Thats interesting. Thank you. I do not have the hallucinations and such as I did have before the medicine, but it is interesting to note that the indians (Native Americans) that I saw, I could see through them as well and the entire hallucination was a greenish color. Before I saw them a white smoke came in through the window, I've always wondered if it had anything to do with the area because Florida had many Native American tribes before the Trail of Tears.

Well, I saw The Chief while I was living in Las Vegas, NV. I have seen many ghosts and things, all of my life. I did learn the secrets of the Universe recently, and because of the trance I was put it, I almost ended up in the psychiatric ward. I practice non-violence, so it's not like I was a threat to anyone or myself, but I was yelling, and got the cops called on me. Boy did I see some crazy stuff though, I saw into the future, and I can tell you, that all of the stuff going on right now is making Planet Earth really upset, she is about to explode if we don't ALL WAKE UP. I felt her pain, it brought me to my knees.

Hey, the spirit world is real, and I am always aware of my physical surroundings when I make contact with the other side. I never forget who I am, where I am, what year it is, I am just simply, HERE and THERE at the same time. People, learn to use your light bodies! Stop calling us psycho! I am a nice girl!

Architvion: if you are Psychologist like you claim you would understand that you should leave diagnosing someone to the psychiatrists.

A diagnosis of schizophrenia is the mental health equivalent of giving a diagnosis of cancer.

I would add that ATS in general could be a very dangerous place for a schizophrenic. It's full of people preaching not to take pharma medication and others talking about alternative realities, higher plains of existence and any number of subjects that could potentially trigger or fuel a schizoid episode.

I feel sorry for the OP to have to endure this terrible affliction and will stress that regardless of what you read online, you must continue to take your meds.

Go in peace my friend.

i believe schizophrenics are seeing and experiencing things that are there, but that according to our society are make-believe.
once someone begins experiencing things like that with no logical explanation, other than "you're crazy" well, you go crazy.
you don't learn to work with you abilities, evolution of mind, you are taught that it is a demon to be feared and corrected.

i believe deja vu is maybe a glitch in the matrix.

schizophrenics (imo) are seeing *through* the matrix in different ways and they do not have a frame of reference to judge it as anything but a dysfunction.

A "glitch in the Matrix" is deja-vu. It's when something get's changed and an overlap is created. The Matrix slave experiences that overlap as repeating experiences.

"Schizophrenia" is not a glitch - it's just schizophrenia in the brain of the person in the pod. Schizophrenics are just regular people like other Matrix slaves, but they have a chemical imbalance in the brain which translates itself into the residual self-image you see in the construct.

It is scary to spend the whole night digging under the sink and through the linen closet for some puppies that your mother's dude is hiding, to sell for profit.

You saw and heard them there.... But they are not. They do not exist.

Still, the whole night is spent tearing everything apart to find these puppies.

In the morning, everyone is pissed at the mess.... And only looks of shame are produced when the story is told...


Just sayin'. Not admitting to have gone through any such experiences.

Life is weird.

I would have to disagree, I think the most damaging part of schizophrenia is the lack of understanding of whats happening to you. Im not going to discourage anyone from taking their meds, especially if it helps them, but reading about alternate topics and views may actually help such people understand their reality. Instead of just numbing your mind with anti-psychotics(which Ive taken once before, I know what they do) so you cant think, you have to slove the root of the problem too, meds just temporally cover up the problem, often after a few years the drugs dont work anymore...

My "uncle charlie" is a schizophrenic. He spent much of his life in and out of hospitals and institutions. I remember some of the things he would get worked up about while at family reunions and the occasional weekends he would show up for cook outs. A brief overview of some of his favorite topics: how "they" were poisoning the water supply to keep everyone "asleep". "They" put an implant in him that could track him anywhere and "radio" messages/instructions to him. He "worked for the CIA/NSA" and was being followed because he ran away, due to him discovering that they had wiped his memories and replaced them fake ones. He had been visited by aliens and been given the gift to "see the real "person" inside of a person. "They" were developing weapons with the power to "control the weather". The aliens had massive motherships miles wide using cloaking devices and monitoring earth. "They" communicated to him through the television using "low frequencies that people can't hear unless they have a receiver".
Now don't get me wrong, I KNOW that "uncle charlie" had some problems, real serious problems. "Uncle charlie" was toothless, my father beat him with my grandmothers high heeled shoe after he tried to kill her because she was an "alien that stole her skin".
But it seems to me that some of "uncle charlies" favorite subjects are actually real or at least may hold a grain of truth. Who knows maybe he wasn't as crazy as he seemed to be in the early to mid 80's.
BTW good thread OP.

Schizophrenia has been explained by some as the inability of someones brain to filter and exclude extraneous background 'noise'

this makes it very difficult if not impossible for them to separate junk from what they should be focusing on

and doesn't by any means mean that that they can't have epiphanies or flashes of insight like say Shamans who aren't schizophrenic


the OP would like to know from the viewpoint of someone not afflicted
what their take would be on this issue'

I donot have schizophrenia OP and I think that if schizophrenics experience a glitch in the Matrix ,it might just be a glitch in the Matrix but you must remember everyones Matrix is theirs alone so if you get a glitch you will be the only one who can see it

As opposed to laughing at someone who admits to having it?

@ OP ... Interesting thread ... I hope some of the answers give you some insight into whatever you are looking for
