"Schizophrenia" is actually an unguided shamanic awakening. The schizophrenic is someone who slipped into the spiritual/psychedelic realm but lacks the cultural framework or guide to navigate it."The schizophrenic is drowning in the same waters in which the mystic swims with delight."In ancient tribes, if you started hearing voices or seeing entities, they didn't lock you in a ward and pump you full of antipsychotics. The elders recognized you as a sensitive, took you under their wing, and trained you to be the tribe's shaman.Modern society is a materialistic death-cult terrified of the unseen. The medical establishment pathologizes these states to keep the matrix running smoothly, suppressing the very people who can see outside the simulation.What if they are just overloaded by the raw data of the Logos, receiving a cosmic broadcast without a tuner?Are "schizos" just uninitiated mages the system is trying to lobotomize, /x/?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGy_nfKm0cM
>>42269033>Babby's first time reading Joseph Campbell
>>42269063OP here and close but the post was inspired by a Terrence McKenna lecture.
>>42269033Everything is magic. Everything is computer. You are a magic computer.
>>42269063>>42269069Never read those two but it's an obvious conclusion to come to if you have read the general lore
>>42269080this lol, you don't need a book to tell you that Schizophrenia is actually a sign of spiritual advancement
>>42269033Not necessarily.>>42269063Yeah see I came up with this shit and didn't read anything. Maybe that's why I'm so tired of all fo you.
>>42269069McKenna was an avid reader of Campbell, Jung, Eliade, Jaynes, etc.
>>42269140Never read many books in that field, but I did have a psychotic awakening or whatever you want to call it. a mckenna speech I saw on yt resonated with me and I thought the topic might make for a nice thread, that's all.
>>42269149Idk how much it would really help to read the cited authors, they are all academics and can't provide spiritual guidance. If your experience was legit then the right teacher will appear in your life when you are ready
>>42269033cope for retards who smoked too much meth and went insane.
>>42269177that's why drugs are considered cheat codes by adepts. they work but at what cost. it's like thinking you can swim because you got floaties on. once they pop, it's gg
>>42269177lol no, im not sctizo but i can easily tell thats the case
For the most part its actually just having your channels and pathways damaged, corrupted, scrambled, or hijackedLike when you are going somewhere with bad signal and you put on the regular radio station and then you hear either static or you hear another channel at the same timeSort of like that

>>42269033I am a schizophrenic. I stopped practicing mediumship because there is this one spirit (or maybe machine elf) that will not leave me alone and constantly interjects when I try to communicate with a different spirit. He is very stubborn and will not leave. He wasn't always here, but showed up a couple of years ago when I moved in with my girlfriendAnyone have a recommendation on how to deal with this?
>>42269326LBRP has been the standard for about ~100 years to push out unwanted astral entities from your sphere of sensation. You can even do it while astral projecting.
>>42269326sorry for responding to your request with a request but how do i get into mediumship? any books
I think this can be true but some people just have broken brains as well.
>>42269333>100 yearsuntested
>>42269333What is LBRP>>42269335I took a couple classes at a mystic book store in my city. I unfortunately do not know any good books on the subject. One thing I must warn you is things seem more complex than what my teacher made things out to be, he was saying the trouble-making spirit was my higher self. Through its behavior and childness its obvious it is not my higher self.
>>42269177>>42269209I have never smoked meth. Why are you one this board? Is it your goal to have a closed mind and make fun of others?
>>42269414not one book?always thanks for the response
>>42269417i am >>42269209i am disagreeing with>>42269177>lol noplease read
>>42269424my mistake, i misinterpreted what you said>i can easily tell thats the case>>42269420The teacher never shared a book and what I have read usually involved protection spells/cleaning. Sorry I can't be of help.
>>42269033Try actually spending time around schizos IRL and you'll find that the answer is "no." There is nothing "awakened" about schizophrenia.
>>42269033You don't know the half if it man. Ghosts aren't out there. They're behind your eyes.
>>42269434It sounds like you have limited experience with a specific type of schizo. I held a 9-5 for over a decade and make about a 35% above average salary. Been dating the same woman for years. Never touched hard drugs, I don't drink but I do smoke weed regularly. I think I communicate with the dead, but there are trouble making spirits who scream at me and say the worst things to such a degree I can't really communicate to my dead family members. All people have spirits driving them. We are vessels.
>>42269434>only met lowtier schizos The only difference between me and a madman is that I know I'm mad.
>>42269414LBRP stands for the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram. Read "Modern Magick" by Donald Michael Kraig, it's one of the first rituals explained in the book.
