Spritual Or Schizophrenia Posted: 06-06-06 10:46am
Well, ia m just concerned. I am not a
schizophrenic nor I am having any spritual
activities. I am just concerned. It is
said like (and also from lot of posts here
in this forum) schizophrenic people see
things which are not for real , imagine
places and sometiem cross teh limit of
crazyness. Well, imaging things ...Its
okie ...Like I have no problem people
imaging things but how can it be beyond
someones control. And one thing that
confuses me is why or how can someone see
people tehy are not for real and dont even
know that they are fake. And it just
freak me out hearing such things. Could
it be some spritual activity ? Or lets
say, how can we seperate it. Well, guys,
we live in teh world where both spritual
and physical things exist. Anyone got any
ideas?

Hey,
i would suggest meditation and yogic
breathing, as this is a great way of
hearing what your heart is really feeling,
and enables us to deal with our underlying
problems.
There is no easy way to go about finding
your inner-self, it takes time, it takes
dicipline, but it definetly is a
guarenteed way to progress spiritually
while maintaining a healthy mind.
Yoga is the age old practice of
enlightenment!
Aside from this I dont know any other
way....
Hope this helps,
(=^_^=)

There is no "supernatural", if it exists,
there is an empirical explanation for it -
there are things that we haven't yet found
empirical explanations for - quantum
mechanics is in it's infancy for example,
and tangled pairs in quantum computing
appear work best in a fluid medium - which
the brain is - i.E., it might be an
empirical explanation for such reported
phenomona as telepathy, etc.
Most people report at least such phenomona
as the feeling of "being watched" for
instance, and often in ways that
alternative explanations such as
unconscious reading of body language can't
always explain- I don't believe it's too
inconcievable that such an ability might
be evolutionarily useful, and selected
for, i.E., some process for interpreting
and extracting information from tangled
pairs under certain condition.
That's my favorite "delusional" hypothesis
anyway, we don't know enough about quantum
physics to say it *can't* work that way.
The thing is, even if true, it's only
marginally useful at best: most peoples
thought aren't really worth reading, and
since this would probobly be an
unconscious process, and usually only
exhibited consciously in schizophrenia
where other unconscious symbolic processes
are also being surfaced randomly, it's
also fairly difficult if not impossible to
determine which things might be external
and which might be internal, as they are
both mixed together.
This actually first occured to me many
years ago, when reading "be here now",
where an indian yogi gave this advice to
the author - that "mind reading" is not
all it's cracked up to be - most thoughts
are pretty shallow and mundane - and sort
of popped back into my head years later
when I started experiencing some very
strange psychological phenomona myself.
Might be autosuggestion, but I did seem to
get a few instances of nominal
confimation, and the synchronicity got
very thick there for a while.
Along those lines, the advice to meditate
is the best i've heard - yoga involves
breathing, and centering, and also
provides an abstract, organizational
structure to put these sort of
meta-rational experiences and phenomona
into a symbolic context, which might help
you get a handle on it to a point where
you can function.
