Mental Health: Ideological Set as point for confusion

Cultural awareness and respect of identity is such a PC buzz-practice that often we miss the significance of ideological sets.

Often, we are set upon right and wrong, of the method that supports individual assertion of rights that we miss the significance of that by which we are able to know of such systems of meaning, and often to our detrimental health.

This is to say, often enough, this post is automatically taken to mean that I am arguing a point against something about my subject that is incorrect, that I am posing a solution to a problem, that I am suggesting that something needs be corrected even by the use of the term ideology.

In this way, ideology is a signal that a modern subject needs to be in a certain mode of argumentation as this mode is equated with one’s Being.

This is so much that case, that even as a write something simple, the simplicity is routed into a method of meaning where one begins to look for the definition of ideology, rely upon a definition, compare the definitions, and assert a new definition of the contest. By this method the person regularly and completely misses the point of ideology as a point of intention and becomes involved with a practice of confusion for the sake of their own intact knowledge, so that they never come upon the ideology by which they are knowing they are supposed to behave in such a way.

It is inherently confusing. An ideological set taken as a being to adhere to is a kind of suppression of innate human ability. If one is unaware of the difference, problems arise in lived experience.

If we are to move forward as progress in health demands, then it requires those who indeed think to release themselves from the ethics of critique by noting the automatic reaction to rebut and defend.

About this blog

Essays in mental health philosophy—less “tips,” more why things work (or don’t). I look at the first principles under therapy, psychiatry, psychology, and everyday life, and occasionally share notes from papers and books-in-progress.

This space stands alongside—not inside—my counseling practice. If you’re seeking therapy in Colorado, there’s a link in the footer.
