Well I can feel it happening to my body, I can observe some correlation between my cognitive state and the state of the weather (specifically) around me.
If it's all delusion then holy fuck, call the CAT team LOL. I am deep in it.

It's delusion all right. You aren't going to live forever in a never aging body (only Deepak gets to do that ) and the medicals aren't realized beings. Nor do you control the weather. You've gone on about this nonsense before but nary a shred of evidence is there anywhere in the world. Yet you know it's true. Is that some delusional DA or what? It's from posts like these that I conclude your condition is pretty serious. However you seem to not be suffering too much so delude away but I'll always be here to rain on your parade.

I've known kids who were in the Brilliant IQ range, with straight 'A' averages, who were delusional schizophrenics. They could spin brilliant delusional scenarios which often got them in trouble with the law. One girl stalked a female teacher for 3 weeks after school, watching her routine, then, ran up and dove into the open door of her car. It took 5 cops to subdue her. She explained to me how this teacher was her 'real' mom, and that her parents had kidnapped her as a young child. This teacher was a slender African-American, with long, straight black hair and high cheekbones (striking!) that she inherited from American Indian ancestors. The girl apparently developed some kind of crush and built a delusional system around it.
Meanwhile, advanced cases of schizophrenia certainly do result in severe cognitive degeneration at times, and the medications probably further exacerbate the mind-numbing effects. BUT, those who are Mentally Handicapped because they suffer from Down's Syndrome, or from other causes, and who are on a range of deficiency are not psychotic. Fortunately, labels like Idiot, Imbecile, and Moron are relegated to old Three Stooges films. I have met some very big-hearted Down's Syndrome people who clearly realize that they are not normal intellectually, but all the more reason to treat them with respect and kindness. These conditions can overlap, but the causes of intellectual deficits are different.

A schizo perceives the world in a way that might be viewed by others as being a bit backward, and that backward approach to how you receive impressions from external stimuli may indeed prove that its harder for you to "get it". Now I wouldn't necessarily conclude that because you are viewing the world outside of yourself that the term "schizo" is the most appropriate word for your actions.
The thing I think is essential to mention is the fact that most of modern medicine is a complete and utter scam. The notion that you have these pre existing conditions, which, incidentally are also increasing at a rapid rate(who'd have thought right?), since, indeed, everytime you check they have invented a new disease and we all fall into the category of having some of the symptoms. I think we need to realize that everything is a disease, just being human in itself is a plague.
Also the term "retard" is something that we all belong to in some ways, how are we all not delaying, what is there that we "need" to do? When we find ourselves postponing something which has no need to attended to at this very minute, we see that its nice to just "sit back" and relax. I've completely quit my job and everyone I know has decided to leave also, who wishes to return to work when there is so much "game play" out there?

Can you prove that statement wrong? There is only so many places you may occupy your mind so, evidently the "range" of thought will always be limited thus concluding that we are all "slow to get it". We all have a little "retard" in us there is nothing to rebel against.
