The golfer analogy

On a green, a red flag planted in the hole and a white ball stopped on the rim. The character stands to the right, a tear on his cheek. Top left, the title « The golfer analogy »

I got to thinking that actually most schizos start out suspecting a neighbour, or someone fairly close to them.

The people behind the phenomenon the religions talk about are very, very good at understanding us and imitating us. And if you're in your flat and someone you don't know is talking about you, then obviously it has to be somewhere in the neighbourhood.

Except that most schizos, after a while, realise it can't be neighbours or people close to them (personally, thankfully, I never suspected the people close to me)

And so obviously, if a group is able to harass them like that, and for that long, then it has to be people with the means.

On the green, the white ball has stopped on the lip of the hole, against the red flag. Standing a little further back, in a flowery shirt and flip-flops, the character looks at it, a tear on his cheek.

And so obviously, after a while it takes on such a scale that most schizos end up accusing big organisations with the means, because it looks like an MK Ultra type of experiment, etc

Obviously the schizo, when he has a problem, like most people, goes looking for the answer on the internet

And that's why most schizos end up accusing the CIA/DARPA/HARP/the government/etc, because that's the highest they can think of (I admit I wrongly accused the DGSE at one point, oops)

It makes me think of a golf ball on a green that stays stuck right on the lip of the hole.

Schizos, almost enlightened, know full well that it exists and that it's on a huge scale. But they don't dare take the leap and accept the existence of the phenomenon the religions talk about

The same green: the ball has dropped into the hole, and a golden light is coming out of it. The character is jumping in the air, fists up, laughing.

The best thing to do to cure a schizo is for him to become enlightened, he has to hit a bit harder to go a bit further, and so accept the existence of the people behind the phenomenon the religions talk about

When it's like that, everything goes for the best, the people behind the phenomenon the religions talk about are going to challenge you, to make you doubt their goodness on a regular basis, but you just have to stop doubting, not blame them for your problems, etc

When it's like that, it's great, because the enlightened one knows he's dealing with the people behind the phenomenon the religions talk about, so no more need to overthink, he can get on with his life.

Bonus: they play jokes on me from time to time

On the green, a dotted line shows the ball bouncing over the hole and carrying on past it. The character, crestfallen, watches it go.

But careful not to go too far, by trying to understand things that are beyond us.

Otherwise the enlightened one very quickly turns into a tiresome schizo who starts talking about cosmic stuff, the different types of aliens and their names pulled out of a hat, quantum entanglement, quantum mechanics, etc, when he's never studied quantum mechanics in detail or seriously, and spends his days watching strange videos on youtube and sharing incomprehensible content on social media

Which is why it's worth taking stock regularly and not forgetting to use the Ouroboros tool. But if by accident your imagination starts to wander and you start picturing super advanced aliens, etc « Starfoullah » then « Ouroboros » and we move on to something else
