"The Metaphysics of Quality suggests that in addition to the customary solutions to insanity - conform to cultural patterns or stay locked up - there is another one. This solution is to dissolve all static patterns, both sane and insane, and find the base of reality, Dynamic Quality, that is independent of all of them. The Metaphysics of Quality says that it is immoral for sane people to force cultural conformity by suppressing the Dynamic drives that produce insanity. Such suppression is a lower form of evolution trying to devour a higher one. Static social and intellectual patterns are only an intermediate level of evolution. They are good servants of the process of life but if allowed to turn into masters they destroy it."
"The Metaphysics of Quality says that what sometimes accidentally occurs in an insane asylum but occurs deliberately in a mystic retreat is a natural human process called dhyana in Sanskrit. In our culture dhyana is ambiguously called “meditation.” Just as mystics traditionally seek monasteries and ashrams and hermitages as retreats into isolation and silence, so are the insane treaded by isolation in places of relative calm and austerity and silence. Sometimes, as a result of this monastic retreat into silence and isolation the patient arrives at a state Karl Menninger has described as “better than cured.” He is actually in better condition than he was before the insanity started. Phædrus guessed that in many of these “accidental” cases, the patient had learned by himself not to cling to any static pattern of ideas - cultural, private or any other."
Potential Plot for Ghostbusters III
The movie would obviously depend on the execution, but what a great idea.
