Leo's talk about the raving homeless madman.

[Majed]

Skip to the beyond postmodernism segment. 

I found his talk about the raving homeless madman really profound. I started contemplating and realized how my understanding of these people was terribly distorted because of my biases, assumptions, hear say and conformist thinking. I realized these people are conscious of God and are in heaven. They are enlightened sages, who have realized that life was a joke, hence they live and act the way they do. 

Contemplate: what is the inner experience/consciousness of these people like ?

Whoa! Let's not go too far.

@Leo Gura I don't know man, I am having these weird insights that I haven't integrated yet. 

[Leo Gura]

Some mentally ill people have legit spiritual attainments, but most are lost in delusions.

@Leo Gura Also substance abuse is common, which is quite interesting from a metaphysical standpoint as these substances can create higher consciousness experiences. 

It's definitely a complex topic, but like the way society treats it with the stigma is completely uncalibrated. 

[Leo Gura]

It is good that you are considering their point of view.

@Leo Gura Yeah they're interesting and complex. I like thinking about figures which are non obvious to pin down .
