Neurogenesis - David Courtney - Bog

Neurogenesis develops new ideas on relating entropy to creativity, utilizing neuroplasticity and neurogenesis. Normalization lulls the mind into sub-critical mindsets and new brain is hard to access. The 100 billion neuron universe is portrayed as complex beyond scientific measure. What is needed is a new language that recognizes and respects flexibility and fluidity. All mental illnesses are in one way or another dissociative. Our typical socialization values 'normal' above all else. This results in de-personalisation and a lessening of intersubjectivity. Wolfgang Pauli and Carl Jung recognized the need to break down Normalization and evolve by confronting the unconscious. The repressed self may undergo an epiphany or transformation that 'blows the mind.' This happens when psychedelic drugs stir up plasticity making reconciliation with the unconscious the challenge of each psychedelic experiment. Entropy is recyclable and is seen as the archetypal force raising the phoenix from the ashes of the former self.
