> Because I have had waxing and waning of spirituality on certain medications, I often ask myslef how accurate my religious belief system can be, if my connection with God is blocked by a molecule.
Wow. Well, psychotic people often have religious delusions. A dopaminergic system running wild may promote an insane kind of spirituality. Dopamine seems to be connected to our ability to sense meaning, message, divine love..
I don't think God can be blocked by a molecule. Sensibility to God sure can. But then, may true love not be based on a decision of the will, not unaffected by, but certainly not stopped by, a lack of sensibility for whatever reason?
Current meds: clomipramine 225mg, fluvoxamine (Luvox) 50mg
As needed: bethanechol 25-50mg, oxazepam 5-10mg
