Mental Health (uncut)

Just a heads up because it's discussed in this post, I'm  a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of LDS or Mormon. I was emailing my friend on his mission, and during the process my creativity channels were opened and I received a lot of insights into mental health and other topics. It took a long time to write, and I'm winded, but I want to share it, so here it is. I'd say I might get around to revising it, but realistically I won't.

"I was thinking about something. I don't get sick, my mom doesn't get sick, my ESTP brother doesn't seem to get sick another ESTP guy I used to home teach said he doesn't get sick. Now, all of can get infected and sick or get diseases. You get sick easily and get allergies and so does your dad, but you personally, claim you aren't affected by anything, swearing, crudity, dark humor, etc. things that can be equated to mental germs, which cause mental sickness, poor health, and diseases. I think a person's type is genetic, considering it's basically the software-operating system, running inside of the brain, what else would it be; Resilence to germs and disease may be genetically greater for sensors; thus, sensors may be in part born resistentt to physical toxins while intuits may be resistent to mental diseases.  

I hypothesis we can compare the body to mind and say that the laws of physical health can be applied to the brain as well.
Laws of Health
1. Eat immune system strengthening  and cancer fighting foods which contain immune system and cancer fighting minerals vitamins and minerals. Vitamin c from Lemons, Limes, and oranges, vitamin A from carrots, vitamin E, K, Herbs and spices, orengano (Italian seasoning), etc.
2. Build up the immune system through gradual exposure to toxins. Pretty straight forward and explanatory. I would say using hand sanitizers, and washing hands and cleaning foods and touched surfaces too often hurts a person in the long run.
3. Exercise to release toxins from the body. It releases toxins through the pores and sweat. When overwhelmed with toxins, fat is stored and created in a body deal with the excess ive amount later to protect the body; to engulf and pacify toxins to the body such as chemicals, viruses, bacteria. When that fat is burned off the toxins should be burned off and exit the body throught the digestive track which the body can do now that it isn't overwhelmed with toxins to eliminate;  Also, the increased body temperature during exercise likely also helps kill harmful, viruses, bacteria, and microrganisms. This is probably another reason I like to take really hot baths so much. The high heat: first, kills the bacteria on the skin and surface of the body, then increases a person's internal body temperature killing germs on the inside, anf finally the high heat as well as the waters expands and loosens the pores to allow toxins and germs to exit into the water. So the water doesn't just deal with macro germs and dirtines (dirt and visible stains), but micro-germs and dirtiness.

So then the mental laws of good mental health are....

1. Strengthen the minds mental immune system with immune building and nutrious mental food. When thinking about what mental food is we have to understand how our minds work. First off, our minds are basically the embodiment of all the information we've taken in and how they are connected in the brain. So this makes the information itself the food and how it's connected is the digestion of the food. This concept that information, like nutrients, are the primarily source of nourishment for the brain that strengthens it. So, if the information is mental food, then it's we need to be careful about what we physically drawing from our environments as well as how we interpret it which is digestion. So what's healthy and opposingly unhealthy?

 Healthy mental food is, thoughts and ideas that are: positive, powerful, uplifting, motivating, and helpful etc. Imagination is the ability of man to see in his mind what is possible. If something is impossible, logically imposible, we can't even imagine it. A square circle can't even be imagined.

Here are some supporting examples for my hypthesis that exposure to information is literal food. There was this story I heard from a video with black and white pictures of the father and girl. The father kept the girl locked away inside away from other people with scarce and few interactions until she was around 10. When social services or someone, found her she couldn't talk, I'm certain of, or do basic things kids her age could do like walk, dress or feed herself, I believe.  Then, I'm pretty sure they, overtime, they were able to teach her these things; so, there you go; if a person does take in information: ideas, and thoughs, from the outside world, then there brain atrophies, and they become inept. Of course the properties and amounts needed are likely different than food and water. A person may be able to go longer without mental food and water than they can physical food, but as seen in people who develop alzheimers and other brain degenerate diseases in old age, the brain will suffer and break down, if a person ceases, to feed, nourish or exercise it. Social interaction seems to be an excellent way to feed and exercise the brain which is probably why I love and need it so much and frequently. I haven't looked anything up, but from what I can observe at all the churches I've been to as well what I know and have observed about the apostales, the development of alzheimers and other brain degenerative diseases is lower inside of the church than outside. There are plenty of super old high priests, bishops, stake presidents, and apostales their minds fail none of them. The information of the Gospel is very nourishing  studying it requires a lot of exercising, and system 2 thinking. So, there is inherent worth and value in the gospel afterall. It isn't simply about the reward in heaven to come. Living the gospel brings physical and mental health. 

