Oppositionless

I don't want to derail too much since this is primarily a metaphysics conversation but I sincerely wish her the best . Also that thing I said about schizophrenia being less paranoid in the east I also found with a Google search . So the schizophrenics on Reddit were right. Maybe if we find out why it's that way we can find out how to help people with it. @Joseph Maynor mystical powers , life after death . That's why I try to be extra rigorous, because I want it to be true .

yes of course. I've always been an idealist even before I knew what the word meant.

psychotic doesn't mean you're wrong about everything. I don't understand your hostility.

I've heard that paranoid schizophrenia is a western world disease, people in the east sometimes have something similar to what we would call schizophrenia but it can actually be much more pleasant, sometimes involving seeing deities . Learned this from the r/schizophrenia subreddit.

What does it feel like to connect with such beings . Once Ramana Maharshi came to me in a dream and I woke up feeling like it was real .

Maybe some of them realize the absolute but generally speaking I think they're just paranoid people are like spying on them and maybe they have voices say to harm themselves . But traditional cultures knew how to handle such people and they became shamans , which made it into a gift rather than a curse .

"The schizophrenic drowns in the same waters the mystic swims in."

It's a mental illness, and anything is a mental illness, only insofar as it causes harm to the individual or to others . I've heard, from Reddit schizophrenics, that some of their hallucinations are pleasant. But then again, some are terrifying.

God can worship itself by forgetting itself. you might know you're God but unless you're infinitely conscious there are parts of yourself you aren't conscious of.

U could say the same about Buddhism , but with Buddhism you'll at least have a practice that could lead to some enlightenment experiences. I attend in person Buddhist things, Leo was right that most of them don't understand God, but it's okay bc I go for emotional regulation and community. Zen is a little better than Theravada , many theravadans are materialists, zen at least has an idea of God called the one mind but they say it can't be understood, maybe with meditation it can't .

For about a month after quitting weed I felt like I couldn't make art, most of my writing and music I was creating from a space of drug induced insanity , this was great for the art but not great for me mentally, it takes some effort but I'm learning how to reach that state sober.

What I think about is how I don't remember my past lives so it's almost like they didn't exist, only if you can awaken in this life you see you're immortal but you still forget .

Thank you. Small psychical effects on random number generators and the remote viewing have had significant effects . But no major siddhi has been proven this is correct. Although if you put aside bias for a second and evaluate some of the evidence for Christ's resurrection objectively it's pretty interesting. Out of all religious miracles it might have the best evidence.

It's a hallucination people commonly report while in stimulant psychosis / on deliriants such datura.
