Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a psychic phenomenon that has afflicted the human race in one form or another since the dawning of time. There are different variations of schizophrenia, the symptoms of which often manifest in young people. As a spiritual teacher, my work has brought me into contact with many individuals with schizophrenia, in addition to having experienced similar effects at various stages of the self-realisation process. In this article I’ll endeavour to shed some light on this often harrowing affliction of the human condition.

For someone whose schizophrenic state is an intrinsic part of their perspective of life, there can be no overt signs (to them) of anything unusual. It’s only apparent to others who perceive anomalies in their behaviour and actions in the everyday affairs of living. The schizophrenic state is able to superimpose one sequence of existence upon another simultaneously, which alters the spatial dimension of awareness. The psychic signals from the unconscious agitate the brain’s neural network of cells at a level normally insulated from exposure to this frequency of reality. Unable to process this surplus of psycho/ spiritual energy as a unity of power, the personality multiplies into discrete entities to compensate for the overt pressure on the emotional body. The overall effect magnifies the paranoia and sense of isolation, which keeps the person a virtual slave to the inrush of these abstract psychic forces.

In the spiritual process at a particular level of self-realisation, a split occurs between the rational and psychic structure of mind. This happens as a consequence of harnessing the vital energy normally dissipated through the materialistic thought process and other emotional outlets of an unconscious way of life. This often initiates a transitory schizophrenic condition that begins as a hairline fracture across the perimeter of the solidified matter which surrounds the nucleus of the brain. Assailed by the incoming waves of spiritual power, the split widens, enabling the transmission of reality to enlighten the pineal consciousness (sometimes referred to as the ‘third eye’). The mystic or truth seeker must often walk a fine line between madness while containing the normal faculties of mind until the transcendental power is assimilated throughout the body.

The world of the psyche, and its peculiar, and often terrifying effects, which afflict the schizophrenic defies the rationality of the mind as a complete reversal to the world of cause and effect. Medication and specialised clinics provide some semblance of normality in the life, and for many schizophrenics the only viable option. There is no mass solution and, as an effect of the overall degeneracy of life on earth, mental health issues accelerate daily. This will escalate enormously in future generations, due primarily to the modern scourge of reactivated energy: electro-magnetic pollution. The split, which is essential to the mind’s deepening perception of reality, has now become a crack in the mirror of existence. Not surprisingly, it reflects back the confusion, paranoia and insanity of the world to those most vulnerable to the forces of existence.

The human spirit is the virtue in matter, interpreted as hope by the masses. But it’s not hope that is needed in this world – only love. Real love is synonymous with the human spirit which often arises in times of hardship or when the struggle to survive is threatened and most perilous. To serve another who is afflicted with great emotional pain or psychological disorder is an action of impersonal love. The power of love is the only real solution to the chronic build-up of negativity within the human psyche. Although the outer condition of the schizophrenic, or perhaps a dear relative with Alzheimer’s, may not appear to change, the love and devotion of those who care for and comfort those afflicted can reach them in the other side of existence. This is the space of the human spirit which enables even the most afflicted to somehow get through in the great struggle of life.