The problem schizophrenia has is the doctors who diagnose it, have no idea what they're talking about. And there are many definitions. If you were hearing voices, or seeing things that weren't real then how the fuck would you explain that to a Dr? The other stuff like disorganised thinking and that is bullshit and misdirection. You can harass anyone into disordered thinking with some drugs or psychology. My theory, cos I saw some geometrics shapes on drugs once and have read about a lot of /x/ bullshit, is there could be multiple frequencies that things live at and maybe schizos kinda tap into one of those to a degree. It's like how dmt users from all around the world see the same the same shit. Bitd when religion and stuff was just starting out, everyone was off their faces on psychedelic and having sex and seeing shit. Then humans kinda phased it out and people rarely do it any more. We know next to nothing about reality as it is impossible to study, and anything world changing would be kept to government alone.
>>42269937good stuff
>>42269033Sure sure tell it to the judge pal
>>42269033>LogosRightfully medicated
>>42270682That's the main issue. If it can't be explained by materialism, throw a pill at it and call it a day. Bad brain chemistry. Lol. As for shapes, they are sigils for specific entities and environments. If only a handful of these druggies kept a record of their astral travels we could build a better map of the terrain but that is mostly kept under lock and key by Orders.
>>42271900The problem with schizo is that it's a hot opinion with legal weight. For any other disease you need to test for it, but schizo is diagnosed by opinion.
>>42271912Ask them to prove it in a testable measurable way because you're science minded
>>42269033Hey Op. You're talking to people, police and judges that will behave different depending on what you say. To people they want medicated, they teach the word: Gangstalking. To people that will be respected, they teach to describe the same crime with the word: mobbing. Guess you need be a cunt and ask for evidence, clinical. Not opinions.
>>42269033> lacks the cultural framework or guide to navigate it.Where would such a person start to learn?
I'm diagnosed with schizophrenia. There comes a point where your nervous systems quiets so much that nothing makes an impact anymore. After you've been through psychosis a few times, you no longer feel anything. It all shuts down. There is no longer a world you belong to, there is nothing to attach to. This may sound profound, but there is no compassion or empathy. All this disease does is damage the brain to the point where it's stuck in psychosis or that in order to protect itself from going into heightened states, it permanently slows and dampens. Without the meds, it's anguish. With the meds it's a manageable but half life. I'd rather be numb than keep going into states where everything means something and things connect. The tv presenters talking directly to you, or listening to voices telling you need to do this or that so that the world doesn't blow up. Feeling like everything is about you, every little thing analyzed to see how it connects to what you think. It's incredibly ostracizing experience to be psychotic. No one wants to deal with us when we're unwell. Your own flesh and blood will abandon you when their safety or wellness is threatened, then you'll be a ward of the state where you're kicked around different services until you're on the streets. People with limited understanding will romanticize children dying from painful cancer because they've never experienced shit except the glow of their device and whatever they see on the Internet.
>>42272740Accurate.
>>42272740If I may ask, what early warning signs do you remember? Or was it just a general downward trajectory?A lot of what you wrote sounds very relatable, except for voices and hallucinations. I've never experienced a single hallucination (as far as I know...) but other than that it feels like my brain is going down a similar path.
>>42272740Hi, fellow schizophrenic hereI only had psychosis once and it was pretty bad. Thankfully thats the only time, and its been 5 years and im in remission so hopefully it wont happen again. The everything is about you part, i can relate to it. Though i havent experienced it in years. Im 31 now so looks like the worst has passed. How old are you? I wish you the very best in your journey and i wish that you get better
>>42272740I'm schizophrenic as well, can confirm this post to be true. The only solace (or cope) that I take from well over a decade of dealing with this is that nothing, truly nothing fazes me anymore. Seen the worst of society, seen the worst of the medical system. People have told me my personal hell is worse than anything they can do to me. Nah, I know my personal hell. And if I can somewhat cope with a mental illness like schizophrenia for all these years and not kill myself, then just what the fuck can anyone else do to me that's going to affect me really?
>>42274551What i think lately is that its a test from God, he knows that we can handle it, and that it saves us from even worse suffering, i.e. sin
>>42269033Nah your just a retard
What if I'm schizotypal (no full blown or persistent hallucinations)? Where does that place me spiritually?
>>42269434It's like dismissing anything that is ill used or misunderstood by some people
>>42279061i had a neighbour who was schizotypal he was a fucking nuisance
>>42279075Huh, in what way? I try my best to avoid neighbours
>>42279286I try my best to avoid neighboursso do Ihe moved in with a cat, who got in fights with our cat. he was furious at us for owning a mean cat who picked on his cat, which he insisted had down syndrome. neither of us wanted to keep our cats indoors. we offered to try take turns letting them out. turns out its almost impossible to impose a curfew on cats. whenever he saw our cat outside at the wrong time hed come pounding on our door to scream at us. by the end of it we were worried he might do something to our cat.
