I have a best friend who has been institutionalized three times in the last 20 years.
My intuition leads me to believe Johnny has ben facilitated by his bros/handlers. Boss is probably like...so long as he shows up and performs, we all have issues right? I'm suspect of the natty dread bro. I once had thick lovely flowing dreads down to my ass. Had to mod helmets to accommodate. I learned not everyone should take acid every weekend and eat hand fulls of shrooms days on end for years and not expect some side effects. My bad...
Drugs were to blame for his first episode...hallucinogens. Second episode...heroin. I was not part of that, even though I watched the spiral. We are all big boys right. And I will say, he is the ONLY person every that I have met/heard of that stabbed the spike and never had the desire to do it against once clean. Not a junkie....Just a space cadet.
Last third episode was about 6 years ago....no drugs. Always the same story though, few years with no problems. Stops taking the meds. A trigger, girl friend break up, kicks the mind into a spiral. Next thing he's mining his basement cause he's certain there is gold there. Oh shit Levi...Comical on the surface. I was his med proxy last episode, he was sure his parents had something to do with the situation, that was not real. The only reason he got help and is now solid is...some one treated him with respect as a human and lied to him (who ever he was at the moment) to get the job done. In his right mind he has thanked my wife and I who have been with him for the whole ride. He has told my wife if/when crazy goes down do what you gotta do, I'll thank you now and later.
Doctors don't know, they never really do, they just sedate with a high dose cocktail and start to pull some of the drugs back till they get a desired effect. That means, he can function within society. He is one of the smartest guys I know, just needs to stay on meds, or he starts talking way crazy...when it's too late, we have to go to the police and say he threatened our lives. They chat for a few moments then give him a ride to the hospital. Any one want some more...let me know.
Johnny is tapped.
The illusion of duality will allow us to make judgements. I believe what we think, good or bad, is based on the confines of our peri dime, cage (box)... I do prefer bubble or sphere.
Johnny... trees are good!
