Examples of Visual Connection Mapping logging the drawings

Visual Connection Mapping Drawing 135 and Visual connection mapping drawing 133

Visual Connection Mapping also applied a primitive but efficient data log of the drawings in order to keep track of the amount of drawings, and also to keep a basic record of the clients. For example, these two drawings are actual visual connection mapping units. On the right of each corner is a number, the unit number is to document the drawings – not the contents of the conversation. The above Vick drawings display a tiny tag stating the number 135 and 133. The series of drawings started at 1 and moved upwards.

Another way of logging the Vick drawings (Vick drawings means visual connection mapping drawings) was to attempt to keep a record of how many times I would speak with a client. For example, Vick drawing 133 has a pink number tag stating number 25. That means that I had the same individual twenty five times.

Another layer of recording the data of Vick drawings was the detail number, see 4/4 on the bottom right corner of Vick drawing 135 and 2/4 on the bottom of Vick drawing 133. These two details mean that that was the number of drawings I did in that session on the Wednesday morning at Our Place Society, on Pandora in the City of Victoria, Vancouver Island BC Canada.

The logging of data of the Vick drawings kept in the privacy and the confidentiality of the conversation.

 

Conversation starts to rise

Visual Connection Mapping is intended to convey the feeling that the individual who is talking has been listened to. Over time structures and patterns in the conversation start to rise. These developments can lead to making connections to seemingly random topics. Sometimes these random topics seem to lead to logic and clarity. The conversation gets turned into a verbal personalized story which turns into circles, triangles and squares. These circles, triangles and squares are often put into symmetrical formations. The symmetrical formations on the page is the logic and the clarity of the personalized story. The natural balance of lines, curves, triangles and circles is the thread of topics through the verbalized monologue or dialogue. It is the belief that the visual illustration shows the individual that he is being taken seriously and without any form of judgement. In contrast to visiting a counselor or general practitioner who may listen and then write down a diagnostic DSM code classifying an individual through charts, Visual Connection Mapping is based on the individuals own experience of his own existentialism versus someone else’s judgments of him. The pictures of Visual Connection Mapping provide the viewer with the opportunity to unravel his own life situations. This method is human being to human being. Human beings can help each other by intention.

 

Just World Hypothesis and VCM

Sometimes / on occasion, Visual Connection Mapping would apply theories from others, such as the Just World Hypothesis, namely that actions and conditions have predictable and appropriate consequences.

The dissolving of schizophrenia

Journal entry. September 17, 2014

Location: Our Place Society, 919 Pandora Ave, Victoria, BC V8V 3N4, Canada

My role was as the Chief Operator of visual Connection Mapping / Developer / Helper to clients. The conversations, and most of the Visual Connection Mapping drawings that were conducted and created are private and confidential. Often I would do a self-reflection with the intention to bring tough topics to light. My motivation was to bear witness to the psychological pain of the clients and to reflect and try to help through any means I could, such as writing about my feelings and experiences myself in order to help other people.

Title: The dissolving of schizophrenia, the visual disappearance of schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is the result of a capitalism system. Are all the so called illnesses the result of our environment? The stress of trying to survive within a capitalist society? Schizophrenia, I used to understand as a mental illness but as I look around Our Place Society I see individuals as unique and I no longer see mental illness.

Each individual has their own narrative and their own logic. There are virtually zero signs of symptoms such as hallucinations, paranoia and dissociations. There are virtually zero signs of treatment resistant psychosis. All individuals are human beings, who are intelligent and strong in their own beliefs. What makes this different than the lives of other people? The capitalist system in the drop in center at Our Place Society is alive amd well and the idea of being better than the next guy is what separates each individual. But is not that the way on all layers of society?

Baruch Spinoza

Baruch Spinoza

“Like golden mist, the west lights up

The window. The diligent manuscript

Awaits, already laden with infinity.

Someone is building God in the twilight.

A man engenders God. He is a Jew

Of sad eyes and citrine skin.

Time carries him as the river carries

A leaf in the downstream water.

No matter. The enchanted one insists

And shapes God with delicate geometry.

Since his illness, since his birth,

He goes on constructing God with the

Word.

The mightiest love was granted him

Love that does not expect to be

loved.”

– Jorge Luis Borges translated by Yirmiyahu Yovel

Essay on Treatment Resistant Psychosis

Above is a picture of me, the Chief Operator / Developer of Visual Connection Mapping and The Communication Model, current date Sept. 16, 2017

Title: Essay on Treatment Resistant Psychosis from Sept 02, 2014

Treatment Resistant Psychosis is a medical condition. It is the result of not receiving adequate care through the Canadian Medical System. Treatment Resistant Psychosis consists of the symptoms of schizophrenia but it is not schizophrenia as schizophrenia is a medical term that means that an individual has had their symptoms of schizophrenia treated in the Canadian Medical Hospital. The actual name schizophrenia refers to the diagnosis that a medical professional has given an individual with the intention to treat, rehabilitate and conquer all of the both positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia. In contrast treatment resistant psychosis is the outward and inward symptoms of untreated schizophrenia. Over the decades the non-treated symptoms of schizophrenia do not receive a medical containment and this results in the individuals with treatment resistant psychosis visiting the drop in center at Our Place Society on Pandora Avenue in Victoria, British Columbia where I help individuals with treatment resistant psychosis.

 

 

 

 

Oedipal crime as prototype of all law breaking

Title: Sigmund Freud and the Jewish mystical tradition
Author: Bakan, David.

Regarding Freud >

(a) “(…) he attempted to rewrite the Law of Moses in a way which would be more compatible with the prevailing spirit of liberty” P. 167

(b) “He was trying to remake and rework our conceptions of morality in a way which would make it possible for the individual to live a richer and less hampered existence, freed from the taboos which Judaism had imposed upon itself for its survival and which had been accepted by the Christian world as a way of life.” P. 167

(c) Guilt associated with the Oedipal crime. Moses Egyptian – absolves himself
