Progress of Reality of Insanity the Second Coming: The Mind on Fire

By Ron McIntyre

The mind excited with blazes of fiery thoughts, flashes forth wonders of amazement far past the imaginable, somewhere in the far-out extremes beyond non-existence, somewhere God is frightened to wander around!
I have seen him tip-toe across the stars and stroll around in the sky like he owned them. And command the lightning where to strike!

His powers of wonderment cause hysterical raptures of ecstasy! He can transport a man’s mind from reality into oblivion. His frenzied mind teeters on the brink of infinity, his thinking is so complex he had to invent new words to explain them.
He can force the trumpets of the seventh heavenly plague to blast before their appointed time, and confuse the armies in heaven to where they do not know whose command to follow.

Lightning and voices and thunders exist only by his permission! He commands the powers in heaven, the angels fall at his feet, the sun no longer sheds light and the moon turns to blood and the stars fall from the sky.

Who is this; The Almighty, The Only-Begotten; or the Third in Command, no (though some think so), this is the author: Ron McIntyre!

Introduction

Creep into your grave, the universe has no need of you.

But have thought better; let him not go. Let us rob him of his Sanity!

The thoughts of Reality should flame in your heart and mind and conquer your will. The known desires of Insanity should flourish and empty your mind of its consciousness, and you should leap upon the wind and flash downhill, nothing should ever fear you. We have conquered you Insanity, you are nothing, sad disbelief of rejection, a fault among faults, the king of stupidity; we know where you exist, way out past any known human acceptance, where the howling winds of dismissal ignorance rule the intelligence, there men are beyond hope!

This is a book about The Reality of Insanity. Being Insane is the inspiration for my writing. Insanity is also madness, which is a condition of the mind that is racing tremendously. The thoughts flash, flame, blast, and blaze wildly through the mind, and produce something almost magical or something extremely exciting that borders on the edge of the impossible.

The book should smell of pines and soft blue-bonnets; it should tell of rhymes and fine true-sonnets; it should bring forth fires that might excite you to the brink of fear!

The sole purpose of this book is to entertain. There is nothing outstandingly philosophical presented here. It’s not my intention to persuade you religiously, socially, or sexually. Though much of the work deals with the differences between males and females. Females are the most exciting subject…however, writing about females is dangerous, because they think, feel, and exist on a different level than men. Their minds exist somewhere far out past the known and accepted reality. I will either glorify or anger them… most likely anger them!

And exaggerate where and as much as I can. We call it: Writer’s Liberty. Do not take any part of my work seriously!

Not one word, not one thought, should be accepted as being fractural, not one word, not one Syllable, nothing, nothing is meant to be truthful or honest…every thought and every word is meant humorous, and sarcastic…have labored my best to offend the most readers as possible. If you take anything, anything… being actual and offended you are to blame, you were warned!

This book has been written… only to entertain… used the most ridiculous, the most ignorable... no one wants plain, simple, and ordinary... a reader wants something to shock him… otherwise, he’ll close his book, close his mind, and go back to sleep. Took the ordinary and simple and worked best to make it outstanding…to make it alarming... when you read something I write… you will remember it for a long time, it might make you angry, and it might offend you, that... that makes it successful! If you are sensitive to... anything, you might not be a good subject for this book. Write to make the molehill seem like a mountain and ants like fanatical armed forces.

And will add – I am a Genius – I exist on an entirely different level than most others – and, am totally, and completely

Insane… that places me on a level you cannot contend with! Thus, when I think… I think completely different than you...and all others! My thoughts are far out past the known concepts of reality… which means, your mind… will be overwhelmed with wild excitement...your mind will flash with fiery thoughts as mine has…should you decide to read anything I write! Genius, Insanity, and Madness – the trinity of tremendous accomplishment!

Good literature can make rights wrong

And cloth the grass with grace

The birds will break out in song

And the mask will wrap the face

Any good piece of literature, like all other good entertainment, should strongly stir your emotions. If you attend a movie, walk away without feeling something… the movie has not been successful. Even making a person angry, a sign of accomplishment, your emotions were stirred. The book should… force your emotions into a state of wild Reality, beyond the help of The Almighty!

Listed my email address, you must read to locate it, so, when you are overcome with intense anger you can email me and tell me. But I don’t care! Because nothing matters!

