Well I'm sorry I missed the program, sounds like it was very interesting.
In my own observations, ppl with mental health problems (like delusions/hallucinations) often have very tattered/holey auras, it's like the aura acts as a screen for all that excess energy/information out there. When it's damaged, the individual can no longer control what energetic stimulus they get and are 'overloaded'. This theory (which I have discussed many times with my sis who's a social worker and also trained in energetic healing like me) is supported by the fact that all mental healing involves re-learning personal boundaries, at a physical, emotional and psychic levels.
Im not sure either way...I am sure that there are mental health sufferers that truly have issues, and some that are probably just diagnosed that way for convenience of society.
We talk about this quite often, and for me it always comes back to this: If there is truly supposed to be a second coming of Christ, nobody would know, because he would be put in a hospital and told he has schizophrenia.
I thnk its a very valid point, just unfortuntate that modern medicine doesnt allow much room for the metaphysical.
I have often wondered this too. Perhaps that is why most people with metaphysical abilities keep pretty darn quiet about them. Was only 300 years ago they were burning people at the stake for being natural healers (and calling them witches)
this is just my point of veiw and in no way mean to offend anyone.
I have experience with a lot of mental health isues in my family (both my mum and dads extended family) and dps mother.
It seems to me that a lot of the time people with mental health issues seem to use "religion" or spirituality as a crutch. I dont mean this necessarily as a negative, just something that helps them get through the day to day.
My fathers mother (who has no idea who I am) is we think bi polar, has never actually been diagnosed, has a history of changing church, belief or religion every few months or so, my mums sister who I was once very close to is also diagnosed manic depressive (now known as bi polar) possibly drug induced, anyway a few years ago she decided the best thing for herself to do was up and move states, cut contact with everyone and become a born again christian, with very rigid beliefs etc. seeing as my mum is a white witch who reads tarot cards she has been advised to have no contact with our family as we are evil and in league with the devil, productive or good for her mental health? I think not!
anyway, I guess I going off on a tangent here, sorry, I think I made my point..?
The waters are muddied because it's hard to know if people who are spiritual are seeing/hearing/witnessing real phenomena which others cannot detect or if their mind is conjuring these things out of nothing.
As someone who has worked since a young age on grounding in this reality and NOT seeing the bits of awareness i'm not supposed to, i would say that yes, it's possible that for some reason some people are seeing through this reality and onto others which taken as they are seen make no sense. I think some people are just more open to that. My experience was one which led me to know that it is easier to shut the door than to deal with what is on the other side of it. I don't feel it was a "gift" any more than having size 8 feet or being blonde is. The ability is there but i reject it.
Part of the problem with drug use is that if, in order to access a different plane of reality, you open a gate inside yourself, then using drugs to do the same basically blows the gate right out of its hinges. Then you have no gate you can shut over and whatever is on the new plane you accessed can come hassle you all the time.
As a child i had the tendency to leave my body so now i work on accessing the higher awarenesses physically with tantra, yoga, running and so on. Physical meditation, for ME, is a safer way. But i'll bet drugs are quicker and lots of people want the feelings without the work.
