Alan Watts: "Anytime you voluntarily let up control, in other words cease to cling to yourself, you have an access of power. Because you're wasting energy all the time in self defense, trying to manage things, trying to force things to conform to your will. The moment you stop doing that, that wasted energy is available. And therefore you are in that sense, having that energy available, you are one with the divine principle, you have the energy! When you are trying however to act as if you are god, that is to say you don’t trust anybody, you are the dictator, you have to keep everybody in line, you lose the divine energy. Because what you are doing is simply defending yourself.

how can a man be wrong and right at the same time - that is how I see Allan Watts.
personally I think he uses too many words in his sentences and too many sentences on a page and too many books altogether.

That was my eventual opinion of Swedenborg; The guy sure knew how to stretch an idea out to book-length.

He came from that beat generation where there was an entrepreneurial spirit, some degree of ambition to make money. America + Britain + Academia + [need money for booze and drugs] = Alan Watts.
I was in University for a couple years and had to read a Charles Dickens book. I was negatively amazed by how many words he used to describe the most basic thing. It was like nothing was happening, but the density of words was beyond anything I had ever seen before, and I didn't like it at all.
I did some research on Dickens to figure out why I disliked the density of the language, and lo and behold, I found out Dickens was paid commission for the diversity/quantity of words. The more words he used, the more he got paid. Money obviously corrupts the purity / clarity / fairness of communication. Dickens later, reportedly, had put his first wife into an asylum so he could start fresh with a new mistress.

I'm really upset by some family members who tried to get me involuntary committed. They used the police and psychiatrists in an effort to try and take my apartment, my cat, my life from me. I threatened legal aid and managed to make it back from the psyche ward to my apartment. Who knows if the cops are going to show up again. If it happens again, I'm just going to have to get better at threatening to use a lawyer. No more trips to the psyche ward for me. I'll be standing before the judge before I take another trip in the ambulance. And the government psychiatrists and therapists are not helpful at all. I don't know how someone can spend their life spying on another adult and trying to force someone to live a certain way. Some of my latest music:

Psyche Wards are an excuse to milk Social Security, imo.

The professionals who get paid top dollar to run the psyche wards are paid tax payer money, and what do they do with their time at work? Where do they derive their life's meaning? Their profession entails intruding, trampling and exploiting the perceived errors of people like C.D.

Here's PKD speaking about something relevant to psyche wards, professionals paid with money collected by government:

Here they're pre-emptive strikes to get one on medication and doctor visits, arguably unnecessary yet catering to demand.

Here is some origin music, music mixed with origins, some originals passing by, passing over, passing through.

So that's what all this is really about. Sorry for your troubles. Only advice I can offer is obvious, but not pleasant, & you already know it, so really its just encouragement: (If it can happen once , possibly it could again), so prepare ahead, like you said, finding a lawyer you trust ahead of time.... ie. now
