Interesting. I am schizophrenic. The question I have for you is how can one labeled as "mad" find any common ground when he constantly being pulled by physical reality on one side and at the same time being pulled by another "realm" on the other side. He is constantly in a tug of war, and perhaps he reacts to this as a war when, in fact, there is no true war. He fights what he fears, and so chaos ensues. He must learn to accept who he is at the true core of his being and all we be well again. There will finally be harmony between the physical and spiritual aspects of one's being. I have heard that in schizophrenia, there is a surging, constant level of psychospiritual energy which can be overwhelming to one's physcial mind. It is perhaps another plane of existence which we have no true definition, and because we have no real understanding of it, we tend to label it as mere delusion and hallucination. We call it illness because it is rapture and something akin to a dream world, where no physical laws abide. Truly ethereal in nature.
We call it illness because its energy overwhelms the physical circuits in our minds causing what we would term as chaos, whereas on that other "plane" things are just as they are. There is no duality or conflict as on the plane of physical reality. When the two "planes" of existence interact, are we not hearing a voice shouting out to all of us that we must work more diligently to find better solutions to our problems and to live more peacefully together? Through the afflicted, do we merely react in fear, or do we challenge ourselves to understand exactly what is happening in our time? Is it possibly a challenge to step ahead into the evolution of humanity?
