Does anyone have religious delusions, such as thinking your Gods chosen or a prophet, etc?

The self taught āmarkerā for me, is when i start going down the Rabbit Hole, and think that i am an Angel For Children. In fact it causes me great distress on days like Fathers Day - and my Daughters Birthday.
Its a combination of my religious background being a Cathedral Singer as a Boy, And the fact ive lost my Daughter.
Ruddy well catches me out everytime - no matter how much insight i think i have.
My voices have never been nasty - in fact they are comforting at times, so in a strange way its easier to accept them, no matter how mad it seems lol.
During one of my episodes, I believed I was the Angel of Death (yes, one of the Four Horsemen). During another, I got convinced I was the reincarnation of Jesus and had all kinds of wild religious ideas, like that I would fight God to save humanity because he supposedly said he was going to simply scrap humanity because humanity was a mistake.
It was quite strange and terrifying at the same time.

I have had what I would call 3 distinct āepisodesā now.
My āsecond episodeā involved me thinking I was some sort of prophet and would ābecomeā God, so yes. I thought I saw signs everywhere.
But not currently.

Yeah, I had delusion I was a prophet.
At one point I thought I was Jesus, but in meditation I was told āthereās no need for another Jesusā. So I just felt like a prophet, doing things for God and with God in my heart. That was huge delusion.
At some another time I thought I was the character from āmeet Joe Blackā.
It is wired how life turns and how many things can trigger one person while in a certain state of mind.

Normally a Delusion stems from the current technology at the time, popular movies and your own life experience and religion.
Hard as it is - just try to keep yourself Grounded. Its a minefield - and what coping skills i may use, will probably not suit you.
I call it āThe Rabbit Holeā.

I used to think of myself as Krishna and have been preoccupied with thoughts of being a legend and have been very helpful to society without any direct involvement.
