		<description>Subliminal Distraction is taught as part of college psychology. It is in lectures on psychophysics, the physiology of sight, subliminal sight, and peripheral vision reflexes. 

Acoustic subliminal distraction is studied as a fatiguing factor but visual SD is not generally recognized although both arise from the same facts of physiology. 

Cubicles have been used for forty years to prevent what is believed to be a harmless episode of confusion. No one has realized it is a problem of physiology not office workspace.

I suggest that rather than attack something you don&#039;t understand you follow the instructions to perform the demonstration of subliminal sight and habituation in peripheral vision. 

Have someone in psychology explain to you how the startle reflex is triggered. Anyone who claims expertise in psychology should have that information.</description>

		<description>Well I&#039;ve studied philosophy, psychology, Kundalini, and ti chi. Your confused and wrong.
If http://VisionAndPsychosis.Net accepted e-mails I might write a nietzschein response to his theory. It&#039;s called externalization.
Both the language and thought have serious flaws. You use technical terms from different schools of thought and different ideologies. Do you even have a degree in psych? your methodology lacks substance and I hope that this isn&#039;t part of your thesis or dissertation because it&#039;s not even up to par with H.S. psychology. I bet the person who has a problem with your behavior (game playing) thinks it&#039;s genius. I&#039;d like to try to tear that dribble you produce to shreds in any forum. Please prove me wrong!!! P.S. if your a educator I might be willing to travel and have the discussion in front of your class. Of course I&#039;d have the apa review the schools credentials because I believe it&#039;s nothing more than barnyard psychology and your excuse of why you can&#039;t. What&#039;s worse is someone might actually take it seriously.</description>

		<description>There are several therapies that seem to help with depression symptoms. Has it not occurred to anyone that a change in daily activities accompanies these psychotherapies? There is a current study on depression and drug therapy pointing out that drugs actually help only ten percent of those using them. Placebo’s help more people in some studies. 

The conclusion to be made is that there is something wrong with the chemical imbalance theory of depression and mental illness. 

Circumstantial evidence exists that a conflict of the physiology of sight is involved in depression. This problem was discovered when it caused mental breaks for office workers in the 1960’s. The cubicle was designed to deal with office exposure from Subliminal Distraction. 

It is not necessary to guess the outcome of SD exposure. Two exercises function to help users with mental health problems. Qi Gong and Kundalini Yoga both supply the elements necessary to cause exposure from Subliminal Distraction. Intense concentrated exposure creates a first psychotic episode. Low-level long-term exposure creates a fixed altered mental state with thought processing problems and delusional beliefs. Victims of this exercise exposure function normally except for the bizarre beliefs connected to their exercise use. Kundalini users often believe they can levitate, or walk through solid objects unharmed. Qi Gong masters sometimes believe they can cast Chee energy from their fingers to strike opponents in sparing matches. 

The negative mental outcomes of both exercises produce symptoms of depression, fear, and paranoia when too many group sessions are done in a short time frame. An incident of mass insanity on the Belgian Polar Expedition of 1898 shows that depression is an outcome of creating the “special circumstances” for exposure from Subliminal Distraction.

There is YouTube video of George Dillman performing a demonstration of throwing Chee energy. It is taken from a National Geographics Channel program “Is it Real.” You can link to that video from the VisionAndPsychosis.Net Qi Gong page. A video interview of the authors of the depression study, Fox TV 13 Tampa Bay, is linked from the VPN-Depression page. 

Qi Gong Psychotic reaction is in the DSM as a Culture Bound Syndrome but not the Awakening of Kundalini. The authors of the DSM do not know what causes the psychotic episodes. 

VisionAndPsychosis.Net is a psychology project about Subliminal Distraction.

		<description>Psychotherapy definitely helped me beat clinical depression. I tried CBT first, and some symptoms did improve somewhat. Then I went to a therapist who worked with me to identify the root causes of my depression, instead of focusing on alleviating symptoms, as the CBT counselor had done. This &quot;deeper&quot; approach worked for me, and fairly quickly I left depression behind. I would be very open to continuing monthly therapy if it would help prevent relapses. This just seems so much preferable to me than taking drugs for life. I hope insurance companies will support this approach and reimburse for these &quot;relapse prevention&quot; sessions.</description>
