Just a question here from someone who was never a Scientologist. Marty has just posted on his blog a post titled "The Psychosis of David Miscavige" where he does say DM is psychotic. I thought true blue Scilons didn't believe in psychological illnesses?
Is there some double-think going on here?
A mental/spiritual condition, as contrasted to "illness". There is extensive use of the term "psychosis" in Scn. Here are definitions listed from an older Technical Dictionary:
PSYCHOSIS,
1. the root word “psych” refers only to a being or soul and the
“osis” could loosely be defined as “the condition of.” (Cert, Vol. 13, No. 2)
2 .psychosis could be technically called an inability to be; so it naturally is an
inability to communicate because beingness is a problem in anchor points and
that’s a problem in communication . ( Spr Lect 9, 5303CM27)
3 . an inability to cope with the routine problems of the first and second dynamics . ( Spr Lect 9, 5303CM27)
4. psychosis is a complete inability to assign time and space. (Scn 8-80, p. 44)
5 . any major form of mental affliction or disease. (SOS, p. 25)
6 . a conflict of commands which seriously reduce the individual’s ability to solve his
problems in his environment to a point where he cannot adjust some vital phase of
his environmental needs. (DTOT, p. 58)
7 . the guy is just generally the effect of everything. (SH Spec 70, 6607C21)
8 . is simply an evil purpose. It means a definite obsessive desire to destroy. (ESTO No. 3, 7203C02 SO I)
