The Blurred Line Between Normality and Pathology — a Philosophical Exploration
“We do not see things as they are. We see things as we are.” Talmud, Berakhot
“We do not see things as they are. We see things as we are,” said Rabbi Shemuel ben Nachmani, as was quoted in the Talmudic tractate Berakhot (55b.) In his famous novel “The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari,” Robin Sharma also said, “The human mind is the world´s largest filtering device. When used properly, it filters out what you perceive as unimportant and gives you only the information you are looking for at that time.”
But what happens when the filter is not used correctly or is distorted? Who determines whose filter is correct? Does the democratic criterion apply here, where the majority imposes on the minority? These are a series of questions that can affect the notion of normality and pathology, especially the boundary between the two concepts, emphasizing the subjectivity of perception.
Hello everyone, I am Gabriel Dulcu, clinical psychologist, member of the Romanian College of Psychologists, UK accredited hypnotherapist, graduate of the Past Life Regression Academy UK, member of the UK General Hypnotherapy Register, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) therapist for adults, member of the EMDR European Association, integrative psychotherapist in training. On a personal level I am a perpetual student of spirituality, esotericism, Ancient Wisdom, psychology, neuroscience and neuro-hacking, writer, publicist, editor and translator. Besides that, I have had a rich professional activity in Telecommunications, IT and computer design, being a former top manager in the field.
I am here to help you, if you need it, in solving those problems you are facing, that are weighing you down, to facilitate the use of your enormous potential and inner resources, to move forward in your journey, onto inner peace and harmony.
