[D-G] a close words to Nz and Jussi

Thu Jun 15 04:05:39 PDT 2006

Hello,
As I wrote already sveral times in this list, Deleuze and Guattari are
very difficult to read, even for well informed and sophisticated
intellectuals and academics.
Indeed I believe most of the readers did not understand all, this is because
a lot of sciences, especially natural sciences and a lot hidden things like
the quite
ununderstandable without guidance Lacan and more seldom read academic
literature are used.
In my eyes they try a lot - to make a scientific theory combinig psychology,
social sciences and natural sciences.
To make a ethic according to the 68movement combining Freud and Marx.
There are a lot more, but they are much more theoretic than I would have
expected, as Guattari was
a clinical psychatrist trained in the school of Lacan.

The second problem, which concerns your actual situation more is, that they
give very few hints what to do
if someone is really ill or schizophrenic.

And there I can tell you that beside any other things you do Yoga,
especially pranayama, that are
breathing techniquesis are very helpful without doing any harm.
This is because the very high intensities and the hallucinations in
schzophrenics are
produced by the projecting  - also the sense assimilating - parts of the
brain
Probably this part is feed more from other parts od the brain
like the cerebellum, who are more concerned with body sensations, than
usual.
Maybe there is also tried to make new associations in the brain to function
, which disturbs normal functioning like
building or reparing a street disturbs the normal traffic.

As the brain needs a lot of oxygen, good breathing, like it is teached by
Yoga with pranayama
helps to make the brain function very quick much better, giving a more free
feeling in the head, dimishing pains
by makijg thinking much more generous and make it more active, as the brain
is more active,
Actaully a quater of the oxygen consumed by a man is used by the brain. This
is without any or
beside the drugs you take and helps you to get better.
The best is you do a lot of pranayama and other yoga techniques to calm down
and become more healthy.
The effects are not suddeely, so continue as long as possible with
controlled breathing.
Also it is good to have as less social and other stimulies as possible, like
in nature.
Outdoors in the sun is a good place - also moving is good for getting a
better contact to your body and the normal reality and to exhaust a little.
To say it once more, schizophreny is from the brain and pranayama and yoga
makes the brain more healthy and better functioning without any drugs.
This  is to be taken very, very seroiusly and can't  be overestimated.
I hope, I helped you.

greetings Harald Wenk

Your writings are very interesting,

I (or that group of meolecules that conspires to call itself a "me") was
drawn to D-G by struggles working in psychiatry and fighting often
insurmountable problems of social alienation. I beacme interested in
Guattari's writings on creating different forms of subjectivity. It seems to
me that my consciousness/sprit/soul is riddled by adherences to a norm of
subjectivity and by a stubborn adherence to habit. Habits condense through
my whole being. Perhaps is it something to do with the ontology of forces
that certain types of forces which conspire to create subjectivity,
neccessarily interact in a repetitive fashion. The result of this is that I
feel much more an "effect" of some transcendent or organising principles
(perhaps the computational quality of the mind??) than open to immanence
(which is what I would like to feel, vibrating at a differnet intensity). I
feel a dangerous warning in my brief encounters with Wittgenstein that
language has evolved for social interaction and has more to do with
communicating human and social investments than obtaining objectivity on
nature and life. He may read much of Deleuze and Guattari as a delusional
attempt to fracture human subjectivity, which has coagulated after 6 billion
years of evolution on planet earth and is thus full of force we have little
hope of understanding. Now the hope of altered forms of subjectivity from
drugs has largely lead to dependence and apathy, where next to go? What are
D-G really trying to do? Escape from the cruelty of existence or even affirm
it? I don't think I understand or feel them. Where are they trying to go?
