I never thought of schizophrenia as a shamanic state before. And I doubt most people diagnosed are anything but mentally ill.

Still... everything else you say is true so I may have to think about it.

Yes. I feel very fortunate not to have been swallowed by 'the system’ that has nothing in place for people who are actually facing a "spiritual emergence", which is misinterpreted and labelled "psychiatric emergency".
I could have very easily been utterly destroyed, and instead, I was able to get through it--and later, to learn of the universal experience knows as spiritual emergence.

The word emergency conjures helplessness, fear and a belief that it's all 'out of my hands', and into someone else's. This mindset and worldview has eclipsed the power and strength that's inherent in "emergence". One little letter, and empires of devastation are wrought, and visited on multitudes! For broken bones and such, okay. Thank you for emergency rooms, and all that.

I wouldn't go quite as far as calling all "schizophrenics"
"shamans", but many must surely be 'locked' in what amounts to a stuck emergence. In that regard, yes.

It is amazing, ironic actually, that in the West, there is such spiritual impoverishment. Even a poverty-mentality. Bigtime.

When I have felt totally helpless at the atrocities of this world, I remember that we all have the ability to change the whole world to fairer, kinder systems, without saying a word.

I don't know the 'right' mechanics...perhaps we each decide our own...but think about this story, which is apparently true...


A psychic discovered the murderer of two women. Then she was with a group of people she knew, and prayed that, if it was in accord with God's plan, let the murderer feel the agony he inflicted on his victims, now.

Right away quick the villain felt that a woman had stabbed him in the back, and he complained to police.

The police determined that he had stabbed himself, and didn't search for an attacker.

:)


I really don't like feeling victimized...as though I can't choose a pleasant, inspired existence, and work toward it.

I think that universal energy is greater, more powerful, than anything any one or many people can conger up.

...And, any one of us can access all the power we wish.

The hook is, of course, that if we aren't 'universal' people, the power may backfire on us.

The fun comes in enjoying this life and world to the max, no matter what others do, or did, or will do.


My best, everyone.

Fledgling

Schizophrenia is a full blown genuine mental illness, but many schizophrenics are also psychically gifted. Schizophrenia abnormalities can been seen on CT brain scans.

Several my my collegues have been curing this disorder, the key is in the epigenetics, same with autism and bi-polar disorder.

And yes pscho-drugs are criminal, and the once good system has been so thoroughly corrupted that an honest person can't make any difference anymore without endangering himself.

We alternative healers have to hide like drug dealers,if we heal too many people, then the police and the quack watch people come looking for us.

As far as politics goes, it is also irreparably broken, hence the crumbling economy.

Good post but you should mention it is the God of this world that speaks through Bush,Blair and Obama.

Starseed,

I have to say you greatly misunderstand the intricate details that underlie mental illness of today or the past. What others are really going through (ie. Kundalini Syndrome) need to be looked at in the light of proper Reason. This is not meant to be a personal attack but a suggestion to look DEEPER into the causes and conditions of mental disease.

As I have been interested in meditation for over thirty years, I have come to find this truth… when a person becomes an empath, someone sensitive to other people’s feelings, stems from two main causes: drugs (recreational or medicinal) or abuse (physical or sexual).

A person who has never been abused or done drugs will naturally become more Aware and Sensitive to another person’s feelings or thoughts the more one meditates. This person definitely won’t get lost or affected by anything outside of himself in any detrimental way. Furthermore, this type of person is most likely not to lose touch with reality. But, how rare is that?

Most all of us have received some sort of damage via vaccinations, medical prescriptions, Antibiotics , or abuse. The list goes on and on. But, whenever someone has taken drugs or been abused, reiki healers such as Barbara Brennan in her book “Hands of Light” shows clearly with illustrations what happens.

The scientific mind will say that the nervous system has been damaged; while the mystic perceives this damage as a hole in the auric field.

It can be determined that this imbalance, when seen from an energetic perspective, was a “shock” that was too overwhelming for the body/mind system to handle. The trauma can be shown energetically how the person develops unhealthy behavioral patterns when coping with life or relationships.

The upside to having done drugs or unfortunately being abused is that most people can access deeper meditative or trance states. That is why a Shaman would do drugs, to open him up to altered-states of consciousness by letting go of his preconceived notions of a solid reality. Thick-headed Castaneda did this, as a crutch, and was meant to be done only in the beginning of his quest and not made an unhealthy habit.

But, the downside is that one becomes an empath, an overly sensitive person who tends to get lost in other people’s negative thoughts, judgments or low feelings of anger, lust etc.

While having these new abilities definitely makes one different from others, it is not always a thing to be proud of, since there is a constant difficulty…as the aspirant takes years and years of hard work to learn how to ground and protect themselves in public situations. I, fortunately or unfortunately, have had to deal with this challenge of staying centered for over twenty-five years.

Similarly, when someone has faced a serious physical, sexual, or traumatic abuse the aura is shattered when the energetic force is too much and when left unresolved, that core issue remains in one’s subconscious mind and grows like a bad weed in a garden. We find that many years later the mind had become split off from reality and slowly it gets worse. When suddenly the person gets restimulated or triggered the Bipolar becomes paranoid and later manic or the schizophrenic will freak out and “go off the deep end”. This behavior is their own protective way of dealing with an unwanted reality. It is NOT an enlightened behavior as you suggested in your post. More often than not – these unfortunate victims are harmful to themselves and others.

