I am not a Christian, but I do feel the connection you are talking about. I think we might all have different paths to the same thing.

Psychosis and cultural, spiritual beliefs, it's a pretty blurry line. I'm not willing to write off spiritual experiences as psychosis alone. I was happy and not so happy when I looked up psychosis and saw that by definition cultural and religious psychosis was defined differently, less happy that it still was considered psychosis.

Oh Moremi, the spiders sensation, crawling on you, can be what's called tactile hallucinations. Or it could just be your fear.

Bipolarmedstudent, perhaps your path will just look different. Or your connection will cone in another form.
