Could psychosis just be a spiritual awakening instead of a mental illness?

Probably not, no.

You tempt me but I won’t succumb. These topics are avoided in this forum

I don’t think so. I think some people get a greater understanding of reality but at a great cost (in my case). But for most people, I don’t understand or their beliefs don’t resonate with me. For instance, I don’t believe in ghosts. I don’t think I ever had experiences with ghosts. I think most people just suffer and are left deeply confused about reality. Reality confuses me too.

I believe we live in a computer simulation but evidence that we do could be simulated also so we may never find out. I just know from my memories, that I lived in several simulations. But they/we could have been wrong. Some physicists in the UK from Cambridge or Oxford say they disproved it. But I think they are wrong.

I really wish I never had that NDE/psychotic experience where God told me I lived in the matrix. I was watching a NASA scientist/engineer at the time talking about it in 2011. I guess that’s how the idea got in my head. But it was like a light switch went on and then the severe panic attacks started. I’ve learned not to care much about the matrix.

I made a similar topic this morning.

It’s an illness, as hard as it is to admit.

Part of me still questions if this is an awakening, that all this disease has done, was worth something.

But that itself may be delusion, and part of my illness

For me being psychotic is scary and bad. Having a spiritual awaking I see as a good thing.

It’s an illness, though as in all things of life, there is much we can learn.

I think, I have had some nice spiritual experiences. How much do I contribute to psychosis. How much to other things. Probably mostly to other things. The internet can make you spiritually awakened. But not everyone who uses the internet is going to become enlightened. Same goes for psychosis maybe.
