Psychosis

I define "psychosis" non-clinically as the state of "not being in touch with reality". Since the state of "being in touch with reality" is a rarity for most people (I would say two standard deviations above the mean), "normal" is actually a type of psychosis.

Since we are raised in "psychosis" and are surrounded by "psychosis" we accept psychosis as normal, become psychotic ourselves and then project our psychosis on the the world creating a double layer of mass psychosis.

Using the word "psychosis" is a harsh and brutal judgment, however Reich's "emotional plague" and Fritz Perl's "mass psychosis" are real phenomena which must be looked at and explored unflinchingly and with even more than brutal honesty. Sometimes through our desire to be kind, sensitive and compassionate we can lose some of our honesty and some of our ability to question and find out.