Nothing vulgar, or overtly sexual, have absolutely no need for that. Good entertainment should stand on its merit without resorting to.... any distasteful parts of life. And try not to delve too deep into religious matters. Although… have dedicated a generous portion to the scriptures, the bible is the best book ever written and thus the best entertainment. And I do love God’s word with all my soul, if you are an avid bible reader, hope my use of the scriptures will meet your approval. Nothing presented doctrinal here... should you be attuned to scriptural matters, they are of the grandest worth, you should be overjoyed by the use of God’s name Jehovah. That is his name! And have found a deep and wondering fascination with 16th century English, the English used in the King James bible original version and used by Shakespeare. It’s a form of English with more color and deeper taste. Whereas modern English becomes flat and stale at times. And poetry has become the complete and overwhelming fascination of my soul, mind, and spirit, an abundance of poetry y presented here. Poetry is referred to as God’s Language – the language of the angels. And a generous portion of the bible itself poetry. Our great God was himself a poet! The first and the best, all others are imitators!

Not everything on the surface, much dedicated to deep thoughts and deep meaning, and some double meanings. Some things mental and philosophical are weaved throughout the paragraphs. So extremely shameful society has ceased reading and as have replaced books with screens; big-screen television and computer screens. Bashfully our children might read more than the parents. Ignorance…rules society…We turn to our children…for understanding simple terms or spelling everyday words.

Some persons are simpletons and cannot read three paragraphs without being confused. In that case… have your children read and explain to you. Don’t be too quick to give up, should have excelled past comic books.

My formula: Great flaming imagination, an intensely strong sense of humor, exciting sarcasm. With that, you can bring the gods to their knees – rolling around on the floor laughing!

My characters always use poor English, and double-negatives, and are always presented as idiots and fools. So, society can relate to them… Idiots and fools don’t read, only bright and brilliant people read, thus I used English from fools and idiots to entertain those bright and brilliant.

And some foolish people imagine, best stories not written in books, they don’t look for excitement, it scares them…Here is something that will excite you, something you will enjoy, it will meet your expectations…it will fill your life with great and raging pleasure.

The Progress of Insanity Realized… because we want it to…we make life happen…any other thoughts are worthless…Because the mind doesn’t care…This book is not like pearls cast before swine…there is much beauty visible, as we are prepared to appreciate…We cannot appreciate anything intellectual until our minds are hungry.

How prompt we satisfy wants in our flesh, but how slow to satisfy wants in the soul; the wants of the soul are satisfied through the affairs of our intellect… When are completely open, life will leap into our souls…You will never be left hungry.

All this you can have; all this you can read; can have all your wild fascination will give you. Greatest success… to perceive… things are wonderfully rewarding... You will never be intellectually hungry...

We read, walk, and talk, and climb mountains…for the rewards to our souls…because it’s there to be conquered…

We have an unusual impulse that makes us want to explain ourselves to other beings. That’s why we paint; that’s why we love someone – because a strong impulse force us on…to explain ourselves.

What great language we have only to describe simple Daylight. We need grandiose words to help others understand something extremely unusual, or strange, or something grand and unexplainable. Most of Shakespeare’s stories were simple, the words he chose captivated his audience. Even now, the intense fascination with his words attracts us. We always had the words, never could write them together and fascinate or entertain ourselves.

From our enormous reservoir of words, we attempt to explain the love in our hearts, we have not used those words to their fullness, we are not able to. Like chemical physicists using the power of atomic explosions only to boil water. That is the power of our dialogue.

Are stars, forests, and the sky, of such low significance, we don’t have adequate words to describe them? Are our thoughts, emotions, and feeling, too difficult to explain? Words are the most valuable possession man has. Yet many use only three or four words in a sentence. Deep and sad ignorance.

Few of us might describe the fire in our gut, for our mate. We have become simply minded, simpletons, void of anything of worth in our minds, hearts, or souls. Many men go through their days without laughing…that’s sad. Some stories here will make you laugh, even in your sleep.

If we didn’t have words…we would be very different than animals, wouldn’t know anything about our God…If we didn’t have His written Word…we wouldn’t know God’s name.

Use our words well, they paint our thoughts to the reader’s mind; that’s why they are readers, for us to entertain them. Some words – obscene and vulgar, will not be used… no matter what, good writing doesn’t need those words, only weak literature resorts to low words.

