I think about the rise in mental illness in our world, and we have no explanation for the cause. We just treat the symptoms and give big pharma a reason to make more and more money. Sure drugs help in extreme cases, but it will never treat the cause. So why is it happening? Is it pollution, waste, chemicals in our food and water? Sure those things have something to do with it. But it goes deeper, right? I obviously have a lot of questions, as I’m sure many of us do who share an interest and passion for this issue. The graphic above is awesome, but sometimes it’s not that simple.

I’ve begun to have some pretty intense ideas about it. I’ve even come to the hypothesis that these forms of mental illness, whether it be intense bipolarity, schizophrenia, autism, epilepsy, are natural progressions in our evolution. But why? What are we evolving to? Is it nature’s evolved method to cleanse the mind (step 3 above)? Could it be some type of accelerated empathy? A form of telepathy if you will. To be able to have a deeply personal experience, that most would perceive as crazy, and yet it be what binds us, what allows us to understand what each other is feeling, what each other is thinking. I always noticed this with my uncle. As much as he seemed to be unable to function “normally”, he always seemed to be in tune with what other people were thinking and feeling much more than most. More so, it is rather well known that some of the most creative, innovative people in history dealt with some form of mental shift. Maybe we all have this in us, the natural pull to attain personal enlightenment our own way, and when we are unable to pursue that personal journey, to cleanse and enlighten ourselves our own way because of environment, family, personal fear, or whatever, the negative symptoms of mental illness realize themselves.

It’s a very touchy subject that has impacted many peoples’ lives, and I personally find that those who have experienced it indirectly through someone close to them, have somewhat of an aversion to discussing and talking about it deeply due to fear of it possibly being in them. Our society has stigmatized it so much, and we’ve got to get past that. Again, it is idiopathic, which means that we don’t know the cause, and we fear that which we don’t understand. It is something I have the deepest compassion for and I hope you won’t take it as my rationalization, in case I’m just as crazy. Although, as a seeker of truth, I can’t rule that out

Whether it be a natural response to the decaying systems of our world that are disconnecting us from nature, or if it is the natural evolutionary process of our species to cleanse ourselves and reach a higher cognitive telepathic ability, this subject serves as one of the great debates of our times. Psychology and the mind is the final frontier. It will lead us to the depths of ourselves and the edge of the universe. Think about how you think.

I personally love smoothies and protein shakes. They give me almost everything my body needs. I get vitamins, anti-oxidants, and amino acids (whey protein concentrate and/or whey isolate protein), all of which are the key building blocks to growth, energy and vibrant health. Lol, add in a little metamucil and carbs, and I’m good to go.

However, this new way of eating would obviously take away one of life’s greatest pleasures, that of the taste experience. There’s really nothing better than eating a fresh piece of salmon or some creamy italian gelatto… it’s the texture variety mixed with the blend of tastes. Regardless, I have my juicer and I love my smoothies and  whey shakes. I could definitely see my diet moving more and more to liquid energy as the days go buy. Better for evolution? That’s for you to decide.
