spiritual_emergency,

I'm so glad to meet some people who have had similar experiences!

I'm interested in your use of the past tense throughout your list of "symptoms." What has changed so that now you're not in the same zone as you were while having these experiences?

I've felt (past tense as well) similarly to many of the items on your list. You're hitting the nail on the head. To say these experiences were weighing upon me would be an understatement.

At one point, I believed I was processing the hatred of the whole world, and was attempting to "Defeat" it all by myself. I have felt that I am "in the lord's navy," a warrior of God to let its will work through me. I've had a few dreams about this.

All of these spiritual undertones have, at times, dominated my being and I look back at it now and see that I felt suffocated by them.

Thanks for posting the link to that article; it was quite an interesting read.

Your song really appeals to me. Thanks also for that.

Just wondering...the word emergency in your moniker. I wonder if it could be interpreted as emergence-y, an emergence of something within.
