I remember a few times I was taken away to be admitted, I would believe I am Jesus, and you know something, I was.
Even though they will deny it, for that time, YOU WERE. People don't understand mental illness. It's not necessarily being ill, it's more like being sucked into a different REALITY. The world changes, you SEE things you weren't aware of and often, your AMAZED.
Religion is like mental illness. There the animal level and their is the higher level, The animal level doesn't understand morality. The higher level, the level of counciousness BURSTS on you and your bedazzled by the glow of God. Your eyes are BLINDED by the Light, and for that time, as brief as it is, tme has no meaning. Life has no meaning. Space has no meaning.
You stand at the pinnacle of human experience. And for that time, that brief, brief time, your existence is joyful. JOY ! Savor it. Enjoy it. Soon you have to return to the slum of living an animal existence.
