SZ is a spiritual call to arms, not a disease, but a crusade

What do you think? And please, no religious answers.

It certainly is a crusade. I don’t know about you, but it is a constant battle of some sort or another for me. However, it has gotten easier with the medication.

Its certainly a daily spiritual challenge. To much mixed messages. Its a life in a jungle. On the top of the tree i get a feeling how lost i am. There is nothing to see.

Spirituality is different from religion. A lot of people confuse spirituality as a religion, but it is not.

Religion is organized and has a set of rules based on whatever diety is being worshipped.

Spirituality is individual and is related to a search for inner peace and a greater purpose.

You can have one without the other. You can also be spiritual and religious. It’s up to theperson.

I believe mental illnesses can definitely be a spiritual problem. Not exactly sure how that works though. My main defense is my meds. They seem to be working just fine for me.

how can you fight this illness in a spiritual sense?

have you read the meaning behind the word Spiritual?

Alongside the venerable distinction between ā€˜religious’ and ā€˜spiritual’, I’d argue for the distinction between revealed and natural religion, the latter being more focused on the bulk philosophical properties of religious phenomena.

In my experience it has been both. I’ve needed the meds to get me to a place where I can function, then I’ve needed to deal with all the emotional problems that have come up, and to grow, which is a spiritual adventure.

The idea that it is in any way a path to ā€˜spiritual awakening’ is pure bunkum’ Those sz on the streets eating out of trash cans aren’t in the process of becoming more enlightened human beings . They are people who urgently need help. They are people who die at a tragically young age .

Its 17.00 Im logging in randomly…its the 15/4 2020 1520 =300 , 215*4=120
300-120=180
2 0 2 0 is like saying there is 2 no there is 0, there is 2 no there is 0…
Maybe then the answer 1 0
180-10=170
Relax its just a coincidence
Perhaps we solve string theory or play chess

No I guess trying to see new opportunites can be challenging…I like watching old buildings and imagining life there…

I love to imaging life from outer space.

Your haughty comment is also part of this thread.

Praying seems to make the voices somewhat nicer, but curing SZ requires physical medicine.

@NotSeksoEmpirico I was raised in a religion and have (kind of) religious delusions so I think I know what you are saying.

Just the other day one of my voices blamed my mental illness torture on ā€œdivine retribution,ā€ which I had to look up the definition, because I had no idea what she was talking about. It is a strange illness definitely!
