The "I am God" delusion

Hi all, I am wondering if believing you are god is still considered a delusion?

The reason I am asking is in a certain hindu philosophy which I’ve read about - advaita vedanta, we are actually God.

What’s going on?

I once thought I was God. I’m pretty sure it was a delusion.

I ran around the house screaming, “I’m God! I’m God! I’m God!” I started banging on my parents door saying, “I’m God!”

I really lost my mind.

lol probably not the christian god but definitely a hindu one

I think according to Scientology people are taught that they are God.

although they’re probably the same so yeah… my question stands lol

yeah not just scientology, other religions too

hah its funny @SnowTiger. i hope now you feel better. in fact, one of my ill friends had this delusion but she said that she was suffering when she was believing that she is god… did you suffer too or it was just like a dream? me, i never had delusions of this kind. i am so low the most of the time that i discover now that for some, its even normal to believe that you are god… like you said it, in some religions…

I never did that again, of course. I feel guilty about it. I know I scared my parents. I’m not sure how I went through it without getting put in the psych ward, but I guess that time I was lucky. I wasn’t suffering, I was just really angry at the world.

ok, i see. me too i am often really angry to everybody and the world but i dont have a lot of positive symptoms. just the paranoia. the other things are just a pain now.
dont feel guilty, it can happen to everybody :slight_smile:

Thank you! 1515

Classic. Freshmen year of highschool. What a time.

Why are any spiritual beliefs considered delusions? It’s a delusion if only one person believes it but religion if masses believe it. Ok. In my opinion since no one knows anything about anything in that realm we should be free to make up what we want and come to our own conclusions without being deemed wacko.

I had heard that religion was the opiate for the masses they took the publication where I saw that away the government seized it and shut it down it was called loompanics featured in one issue a recipe for smokeless ganja. U can still find the article for smokeless ganja online do search for loompanics smokeless marijuana recipe and you will find it. I had been working on my own smokeless ganja recipe and came up with one and beat a ua while I’m at it

The pyshicatric profession is inclined to believe that if u think u are god then there is a term for that called delusions of grandeur and grandiose thinking

I had figured out how to defy gravity in chair like professor Xavier

…and how to edit holy writ but alas it carries a heavy penalty

The Soft parade holds a special place in my heart and I think it always will

According to my delusion, there is no Supreme Being, only Collective Consciousness (CC) where all of our consciousness are shared, living and dead. We are all connected to it and each other. I have the (by far) strongest connection to CC giving me amazing gifts like the ability to speak all languages, play any instrument, access memories of the living and the dead, sing in any note etc. Because of my gift, people call me ‘God’, the Savior, The American Angel, Queen of the World etc. Really CC is “God” but because of my exclusive connection, people call me “God”. I am “God” (haha) and I am in a brain study of my own design having forgotten (with the help of scientists) my real life or why I started this whole thing. I am afraid that I will be sacrificed because I am “God”, the Savior etc. The is the greatest source of my paranoia is the deep fear of being persecuted terribly. It’s a very tough delusion to have.

I discovered different kinds of ways to get off when the daystar had risen in my heart

The irony is I couldn’t even tie my shoe laces up at time. Never mind be ruler of the universe when I was like that.
