I sometimes wonder if people who are experiencing mystical or schizophrenic episodes are experiencing extra dimensions of a parallel time in reality. Since space and time is infinite, and reality is finite to human conception of this galaxy, then evolution allows one to perceive the possibilities of extra dimensions. The idea came to me during an episode in which time became almost casual, and I felt I had conceptualized what it would be like to be viewing multiple realities at once.
Has anyone ever noticed something that just seemed off?
You would imagine reality to be like an onion, with multiple planes layer upon layer, and when you notice that something drastic changes the flow of one’s path, the other planes create alternate paths to a different chain of reactions. But since everyone is connected, perhaps all these parallel realities unite somewhere and can be guided through human willpower though meditation, compassion, and guided focus.

What unites and separates the different realities? What unites the opposites at the core but unification of the diverse?
I also believe there are two distinct parallel realities: 1=13=8. The possibilities are becoming real.
So the question I ponder is that the common oddities experienced by a person with schizophrenia is the misconception that there are “other people” and that the time changes and their perceptive differences are what scares them. I don’t have these experiences, but I’ve known people who do appear to lapse into this realm and believe it so strongly, or is that pure delusion? I can’t tell from the outside but if reality were driven individually then anyone could experience a “false” reality vs. a “true reality” and it would be up to the person perceiving to decide.
This knowledge that it’s my choice what I choose to believe has helped me feel secure and not mentally unstable. For me to know that i can choose what I believe and what I choose to be real is a blessing, not a curse. It’s ironic that a dopamine agonist is the only thing that seemed to help me too. I feel that my breakdown could have been induced from stress sometimes, although I’m almost certain I do have some sort of brain illness–I think dopamine helps because dopamine is the precursor to higher intelligence, and when u increase dopamine u can communicate and express yourself better, that is why that helps people with schizophrenia, and who can perceive multiple realities.