The modern medical therapy manages these cases with drugs. The drug instantly cuts off their impulses and they have a chance to calm down. They may be zombies for a while. And, that is a good thing for protecting citizens who would be in harms-way if they met this person when having a melt-down.

We know that medical just manages mental disease and doesn’t heal or solve the situation completely.

And that is upsetting to you and many people. I can understand that. Believe me. I have gone through my own Bipolar issues. But, the majority of the population doesn’t have the will or know-how to heal in a holistic way. Nor are they inclined when offered the chance – because one would then have to take a risk: either pay money out of their own pocket or be brave enough to face their inner “demons”. Furthermore, it doesn’t seem that a medical doctor could ever take that type of responsibility when dealing with the masses.

The current situation world-wide, may not be the best solution but put yourself in the lunatic’s place a hundred years ago. In Europe, it has been documented that the people were placed in an asylum in the most severe conditions. All fifty or a hundred grouped together and locked in a cell, most likely underground – bereft of all human dignity or hope – no private toilet, no bathing etc. Today, the modern medical way is definitely a step up from that nightmare. But, not the final solution of course.

A person must be willing to heal, take the steps outside of the commonly accepted way, and with the Grace of God one can get well. But, be prepared for no quick solutions – it will take a good twenty to thirty years if not a lifetime’s work.

I hope that sheds some light to people that can only see this illness from the outside; not to mention for those who are continually suffering. I truly wish that others will contemplate this serious topic from such a wider perspective.

Thanks for listening!

...One that seems to work for me...

Cleanse, gently.

All of one's issues seem to come up, by turn.


They appear in your mind's eye...you think them over, gaining insight...then they disappear...often permanently. If you do think about the old issue, casually, it doesn't bother you as it used to.

No, I didn't do drugs, or 'medicines'...thank goodness, but I had lots to be rid of...since infancy.


I think that parasites and chemicals in our environment play an important part. Look up what is considered a "copper personality", for example.

I credit footbaths in a 1% solution of Himalayan Crystal Mineral Salts with lifting me out of just that type of personality.

Have a look at //www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=378721#i


To make a footbath, I make sole (pronounced so-lay) by putting a large handful of crystals into water and leaving them overnight. Undissolved crystals in the bottom means the water is 26% salt, saturated...as much as it can take.

Every time you take out some sole, top up your jarful with fresh water...until your crystals disappear.

I put a cupful of sole in my footbath container, and add 26 cups of clean warm water.

I soak for 20 - 30 minutes.

One doesn't notice the change, balancing, except that one IS balanced and grounded. Perhaps some other stuff is reduced in the body, as well.

I feel fine. In fact, the first time I used the footbath I was in a panic. I was afraid of dying. I slept well, and all panic vanished.


Then there are activated charcoal poultices...

If hospital emergency departments keep activated charcoal for poisonings, why wouldn't they use it to reduce any kind of poisoning?

Or, is that too simple?


My best,

F.

you are right. I have been observing the same as you and many did so in the past and you understand well what they refer to and lead us to and also these many ones lead us today - all physycian, priests, and legistlators have to become to nothing because now we understand that have hunger for light themselves for they are looking for money and not really to take care of our lives. ANd know that that light is our lives. They worry if they know the truth that not making poisonous-creating money they will not live. I thank you, for I was so much unhelped and rediculed getting in serious matter that their solusion is forcing me to take drugs - this way is the only way to deal with their fear of an upsurge for us and change so we will have natural survival again that will change their evil cource of life. Nature for them is evil and you know it in their heart where is taking place in spirit or feeling of life. So it is that once you take the pill you become in their mercy and so you keep them important. Hah, what can we do for their children so that they can make their living by defining us as sick people and so more lies and deceptive and dangerous service. yes to change the evil system or the undergoing distruction of lives all of us have to change by looking into the light to live and by giving it to others. we have to fight by not having fear as to going to stave even if we do not obey these evil forces of those who want just to make money - they are just serving the fear in them and so the hate of life and then more will to distroy indeed everything existing. When there is no LOVE then there is no home or place to enjoy to stay and admire the beauty and intoxication of live exitement and wonderful energy from lives source and not the damn drugs and things of evil unsatisfying desire that lead to self-suicide at the end. They you would have know that in the heart there is Satan or snake or the alien reptilian. Thank you indeed for have the light and bravery to speak freely and right. Nature first and money last so drugs and addiction to fear and Depression and lack of energy - Get energy and this is the right drug for your sound soul and give light into the darkness of others but not of rot for the sake of fear of starving of food and sex and family love. Then all we will work with joy for it sake and so have the energy of love in it that shows it to others and no work that harm at all - things will turn to instrument that gives lives and not kill and kill. CO-CREATORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yOU KNOW THAT gOD WAS HEAR BEFORE YOU DO YOU SO DESIRE SOMETHING OUT OF LOVE THEN IT IS THEN READY IN FRONT OF YOU BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE THAT KIND OF lOVE AND ENERGY OF CREATION THROUGH YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS OR GOD 'S CREATION EVOLVING IN YOU AND YOU TASTE IT. IT IS REAL SERIOUS INDEED AND THAT IS ........

I totally agree with you about the use of drugs. There was a time in my life when I was very depressed for over a year. I never took any anti depressants and I recovered. If I can do it others can too. It was not easy but. I knew that taking drugs was not the cure.

Nice info ! I think this kind of information should be shared with each and every citizen so that they get some basic knowledge on this kind of things !
