KINGSIX'S BETRAYAL
(c) 2001 by Ezekiel J. Krahlin
The following is the last Usenet comment ever made by former ally
"Kingsix". His sudden disassociation with me is a betrayal that cuts
deeply, since he coldly writes me off with label "schizophrenic",
after all the many months we privately corresponded as friends, and
supported each other in newsgroups, against harsh attacks. He has
never posted an apology. Now, I get even.(Watch out John Havrilchak;
you're next!) Nonetheless, Kingsix has a brilliant mind and the kind
of sterling leadership we so badly need in these trying times. That is
why I created a Kingsix Usenet Archive, which you should access after
reading this piece.

At times, what is labelled "schizophrenic" is actually nothing more
than a creative ability that attacks the status quo...ergo, society at
large prefers to define such a renegade as "mad". We have a long
history of artists/writers with difficult mental burdens/gifts:
depression, delusions, visions, etc. In fact, one of our greatest
statesmen, Winston Churchill, suffered terrible bouts of the blue
funk. And a talented artist from the past, as another example of one
who harnesses his "delusions" is: William Blake.
Then there are those who claim to be spiritually or psychically
gifted...who have actually a book or two published displaying their
beliefs. "Seth Speaks" and "Out On A Limb" are but two examples. Both
authors speak like me, in the sense they believe in the spirit world,
angels, guardians, and the like. Yet they are not attacked as
nutcases. (Although of course in some circles they *are; nor does this
mean I myself do not find their writings flaky and misguided in
certain ways...these are just examples I gave of the inarguable level
of respect they have, by virtue of being published. Also, there are
many *better examples I could give, than these two.)
Seems that, in our rigidly constructed Amerikan society (and to a
lesser extent, Kanadian), the only difference between a madman and an
expert, is to have one's ideas published. But until you get
published--or reknowned in some other way--you are to be regarded as
no more than a fleck of dirt, thus an object of constant villification
for speaking out with views that offend status quo sensibilities. If
you are not wealthy, you are nothing.
>Otherwise, Krahlin would not have associated

I never associated gay sensibilities with mental disabilities...except
to point out that Amerikan society at large (and to a lesser extent
Kanadian), still defines homosexuality as a perversion--a metal
disability if you will--a sickness much like pedophilia and rape: a
danger to our (hetero) society at large, that *must be condemned and
aggressively attacked (else it would get out of control and overrun
our fine, suburban green lawns with AIDS-tainted semen).
The logical outcome of this perception: DOMA: the defense of (hetero)
marriage. Which as much implies that gays are such a threat to
society, that the heteros need to take a stand by passing a federal
act across the continent. In essence, DOMA gives the green light to
open hunting season against all known/suspected gays: Mcarthyism with
a vengeance. The crucifixion of Matthew Shepard is but a prelude of
the coming onslaught.
But back to the issue of "mental disability". It is one thing to
regard someone as mentally disabled. But then, to use that perception
as an excuse to regard such a person as somehow inferior to one's
self, incapable of intelligent thought and dialogue, and not worthy of
mutual respect...says a lot more about the self-righteous critic, than
the one who is deemed disabled. So when I argue about schizophrenia
sometimes being an asset instead of a damage...I am at a complete
loss, if those who challenge me are not familiar with Carl Jung's
interpretations of schizophrenia, and the spiritual dimensions
implicit with such a condition. (As well as R.D. Laing and other
progressive thinkers in the field of psychology.) In fact,
schizophrenia can become a great creative gift, if one is willing to
walk the path it puts you on, and learn to befriend your archetypes,
while at the same time
preventing them from taking over the seat of your own ego.
Once this balance is achieved, these archetypal beings will assist you
with your life, guide you, and inspire you. In my case, they often
give me lovely dreams or visions...even funny and outrageous
ones...which I often then convert into fantasy tales, and future
prophecies. And my specialty is to focus this gift specifically as a
gay person, for our gay community...as well as to support other gays
who are so gifted...as a method of harnessing these abilities to
empower our besieged community.
I have made numerous predictions regarding worldwide gay revolution,
and political upheavals on a global scale as a result. I still believe
these shall pass...though I apparantly was premature in predicting
they'd start by the end of 1998. One of my visions showed me, an
attack of biological/chemical agents upon known gay
communities...including all of San Francisco...by fascist right
wingers. My guardians said the perpetrators would be untraceable...not
just because of clever deception, but because of the silent hetero
majority which begrudgingly *approves of any tactics that destroy gay
people...thus government will drag its feet on finding the suspects.
And this attack and betrayal will foment a much more aggressive
movement of gay rights...along with several other scenarios of a
dramatic nature.
The other aspect of associating homosexuality with mental
disability...is due to the excess stress of social torment put upon
homosexuals. This causes a higher amount of psychological instability,
than what heteros may suffer. It's just a simple truth: torture a
person long enough, and he is likely to finally crack up...some sooner
than others, depending on the constitution of each individual. I have
long ago, cracked up from this tremendous strain of hatred yoked on my
shoulders (at age 22; I am now 48)...and have found my own way through
this, with new-found pride. Many gays regarded as "normal" (w/o
so-called mental aberrations), often adapt by becoming alcoholics,
drug addicts, simpering assimilationists, or just depressedly
resigned. I, on the other hand, do not pollute my body with toxins,
nor do I quietly acquiesce to the will of hetero dogma, or emotional
gloom.
But just because those who have managed to adapt by holding down a
regular job--regardless of their continued
alcohol/drug/depression--are regarded as "sane"...when compared to one
who has no such addictions or ailments, yet does not hold down a job.
It seems the only criterion in Amerika, for judging one "sane" is
whether or not he holds down a job. Well, many, many people who work
for a living, are no more than robots, from cradle to grave. This may
be successful adapation to an oppressive regime, but certain can be no
measure of sanity!
To persist in labelling me as "mad" or "insane" or even "mentally
disabled", amid a society that is truly perverted due to its continued
murderous persecution of gay people...is not just laughable, it's
downright hypocritical. Those who regard me as mad, are using
society's own prejudiced values to measure against me...values which
have no heart, no sanity, and no respect for any individual, in the
first place. It is a measuring stick of no real value.
In light of this situation, to be called "mad" is a great honor...but
to be accepted, to be regarded as "sane" is a horrendous curse.
(Remember, you cannot be "sane" if you are not "hetero", for one.)
I end with this quote from "The New Steinerbooks Dictionary of the
Paranormal" by George Riland:
---begin quote
Laing, Ronald D. (1927- ). The Scottish psychiatrist,
psychoanalyst and mystic whose radical investigations of mental
illness have altered long-held views and practice in the approach and
treatment of what is often incorrectly designated insanity. After
intense research in hospitals, clinics, and actual home settings, and
the use of psychedelics (q.v.) as part of real social situations,
Laing has concluded that madness is the condition of society, not the
so-called mentally ill. Mental illness is frequently the only normal
sanity. For it is an effort to return to the true inner self, and to
the self's exploration of the cosmic universe, by way of a mystical
experience, the only experience that can provide human sanity. This
mystical revelation and the necessary return of the egoic self into
the social world is the only means to create the sanity and humaneness
for man's health and
survival.
