This keeps coming up at present; are spiritually aware
people, religious or not, actually experiencing delusional episodes when experiencing
heightened awareness of some kind. It is common to feel one is God like at
times especially early on in one’s spiritual development, are experiences &
feelings like this delusional? All I can
do is smile when I’m confronted with such questions.
The two following links are definitely worth looking at even
if you don’t suffer from bipolar or similar symptoms as they show anyone who
has experienced a heightened awareness why they have not experienced actual delusional
episodes. The first link is a vid which goes into how people with bipolar break
down the barriers of the ego which is why they experience such heightened awareness
The next link is a written account of someone who experienced
a heightened awareness while experiencing bipolar episodes.
Such heightened awareness or delusional episodes should
actually be supported in my mind but because of the controlling factors of the
ego of a number of scientist & physicians heightened awareness is put down
as a delusional episode of some kind. If the controlling ego is unable to understand
& explain certain experiences, one of the best ways to protect the ego is
through denial & one of the best way to do this is diagnose what they don’t
understand as delusional. I actually feel for these people because there
controlling factors of the ego have stopped them from being aware of more than
they can consciously understand. This sounds funny, how can anyone become aware
of something they don’t understand but the real question should be how can we
allow our ignorance to hinder expanding on our awareness? The controlling ego
will always go with the first question however an ego not in control will
always go with the last question which to me makes more logical & common sense
to me. There are scientists & physicians alike who ask the last question,
these are the people who excel above their peers I believe.
Now getting back to delusional episodes; I was asked recently
about people in comas, do they actually lose time while in a coma? I answered
yes & no, yes because in time it is obvious we lose time but no because we
are actually in another dimension so in this dimension we are no longer losing
time within our inner consciousness because we are not really conscious here.
Our body is here within this consciousness but our inner conscious mind isn’t. Any experience we remember while in a coma is usually
again put down as some kind of delusional episode. Dreams & OBE’s are another
good example of experiencing other dimensions, are dreams & OBE’s delusional
if we experience a heightened awareness? According to people with a controlling
ego the answer of course is going to be a yes but to an ego that isn’t controlling
the answer of course would be a no.
This is another reason why we have so many different
perceptions to what’s what, it all depends on how controlling the ego is to how
we perceive & how aware we will actually be. What I am saying here is it’s
how controlling the ego is to what perception & awareness we will have, the
controlling factors of the ego dictate how we will perceive & how aware we
will be. No wonder we perceive so differently to each other!!
Bipolar for an example lessons the effects of such
controlling factors of the ego therefore attachments which is shown in the vid in
the first link. So when we lesson the effects of the controlling factors of the
ego & experience a heightened awareness people with controlling egos are obviously
going to put such people down mainly because they have little understanding of
anything beyond what their egos want them to know. One should always show
empathy towards such people for they know not what they do, really!!