You tell a story, or relate an adventure, in some cases. your words become a poem. Much of the holy bible is prose poetry, and some stanza or verse poetry. Much delighted the editors of the 2013 edition of New World Translation converted some prose writing into stanza format. Brought more life into the words, brought thoughts together better, made better statements, closer to the deeper value of God’s holy bible, and closer to the manner God intended.

Stanza or Verse poetry – including song lyrics, and words strung together to form sounds, images, and thoughts that might be too complex or abstract to describe direct stanza poetry is written to tell the reader a direct point. Every line in a poem has its concept and serves a unique Stanza’s writing may be arranged according to rhyming patterns and cadence – the syllabic representation of thoughts using flowing words and can be free-flowing verse without a formal structure. Prose tells an adventure – usually a brief rendition. Novels (fiction) are ongoing story with dialogue, always in fiction, spoken words are set apart by quotation marks, rarely the case in non-fiction, or poetry.

Shakespeare’s stories always have murder, rape, and suicide. Poe’s stories were always horror stories. Virginia Woolfe’s stories were always about women, about love, and passion, and how men and women live together, you can always tell when she was bipolar high, her words blazed and were full of excitement, however, when she wasn’t bipolar high her stories were flat and boring. Women write about people, love, and passion, whereas men write about excitement, conquering and accomplishments.

Jesus Christ stories (parables) always demonstrated how men and women live together, they were all told for a principal, to make a point. Few men read Jesus’ parables, it takes humility to hunger for Jesus’ stories, which few men have.

This is a wonderful example of stanza poetry in the bible, taken from Psalms 107 (NWT1984E), in part.

He was collecting them together…

From the sunrise and the sunset,

From the North and the South…

There they were dwelling in darkness and deep shadow…

They were arriving at the gates of death…

Then He was providing them escape out of the pits…

They go up to the heavens, they go down to the bottoms…

Most of the Psalms are poems. Psalms 104 is a complete poem, all 35 verses. The word Psalms means songs and poems.

However, Prose looks like large blocks of words. Stanza Poetry, verse, and songs, typically reserved for artistically expressing something special.

Stanza poetry has a definite shape and structure. Most of poetry in this book is four stanza poetry with cadence and rhyming closing words. That is how most modern-day poetry is written.

Fiction (novels) is not prose poetry. Fiction tells a story... with noted dialogue… An ongoing story. The language of verse or stanza poetry tends to be more expressive or decorated, with comparisons, rhyme, and rhythm contributing to a different sound and feel. There may be one hundred non-fiction books for one good fiction. Fiction, good fiction, is difficult to write, it takes an unusual talent to write fiction. Stanza writing usually has figurative language and that written in separate lines that often have a repeated rhythm and sometimes rhyme.

Out of dust so built

The riches of life

The glories of wonder

This woman, my wife

As strong as thunder

Filling me with guilt

I hope your reading this work will be much enjoyed, and that is the case, recommend it to your friends, especially those that read. Word or two used that you’re not familiar with, use your dictionary, it’s a wonderful aid. And will say this: Too many are too serious about life, loosen up, relax, and find good humor in life. Those that laugh more live better and live longer!

Foreword

At times we had our arguments; about Shakespeare sometimes, about love and romance too; we often lost our tempers; had hard words at those times, but through it all, we were attracted by some odd, even strange admiration. I never talked about myself; I certainly didn’t talk about him, I did at times feel exalted, I believe knowing him led me to that feeling. And he had his opinions, at times painful for me to deal with. And we never talked about the two of us being together. We never had a single word that could be misunderstood about how we felt for each other.

Did girls ever fall for him, I must ask myself that, I do not remember a single girl following him around. He had his way of being silent when others were outspoken. Yet beneath this silence – I believe he was cool calm and collected, but I know his gut tore him apart quite frequently. He was responsible for the depth and the seriousness of his thoughts, for his emotional powers, and his qualities of speech that seemed to exalt him over me at times. Felt great pride in knowing him as much as him knowing me.

He claimed he was present at the birth of light, at the beginning of time. That he was the bloom of all eternal life. Well, I don’t know, perhaps you are reading a little too much fantasy, or dreaming too much. We did argue as to which plagiarized the other. It offended me greatly when I thought he was using my work. Thought, here we are, the two of us men together as one man.

