Schizophrenia was mentioned in our inspirational reading this morning:
"In Western culture we are taught to understand ourselves and our world by comparison, contrast, dualism, and similarity. It is difficult for us to even imagine that he way other people think and the thinking processes themselves differ from our own.
Imagine the shock of discovering that the majority of people in the world do not use the same thinking processes we do! In fact, in some circles, the use of comparison, contrast, dualism and similar forms of thinking are linked with schizophrenia and addictive thinking processes."
Anne Wilson Schaef, Native Wisdom for White Minds, Ballantine: 1995.
