Yep, trauma. Paranoia is one of my main symptoms. Medication isn't super helpful to me. But somatic trauma therapy, kindness, Love, safety, and acceptance are. It's like I can feel all the darkness in the world and tap into the darkness in the collective consciousness. The discomfort comes when I'm in a darkness spiral ... I create more and more darkness. I need to remember and reconnect with Light. It helps me to think about everything as symbols/energies, as that's what it all is to me. I need to be mindful of what I'm creating. And, yes, own and work with my own shadow. What's "inside" is "outside" and what's "outside" is "inside." It's interesting to me that I've come to similar insights and realizations as you have in your videos regarding spirituality and healing. 💖🙏🦋

My psychosis has worn off entirely, but the depression remains. I don't know how to ignore all the hurt and sickness in the world and it's in my nature to want to know what is happening with humanity, so i still keep following the latest news.

You´ll notice that I recommend medications in this video. But with that said, there is no evidence that this is an 'ILLNESS' at all. No medical test will show results for paranoia, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. The psychiatrists I know here in Sao Paulo to longer refer to these conditions as illnesses because, by their own admission, there are no biological markers for illness.

I had one VERY dark experience involving "devils" but now that I don't believe in that and have done lots of work to heal, my spiritual experiences are powerful and positive. I belive I have cleaned up my "karma" which is a result of darma (thoughts.) I love myself, so all that I can experience is a loving

I was not referring to OCD conditions and, actually, I will get into audible and visual hallucinations more in the next video. However, since you brought it up, the roots of OCD as well of many other mental illnesses are also the same feelings of fear and trauma which move someone towards paranoia. As RD Laing said...(something like) mental illnesses are just coping mechanisms for managing one´s deepest fears.

I'm glad I have found your website. It makes me feel less alone. I had experienced my first "psychotic" episode which had lasted for about 6 months then it turned into extreme "paranoia". During these 6 horrific months, I had felt good events, such as I was able to feel true compassion (in my head of course), but I had felt mostly bad events and the darkest experiences of my life as I thought I was evil. I thought bad events around the world were directly affected because of me and my energy.

Trust me, they were not analytic at all. Perry´´s book goes into detail on the ´´being with´´ approach. About Soteria´s work, all I know is from the book, Soteria. Do you have any more expeience with them? From that reading, it sounded like a great clinic, but the staff, being mostly undergrads with high turnover, had little knowledge regarding what they were tapping into..(which may have been a good thing).

I should mention thought that even Stan Grof and JW Perry saw that if people refuse help they could get stuck. I know Soteria says it didn't have this sort of problem, but I´ve seen it in my own family, and it was a situation where my neice should have been medicated earlier. True, her environment was stressed, but in the big picture, she just wasn't ready to deal with what was happening to her. It was a complicated situation.

Thank you for correcting Drew´s error. Following Wikipedia, the majority of Christian religions and denominations believe in a form of Original Sin. However, a few Christian groups, unspecified in Wikipedia, do not. The Roman Catholic Church, one of the oldest and, by far, the largest, Christian religions believes in the doctrine of Original Sin and baptizes babies shortly after birth in order to purify them.

Sure, see video #14. Its easy to confuse what needs to be repressed (our lower - evil) selfish and destructive urges with our also repressed higher self that wants to transcend the culture we find ourself trapped in. You need to learn to tell the difference between your selfish impulse and your Soulful intuition, which is fighting for the right of your higher self to exist.

On another note, paranoia maybe isn't that common in what's called "bipolar", but it's quite common in "schizophrenia". Nevertheless, most of the residents of Soteria did well without drugs. I was somewhat paranoid too. I didn't run, because the door stood wide open, if you know what I mean. I think, what makes people refuse help and run for the hills is when the help itself is intrusive, and forced on them against their will.

I think that thought (mental illness as coping mechanism) is probably true for something like anorexia or OCD - for depression or bipolar, I'm not sure what someone would get out of it that it could be said to help them in some way. Anorexia is about having control over at least one thing in life...though yes, it does get out of control...I'm not really sure if depression really offers anything at any point.

It's none of your business why my episode was scary. The point of my comment is that no one should be encouraged to embrace their ability to hurt their brain by keeping it up for days, sending it into a breakdown. It's like crashing your computer, just to see the pretty blue screen it makes when it's broken. That blue screen means you need to repair your computer. In the same way, a person who has had a break down and or an episode is breaking their brain.

I too am able to hear what people are thinking. I don't care of anyone believes me or not because IT'S TRUE. I tested out 3 people & they couldn't believe it. 2 out of 3 of them are able to hear what others are thinking too. My dad said I should try to earn money for the gift I have. I'm not allowed to do this because my gift was only given to me so I could protect myself from certain people & only have TRUE friends instead of fake ones who only want to be friends with me because of who I am. Also, not everyone thinks things all the time. Some think things LOUDLY, others quietly. Sometimes they don't think anything at all. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

@movadoband Breathwork will expedite things, and here I am referring to acute psychosis paranoia. But the thing to remember is that in any moment of paranoia, there is NO healing happening at all. It is all projected fear of a person who is not dealing with it as an inner process. And from personal experience, I can tell you that even moderate paranoia can destroy a person`s life. So for me, unless the paranoid person can start to deal with their fears, they are probably better off on the meds.

I used to see demons - and when this happened I also experienced what I would call sheer terror! One woman would always appear to me as a demon, so one day I decided to stay with the fear and look at her and stay with the fear- what I then saw was a very sad lonely old lady. My fear disappeared immediately and I felt compassion for the lady. Since then I have seen very few demons... Based on these experiences I agree with what you say - in a sense it is about facing our fears :)
