I thought I was Christ returned for awhile. I even thought I had come back from the dead and just forgotten it. Now, I am only slightly better. I believe I am the Atheist Savior and, as soon as this brain study is over, I will get back to ‘Saving the World’.
I am just curios how many others have believed they were Jesus, an Angel, a Savior etc. I have heard it is a very common delusion to have.
Coming back from the dead is an interesting process, you ever think about how it works scientifically?
The old body is gone of course, no doubt there, that ■■■■ is gone. But it was made of something and it had working parts right. It was indeed alive and it had working parts. They understand each and every single working part involved with our conscious being.
So they craft a new being and implant our life into it basically. Presto, we wake up. We have all of the experience that we had previously and all of our memories are intact.
What is consciousness anyway but information. Recordable, downloadable, uploadable, transplantable, renewable.
It’s a very interesting process actually. An amazing thing they can do. And they’ll do it, they promise, ha, they promised, like we’re just supposed to believe it you know. It is though an interesting and fully achievable thing and process.
I thought I was a savior.
It felt great until I really went cray and had to be involuntary.
I wonder why it’s such a common delusion. I wish there was more research done on why a lot of delusions are the same no matter the person’s background. It would be really fascinating to understand.
I agree. I am reading a book called ‘Suspicious Minds-How culture shapes madness’ that talks about the similarity of paranoia and delusions amongst the mentally ill even throughout time. It’s not just people from different backgrounds is in different era’s. One of the more common ones, is the delusion of being watched or spied on. I also have that one too.
I didn’t know the angel thing was common. I’ve never thought of myself as a savior because there’s already one, so that would be blasphemy. But I still struggle with thinking I’m an angel. It has nothing to do with goodness. I just find it hard to believe I’m one of these humans. I don’t relate to so much of what it seems to mean to be human. And my intense feelings of not belonging are hard to explain. I’m drawn to God, to be reunited in heaven… Nothing in this world holds me, not even the good and beautiful things that I know are here. Meaningless. I want to go home. And my companion and all angels and demons that visit me are more familiar than any human.
not Jesus
but some kind of martyr
I kept telling myself how wrong I was though
it was like a dual state of mind
I kept on getting visions of past lives where I was important. Now I just realise that these are wild dreams that will never be true.
Currently I am grandiose about my employment, however the family I have working there that shield me will retire in the next five years. I have no idea what is going to happen after then.
If I can ask
what’s the brain study
it still takes a driver, the brain
For a number of years whilst at university I had a delusion that I was going to be Prime Minister. Thanks to an extended period of manic psychosis I actually spent months writing an entire new political system for the UK, a sort of socialist/anarchist utopia I planned to submit as my Master’s thesis. I was going to political meetings and rallies, and ranting and raving at random strangers about why they should vote for me. Ended up sectioned for nearly 6 months…
PS, in my time in hospital, I have met at least 6 people I can think of who believed they were a holy figure, famous figure or otherwise, so I guess it’s not an unusual delusion to believe something like that.
These days, I’ve gotten over the PM delusion, but I’m told that I am still delusional because I believe I can travel through time and other dimensions.
Omg hilarious
1515
Lol, I know, I do see the funny side of it when I look back. Shame, I think I’d have made a really good PM 
Except I’m not a total ********, and I think that’s a prerequisite for the job…
I’m just glad we aspire to prime minister
And Jesus
I had the pagan god half breed complex…■■■■■■■ child of Odin…no saviour or angel type…may be the only one with a pagan god complex…
jesus took over my mind and body and would yell at people and call them dummies for not understanding it was jesus that took over this vessel (body), spoke in chinese or spanish (so i thought although it was complete gibberish).
i didnt know this wasn’t possible… freaked the hell out of everyone.
jesus would refer to me in the third person when this was happening, it was bizarre
i had 0 insight i was even ill at all
i remember when i was first talking to jesus he didnt want me to say anything, when i tried to tell my bro something, jesus blew into my ear SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH to silence me.
tons of weird ■■■■ like that. too much to count. glad its over though!
@anon31257746 I have also had episodes of speaking in gibberish (and singing) totally convinced it was a foreign language that ‘they’(brain researchers) made me forget how to understand. Makes me laugh my ass off now even though I still believe there are brain researchers
@Daze I believe I am in a brain study. I think brain researchers are watching my brain activity via implants in my head/brain. They do it through satellite. They also use that same system to talk to my brain. My amazingly gifted brain is why I am the ‘Savior’. I get how ridiculous this BS sounds but, as of now, I believe it
My psychosis has always had religious overtones. I had to finally talk to a Priest that I trusted to come to believe that I am just plain sza. I still have doubts that maybe… But the meds and some good counsel for the most part keep me grounded. I really can’t describe all the crazy ideas.
A couple of times I went to Protestant ministers and they preformed exorcisms - but they didn’t know what they were talking about. I think I will stick with the Catholics. The problems is mental illness. It is not caused by demons.
I was told years ago an actor is Jesus, now years later he plays Jesus in a movie.
hope those ideas fade in time for you
cheers
i felt like i had been saved by God by trials but not by Jesus, i thought i was special but i now know that i am completely ordinary apart from my mi
