word 'controversial' for anything at all, and learn to use a proper objective description of the particular object, writing, challenge or issue that's being referred to. That would benefit everyone.

"This site's bounce rate is very high, so it can't be any good!"

That of course is a 'sheep' statement!

The so-called 'bounce rate' is the percentage of site visitors who land on one page and then leave it without clicking through to any other pages on the site. While I don't have that figure for any of my sites, I have no doubt at all that for this site it would be much higher than people would expect for a supposedly good site, and would presumably be regarded as very poor indeed to the owner of a commercial website, and cause for alarm.

But does that really mean that this site is really of poor quality, with regard either to design or to its content? -- In fact no doubt the vast majority of people, full of their own beliefs and preconceived notions, would say that indeed this site is lamentably poor in all sorts of ways. However, this site was not primarily intended for that vast majority in the first place. Indeed, this site has an integrity that many a more popular site lacks: it presents information and a working model and methodology that challenge a huge range of majority views and beliefs, with a level of honesty that can never be approached by any belief-based site contents (belief intrinsically being a self-dishonesty). Therefore, the majority who come here would start reading on their landing page and would pretty quickly shrug their shoulders with a discreet "Oh dear!" or somewhat less discreet "What a f*cking idiot!", and would promptly go elsewhere.

My page on how to die peacefully and with dignity has a very high bounce rate, so there's something wrong with it, is there? -- If you stop and think about it, of course it would have a high bounce rate! Most people visiting that page are wanting to die or indeed to commit suicide. Yet that page is presenting a whole approach that most people wanting suicide wouldn't be interested in, because they're desperate and fixated on going ahead with suicide. Yet that page saves lives, because a small proportion of visitors to that page do actually 'get the message' and suddenly realize that I'm presenting on this site a genuine means for them to clear themselves of the very issue that's making them want to 'end it'. I can go only so far in trying to get the message across, because the majority of people are just too closed in their outlooks, and set in their ways.

Similarly, this site's homepage (i.e., this very page) has a very high bounce rate. That's inevitable, because lots of people looking for quality sites on self-realization find this page, as the homepage, in search engine lists, and so land on it, then, again, leave it with an "Oh dear!" or something much less complimentary, basically because they were really wanting it to be another spirituality-based (and thus belief-based) site that at least reasonably keyed in with their own beliefs. Yet there's no way that I can usefully or legitimately change the site's SEO (search engine optimization) to attract more of the 'right' people and less of the 'wrong' ones - that is, apart from the odd small detail tweaks that I make here and there.

Also, this page gets a lot of spurious visits that I have to assume come from computers that are part of one or more botnets. They look like genuine visits, though not giving a referrer string, and so can't be filtered out of my site statistics, but there's a certain pattern of the number of them varying in sync with the number of hacking attempts caught in my sites' bot trap system. They fluctuate between a roughly estimated additional 25% and 150% of what I estimate would be the genuine traffic that appears in my statistics for supposedly non-bot traffic for this page. Its bounce rate appears thus to be much inflated by a lot of mystery spurious traffic. In any case, generally a site's homepage would always be the primary one to get targeted by unwanted bots, some of which disguise themselves as regular browsers and so all too often can't be filtered out from the statistics.

Of course, anyway it's the 'sheep' mentality and not common sense that believes that what isn't liked by a fair proportion of the population must be rubbish. This site is about cutting right through all that nonsense and actually getting looking at and understanding what's actually there - not what people believe is there!

As the saying almost goes, If you really can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen - but please do hang on just a little to give yourself a chance to rethink and get seeing what you're missing!

"What a lot of rubbish you've written!..."

Sure! Just have a look at these examples and living proof of what rubbish I write.

This site saves lives. - Many of them! Not just figuratively but actually.

'The proof of the pudding is in the eating', as they say. What could be more rubbish than that?!!

"It's really cool to be normal..."

Portrait of a normal person Why are you banging your head against that wall? Sorry, I don't have time to stop and think about such things. I'm too busy banging my head against this wall. -- Oh, please do me a favour and pass the Paracetamol... -- And while you're about it, please bring the television round here so that I can watch it while I'm banging my head on this wall. You do need some entertainment to make life bearable, you know... (later) ...So, you're still banging your head against that wall, then! Do you really mean that I shouldn't do what I enjoy? People should be free to do what they enjoy! That's what we're here for - to enjoy ourselves! Portrait of a self-actualized, healthily functioning person

Why aren't you banging your head against that wall? Oh, that! I tried it a long time ago, and it hurt and was most incredibly boring. Just look at my freedom and clarity and ease of being and all the happiness and abundance in my life now because I don't keep doing that silly thing and getting stuck in pointless ruts! Well, in that case, at least you should take some Haloperidol to help cure you of your condition. - Er, you're telling me that H- (expletive censored) is a self-actualization aid and brings happiness and abundance and positivity to one's life? ...And also you should use your television more, to help cure you... What television? Where? My life is so full of wonderful things, why would I need one of those? ...Okay, if I ever have cause to get a big hole made in my head I'll consider getting a television at the same time... (later) ...I see you're still not banging your head against that wall! Don't you ever let your hair down and enjoy yourself? You really should, you know. It's unnatural and not normal if you don't just let go and enjoy yourself a bit. ...You're nuts! Then best not to eat me if you're sensitive to them!

Are you really so sure you want to be 'normal'?
