Schizoid Polypath

Imagine paranoid schizophrenia evolving as Right-hemispheric totalitarian bipolarity living in a rabid stress-filled ecosystem of dismaying relationships with human nature over-populating systems; right-winged family and those other terrorist aliens. Now imagine paranoid behavior's function finds an entirely natural schizopathic response to an abusive marginalizing institutionalizing monocultural reaction against madness wildness discontinuous liberation of ego-identity explored within one eco-primal Othered. We used to call less paranoid, more manic, bipolarity Shamans and Prophets, witches and androgenous medicine [wu wei]men, wizards and saintly dry sages, wise old crones, messiahs and muses and wise womb/men, mystics and hermaphroditic hermits, awesome pot heads and opium worshipers. Now we call such mediums schizophrenic and really nothing more empathic, other than paranoid, of course. We fail to remember that economically disempowering paranoia is co-empathic intuition worthy of rational political merit if "they" really have decided you are merely insane, without any cultural or commercial value. Our purpose and perhaps even our sacred promise remain clouded in unknowing. For hyper-curious co-arising dipolarity, a constantly stressing threat of perpetual solitary confinement, deep listening in silent echoing silos of trauma's non-communication Ominously silent noise followed by angry frightened monotheistic voices screaming prophecies of AnthroSupremacist doom Reciting slender mythic HerStory memories of lost panentheistic potential.
