I think we, those with psychotic gifts and disorders, could be very good religious teachers.

But organised religion is easily corrupted. Religion can be good or bad: leading us to freedom or keeping us from attaining freedom. The word itself might've been used originally for the latter, even. But the meaning of words is, and should always be, in flux.

Changing the meaning of words can free us more than coming up with new ones, I believe. That's what makes science and philosophy often different from religion. That's why God exists: it encompasses everything. If God weren't to exist, nothing would exist.

The only way words and meaning are anchored, anything has a derived meaning, is meaningful, is by God. God is, in a way, the most basic of assumptions: that things are meaningful.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
