There are behavioural similarities between the psychotic mind and the awakening mind..not the same but I notice similarities. Also psychotics are attracted to spiritual work. The lucky ones get real spirituality which is rare

The similarities lies in the levels of energetic expression, openness, curiosity etc., but the quality of those things and the subsequent behavior is vastly different. One is delusional, ungrounded, confused, and dysfunctional while the other is sober, calm, integrated, and hyperfunctional. One is of the mind, the other is beyond the mind. One is insanity, the other is beyond insanity. Awakening is beyond mind, beyond insanity, beyond psychosis or normalcy. Psychotics can have awakening experiences - that is not the issue. The issue is the psychotic mind. Then again, psychosis is a relative concept. I would consider most people psychotic.


Intrinsic joy is revealed in the marriage of meaning and being.