It was difficult at first for me to understand him. He did have a way of prying into my affairs. He meddled, I told him to meddle in the affairs in the heavens, stay away from me. Don’t know if my lectures made any difference or not it never seemed that anything changed.

It was the two of us in one that became the writer I am.

The INTRODUCTION is to introduce. If you do not catch your audience’s attention within the first sentence or so, then you have lost them. They might close the book. So your first few words or first thoughts must be catchy. Have worked my best to place catchy words, or interesting thoughts at the beginning of each chapter.

This FORWARD is written to connect the writers to the readers. To give some fore gleam of what lay ahead. This is a statement of how we feel about being two persons in one, about how we can think and decide between Us for Me. From our confusion, I ceased to want to be Me without being He at the same time. How can I describe the excitement in Us that wants so badly to come out in Me?

A PREAMBLE is an introduction, explains the reason for the book. It gives some background reasons for understanding the writing.

The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS is to give credit where credit is due. And not talking about who you might think is the real Me or the other Me. From this point on, will address myself only as Me or I, and I will leave off trying to engage two souls into one body or one thought from two minds. Whatever you think you want might be what you get, but We promise nothing.

Have come to know him well, even at the expense of being credited with a view or a statement that probably I would not have chosen. Nonetheless, I do respect his thoughts. At times he is braggadocio even haughty. But I don’t take that personally. He has his rights, and I have mine.

You have the honor of knowing the two greatest men in the world together in me.

  Is our life together well enough that we should hurry out of it?

And do you hold enough reality in your grip, you can pass some on to the rest of us?

Let us dig and learn, and get, and have. Let us move mountains!

We hope the reading of this book might help you move a mountain of thoughts. Words and thoughts have that much power.

About The Author

Do You Think Me a Mad Man? Well, That I Am!

Here’s to the crazy ones…the misfits…the rebels…the troublemakers…the ones that see things differently… The ones that do things differently…those that hate rules…those that make their own rules…

You can quote them…shun them…they always do things different…they are the leaders in Society… You can glorify them…or you can repel them…they don’t care…they are always unpredictable… The only thing you cannot do is ignore them…They push humans forward… They make things happen!

While most see them as crazy, others see them as the leaders of the world. They are the Genius of our Day. Are always labeled crazy, and they don’t care what others think. While some see them as fools and idiots, history proves them out as leaders and giants.

In our hunger for the ecstasy of greatness, our only response is excitement and fascination. Man will always follow the Great Leaders - Humanity’s Highest Achievers and Deepest Thinkers.

Our author was born in the time when men were always confused, the only way to achieve greatness was to bow to others or roll around in the mud of stupidity; when love sings the songs of gods, heaven will smile with her sweet harmonies.

Our author was born 26 March 1951. He has a twin brother, fraternal, and a sister and brother twins, also fraternal. A living older sister and brother lost in his teens. It is believed genius is born of pain; Nietzsche wrote that pain and pleasure overlap and creative genius.

In the surging swell

Where trembling’s found

In perfumed smells

Where wonders abound

In the world’s soft breathing

Whispering around

To drown this – drown the sound

Then all treasures gone – delight alone!

Genius is the poets; they are the world’s shakers, wonder makers, and lawbreakers. Do you know these persons? Edgar Allen Poe; Virginia Woolf; Ralph Waldo Emerson; Henry David Thoreau; Mark Twain; Emily Dickerson; William Blake and Walt Whitman? These were geniuses… they were artisans… they were writers… and they were poets… They all lived in the 1800s. Also were considered insane or full of madness, and all were non-conformists. Ludwig Van Beethoven and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart were genius musicians. There is much more genius, however, this writing is confined to writer genius.

All these lives were most unusual. Emerson’s first wife, Ellen, was 17 when they wed. Died at 19 from TB. Thoreau never wed, was a hermit, lived on few dollars a year. Poe married cousin in, Virginia, age 13. Had been a compulsive gambler, was tremendously in debt. Emerson gave eulogy for Abraham Lincoln. Emily Dickerson officed a suicide, was disowned by family for extreme behavior, had lesbian affair, was ‘isolated and eccentric’ (bizarre). Mark Twain earned a ‘great deal’ money, lost all on wild adventures ventures, filed for bankruptcy. Walt Whitman, described as obscene for its overt sensuality. Was presumed homosexual.

