A lot of schizophrenics believe in solipsism

17 posts in this topic

Has anyone here considered that schizophrenic people are so enlightened that it interferes with them being normal functioning members of society? 

What if the truths about reality that they're aware of are so heavy and mind-fuck that it causes them to act like complete weirdos?

You'd be amazed how many of them believe in solipsism, know non-duality, one-ness etc. A LOT of them are very spiritual persons. 

What if they're always lowkey tripping (overactive pineal gland) ?

I always imagined schizophrenia being something very similar to coming down from a huge dose of psychedelics, when the euphoria wears off and everything seems hostile and alien, when you become paranoid, anxious and delusional.

I'm sure a lot of psychiatrists would label Leo's beliefs about reality, himself, God as schizophrenic psychosis, delusions. 

What is schizophrenia really? I would love to hear your thoughts on this

We will never know , since it's happening on the level of the mind... We can only speculate, but i doubt it has anything to do with higher states of consciousness because most of the symptoms including behavior are of low quality consciousness. Higher consciousness in people is always spotted in people easily,  they most likely have ego boundary problems and because of this they might get psychotic and because of their suffering they might start manifesting things so schizophrenia might be linked to level of consciousness of insanity.

Just a few of them.


Most of them (and believe me for work I met many) are just in mental pain full of delusions and with cognitive impairments.

The main implicit criteria is that you're having problems with functioning in society. That is what makes it a disorder. When it comes to schizophrenia, the problems tend to be associated with symptoms like disorganized thinking, hearing voices or seeing things that other people don't see, delusions, apathy, flat affect, etc. It should not be conflated with mystical experiences, although people with schizophrenia can certainly have mystical experiences just like people without schizophrenia.

The criteria for the human created concept of mental illness. Not denying that mental impairment exists, but I do not believe in mental illness. In fact I have cycled through various so called "illnesses" like ADHD, and psychosis, the issue is when one gets stuck in one of these states. Yes these are states of consciousness you can experience. 

I've been to the hospital many times and have met the people in the mental wards, many of them are there either from sexual abuse, or some type of spontaneous spiritual awakening, some from minor to extreme drug abuse. The West is currently ill-equipped with dealing with awakening so majority of people who have mystical experiences and have a temporary loss of control get sent to the mental ward for a brief stay and classified as psychosis, but if they start admitting to hearing voices and other such symptoms can be slapped with the schizophrenia label. 

It's going to take awhile before Western Medicine can ascertain a difference.


You are a selfless LACK OF APPEARANCE, that CONSTRUCTS AN APPEARANCE. But that appearance can disappear and reappear and we call that change, we call it time, we call it space, we call it distance, we call distinctness, we call it other. But notice...this appearance, is a SELF. A SELF IS A CONSTRUCTION!!! 

So if you want to know the TRUTH OF THE CONSTRUCTION. Just deconstruct the construction!!!! No point in playing these mind games!!! No point in creating needless complexity!!! The truth of what you are is a BLANK!!!! A selfless awareness....then that means there is NO OTHER, and everything you have ever perceived was JUST AN APPEARANCE, A MIRAGE, AN ILLUSION, IMAGINARY. 

Everything that appears....appears out of a lack of appearance/void/no-thing, non-sense (can't be sensed because there is nothing to sense). That is what you are, and what arises...is made of that. So nonexistence, arises/creates existence. And thus everything is solved.

Ok, Andrew Tate xD Why does mental impairment exist but not mental illness? Both are labels you use to describe some sort of dysfunction.

The awakening process can trigger latent mental issues which needs to be cleared out of the system, but such states have nothing to do with awakening itself. It's just latent karma being purged.

So what? I bet some of them are enlightened, but you can't be too sure. I also think that all these medical classifications and labels such as schizophrenia simply reflect how successfully you can function as a member of a society and nothing more. Also technically there isn't any difference between me hearing my friend talking to me and some schizo dude hearing a 'voice' or something. 

Don't know who wrote this quote, but it  vibes with me: 'Once upon a time, a long long time ago, the diversity and variety of human experience was classified into a botany of symptoms meant to police socially constructed definitions of normalcy and sanity that are compatible with the status quo and shareholder value...'

The difference is that your friend can hear himself talking to you.

Sounds like Terrence McKenna. It's just a fancy way of saying what has already been said.

What does that even mean? We use certain labels to describe certain parts of reality, so if we define mental illness the way Carl did, then how can you deny the existence of mental illness?

OH MY GOSH!!! I can't BELIEVE you just said that! We live in this INTRICATE, BEAUTIFUL, and most of all, HOLISTIC world, where everything is CONNECTED! Mental illness and sanity are like PEANUT BUTTER and JELLY – they go hand in hand!

Just imagine, if our reality was a GIANT PUZZLE, mental illness and sanity would be those VITAL pieces that complete the picture! Each one is an IDEA, swirling around in the COSMIC SOUP of existence, and they DANCE together like stars in the night sky! 

And you know what? Our BRAINS are a part of this AMAZING holistic system, too! It's like they're the world's most COMPLICATED computer program, with BILLIONS of neurons firing away! So, how could anyone NOT believe in mental illness? It's like saying you don't believe in the color BLUE or the feeling of HAPPINESS! 

YAY for the HOLISTIC NATURE OF REALITY!

;)


Apparently.

I beleive they are people with an out of control negative world view. As if Satan has taken over their minds. They are not aware enough to notice that it is not them so they think they are telling themselves things when its actually just the ego taking control of them. They say schizophrenic in other countries the voices say good things about them not bad and then its not a problem. If you beleive you are your thoughts and identify with them they are you and if you don't they aren't and won't bother you.

 

Imagine someone who grew up in a shitty house told they are garbage and no one likes them and they beleive it. This takes on as an identity and the evil voices will start to arise and get louder and louder. You already beleive that you are garbage and now you are constantly telling yourself that and that everyone is looking at you and they hate you. 

Slowly they will convince themselves that everyone does hate them and is out to get them and that they are evil. This identity can go further and further and lead them into very bad situations like causing harm to others because they start to identify with being evil because they were told that about themselves and they didn't stop it and reorganize their thoughts they are just living unconsciously.

You got it backwards. Believing that the thoughts are yours is the nice, comforting, desirable, mentally healthy, and optimal condition.

In fact you also think that your thoughts are yours, you would freak out if your thoughts would be foreign.

Having foreign voices in your head is absolutely terrifying.

   To most, schizophrenia is mostly classed as a mental disorder, and I agree with this, but this is also in a spectrum, from something light like mild schizophrenia to catatonic schizophrenia. Mostly auditory hallucinations of varying degrees, sometimes visual and visible hallucinations, mood swings, intrusions of some or many mind voices. In reality 8 billion people have schizophrenia but very light, enough for the ego mind to speak to itself but not so much that it drowns  other voices.

   Are you taking jabs at @Leo Gura? Be honest, from reading this I feel a lot of passive aggressiveness and less interest in the psychedelic or schizophrenia.
