Your definition is such that a doctor won't instantly prescribe them as manic or crazy or whatever.

I'm not suggesting he will so much as we can't say he wont.

I did no such thing, all I did was attempt to separate the mental illness with the Awakening. Which I think is important.

No, what you did was to conflate their manic episode with a spiritual experience in a stupid, ignorant and dangerous fashion.

Now you are the Priest/doctor who has decided it was mania but not spirituality?

No, what Mr. Beer and I are doing is trusting the diagnosis of a trained professional.

I'm all about the mania diagnosis, how does one sort out the 'spiritual awakening'

You don't. The two are unrelated.

Either you are trying to provoke me or you just want to continue with your dangerous behaviour.

It's recklessly irresponsible to encourage people experiencing a manic episode to think in terms of spirituality rather than seek urgent medical assistance.

If you are trolling, you are the equivalent of 4-channers who think it's funny to encourage suicides. If you are serious, you are just fatuously ignorant.

You are a stupid, smug, dangerous idiot. If you had a shred of character you would stop posting, but people like you are such desperate attention whores that you'd rather a mentally ill person be critically endangered than shut your mouth for 5 minutes. Since reality cannot penetrate your thick-skulled ignorance, I will not engage with you further, except to say that you need to grow the hell up.

There's no dangerous behavior, and I'm not trying to provoke you.

Thats not what I did, OP is in contact with medical advice, but he also mentioned some uneasiness with some thing learned from philosophical writing. Drugs won't/shouldn't be used to 'cure' that.

naw you just enjoy calling people you disagree with ignorant.

Whats your definition of intelligence though?

Quote:

You can't just say to someone if you post after this you don't have character. You are just enticing them so you can suggest you're a prophet.

If I were a desperate attention whore I'd be on the streets yelling this stuff irl.

We are still debating what reality actually is, ignorance would be to make an assumption on it.

do adults really talk to each other like that?

All I wanted was to get people to checkout this site.
Truthcontest.com

I regret ever saying that I'm manic. And fyi I'm on meds now. They're not helping me see anything clearer if anything I'm just as miserable as the rest of the world. Ofcourse my views are viewed insane. You don't know what happened to me. The only thing I can be sure of is my subjective experiences.

I think thats a direct and correct thing to say. If the 2 other will bless it, im hoping we can all have a dialog about your 'experience' from the website material.
