Thank you Microsoft for giving me This Picture for my "TitlePage Image"

In this book, I have said I would take you on a journey. I must clarify my statement; I will take you only as far as you can understand. For you to understand you must first think of me as say, the conductor on this train (of thought) and that for you to follow the story you must first try to understand from a schizophrenic’s view. You must accept the delusions and illusions as fact for you to follow the whole course of the journey. Only then does any of it make sense. 

The reason (I believe) is because the way a schizophrenic’s

thoughts work can be best described as such; “…because there is a chemical called serotonin in the brain that helps thought jump from one thought to the next, and because this chemical is out of balance in the mind of a schizophrenic; the thoughts do not connect properly and they become distorted.” 

My friend said she understood it best when I described it like this. “If thoughts are derived in cells then when the thoughts jump from one cell to the next (and because the serotonin is out of balance) then when the thought tries to jump from one cell to the next logical thought that thought will jump to a different thought than the one that would logically follow. The result being the second thought does not jive with the previous thought giving the mind to misinterpret any given message. 

I have seen a scan of a “normal” human brain compared to one of a schizophrenic. In the normal brain, there is usually one area of the brain lit-up indicating brain activity. While in the mind of a schizophrenic, one finds throughout the brain erratic activity is seen and there are areas lit-up throughout the entire brain. 

I liken it to a Christmas tree all lit-up with blinking lights. In a “normal brain”, the lights would light-up in a pattern, while in my mind one would see the lights blinking erratically throughout the entire brain. 

These two excerpts from my latest version sum up why Microsoft was willing to let me use this picture of a train in a terminal! I would like my readers, readers of both my book and my blog to understand Schizophenia, how our thought become distorted, furthermore, "Attention all passengers, this train is leaving for destinations undisclosed as of yet; "Just nevermind!" When you get there you will understand!" My blog is one destination, another might be a "NewJob"

“Developed to: -help rid the hurdles; (the mentally handicapped, displaced workers, and returning Veteran) people experience as a result of their malady. To Cut-Out their Gordian knot, by cutting out the

‘Obstacles of their oppression’.”

Statement of Purpose

   Our purpose can be summed-up in one phrase; we help remove the obstacles in the lives of those oppressed. By oppressed we mean individuals who; because of family, community or by some physical, mental, or situational malady, or the State become restricted in the pursuit of a good and fruitful life.”

 This organization is not just being built for those individuals who suffer from a mental illness; but, also the families and community they reside in. And for anyone experiencing difficulty piecing a life together, including Veterans, or displaced workers.  

We are not here simply for financial assistance; but for family intervention (to aid families having difficulties with a patient so they will learn to achieve a better life than they are currently experiencing.) We offer intervention in court issues; local State, and Federal level. Ideally we would that people have a strong knowledge base, a divergent Network of people connected for this one purpose, “To remove any Gordian knot; (any almost inextricable barrier) that keeps them from having a meaningful, Productive life.”
