Theos-Talk Archives (April 2005 Message tt01658)

The article has a few things I don't particularly agree with. I don't
think it's a spiritual thing, for example. If you look up PNE
(Polyneuronal ectopy), you'll find that when someone has a combination
of Anxiety, depression, compulsions, and depersonalization disorders,
it's usually because of the hypersensitivity of the neurons in the
brain, and they diffuse ions more readily. (Making messages send
faster, but ultimately triggering parts of the brain like the
fight-or-flight response in the brain that's associated with panic
attacks).

I think the hypersensitivity enables people to easily process and
perceive information that's normally extremely difficult. I also think
practicing occultism strengthens/reinforces the condition, while
conversly the condition helps one practice occultism.

Does anyone know if any TS members or masters had any kind of nervous
conditions? I'd like to look more into this.
