my experience is, that there is one spirit or guide that misleads and another that corrects the other, but not always in time, so the "wrong way" of thinking or doing sometime goes for a while. i am still not sure, if its both one spirit or two. sometimes its like a one spirit "show", but one of these or, if its only one decides nearly everything, maybe everything. it decides, when you fall in love, when you get sick, probably when you die, too. thats my impression.

I know exactly what your talking about.
I have two personality disorders, not diagnosed, diagnosis is for the wealthy apparently.
i don't know if i believe anything.
either i saw some messed up visions from the future (Armageddon?) when i was a child, or i experienced something terrible either way, what happened was my minds way of coping. my mind split in two. i believe both, but can't surrender completely to one belief. i just watch as these things i dreamed about years ago happen on the news. laugh at myself and call myself crazy.
any thoughts?

an american living in canada.
not for fear of anything, my family is Canadian, so we are here.
healthcare is as corrupt here as in the states. its just more available.
just as unavailable to me.
i did try though. talked to a few therapists until they realized i couldn't make them any money.

if they want to talk to a delusional disassociated antisocial personality then give them my email address.

i don't think i "need" it anymore, certainly not worth dealing with greedy self-centered therapists with personal issues.

its already scientifically proven that religion is a disease based in the brain. but then again with metaphysics we do have to power of mind over matter. god doesn't exist, because the power is in our own minds.

So for people who are convinced their spiritual experiences are real, what convinces you? I was reading about schizophrenic delusions and those sound similar to my own experiences except that my experiences are brief and infrequent.

Those of us who have been gifted to stand in the glory of God know it is no schizophrenic delusion. Standing in the presence of God will have different reactions on different believers. Some will pass out which is called "being slain in the Spirit" which happens as God walks passed you and the joy and love you feel literally overloads your spirit and knocks you out.
When i stood in his presence i felt joy, love, awe, reverence and an unsurmountable peace overcome me and i hit my kneels and knelt in front of him in obeisance and cried tears of joy (and i'm a man and not very emotional). I literally felt like i was standing in the presence of my King even though i couldn't see him i could feel him there. There's alot of my brothers and sisters that have had similar reactions.
Some will speak in different languages, that sounds like gibberish but Apostle Paul said if there is no one to interpret the message they are better off staying silent because the message is wasted.
Some believers are gifted with Jesus appearing to them and this is scriptural and rare. This usually happens after a believer has been baptized in holy fire and Jesus may appear to these at some later point as a confirmation of their faith. I have never seen him but i have been baptized in holy fire

My experiences have been different - even the experiences with a Christian theme. That is why I think they must be some kind of schizophrenia-like condition that only lasts for a few minutes. As I read about schizophrenics it sounds very much like myself at times.

If someone was that worried about they could simply have a psychological evaluation performed to determine the presence of any sort of psychopathy. Done. Simple.
