Does the Beginning Activation of Enlightenment Cause Schizophrenia? | |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31036731 I admire those that shit gold and think nothing of it. Enlightenment is ridding yourself of the consequence of desire, which is the desire itself. Explore where you are with no mind for the carrot of change and you will be the carrot. Cheers Cheers, stranger. |

Quoting: Septenary Man You base your perspective from a 'controlled' position. You presume/assume the position of a medical professional. One must then consider the term and its origin. Would we have considered Aristotle schizophrenic? Oddly enough, we call anyone 'crazy' who simply won't follow through with conventional thought. Such a shame really. If you will not assimilate, we will humiliate. No I don't. I have no idea what you are talking about. And, no, we do not call anyone crazy who won't follow conventional thought. That doesn't make sense at all. I spoke in generalities and the internet is not very good at conveying emotion. (minus emoticons) I was not really 'attacking' you. Regardless, what I meant at the heart of the message is that medicine in general is confining the mind behind medical terms. It just seems so absurd to label 'thought' patterns to generalities itself. I must of been tired and was typing what came to mind and not directing it specifically at you... just medicine in general, it grosses me out with the; "here, take this... it'll make yer brian* werk better!"

I think it's a case of exploring all corners within the circle of your mind and then discovering there are no parameters and then realizing the circle has become an infinigon with an infinite amount of corners. It's here were most start running infinigons around their tables chasing their own tails. |

Whoops, had a typo. Ah, gotcha. Understand now. Also, I think those kind of medicines have such a back lash when they are stopped being used, that it really creates havoc with emotional states and moral judgement capabilities. Personally, I think that is what is responsible for many people doing crazy things. They stop taking their meds for a few days, and start taking other drugs to curb the appetite, and the mixture just sets them out of bounds. |

The altered states and mental processes are activated by spirits, usually fallen angels. Quoting: SevenThunders You might say that a christian indwelt with the Holy Spirit will act at odds with his old self, steeped in sin, but it's not quite the same. The demons love the contradiction of their higher form of insanity, imposed on weak willed humans. I don't agree with this. Many who channel, say, Jesus, think that it is good an holy and that Jesus/God is communicating to them. But, when someone else does the same thing, just leaves out the term Jesus or God, it is immediately demonized even though the message is the same. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 43653760 United States 07/19/2013 10:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I graduated with my masters in clinical psychology. Schizophrenia exists only as social construction. There are no physiological correlates of pathology. Enlightenment is also a poor use of terminology. Everybody is already enlightened. Realization is a better term. At some point in introspection, a realization will occur that there is no doer, only doing. The absolute subject and absolute object are one and the same. Question occurs: who is minding the show? That subject is impossible to reach, yet closer to you than yourself. You will realize that the universe is lawful, and there is nothing you can do because doing is an illusion. At some point, fear will begin to subside because you will realize that it is quite impossible for you to be harmed. But in the meantime, you will undergo a process of purification that is a bit like dismemberment. This is where perceived mental pathology may occur. The quote about the mystic/shaman versus schizophrenic was from Carl Jung I believe. |

To examine your own dross intimately and in the harsh light of truth, can be a shattering experience for the ego and psyche in general. While I would not say that it causes schizophrenia, the experience can bring about various self delusional states as the ego in its strenuous efforts to avoid this process can cause a fragmentation of the aspects of the psyche. In order to grow and continue on reintegration must occur, and for most the mind will regain equilibrium naturally over time. This process is not to be taken lightly, as there is no harsher judge of yourself, than yourself, when in the bright light of truth. As his vision slowly cleared, the traveler came to the startling realization that he had been sitting by the side of the road, repeatedly hitting himself in the head with his walking staff. He had in fact been doing this for a quarter of a century. Shaking his head at his own folly, he dusted himself off, set his gaze upon the road up the mountain and once more set off upon his journey. |

Crazy One User ID: 44121217 Australia 07/27/2013 06:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I believe people with certain 'mental illness' are merely born without certain restraints in place within their brain. It is only 'doctors' who class them as being 'ill' or 'sick'. They are merely different. So the schitzophrenic talking to invisible people in the street, is actually seeing into and interacting with beings in a dimension that the rest of us cannot see. That does not make them less real for him. However, some psychics, etc, can also see into other dimensions, and talk to similar beings without having a 'mental illness'. Although some would try to classified it as such. I believe that bi-polar is close to possession or channelling. I see possession as relating to bad entities, or mind control, and is involuntary. Channeling is the good entities, and the channel always has a choice. There are varying degree of enlightenment. Some come just by having an enlightened being visiting within a person, and sharing their own knowledge through brain and body connection. Others are attained through practices designed to raise you up through those same levels. During that we get glimpses of the higher levels, and the feelings of bliss from same. That is what keeps us wanting to explore more. The highest state I ever got to felt like walking on cotton wool, with the most amazing colours all around, and being totally connected to everyone and everything on the planet. |
Crazy One User ID: 44121217 Australia 07/27/2013 06:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When you are 'enlightened' or seeing into the higher levels above human knowledge, you start seeing into other dimensions and seeing or channeling other beings. So again, some 'doctors' would qualify you as 'ill. When I was channeling intensely, for days on end, I would avoid all people. Just in case one of my friends decided to take me to the mental hospital. I knew I would not be allowed out, if I had tried to explain what I was thinking and feeling. But in reality, I was not crazy, I was just seeing a much bigger picture and into many more layers than ordinary people were able to see, therefore, were also unable to believe in, as I was able too. Other times, when I had unexpected visitors show up, the spirits around me would purposely leave, so that I did not look silly. Its all in other people's perception. And yes, not all the being who serve the light, look, feel and sound like Jesus. But that does not mean they are not of the highest good, they are just different from us. Also, I have encountered the devil on a couple of occassions, shortly before the elders who surround the throne and God himself. Or whatever our highest construct of Him is. So, I often say, the devil travels with God, on the outer edge of His energy and glory. Sometimes that happens in life. If you face the devil, which is simply fear and doubt, you can become closer to God. |

I had a spiritual experience that was so electric and so powerful that the kundalini rose up so fast and powerful it felt like my third eye exploded. You could feel the energy coming out of my crown chakra and I was wandering around feeling like i was walking on air or levitating in a state of all knowing. Every time I touched metal is was shocked by a powerful electric jolt. People told me if I did not ground myself i would become schizophrenic. I was in this state of being for about 2 months. I was told to wear a red shirt and was given grounding stones and crystals, set to a park to walk in the grass with my bear feet. By the end of the day i was back on earth. Craziest thing that ever happened to me. My aunt had this happen to her. She never grounded herself and became schizoid. |
