Maybe he is there to guide me and keep me in line. Im very pleased that I have that in me, as Im sure everyone else is too. Its really amazing.
Well, since you are always in tune with God, I don't think you are delusional or psychotic. Everything, every feeling, is more pronouned when you are manic, so it would be natural for your connection with God to also be more pronounced when your manic.

Just cherish your spirtuality. I don't believe in God myself, but I kinda wish I did. I think it would bring me comfort.
