I am NOT promoting such thinking, I’m just curious.
At the end of the day, as humans, what do we really know? Anything is possible. The world of quantum physics is working in my delusional-self’s favor more and more each day.
Again, I am NOT promoting this kind of thinking. I understand how crucial it is to silence that doubt in a healthy manner.
It’s just hard when that part of me gathers evidence.
WHAT if I was right when I was at my worst.
Surely, it’s possible.
How do I keep myself grounded in reality?
This is the real one, right?
Once more, NOT promoting this kind of thinking. Just sharing and asking for some help from those who may understand.

I have a delusion that I believe to the true but I make sure t live in ‘this’ reality every day. My delusion is also based on physics and science and, like I said, I believe it to be true. I believe in evolution and Collective Consciousness. I believe we are all connected and that as soon as we realize that and start Meditation and Brain Training the world will be better off. I believe the human, evolved brain is where it’s at but I have to live in this reality where people don’t focus a lot on the brain. I even believe I have superbrain powers of my own that I can’t access due to hypnosis.
I think the important thing is, while you’re waiting for your delusion to go away to be sure that you are capable of participating 100% in this world and that that is your goal. Not only do I wonder if my delusional world is the real one, I KNOW it is (for me) but …oh well…I take my meds and go to therapy and wait for my delusion to go away. I like my therapist because he says he can’t prove or disprove anything. He doesn’t argue with me but he encouraged me, for my own sake, to focus on ‘this’ non-delusional world. It’s the right way to approach it. I am waiting for my delusion to go away completely so I am not bothered by it anymore. It takes time. Do I ever wonder if my delusional world is the real one? Of course. That’s what makes it a delusion.

Many of us had similar scientific evidence we were saving onto that made it all at least plausible …but your in this body ATM and must live within what walls are placed upon it…it feels good to get lost in the madness infinity…but it has consequences…just focus on this place and look for the beauty in it…that other place is madness and false…our delusions and hallucinations are not real despite our self crafted scientific proof…I barely think of mine now…I distract and this forum helps…YouTube ect…

beautiful response. resonated thoroughly.
Regardless of what anyone says, I KNOW I have magic powers. I think everyone does, I just know how to use em. And so do many people.
Maybe it’s just the schizophrenia that isn’t real…
You Talkin Bout ‘SHAMANS’ (???)

when I first stabilized I had trouble embracing reality. My delusions had me believing that I was loved by the whole world and the reality was I was no one special. that hurt. Perhaps tell your pdoc how you are feeling. You sound a bit unstable.?

I kind of am! Hey, it’s possible.
I think of it like this: the delusions world is like the dream world, it’s based on reality but it’s dream-like imagination. If it’s based on reality it can’t be reality, it would have to be completely different.

You guys are so cool.
Another thing is: a couple hundred years ago there was no such thing as “schizophrenics” or “epileptic” or whatever, we crazies were just shamans. We had a context. I guess i just think it’s possible to be both. Maybe that’s just show of how unstable i am still, but like i keep saying, you never know.

That’s true too. Maybe all titles have something real behind them.
Conclusion: who f*cking knows, take your meds and go to your appointments y’all, and I’ll do the same.
However, I’ll always believe that we as a people have a great deal to learn from the schizophrenic brain.