The Gospel gives us not only a physical health code, but also a mental one. This is a personal gripe that I probably shouldn't have and need to work on. My gripe is when a general conference talk, general authority message, or anything said at church, is critical, chastizing, and negative. Because and when I'm hungry and starving for mental nourishment, it can at times hurt a lot of be lectured and scolded at the dinner table. Well, hmm, vegetables don't always taste good. Perhaps positive thoughts are sweet and tasty foods like are fruits, nuts, and honey, that are good for the body in only in only if you don't each too much. On the other hand negative critical thoughts are vegetables, perhaps some forms of beans, fungus, and meat. They're foods that don't taste good, but are good for you. Huh, so maybe there is such a thing as eaching to many vegetables. Vegetables are high in fiber, so perhaps if you eat too many vegetables, and too much fiber, then the body won't be able to digest it. The fiber and the negativity block out the positive and physical nutrients. Hmm, so positive thoughts and ideas are fuel; they are sugar. All food in the body is converted into glucose which is sugar; however, if a person eats too much sugar they'll get fat. If a person is never constructively critisized they'll get mentally fat. On the flip side, too much negativity can block and prevent the sugar from being digested

2.  Build up the immune system. So, gradual exposure to harmful mental food with toxins makes a person mentally stronger in the long-run. Going to public school probably actually makes a person mentally stronger while home schooling kids, or even possibly really strict private or charter schools probably makes them weaker.

3. Mental exercise, solving problems, using creatively to build or create something helps expunge toxins as well.

I'd add the pure knowledge, sensations and definitions of words, compare to proteins and carbohydrates which seem to be the foundation and staple of a healthy diet. The common analogy of "It's my meat and potatoes," seems to be based on what conventional wisdom has discovered through experience; that protein and carbohydrates are the bare minimum, essential nutrients of a diet. My nutrition class at school I'm taking confirms this. Alright, well that's about it. 

In summary and conclusion

All people should be aware of what information and intepretations come into their mind if they want to be mentally healthy. They need to monitor, sense data, thoughts, and any form of communication.This shall bring all ultimate happiness and glory."

Hmm, I'd like to add to my thoughts, that information with no redeeming value will feed the mind, but's it is analagous to empty calroies. Cotton candy is pure sugar. The sugar probably could sustain a person's life for a while, but it has no nutrients.

The World that never Was; Org. 13 Why I love the concept of them; Dystopic Sensual Daft Punk World

"Organisation Xiii's homeworld, that I'm sorely missing the civilians on the streets"
I actually think it being devoid of people fits the theme of the world. Nobodies are empty shells and it's a big, empty, lifeless world. The only creature inhabiting it are the undead heartless and empty shell nobodies. It's the perfect setting for the homeworld of villains. It one of my favorite worlds if not my favorite. The mystical feeling it gives off is hard to describe. It's sort like a the feeling despair and mystery combined, but that isn't accurate enough. It's like the feeling of a daft punk or Gorillaz song. It's very somber and comtemplative. If for no other reason I like Organization XIII for feeling and impression they distill in me. It isn't precise, and I wish I could think of a better term, but they can be described as Cyber Punk. The feeling is like a good uncanny feeling, it;s like if the uncanny valley was flipped. At a certain range of oddity and mysteriousness the feeling you get exponetially increases. I love the look of their black coat, the concept of nobodies, their world. It all ties together with the theme of emptiness. It's gives the symbolism of a person who's alive, but might as well be dead. Somewho who has emotionally died. Someone who hasn't truly feel good and alive in years. Someone with a void who uses drugs and pleasure to attempt to fill the void, but it only temporarily eases the pain. This person like the nobodies can feign emotion and life, but it's hollow as they feel nothing inside. A dsytopic world where human emotions and flaws bring shame and disapproval, so these nobodies" dehumanize. They eliminate their heart and function only off of their body and mind. They turn into a machine one of million. As there perfect name implies, they are now truly a nobody. It's poetic and beautiful to think about. It's sombering and meditative.

This dystopic, Brave New World, Daft punk, dehumanized type of world is the PEFECT fit as the antagonizing force for a game called Kingdom Hearts. Organization XIII is the perfect antagonist and anthesis of the ever jublinant and emotional Sora whom is full of life and humanity.
