Mental "Illness" - or Shamanism?

[panic in paradise]

Schizophrenia is a progressive denigrating disease of the mind, which includes many common physiological imbalances along with it for those diagnosed.

Many teens will take on such a label that has been very often glamorized in the media as a badge of honor, a defining factor for themselves.


With Bi Polar it is profound the patterns in blood types, epically for those with 'type O -' negative which is the most alkaline and so the most prone to acquiring an alkaline blood poisoning because of all the metals built up in the system, and funny enough the drugs used to treat BP are, in fact, made along with or completely out of heavy metals.

Schizophrenia is a progressive denigrating disease of the mind, which includes many common physiological imbalances along with it for those diagnosed.

Indeed, the schizophrenic patients I've worked with have never been physically healthy people. And their bodies just work differently in some ways. For example, schizophrenics all smoke (this really is barely an exaggeration). But for some reason, their rates of smoking related health problems are lower than other smoking populations. Schizophrenics live about 10-15 years less than the general population, on average. I've never met one that's made it to 80. It's hard to say, however, how much this is an inherent physical dimension of the disease, and how much of it is collateral damage from the lifestyle and medications that must be adopted to control the mental symptoms. Most schizophrenics I've worked with live in a constant state of great stress. I wouldn't say they're depressed -- they don't appear to manifest strong emotions of any sort. But they live in a state of hypervigilance and feeling unsafe, which must do a number on their adrenal glands and make their cortisol levels sky high.

By contrast, most people I've met who actively seek mysticism tend to be physically healthier than average, and are very, very emotional and emotionally sensitive.

I think much of that emotional sensitivity, unwarrented depression or anxiety, impulse is, "aura empathy".

Ive been told my aura is "crystal", not sure what this means, if it is in appearance or what, but I do know that type of aura will absorb the stuff of others aura or EMF field. Even those in a neighboring apartment. This is no mystical occurrence, it is the science of nature; actual negative currents of ultra fine "static" which creates the "feelings", or energy rather we got off of other people or animals... Animals are born able to see the chakra system and auric field, this is how they can tell what sort of mood we are in.

They dont react and shut off the ability to see such a thing out of a type of shock, as I and most people do.

The secret life of plants

There is much more to learn about biology, the mind and it's abilities than "just" thinking, feeling and communicating plants. This video should provide you with the necessary inspiration to start searching for other documented facts people some how forgot to share with you.

The book "The Secret Life of Plants" was written by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird in 1973.

Just wanted to say to Foreigner.. I don't think your personal experience qualifies you to say that what schizophrenics experience isn't there. Wanna know something? Just like you see their aura but not their familiars, they're probably thinking about how crazy you are for talking about energy fields when you can't even communicate with their God.

Not to mention the fact that what they're experiencing is entirely too real to them.
Real enough, often, to kill and die for. This seems more real to me on every level than your crystal aura dude..

Not trying to belittle your experience, just ideological differences lol.


Oh, and PiP, cool book, thanks.

^sure! I can hardly believe that Japanese women tells the cactus he didnt speak so properly...

I do not allow myself to see auras, it is frustrating but that is the main reason why.

A schizophrenic or delusional person will be the only one aware of their delusions, and so will act out even more so attempting to prove themselves right, even if that is only proof for themselves, and by any means necessary. Plus if the "visions" stop upon receiving medication...

There comes a time when coincidence and superstition become made aware as religious manipulation, from this, our science of life. And yes these Corporate Religions stand to benefit in more ways then I care to think about. It is a sick sick world and that is in great part why, the rest of the reason is because of our lack of ability to persistently question and prove our own authority over ourselves.

Indeed the "Church"/Vatican uses such info and hides it from the general public, or threatens the thought of as sin and the Devils work. The worlds political and economical structure, as it is, depends on our ignorance, and intolerance, our chosen self segregation to strive, and this is their best means of doing so.

There is nothing New Age about this, it is fundamental, the term New Age is more bullshit to cause further diversion.

cerainly MDAO you are familiar with this stuff, it is fascinating how schizos have lower levels of Iron in their system, many depletion and over abundances of inert chems/hoemones.

The use of physiological traits as alternative phenotypes of the genes that carry risk for schizophrenia was suggested by Paul Meehl (70), in his seminal address to the American Psychological Association, "Schizotaxia, Schizotypy and Schizophrenia."

http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/article.aspx?Volume=159&page=713&journalID=13
OBJECTIVE: Onset of schizophrenia occurs during the reproductive period in more than 80% of those affected. The author reviews neuroendocrine and physiologic events that occur in the basal forebrain at the initiation of and throughout the reproductive period and proposes their possible relationship to the onset of schizophrenia.