The most common genius trait are insanity, madness, and suicide. Mad Genius. Madness rides on the heels of suicide, our author rides the wings of the wind. He has published six successful books, six popular songs, and two books of poems. Most genius writers were bipolar and most institutionalized. However, the term ‘bipolar’ is common, these individuals would have been termed bipolar, by today’s standards; the bipolar term was not used in the 1800s, nor was manic depression – which is bipolar.

Back around the turn of the 1900’s mental institutions were common in this country. Because plentitude individuals were extremely dangerous, some were murders and rapists, they were institutionalized to protect society. One doctor examined epileptics, those that experienced seizures did not have mental problems; no one experienced mania, and none were deeply depressed. So, our doctor concluded seizures prevented mental deliquesces. About the same time a pig farmer, noticed he had pigs that displayed manic-type behavior… He had electrical fences to prevent his pigs from escaping, which was common. He noticed that his manic pigs in their mad confusion would force themselves against the electric fence and the electrical force would create seizures in his pigs, then the pigs were calm. Somehow these two pieces of observation collided, and someone thought of using electrical shots into the brain to cause seizures to help with mental problems. Electro-shock treatment began and was common until the early 1970s when Prozac was discovered. From Prozac came various anti-depressants, which replaced electro-shock. However, Prozac did not conquer all mental problems, so electro-shock treatment was resurrected and is common today. Someone proposed to Congress add Prozac and Lithium into the water supply.

Our Author is bipolar, a madman, disowned by family; has consumed unnumbered antipsychotic meds; had his brain shocked with electricity, and writes Poetry! It doesn’t get any better!

Preamble

Insanity, Suicide, Genius, and Madness – Combination for Unexplainable Accomplishments! The Mind on Fire!

Genius. Merriam Webster: Extraordinary Intellectual Power as Manifested in Creative Activity. A Person Endowed with Transcendent Mental Superiority, having an Unusual and Very High IQ.

Transcendent: Exceeding usual limits; Surpassing.

IQ (Intelligence Quotient): a score determined by one’s performance on a subject. Technically, an IQ over 200 can be a Genius. Definitively, an IQ over 250. IQ is determined by how Quick a person can solve a matter.

Immediate Unexplainable Realization. Considering a person genius because they have enormous knowledge is unfair to real Genius. If having unfathomable knowledge was the sole quality, we could grow Genius in our schools. Genius is a quality people are born with.

A savant, for example, a person with definite mental disadvantages, can hardly communicate, but some can hear a complicated piano piece and then sit down and play it. This is a quality beyond explanation. Are they Genius? Technically, by definition, they are. When the mind is tremendously disadvantaged, as being blind, for example, the mind compensates by enlarging tremendously other mental abilities. The savant is significantly disadvantaged in some ways, but his mind compensates in other ways. When a person goes blind, his hearing, sense of smell, and touch are exceedingly intensified.

Genius does not say: Everyone watch, I’m going to accomplish something that will Dazzle and Fascinate you. Genius is not built that way. They do not know or realize they have superior qualities. They do not realize they are different. Did you see the movie Rain Man? Dustin Hoffman played the part of a savant, he could hardly communicate, and his reasoning ability was greatly hampered, but he could count things at only a glance. He counted cards while playing 21 at a casino, and nearly put the casino out of business. Often, Genius is connected to numbers, one way or another.

Genius: Immediate Realization. Mozart never had music classes, but he composed complete symphony pieces as a young child, age five. He heard the music in his mind and then wrote it on the score. At seventeen, he composed complicated symphonies, concertos, and operas; his acclaim was never rivaled, but he grew bored with his accomplishments and became involved in meaningless and trivial endeavors. He composed over 600 pieces but died at 35, much due to his boredom. A profound genius minds! Beethoven composed much of his work after going completely deaf. Like Mozart, he heard the music in his mind and then wrote it to paper. Genius: mental qualities and accomplishments beyond human understanding or explanation. Both these men were overwhelmed with female sexualness.

Albert Einstein. The full epitome of Genius. He understood mathematical matters far ahead of his contemporaries. He proved, by numbers alone, the theory of Reactivity. He understood, again by numbers alone, such fascinations as the bending of light by gravitational forces. Genius is nearly Always associated with numbers.

