Watch this, it consists of a guy telling of his experience w/ a really profound manic episode. He came to the realization that bi-polar disorder isn't a disorder really in fact it's a profound realization forced upon you by your subcauntious mind looking out for you. Just watch and hopefully enjoy!

nope, but there's links to his other videos on the first one
edit: in part 3 he talks about feeling like he was being tested to go to heaven and then the cops handcuffing him, i find it interesting that these mystical states he found himself in were not produced by drugs but by looking at his life from a new perspective and facing his fear

Yea, his experiences sound extrememely similar to a heavy psychedelic experience. ego death is ego death after all right.

Thanks for posting the link to that vid. I enjoyed it and the guy's other vids. A friend of mine who practices psychiatry believes that most of her patients aren't truly "mentally ill." They just have a thinner veil between this world and other places, they don't have the normal filters.

i only watched the first one and i feel more normal.
one time me and some friends were talking about that guy that got his head cut off by terrorists and i was saying that i wouldn't have screamed and flipped out like he did and i really believed myself, but since then, i've realized that i am very afraid of dying. and afraid of going to hell...like in my last shroom trip...

the idea of "heaven" as well as "hell" is ridiculously absurd to me.
But it works miracles to control the societies in which it hath been created for. Behind it all are rich white men grabbing fat stacks of money and snorting lines of coke off hooker's asses.
lol I'm not calling you out for your belief, I just wish that more people could be liberated from the idea of "hell" because it is fantastic fiction that mainly white people have tried to desperately make a reality.

The guy is using Bi-Polar as his example, but schizophrenia and many other types of psychotic breaks feature the same experiences as mania.
I think he'd do better to say "Is a Psychotic Break a spiritual awakening?"