^this is my entry to the CannaWiki here at BL, providing medical abstracts as to the relation of THC CBx and it natural existence in our bodies. What is stunning is how irregular inert levels of THC or CBx have a large impact on ones mental health state, to the point of appearing in need of treatment for a schizo-type D/O with traditional treatment. But, it is medical fact that elevated amounts of THC in the body will cause "psychosis", high anxiety, paranoia; where as low levels can also cause a spectrum of seeming psychotic states or mental disturbances, which they are, but the source of the problem is a physical one that affects the mind This is much the same as a thyroid imbalance that can cause symptoms of psychosis...

Yes, in the first sentence of my post, I claim myself to be have a Schizo-type disorder.

and as with myself far too often the same ring of circumstances happens to others. Personally while in an in patient drug rehabilitation center at 18, sober finally, I recalled much trauma that I had suppressed, I went wild especially in that environment and state of sobriety(such a stranger in a strange land). The most reasonable thing to do seemed to sedate me, but they couldnt prescribe me neuroleptic medications for long with out a solid diagnosis as to why i should continue with such heavy drugs. I personally liked the sound of "tranquilizers" myself, but they didnt do much. It seemed like a new me, it was anew me! And this was the easiest seeming way to take care of my worries, as I had learned, kill the emotions with drugs...LOGIC

I acquired a "bi polar" diagnoses in the same manner, after having Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome twice, an epileptic range dose of Klonopin seemed in order, and while we were at it, a miniscule dose of Lithium couldnt hurt...anyone else.

How could I remain on a non therapeutic dose of Lithium with out a Bi Polar diagnoses.?

since then all my psychological diagnoses has been dropped, but, the health issues have not.


I am an example of the thousands of kids trying this stuff for the first time, in an attempt to disguise their own sense of self, whom others would rather just deal with brain dead shuffling along through life.

Just like you see their aura but not their familiars, they're probably thinking about how crazy you are for talking about energy fields when you can't even communicate with their God.

You're right. Some people who are psychic see things that I don't see. But I know, objectively, that I am not crazy because I have met others who see auras and we have observed the same phenomena simultaneously. I'm pretty empirical about my observations, even about the psychic things I experience. Two schizophrenics put in the same room experience qualitatively different things. I can also prove it to any given person who does not see auras, as painful spots on the body appear to be red in the aura. Since I know human anatomy, I can also sometimes hone in on specific organ disorders based on what the aura tells me. I'm not always right but my accuracy rate is high. Again... consult the Russian research, it's all laid out.

I do believe that mental health issues like schizophrenia probably operate on a spectrum, and I am not qualified to say what is or isn't real for someone else. Schizophrenia, as a diagnosis, comes attached to functional disorder in one's life. There are probably a lot more people out there who see or hear things regularly, but because they live an outwardly normal existence there is never conflict.

The issue of God is usually an issue of delusion; but just because it's a delusion does not mean it cannot have a profound positive impact on someone's life. I'm inclined to think this whole world is a delusion; therefore, I can shape my reality as I please. Everyone's relationship with Divinity can be different, but it's an all-roads-lead-to-Rome kind of situation. When it comes to God, people are all seeking the same truth, just in a multitude of ways. I do not believe in "your god vs. my god" - they're all the same. If God talks to you and you're ok with that, then there is no pathology. The pathology arises when the voice of a God drives a person mad and coerces them into being a direct danger to themselves or society.

Not to mention the fact that what they're experiencing is entirely too real to them.

Auras aren't crystaline, though that would be cool.

The psychiatric DSM has very specific criteria on schizophrenia, and one of my best friends suffers from a mild form of it. The issue surrounding schizophrenia is not whether or not what they experience is "real", but whether or not their experience is hindering their function. I do not see or hear what schizophrenics tell me they see or hear and that has been universal among all of them. I have met other psychics and in most instances I also see and hear what they do. What has also been universal is how the aura of a schizophrenic tends to appear. In a crowd I can spot someone who likely has some kind of schizo-affective disorder, based on their aura. I realize this sounds foreign to you, but I'm just offering it up for discussion. If you think I'm crazy then oh well.

Not trying to belittle your experience, just ideological differences lol.

I know, and I appreciate that. I guess because I am sensitive to a lot more than others, this issue doesn't really puzzle me as much. From my perspective, schizophrenia has a lot of logical components that are applicable across the board. I would never presume to tell them what is and isn't real because it's ultimately their experience, but I would offer to help someone who is suffering from a delusion that they can't seem to find their way out of.

In all fairness I mentioned the "crystal" thing.

hehe

now for the first time reading about "crystal aura" i do not relate to much of it at all.

 

[!!4iV4HF9R34g]

Sorry, I usually just read posts not authors, only when I quote. So yah, I get what you're saying about repeatability sorta. But I might attribute that to shared hallucination as easily. I don't know many schizophrenics, but when I was in the ward, lots of people would feed off each other. Of course, I too believe in reality tunneling and perception modeling, so I don't know lol. I'm high ha, maybe I'll edit this later to clarify, but try to bother me about it now lol.
