The root of mental‑health problems for every individual begins the moment they lose connection with their inner being. This happens precisely because trauma (underlying trauma) breaks a person’s connection with their spirit (core/inspiration) or their Self/soul. This is what is traditionally called the Fall from Grace. This is also the deepest and most fundamental issue behind our collective mental‑health struggles as a people: we no longer have an internal guide for our country, yet we believe that salvation and direction must come from outside. Remember, a colonial system has already lost its own sense of self, which is why it tries to dominate others from the outside. The same thing happens with a colonizing nation: it has also lost itself, and therefore cannot understand that it violates others by trying to control them externally. We adopted the colonial system, which is deadly to the soul because it is entirely outward‑oriented. It seeks control from the outside—while inside, it is dead. This, meaning colonization and the fact that we still live inside a colonial system (from a colonizing country) disguised as a rule‑of‑law state, remains the “pink elephant in the room” for Mental Health.
COLONIAL PSYCHOLOGY
Aruba runs on Dutch models—models from a place that has not yet decolonized its own colonial mindset, and which has already failed. The psychology we copy‑paste, which comes from this colonial system (a system designed to break you so that others can determine your direction), tries to remove the symptoms of trauma and the loss of connection with the inner guide (the Self). Because it is obvious that a colonial system will not promote autonomy and mental sovereignty in its colonies, nor even among its own people. This is because the system itself is the result of its own inner disconnection. A system that has lost itself and fallen into an abyss.
THE EPSTEIN FILES
This is why what is coming out now—among other things through the Epstein Files, but also through many other revelations—shows that this system, of which Western psychology is also a part, exists to sustain itself. It is built on running away from its own shadow (its past) and tries to use trauma to unleash and connect to a counterfeit force because it has lost its real connection with its own Self and the true source. Hiding and covering up trauma is inherent to a colonial system, and that is what its mental‑health care serves. This colonial system, built on hiding and covering (the shadow), has taken us to the opposite of what real mental‑health care should be: reconnection with ourselves—our inner Self. The colonial system leads to a fractured psyche, eventually reaching an upside‑down core (the Anti‑Self or Anti‑Christ). This is what we are witnessing in the Epstein files. And on top of that, like in the Old Testament, it praises Baal.
JUNG vs. FREUD
Freud and the psychology that emerged from him are inherently colonial because they tie you to the outside of yourself. Meanwhile, Carl Jung’s psychology is de‑colonial because it guides you back inward. Jung called the true Self the symbol of Christ, and this is why many associate the colonial system—which moves entirely from the outside (TECH, fragmentation, shadow‑avoidance) and not from within—with the Anti‑Self or Anti‑Christ. This has pushed psychology itself toward becoming a psychology of machines (cold, robotic) rather than the psyche of Sophia (divine wisdom), replaced instead by artificial intelligence. Freud promoted ideas that minimized sexual abuse and suppressed the feminine Self—the shadow of Babylon—and this became the basis of colonial psychology (in Aruba and the Caribbean), while Europe itself exiled Jungian psychology, which did honor the feminine and the real Self. Jung showed that disconnection from our inner Self is the root of all mental illness. Freud became the foundation of the colonial psychology and psychiatry we use here, copy‑pasted from the Netherlands. Between 1896 and 1897, Freud shifted from believing his patients’ mental problems came from sexual abuse to claiming in 1897 that the abuse they reported came from their own fantasies or unconscious desires. This pivot led to the Oedipus complex theory, suggesting children have innate sexual desires—shifting focus from external trauma to internal infantile fantasies. Going deeper: this psychology, which dominates the West and the Netherlands, suppresses trauma and memory of abuse even more, leading to the upside‑down Self we now see in the Epstein files—a glorification of the Anti‑Self or Anti‑Christ—while Jung’s approach leads to the Self, the Christ Archetype.
STOCKHOLM
Many are in shock because of the Epstein files. The implications for us, however, are profound. We are witnessing the collapse of an entire system—at its core a colonial system—disguised as representative democracy, unable to see itself. It wants to resurrect itself again, but now in full symbiosis with machines (transhumanism). Since 2000 years it has been described as something that cleans itself on the outside while rotting and dying on the inside. Yeshua even called them tombs (zombies and vampires). This lineage, which never wanted to face its own splinter (shadow), has continued on the same path and has reappeared in different forms across different eras for 2000 years. But now it shows its face again. We are still dealing with the psychological inheritance of this colonial system, which is now being exposed for how sick it is. The system is sick—and it is making the people sick. The psychology of the current colonial timeline we are in is Freud’s. I was once told that in the Dutch Kingdom, only Freud is practiced, not Jung.
DECOLONIZING PSYCHOLOGY
For psychology to correct itself and save the mental‑health crisis, it needs a status separate from the medical reductionism of psychiatry and the Dutch GZ‑model, which is trapped in medical reductionism. Freud is a satellite of psychiatry. Psychiatry is based on the body and brain; psychology (psyche‑logos) is the soul. And in the colonial system, like everything else in it, mental‑health care is under a hierarchy of power with psychiatry at the top—even though psychiatry is not the primary authority on the psyche. It is becoming clear that the Epstein files extend directly into the systems of the U.S. and Europe. It is not only top individuals who are involved and stepping down en masse, but the system itself—and especially what we see in the files: medical science, psychiatry, and psychology are part of this rotten system in power. And they are ready to keep colonizing. The Epstein files show clearly that Ivy League universities and many European institutions are implicated; their mental‑health systems too. Their psychology comes from a mental system that is not sound and was even designed to hide or suppress trauma (especially sexual trauma). It is no coincidence that sentencing for sexual crimes is so low. The theories claiming depression comes from a chemical imbalance have been debunked and cause more harm than good, yet they continue to be pushed for the reasons mentioned above. The psychiatric labeling of mental disorders has been shown to lack real foundation. The entire medical model of separating body and mind (soul), which is the basis of this system, is flawed. It leads to viewing humans as machines and pushes society toward transhumanism. Their expert training is based on this and is essentially AI, where all feeling and lived experience are excluded. Even more serious is where these societies are heading: their technology is leaving their humanity behind, washing away their shadow (with psychiatric drugs and purely cognitive psychology), dragging their people into a mental abyss with no exit. Now it is revealed that these colonial nations worship Baal—and this is the system guiding their people. Because of Stockholm syndrome, it will be difficult for many to see what is coming out in the files.
EXPLOSION
Psychiatry has become a monstrous force to repress or suppress trauma and its memory, leading to the explosions we are witnessing around us in suicides, accidents, abuse, etc. More than ever, we must decolonize psychology itself and bring profound change to the structure and content of mental‑health care in Aruba, which will alter the current trajectory of our psychology. Only if we—and Aruba as a whole—through trauma work, recover our center (our own voice and Self) to guide ourselves from within, will the mental‑health crisis shift and heal. There is a path forward to bring the change that is needed.
