An appreciation of 'Outlier' Don Elkins

[Tenet Nosce]

Wait... I'm confused! Where are comments about Don being unstable and schizophrenic?

They were back in post 19. I used the browser search feature.

Oh, you are talking about this?

Don had depressive disorder long before the Ra contact. Sometimes it was bad and other times it wasn't visible. He had a terrific sense of humor and usually was good company. After moving to California, I would call them up on a Saturday to chat. Usually Carla answered and we exchanged anecdotes for awhile, but sometimes Don answered. I would say my name and he usually said that Carla would be back in awhile. Then I would say okay, what's been happening with you? Half the time, he would be curt so I would thank him and end the call, and the other half he might get excited to tell about meeting with Charlie Hixson or talk about some new close encounter he investigated.

Charlie Hixson. I will track him down as well. Yes, it kind of sounds like Don may have had some sort of bipolar disorder, and the Ra contact may have added some schizophrenic features on top of it. I believe that some cases of schizophrenia are a result of what happens when revelations are made to a mind that is not sufficiently prepared. I have observed LSD to have particularly negative aftereffects in others. Perhaps it has something to to with it being lab created? Would you feel moved to share if Don had any experiences with mind-altering substances?

Well, you were the one who pointed out the bipolar features of his personality. I pointed out that he also appeared to have schizophrenic features, as in:

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that makes it difficult to tell the difference between real and unreal experiences, to think logically, to have normal emotional responses, and to behave normally in social situations.

Pointing out that somebody's behavior has schizophrenic features is not the same as calling them schizophrenic. However, I am pretty sure that anybody walking into an MD's office complaining of physical ailments due to an attack by a fifth-density negative entity would probably end up with that label.

So I guess I am at a loss as to your point. Are you saying that Don was different before the Ra contact? Or you just don't like the term "schizophrenic".. or...?

Anyway, I am not all that concerned one way or another. From what I understand of Don, he was in many ways a remarkable man. I'm sure he has moved through that traumatic experience by now, and I would venture a guess that he isn't too concerned with maintaining a positive image of his former self in the mind of somebody he never met.

I am more interested if you happened to know of a Leonard/Leo at any of those Michigan channeling groups!