Vincent Van Gogh: A tortured genius artist. He was famous for cutting off his ear in a mental derangement fit, but he painted what many claims was the most astounding and significant paintings of all time. He never sold one painting in his lifetime, but today his paintings sell for millions; each is considered priceless collectible. He had epilepsy, mania, and schizophrenia. In one year alone, he painted over 200 great artistic works, then, at 37, committed suicide.

Edgar Allen Poe: Considered one of the all-time most outstanding writers. Abandoned by his father, his mother died when he was three, and he turned to drugs and alcohol, and died at age 40. Earlier, he attempted suicide because of his self-diagnosed Madness and insaneness. He was bipolar. His stories and poetry are unrivaled.

Shakespeare: The world’s greatest playwright and dramatist in all history. Died at age 52 after an extremely rowdy night on the town. His acclaim needs no explanation. His Mind was on Fire!

The phenomenal comedian Robin Williams was bipolar. His life existed in a state of bipolar raging ecstasy, and when he committed suicide, he was in a depressed state of mind as far below the zero line as he had lived above the zero line. What would the world be like if we had never experienced Robin William’s bipolar ecstasy! Empty! During his last days, he was overcome with deep paranoia. A devilish, emotional, traumatic experience – of the extreme.

The list of bipolar giants goes on and on. Their Minds were on Fire! Wish I could relate more people’s experiences, but this is not the place, time, or reason.

Jesus the Christ. He was never grouped with Genius. And rightly. He was a prophet, miracle worker, self-acclaimed, and well believed Son of God. The most famous figure in all history. He died at age 33. His contemporaries rejected him; his family didn’t accept him as God’s Son until after his death. This most interesting: no one that knew him before his ministry accepted him as God’s Son, Oh, who, that man, he can’t be the Messiah, he was only the son of a carpenter. Jesus said a prophet is not accepted in his own town or territory... That principle lives and flourishes today. Oh, no... he can’t write a book... he was only a common person... Most of these people were not acknowledged for their greatness until after their death.

The common traits of Genius: strong inclination towards suicide, madness, and wild irrational anger. They were rejected by all, believed to be only troublemaker, isolated and hermetic. Yet, they had qualities unexplainable. And all had close ties with religious matters and strong connections with phenomenal works of numbers!

Joan of Arc, nicknamed, The maid of Orleans, was considered a heroine of France for her role during the Lancastrian phase of the Hundred Years’ War, was histories first acknowledged powerful woman, a military leader, attacked for wearing men’s clothes, called a witch, and burned at the stake all by the age of 19! Over 400 years later, was canonized as a Saint!

Plato: well-acknowledged writer and philosopher and was also a numbers genius. Socrates, a close follower of Plato, also acknowledged philosopher and writer and numbers genius, and was a suicide! Many genius people were suicides.

Our Creator and Almighty God was and still is a numbers person! Three and a half, seven, ten, twelve, and forty are parts of His existence from beginning till the end—everything he did, all the bibles’ stories, centered around one of those numbers!

Ralph Waldo Emerson: if you have never read any of his works, strongly recommend you should. He entered Harvard at age 14 and graduated at age 18; although he graduated in the middle of his class, he probably was bored; that place did not challenge him. But his works are unprecedented. He had such a masterful command of the English language, his poetry is unsurpassed, and his thoughts are far beyond his time. He was a religious minister in his early years, and a novel numerical genius.

Most bipolar people, their lives, their accomplishments are far beyond understanding, or at least some are. Ted Turner is bipolar; in his Genius, he created the Turner Empire but was fired from the corporate staff for unacceptable and challenging behavior. Virginia Woolf, by today’s definition, was bipolar. Her works of literature are unsurpassed; in a period of mania, she ended her life at age 57. U-Haul’s original owner and creator was bipolar; he created U-Haul when everyone thought it would fail, then he turned it into a national name. His family... his children, took him to court to have him declared insane and removed from running the business... why, his too unconventional ways. The stories of bipolar accomplishments and disasters are almost unlimited.

Bipolar mania is what history has referred to as Madness! To do bipolar justice, it would take innumerable pages. There are many well-certified books on the subject already.

