R. D. Laing Quotes About Confusion

• Man as seen as an organism or man as seen as a person discloses different aspects of the human reality to the investigator. Both are quite possible methodologically but one must be alert to the possible occasion for confusion. (...) Seen as an organism, man cannot be anything else but a complex of things, of its, and the processes that ultimately comprise an organism are it-processes.

• To mystify, in the active sense, is to befuddle, cloud, obscure, mask whatever is going on, whether this be experience, action, or process, or whatever is "the issue." It induces confusion in the sense that there is failure to see what is "really" being experienced, or being done, or going on, and failure to distinguish or discriminate the actual issues. This entails the substitution of false for true constructions of what is being experienced, being done (praxis), or going on (process), and the substitution of false issues for the actual issues.

• En ciertos casos, un ciego de nacimiento puede someterse a una operación que le devuelva la vista. El resultado: frecuentemente miseria, confusión, desorientación. La luz que ilumina al loco es una luz sobrenatural, pero no creo que sea una proyección, una emanación de su yo mundano. Está irradiado por una luz que es más que él. Puede que le queme.
