I have heard several people on here say they felt like they were God. What specifically does that entail? What specifically are you thinking? No judgement here, just curious.
A series of experiences, some visions, and a deluded mind.
Is it ever dangerous, like you can do anything; walk thru fire, jump off a building, etc?
No, for me it wasnāt. I was well aware of my lack of divine powers. I thought, still do a bit, that I had no super powers, aside from reading minds

Has medication helped with the delusions? Do you still have them?
I no longer believe in them, but I still have them. I thought they were going to fade, but they havenāt. Which leds me to believe that I am god, a very persistent delusion I have

Thinking that the universe is ours. Thinking that we are just not like other humans, that we are above them and that we were born that way. Thinking we are destined for greatness.
Happened to me when I was 11. I then became an atheist at 13. I never look back. Delusions and faith are the same from a clinical perspective. Sad but true.

Thanks for sharing. Iām always interested in other peopleās SZ symptoms, as I think it will help me understand my own better. I have only been diagnosed since June, so much of this is new to me.
Itās alrightā¦ I like talking about it, puts it in a ridiculous way. I feel like I should use this on my writting, write something about the issue. What bothers me is that it doesnāt go away. Iām prepared to live with it my whole life now. I will find out the truth when Iām dead.

Wow! I never thought of it that way. I just thought maybe people who had this delusion thought they had superpowers of some sort. And Iām sure every person is different.
I have to be honest, all of what you said is very familiar to me. I also have this weird feeling that everyone on this planet, including the people, are here because of me. I promise, I am not trying to jump on the bandwagon, but I just thought these feelings were normal. Geez, I need to talk to my pdoc.
Now Iām going to worry about this all day. Thanks for sharing that.

Never thought of myself as God, so not sure if I should chime-in, but always questioned my humanity. As recently as three years ago I was absoutely convinced that I am an angel and not part of humanity. Not because of any goodness on my part, but because of what I perceive to be complete differences in how I think and how most humans think. I still struggle with this, and maybe always will.

I changed my mind on my post ā¦
When I became ill I had a delusion of having divine powers like that of Jesus. Later on I believed I was the reincarnation of Mary Magdalene. I began having past life memories. I believed that she had escaped persecution and went into hiding at a church because thatās what the memories were of. I had memories of a white chapel like house, a father who had a long gray beard, and we lived in Whales.
The memories of the church, I am a student of a man who wears brown robes, and later outs me to the Church leaders of Rome. I watch as the statue of Lady Brigit is torn down, and this is at the beginning of the Inquisition. So I sit under a window, with blue stained glass, high arches, somewhere in Northern Ireland and I write in a book day after dayāand then the father I studied under confiscated my book and burnt pages. The story played out like a memory but later I looked up for verification details of my memories, and they proved to be almost identical in picture to the people who lived in that area, plus rumors that Mary Magdalene did flee persecution. But she existed much earlier, so I believe this woman was different. She was white with light brown hair and tall. I also recall in a past life Queen Elizabeth as Mary of Scotland. She loved jewelry and always was greeted with a fanfare. Well Elizabeth wanted me to give a speech but I locked myself in my room and wrote a letter to Richard, and then I was exiled or executed.
I recall the red canopy in my bedroom and the blue curtains on the stage where Elizabeth gave her speech. I recall she was always wary of me but in person no sign of it would show that I feared her as well. I respected her and had no idea she would betray me. I also have memories of Mesopotamia and the Nile, Cleopatra and being her half sister and also when my half sister poisoned our father with a poison tipped dagger or pen, and I recall the burial, and the sorrow I felt. In Egypt the royalty spoke with high literacy and sometimes through gesture or intuitively. My sister, Cleopatra, was self obsessed- and would stare at a mirror always looking for imperfections or admiring her own beauty, she was very vain. She had peacock feather fans and the mirror was plated in silver. My ancestors literally did come from Ireland and France. Iām about a quarter Irish and Italian, and French.
The strange thing was seeing the Church when I looked it upāand being like thatās the one. Even stranger was that there were Priests there at that time. In my book it was a religious reflections journal, not meant to be a Bible. I wrote about Sophia meaning wisdom and light, so it would probably have been in Latin and Greek. Btw, according to my memories Jesus was not crucified, his name was Christopher and he came from a tribe of Druid Sages and Kings of the old world. Our two kingdoms oppposed eachother. I was from North and he was from the Far East? His tribe was probably Nordic Celtic or Druid but mine was a Traditional Irish royalty. The Churches separated us during the beginning of the Roman persecution of women, destroyed his tribe and then separated us after we married in secret. Rome was gaining so I was probably Roman and he was probably Greek. He was more tan but fair and had long curly golden brown hair. He was happy and always got me to dance or fool around or make fun of the Church leaders, they decided to assassinate him when I was with child. I believe he led a rebellion.
In the Past God was given a female attribute and a male one. The trinity does come from Ireland, where-as Easter eggs come from Egypt and Ostara means Spring. Cleopatra in my memory did have long flowing black hair, but she was a terrible queen. She was vain and not sister by birthāI was descended from royalty but only because I was secretly adopted by a queen who felt pity for me. The Romans used the story of Christ to appease the masses before they rose up against Rome. Christians believed in Christopher, who fought Rome. Thatās the real story of Christ as my memories show me.
i read it and its not very nice imo āwell i read the first page or two and thought it wasnāt worth reading the restā, i still have the book though, i also have the answer to that book but i havenāt read that either,
Itās not for everyone.
i might push myself to read it some day because i am curious and then also the response to it, i also have a book called āhow to talk to an atheistā but i havenāt read that either.
this is a link to that book- http://brandonvogt.com/talk-to-atheists/
I never had the god delusion but Iām still waiting to see what comes to fruition, it will be interesting. Pretty much revolves round the book of revelations but thereās many parts of the bible that points towards not believing prophecies that do not come from Jesus or the disciples.
i thought me and the devil destroyed the world and god sent me to hell forever
@pedro27. I feel like Iām in Hellā¦ A part of Hell. The voices tell me I committed the unpardonable sin & am being punishedā¦ I was in church when I said,āI renounce the Holy Spirit.ā But I feel I had no control over it.