This author is bipolar and schizophrenic, which means also psycho-affective. Some great people were also with this affliction, which I don’t like referring to it as an affliction, nor do I like the term Mental Illness; for a large percentage of my brothers and sisters, this supposed ‘illness’ works out to be a blessing, not a disadvantaged illness. Perhaps, if you read any of this book, your view of ‘mental illness might be changed to ‘mental awareness’ or something similar – ‘mental advantage’!

All these well-known people are, or were, bipolar: Carrier Fisher, Mariah Carey, Bebe Rexha, Mel Gibson, Demi Lovato, Russell Brand, Brian Wilson (originator of The Beach Boys), Kurt Cobain (suicide by shot-gun), Jimi Hendrix, Ernest Hemingway, Ted Turner, Catherine Zeta-Jones (Michael Douglas’ Wife), Vivien Leigh, Frank Sinatra, Sinead O’Connor, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Jane Pauley, Brittany Spears, Patty Duke, Marilyn Monroe, Winston Churchill and, of course, Robin Williams. Many others are bipolar but not correctly diagnosed.

Someone once recommended to Congress to add both Prozac and Lithium to the common water supply! Over 45 thousand lives in America are lost every year to suicide! Shocking! People of all ages. Think about all the great artisans lost to suicide every year! Think about all the phenomenal paintings, all the masterpiece music, all the sensational works of writing, poetry, fiction, and non-fiction, lost without their chance! Astonishing accomplishments society will never know.

We want those Minds on Fire! We need those Minds on Fire! Otherwise, our world would be boring and sedate with calmness, we would never again have great masterpieces of the Arts!

Greatest Man, I’ve Ever Known

My Fullest Inspiration

And my deepest thanks, my sincere acknowledgments, for all the great male and female writers, those that wrote the most astonishing literature, the great literature that inspired my thoughts, those men and women are no longer live with our society, however, their profound literature lives in my heart. Their words, their thoughts, existed on a level few can comprehend. Most lived in the eighteen hundreds: George Eliot, Mark Twain, T.C. Eliot, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Virginia Woolfe, Charles Dickens, Emily Dickerson, Henry David Thoreau, Edgar Allen Poe, Walt Whitman, Friedrich Nietzsche, William Blake, and William Wordsworth; also, from the sixteen hundreds: John Mitchell, and William Shakespeare. These writers wrote non-fiction, and poetry, great minds write poetry; I have read everything they wrote. Their writing moved me deeply and inspired my literature.

CHAPTER ONE

Biblical Couples

The ladies in our Lives

Our greatest worries and Treasures

Within our soul, she Thrives

Our greatest joys and Pleasures

She was heaven while we sought her, she was hell when we caught her, she was worry while we touched her, and glory when we needed her; she lead us up into the extremely wildlife in the clouds, and we felt the strength of the stars; we met with the clowns of the devil; for a brief moment pure ecstasy was ours; the unexplainable richness of lovemaking briefed itself across our deeply poor lives, as if we alone had enjoyed this experience, no other being has known what we only now have experienced. And she is the full and ultimate reason. Her secrets are much, but by no archangels’ wings was she touched; there were no demons, there were only angels. And she is such. She brought life to us; life so full of what we hoped. She brought fire from the sky, the thunderous strikes of lightning, a chain of the heaven’s armies of eternalness; with her footsteps came the wonders of the night, with her fingertips the fascinating abundance of joy. From her smile, a smile ever so bright came the makings of men’s delight. The world is thus thrown before her footsteps. We are fascinated with her every thought and action. And with full boldness, we swept her feet out from under her. Her secrets are never forgotten; she is our foreverness; she is our whole soul. We are her star, we that shall never be away too far; since she is our voyeur, all things are for her. And all things are by her. And Amen!

The reality is stranger than the imagined, more excellent than the elusive, more real than the foolish expectations, and the shameless realizations. All today’s haunt the mind, all yesterday’s haunt the grave, and all tomorrow’s haunt the imagination. There is no reality; there are no fulfilled dreams; there are no evil eyes, no saintly wishes, and no divineness of tomorrow’s Heavenly home. There are no reasons for beauty; there are no perceptions of worth; there are moments filled with sparkling and fancied wonders; they come from the silence.

Lo and behold! Where she steps, the ground turns to gold. And all life’s stories are yet untold!
