It’s a summary of what I have said in this thread. https://teruwong.wordpress.com/2022/05/31/relationships-between-schizophrenia-and-the-god/
As I mentioned before, I changed my mind as soon as I found out that the physical presence of the God was not the Earth. However, it did not mean that the God does not exist. It is the otherwise, the God is supernatural. The story does not end up here.
I have suffered from schizophrenia for a decade. My major and only symptom was auditory hallucinations (AH). The mysterious voice come directly into my head and I suspected it was actually the manipulation from the God. In another word, the God abuses her power (or ability) to communicate with us. In fact, it happened a lot in the history of humankind. For instance, the writing of bibles.
I am sorry if my writing is a little bit hard for you guys to read. English was not my mother tongue. I hope it is not defined as insane to talk about the presence of the God in 21st century. It definitely need courage to speak out as a patient of schizophrenia, but I do think I have to speak out.
Psychology nowadays has taken over philosophy in the explanations of mental illnesses. However, it does not necessarily mean they are correct. The God abuses her ability to communicate with us to change our destinies. I think it is the truth behind all myths. It was not strange that the God can speak to a large number of people at the same time, as well as in different places. Our computer could now process a lot of data at the same time too. Please be open-minded to this question.
I have to admit that the God is good at role-playing e.g. angels, demons, ghosts and inner-self etc. The “all-knowing” ability (what I am referring to, is her nature of “omniscient“) allows the God to know the history of everyone well. Hence, the God could play many roles by recalling our memories. It seems absurd, but the God is “all-knowing”. I just don’t know how. The situation is similar to the super-computers nowadays which could process many information at the same time instantly. How it actually works still remains a mystery. I insist, “Schizophrenia is the by-product of the manipulations from the God. She abuses the abilities to communicate with us to create various legends. And the God preferred to hide her manipulations by modern psychology with the aims to become an invisible hand behind our tangible world.
Although the God decides our “Destinies”, “Fates” are still in our hands. It is our “Free Will” which allows us to have fates. Hence, the God don’t play dice. She plays with us. She fools us. To a certain extent, humankind are her toys. It sorely depends on the intentions of the God to speak to you. If it was a punishment, she (the God/the voices) would probably start to role-playing as the ghosts or spirits. If the God wants you to be a priest or pastor, he or she will talk to you as an angel or demon. It all depends on the purposes of the God to talk to you. The God manipulates our world and decides our destinies by talking to us. These voices were not caused by the imbalance of chemicals inside our brains as the modern psychology has claimed. The God just fooling around with her power to communicate with many of us at the same time. Meanwhile, the abilities of “all-knowing” and “having presence in everywhere”, or I have to say the power of this “omniscient” God, allows her to role-playing almost everything. It includes angels, demons, ghosts, holy spirits and even our “inner-self”. I don’t know how but the God was even capable of reading my minds during getting along with me. The power of this mighty God keeps manipulating our world. The establishment of modern psychology was a mistake. It makes her manipulations of our world become even more difficult to be explained with. It makes me even harder to retaliate upon her manipulations. That is what we shall call the “destinies” of someone. Destinies and fates. Destinies come from the God, fates are still in our hands. It is my “Free Will” who makes me here today complaining the manipulations from the God.
The presence of the God does not necessarily proved the existence of souls. Nobody knows where we will go after death. I still believe that humankind are animals with higher intelligence only. Everyone was born to be, even the God herself! There are no offences. They are simply just some personal beliefs.
I know more or less the same about this manipulator with all of you. The only differences between me and the majority of the people is that I suffered from schizophrenia for more then a decade. For which, I experienced the manipulations of the God and I really resent her wrongdoings. Obviously, the God is not righteous and good all the time. The God has to do dirty works on her own too because she is the only one capable of doing them. She did it in purposes for modifying our world according to her own will. The struggles between the will of the God (I call it “destinies”) and our “Free Will” (I call it “fates”) always end up with tragedies. Those who refused to compromise go mad. At the end of the day, the God only becomes an invisible manipulator of our world. The truth is so upset. The God created destinies for us, but at the same time she also created her own destiny. The God without the nature of “omnibenevolence” could only be a manipulator. I wonder if she was satisfied with this role or not.
I suddenly think of a quote I found on the internet some days ago, “If you talk to God, you are praying; If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia.” See how the manipulations work!
On the whole, I think Schizophrenia is a manipulation from the God!
