Is it possible to "swim" in ideas of reference?

I once followed a course in Synchrodestiny from Deepak Chopra.

Really messed with my brain.

This type of stuff is not for schizophrenics.

Yeah, I looked it up a long time ago that delusions vary from one culture to another. Certain delusions are more pronounced in certain cultures. Other cultures schizophrenic delusions vary from other cultures too. Obviously, with the advent of technological advances, some of our delusions today in western culture are much different than they were just a couple of hundred years ago in our culture.

Someone has to sort them out. I am not sure how or by what means.
I sometimes have premonitions. But not all I think are premonitions come true.just part of them. So when it happends it almost feel like deja-vue. But you never know.

It is true to some extent.
I am wondering if a mystic could pass as a psychotic in the eye of a pdoc?

But people are aware of mental illness these days in the West.

Things have changed.

You could also have been considered possessed by the devil and burnt at the stake :grinning:
