I too had similar delusions that I believed were spiritual experiences. I would get messages from songs on the radio or from the t.v. I would see number sequences like 11:11 and repeated numbers that I believed had meaning. I would see shapes that I thought had meaning from God (like hearts or shapes that looked like letters). I believed in the Native American concept of animal totems, and I believed that seeing certain animals were messages to me. Again, I believed all of these were spiritual and were in line with my pagan/Wiccan beliefs at the time.
I lived by my delusions and they were how I would make decisions. I even dated an ex based on the delusion that it was a sign from God. I had the delusion that I was ill because I kept getting the message of that particular disease in songs, television, and magazines. Only to learn that I didn't have it. I believed that people would be talking about a particular subject that was a message for me. I've had all kinds of delusions. Were some of these actual spiritual experiences? To this day I'm not quite sure, but those were some of mine.
My medications have been a huge help to conquering some of these delusions, but I still struggle with them. I still struggle to not "see" signs" in shapes and numbers and other "signs." I also still struggle with making decisions based on my own healthy mind.
