Think of existence as a Bounce House or Trampoline, the energy gets going and if you have a bunch of people there-
people begin to lose their balance.

When I lived in NY in the 1980's koch years, the city was super mean and full of crazy people- things got better afterwards.

We're ticking backwards...deflation in everything, even iq.

I would trust very few people nowadays. Especially some of the "peppers" I've noticed they have become the mist angry and most unhinged.

Both. Stress can cause a psychotic break in someone who is genetically presdisposed, but also there is something called Spiritual Emergency that often gets misdiagnosed as mental illness. (Read the book called Spriritual Emergency: When Personal Transformation Becomes a Crisis by Stanislov Grof, MD).

Chronic, undiagnosed epilepsy can result in post-ictal psychosis (post-ictal means post-seizure), which can also be misdiagnosed as mental illness. I recently read an ariticle that said that 15-20% of people who are diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar actually have temporal lobe epilepsy.

Modern technology like computers and iPhones can trigger seizures in people who are photosensitive, and cause seizure disorders that often go undiagnosed. I just read an article about people who are sensitive to wi-fi are moving to a wi-fi free small town to get away from it, because wi-fi is making them sick.

Altitude changes (including airplane cabin pressurization) can also cause psychotic breaks, mystical experiences and seizures. Many people with epilepsy report that they have seizures on airplanes.

(But also, most monastaries are located high in the mountains for a reason...the high altitude makes it easier to have a mystical union with the divine.)

There are many things that can contribute to psychotic breaks, and many spiritual experiences can look like psychotic breaks.

But also, sadly, the stress of a poor economy can cause people to get desperate, too, and have a break with reality when they have nowhere else to turn.

Re: Upswing in mental illness or spiritual warfare?
I agree that it's spiritual attacks causing a lot of the problem. You look at my dad for instance. When he was raging at us, he would scream and get right up in my face with hatred in his eyes cursing and screaming that I was worthless and stupid. He would raise his hand and act like he was going to hit me. It could go on for 20 minutes, it could go on for 2 hours. It depended on how long it took for him to blow himself out.

Then, he would look like he was coming to himself and he would leave the house. I'm not sure the bastard even knew what he had said and done. I think there was a demon called "murder" in that house and in that man and in my sister. It was very evil. There were other demons too-especially of a sexual nature. It was a very nasty environment.

But I am very sensitive to the spiritual and I can hear them. I hear Father God, Lord Jesus, Lord Holy Spirit and I can hear satan too. satan always accuses me before God of doing or thinking something to offend God or of some sin. It's incessant too. Sometimes, I think that I got attacked because the blame stuck. Maybe I was guilty or maybe I walked into some shit I didn't know was there. Either way, it's fucking endless. Most people aren't even aware that it's going on. Those who aren't saved are probably accused, but those of us who are saved are savagely attacked on a constant basis.

I had a night two wednesday's ago where I couldn't sleep and when Jesus finally got me to sleep around 5:30 in the morning and I entered into my spirit body on the other side-that's where we go when we sleep. We enter into our spirit body on the other side of the veil. When I entered into my spirit body, satan had one of his demons there waiting for me and they slammed my head against the headboard of the bed I was in and then they yelled, "GOOD MORNING! WAKEY WAKEY! really loudly right into my head. I moved to the side to get away from them and cried 3 times for my daddy. I don't know why I was calling for my daddy. I was asleep and I had been attacked.

I have been getting attacked a shitload over the last 5 years. You have no idea what it's like all the time.

I know the crazies have always existed but I'm talking about people with good careers, mom's etc. who have a sudden and sometimes short lived mental breakdown.

It's always existed. There's just more communication technology to tell the stories so it just seems like there's more.
everything's alright
