I have watched and heard of a number of people that think as this man does.... I have to admit I am on the fence about it.. I believe in spiritual awakenings for sure.. I also believe drug companies have worked both wonders and havoc in medicine..
Medication and my pdoc did so much to help me when I was diagnosed.. however I know Im not as ill as many people with BP are..
I have been going off a number of meds for a while now.. thus far successfully.. I pray that will continue...
I do think though that there is a lot of room for thought here and exploration of ideas is always good when brought with good intention as this was..x

...*walks in from side door.*

Oh...

Hey you guys...

Maybe you should read...

...

wait for it

In conclusion you made little to no sense.
What so ever.
I think you need to reevalutate your erm healing thing. 'Cause really, dude, you sound like rambling mad guy...

But I am intrigued... By these two little figures tied together.

"I can't be me disorder" ha ha ha yeah sometimes it feels like that.

Now that you know what that video is like,
giving something *factual* a try,
Comfortably Numb
By Dude Way More Saner than That Guy Was
(aka Charles Barber)

I believe in spiritual awakenings more than probably anyone here. But not when they are in the midst of a bipolar manic episode. That is just the brain chemicals going crazy.

When you get sane, that is when you can find God - when you find God when you are out of your mind, it is probably a counterfeit. That is what Christians call - the devil. Either your own, or the real kind. Doesn't really matter to me. I know - I had a spiritual awakening when manic- it wasn't real, it didn't work and I only got worse and worse. And it left me a mess after all the experiments to bring me back to sanity.

How ironical after all that spiritual awakening, I could only read Catherine Marshall's books about God, and the Bible. Yet it took 5 more year to become a Christian - when I was sane, I might add.

I'm sorry for you Lee, you are running down a rabbit hole, and you will end up finding the Mad Hatter, is my opinion. Or some other weirdo on youtube. Sorry to be so blunt, but it is late.

I'm liking what he is saying so far, still taking a while to download.

I would love to give another meaning to bipolar especially if its regarded as a good thing and an actually is a healing process.

BP2's would not understand it.

box your thoughts are not as entertaining as my thoughts

nananananana

i feel so not bi polar lately

so many extremes about

and i'm in a lull stage

but no matter what my state

this guy's a whack job in my book
totally out there
on his planet of the heavens or wtfe

There have been quite a number of people Ive seen with similar thoughts on the net.. many who have been bipolar themselves and are looking for another understanding.... it may not be for everyone but he by no means is alone in his thinking..
Visions have gone on for a long time ... many have studied them... Shamans.. vision quests etc.. I do think that many believe they have a spiritual awakening...whether or not it's true is not for me to say as it isnt my experience.. my husband has had this experience though and does take meds but also believes in the experience he has had and I believe in what he has had as well...
Some have talked about God and stated that there is nothing Godly about a vision however many had visions and experiences that would now probably be considered illness during times of the Bible... I just think there is a lot we dont know... this has simply been more food for thought for me

I've seen this vid before.

ok, so mania is not a disease and you cure yourself from bipolar by having the mania and that then cures/transforms you.

Only way to find out is to give it a try. If that's what you believe then go ahead.

Wish this thread would be zapped. Not so much for open minded as for the gullible & desperate.

Gullible and desperate. Well we are a target.

Pull at some heart strings too.

I had a psychotic episode at 25 with late intervention and now been medicated for over 10 years, and I relapsed many times in an effort to get whatever meds available to make me better.

MY Mum had a psychoitc episode at 40...not treated, no meds nothing, came right on her own in about 3 months. Never relapsed.

YOu tell me if they didn't throw me in hospital and let nature take its course that I would be in this situation today still suffering? I guess I will neevr know.

I'd be dead, I know it (without meds). Even when pdocs have lowered my mood stabilizer/s I've had full blown manic episodes.

& the more manic episodes you have the worse your prognosis, y'know?

did anybody watch the OTHER videos by this person?

Manure.

I didn't watch it! lol

I know it would have me projectile vomiting somehow x

the guy who made these videos and narrates has "I'm an enlightened prophet" syndrome. It's in his voice.


yes, projectile.

Sounds manic to me.

lmao!!
