so does spirituality just encompass happy thoughts or is it a mixed bag! I know these godly people that got it all figured out; they go to prayer meeting wednesday night and church sunday/ or saturday night if they are busy sunday. the rest of the week they are dysfunctional. is this considered macro schizophrenia?

"When a person goes mad, a profound transposition of his place in relation to all domains of being occurs. His center of experience moves from ego to self. Mundane time becomes merely anecdotal, only the eternal matters. The madman is, however, confused. He muddles ego with self, inner with outer, natural and supernatural. Nevertheless, he can often be to us, even through his profound retchedness and disintegration, the hierophant of the sacred. An exile from the scene of being as we know it, he is an alien, a stranger signaling to us from the void in which he is foundering, a void which may be peopled by presences that we do not even dream of. They used to be called demons and spirits, and they used to be known and named."

"Schizophrenia used to be a new name for dementia praecox - a slow, insidious illness that was supposed to overtake young people in particular and to be liable to go on to a terminal dementia....Perhaps we can still retain the now old name, and read into it its etymological meaning: Schiz- 'broken'; Phrenos- 'soul' or 'heart.'....The schizophrenic in this sense is one who is brokenhearted, and even broken hearts have been known to mend, if we have the heart to let them."

- From The Politics of Experience by R.D. Laing

they labelled me "schitzophrenic" cuase they had no other label . i was having psychosis tht was very spiritual. it happened 3 years ago. i saw lots of things i icant explain and no longer an athiest cause i know there is something more to the universe then we are taught and brain washed to see reality as it truely is. during my month long psychosis i became aware of alot of things about reality and how it works.but i had to relearn to trust my senses cuase my senses where playing tricks on me.
id say schitzophrenia can be spiritual but its such a dark trip usually for sojme reason that we miss alot.i was seeing god and all that when i lost it 3 years ago i been together for 3 years now and ive had to start over learn how to think and move and live again cause the psychosis whiped my brain and then the psych drugs kinna numbed things..

A shaman I met told me it is people who see into the spirit
world and have no control over it.

Well, I wish you a speedy return to consensual reality, and a firm connection to it when you are fully integrated and clear. From a stable condition you will be in the best position both to learn from your experience and to teach others.

Peace.

My daughter is sometimes crazy as hell. she hears things and she sees things that don't exist. she doesn't take drugs. I made a BIG mistake by allowing the school system to talk me into putting her on Ritalin. It took years to come off that shit and her weapon was alcohol. She still drinks occasionally but she likes working more than being crazy (money & power.) Not me; I like crazy but not out of control crazy.

Soo my question to you functioning schizo spiritualists is...
waht are the tools of your trade? How do you deal with this rocky road?

My medication, I tried two different kinds of medication, the second one works real well for me, im about 99% back to normal on Zyprexa. On top of this, I always have second thoughts about my thought process, I keep an eye on what im thinking and talk myself down if my thoughts get out of control. Sleep and minimizing stress are also important tools in controling my illness. The most important thing is accepting that you are ill, I mean I don't like being labeled so simply, but I know im sick and need my medication; but to each their own.

It is not spiritual. Im in a grad level abnormal psych class and not only are there chemical problems/differences in the brains of people with schizophrenia, but the brains dont utilize certain areas of the brain properly. Additionally, there are physical differences in the brains of people with this horrible fucking disease.

no...

I have schizophrenia, and it is no way spiritual... I believe I induced it upon myself through heroin addiction, and the use of psychedelics...

existential angst, cosmic refuge, and transcendent transformative release are part of both spiritual quests and schizophrenic episodes.

this is not the kind of claim that I have seen supported with experimentation and statistical reporting.

Well sport can be spiritual, a walk can be spiritual, so why couldn't schizophrenia be spiritual?
