I assure you all nothing can be further from the truth. The popular consensus is that such experiences can be indistinguishable from mental illness and are therefore indicative of mental illness. But this logic would be in error as there is no direct correlation between the two. I wrote a new thread in General Discussion yesterday evening highlighting a recent experience I had with books. I am a special kind of rare individual who has access to the supernatural world and God and there is no necessarily indicative signs or indication that any of this can be explained in the field of Psychiatry. Again, I assure all of you that my mental health is in check and up to par. Please don't disrespect me by making judgments on my mental health status and stereotyping me as a nutjob or something of that nature.
Thank you.
Keep in mind that it appears that all the greatest minds of the species have had one form or another of what we modernly now calibrate as a mental illness or disease.
ADHD ADD phobias to various things, delusional episodes etc etc.
note, Logic does not make errors
people make errors because they are people.
Respect Vs Direspect Vs percieved concepts of social norms of Ego
Projective
introspective
Keep in mind that when you make a comment saying "psychiatry is what-ever" you are making a statement about science.
just like making a statement about "all" people.
i already know your quite a smart person(i have read your posts for a year or soo at least).
Consider any of my comments to be from a position of care. like you would a friend caring about another
i dont have to be right, i dont have to be wrong, however, my motivation is from a position of care. not derision.

I think the burden of this particular forum is to care more about you than anything you might or might not be able to prove.
If you are surrounded by demons (in the USA) and can't handle it call the Samaritans in your area or 1 (800) 273-TALK.
Elsewhere - find the number and keep it by the phone
Back in the day I dated a Samaritan - no angel but pretty damn close. If she hadn't insisted on changing nappies absolutely anywhere (not mine or hers, she had a baby) I might have been with her now.
As far as I know no Samaritan has ever broken the confidentiality of a call.
This is the best plane of existence we have. They (Samaritans) are anchors to this plane of existence - they are a phone call away - always.
C2.
indeed, what vague association and knowledge i have of them, they are True.

If you don't want people to judge you, you shouldn't be on the internet. Or you should at least try to communicate without all the esoteric Langan nonsense and obvious indicators of delusions of grandeur (e.g. "I am a special kind of rare individual"). All delusional people think it's something other than mental issues.
I think you're the nutjob. There is no indication in any of my posts that I am the nutjob. It's a case of misunderstanding.
Everyone who reads your posts to the contrary. Any failure to communicate is your own, and your inability in that regard is indicative of problems relating to others...which is why you often repeatedly reply to your own posts.
Relating to others and having real mental health issues are two completely different things. It is difficult to communicate the supernatural world without crossing boundaries into what can be perceived as mental health issues and the stigma it bears for those unfortunate people who have an illness of any kind. I have a bit of difficulty relating to others but I am certainly not mentally ill. That difficulty may be the result of experiencing radically different things.

if you are interested in learning about the mind you should read a little on the modern thoughts by scientists about autism spectrum.
social interactions are mostly a challenge to deal with for the vast majority of people(95%).
regardles of culture.
this is why recreational drugs like alcahol exist and are used.
they allow a calming effect to help people acclimatise to learning how to interact with groups in situations which are not clearly defined by strict rules.
(i have met vastly creative minds whom do not delve in recreation drugs and socialise in massively diverse social groups but they are a small number of people)
people who say they dont need drugs to socialise with people do not socialise with a diverse range of liberal creative/conservative all- types all in one place for hours on end.
they skip along a pre determined path while shutting out everything then skip off and claim they have expereinced everyones ideas and life styles.
it is simply a lie.
balance is critical. if it is not drugs then it is meditation, yoga, aerobics, , prayer, isolation, escapism of some form is compulsory.
