Where Do I Go from Here ?

Edge of Insanity

Erica Hidvegi

This state of mind (instead of being) can be measured individually while reached by hundreds of thousands, annually. It can be the link to a forbidden zone where everything makes sense in a time of confusion, or everything is confusing in a time of reason.

Without any control gained or lacked, one can totally slide into the unconscious, raw and uninhibited, to reach for change or peaceful slumbers. But if either is denied during the course of occupancy in REM sleep, the results could be damaging to even the strongest of relationships.

A misleading paradise of not pleasure but escape, into madness by temptations to give up, that manipulate the positive and glorify the negative. For the lost souls here, it is a welcomed vacation. The cage of society is not strong enough to keep the true seeker, a non-conformist, held back. She or he breaks free and ravages its closest surroundings with malicious intent instead of love and compassion.

While hovering between sanity and insanity, dream-self and ego-self, thinking is diffused but not ceased completely; therefore the individual gripped by confusion and fear, can await numbness with minimal apprehension. A perfect innate ability rendered to our higher conscious levels only a transpersonal thinker might understand.

The edge of insanity is no more the pit of sanity when each is accepted as is by using our own and that of others' different world views to explain the origin of the terms. It is precisely the difference that makes the point. If only the DSMIV contributors and writers could understand re-defining that which negates could literally improve the current miscommunication overall. With this thought in mind, the 'edge of insanity' would not be such a scary place to end up at.
