Having revelations of one kind or another and/or having awareness beyond the natural does not automatically (although it still certainly can) prove (or at least lead to) mania and/or psychosis. However, things such as "Watch me!" are almost always (and at the very least) indicators of need for great caution. So then, at least some certain types of manic and/or psychotic episodes are manifestations or indications more of "Watch me!" than of revelation or awareness.

Few people will understand that, of course, hence many might call me manic or psychotic even at this moment. However, that would be indication of their lack of knowledge and awareness...and I would gladly try to explain to anyone truly willing to listen for reasons other than presuming to diagnose me.
