You're right about the fear. I know that for me, if I admit that it was supernatural then what are the implications you know? I mean can it be that every single person that experiences psychosis is just nuts?

I still say youre only "insane" if you enjoy eating your own feces. alot of peoples "delusions" can easily be broken down and understood. alot of peoples problems stem from childhood - enviromental factors, trauma included. also, whatever your parents (or whoever raised you) insilled in your brain. their thinking is passed down, type thing. idk thats whats going on in my case. the adults around me as a child believe in divination, and still do. making that "normal" to me. I dont really get scared. ive seen too much. im more scared if processing feelings, ahahaha.

am I making sense? hahaha.

I believe you can have supernatural experiences that are not related to psychosis.

I'm starting to believe that too. In my own case, no doctor or psychiatrist has explained my experience as a symptom, so what could it be?

Interesting reading about shamanism, although I have a hard time believing what I read. In that case, I did not have delusions, but some sort of contact with he undonsiousness and the underworld or some other realm and that I can become a shaman healing others, whatever that means. Interesting approach to understanding this, but it seems a bit weird though. Or maybe just hard to understand. Am I right when I interpret that shamanism believes a schizofrenic episode is merely a shamanic crisis and that there are no delusions?

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
