Psychosis
Psychosis is
widely misunderstood throughout society. Even the so called
professionals of the psychological and psychiatric communities do not
understand its genesis or what is actually occurring. As with all so
called mental problems, metaphysics is essential to a proper
understanding. Without the knowledge of how consciousness incarnates
into matter and the various subtle bodies and energies required there
will always be confusion. Most psychiatrists and psychologists work from
a framework of beliefs which state that consciousness cannot exist
without the brain and therefore the brain is you. They will freely admit
that there is no proof that this is the case but have decided to base
their research and theories upon the assumption that the brain is where
consciousness comes from. It is a shame that when you base a theory on
something untrue that your theory cannot be accurate.
So the
professionals who treat Psychosis patients as well as Schizophrenics and
other disorders do not really understand what is happening to the
patient and therefore do not know how to treat them. Often such patients
are locked up in Psych wards and seen by the doctor once a day (if that)
for a few minutes. The treatment is basically a resume of antipsychotic
drugs which adjust the various neurochemicals within the brain. As well
as these drugs the patient will be told that they are sick, they are
experiencing delusions and hallucinations etc and that this means they
are psychotic. The doctors do not delve into the patient’s subconscious
with regression or hypnosis techniques as they themselves are not
experienced in these areas. If a doctor has not thoroughly explored
his/her own subconscious with such techniques and meditation they are
not qualified to perform them on others. They would be dealing with
issues that they cannot understand and the technique could actually be
dangerous if used by such a doctor.
The drugs used to
treat psychosis effect the brain in such a way that the astral body and
chitta are disconnected. This disconnects the patient from many of their
samskaras and also reduces the vibration of their etheric and physical
bodies which slows down mental activity. A disconnection from the lower
chakra's also occurs leading to a loss of sex drive and loss of feeling
in the genitals. So in effect the drugs reduce all sensations coming
from the subtle bodies of the patient. The extreme symptoms are
therefore reduced and the patient seems much less chaotic. The problem
is that the subtle bodies are still in chaos, they have simply been
disconnected and so the chaos does not incarnate as strongly. The
chaotic astral body and chitta have not been healed or cleared in any
way and when the drugs are stopped there is a good chance that the
psychosis will reoccur. For this reason it is often the case that once
someone has a psychotic episode they are told by doctors to stay on the
drugs for a long period possibly the entire life “just in case”.
So what is
Psychosis? To understand this we must look at the ego structure which is
basically crystallization in the astral body and chitta. The
crystallizations are formed in the first place to protect the individual
from emotional pain coming from within (because of past traumas and
disconnection from the person’s essence or spirit) and to keep negative
outside influences at bay. On top of this there is further conditioning
which are learned responses to the outside world and how to navigate
through society. The successful ego structure keeps internal emotional
pain to a minimum and successfully deals with the outside world with a
minimum of anxiety. The very successful structure will fulfill its
desires through interaction with the world. An unsuccessful structure
can be seen as one that fails to keep internal emotional pain to a
minimum, and/or cannot deal with everyday life effectively and without
high levels of anxiety. Of course the actual ego can be anywhere between
these two extremes.
If the ego
structure fails to keep internal emotional pain at bay, the structure is
not solid and may be in a state of flux. Similarly if the environment is
hard to negotiate, the anxiety from outside could lead to the
instability of the ego structure. So for whatever reason, if the ego
structure is unstable it is possible for parts of it to change suddenly.
For example a major samskara could suddenly come to the surface and
release the emotions locked within, causing a part of the crystallized
astral to open. When this occurs, higher vibrating parts of the Light
body may enter into the astral body which may raise its vibration and
make it even more unstable. So the astral body becomes chaotic very
suddenly and at the same time higher energies have entered into the
person’s consciousness. The person experiences the higher energies and
feels invincible, spiritually awakened and extremely special. To a
Psychiatrist these symptoms are called grandiose delusions. As the
person still has a very chaotic astral body or ego structure they
misunderstand what is happening. The ego feels these forces of higher
consciousness and comes to its own conclusions such as "I am Jesus
reincarnated", "I have reached Enlightenment", "I can Fly" etc. The
forces that the individual feels are of higher consciousness and feel so
powerful. It feels so real because it is real. Spiritual
realities are far more real than life on earth and when experienced
through the ego the person cannot help believing its truth. As
they have no foundation or true knowledge to put the experience into
context they interpret the spiritual forces they are experiencing
and create delusions like "I am Jesus".
To a Psychiatrist,
who also has no basis for conceptualizing such experiences and who has
not had the experience themselves it is simply delusion but what
use is it to tell someone they are completely delusional when they feel
as though the experience is more real than anything they have ever felt
before. Part of the experience is completely real, the feelings of
grandeur are exactly how the spirit feels. Do you think God does not
feel Grand? It is only the interpretation that is a delusion.
Because of the
higher consciousness the person will likely see the falseness of others
egos, societies norms and values and indeed the fakeness of themselves.
Their own ego is exposed as a fraud very suddenly by their experience of
higher consciousness. Seeing yourself as a fraud is not easy but while
the higher forces are incarnating it feels great and it can be seen
clearly. Unfortunately the very same ego that has been seen as a fraud
is the one that is creating the delusions. Also if the person’s third
eye is activated sufficiently there will be hallucinations. Even though
the third eye is seeing into other realities and the hallucinations are
based on this actual vision they will often be distorted by the ego.
With the activated third eye and chaotic chitta the imagination of the
Psychotic can be so vivid that it seems real. Indeed some of what the
psychotic may see is actual Hallucination.
Because the astral
bodies vibration has been raised by the influx of light and possible
activation of chakra's and other structures, it becomes extremely
chaotic. All the crystallization and ego structure that kept certain
thoughts and emotions separate and kept things running smoothly is
thrown into absolute chaos. The chitta is whirling around at amazing
speeds and the person can think very fast. Their IQ has probably risen
significantly as a result but there are so many thoughts running around
that they cannot stay sane or focused.
The past merges with the present, hallucinations with delusions of
grandeur and the person has gone insane. The person can no longer grasp
reality, cannot read other people and may think that the whole world is
against them. Paranoia becomes amplified and the types of delusions
created become worldlier: "Mum wants to lock me up in a mental
hospital", "my girlfriend wants to kill me", "everyone is out to get
me", the FBI is watching me".
After a while the
astral body will calm down and the higher forces will disconnect
gradually. The extreme delusions will reduce and thoughts slow down. The
astral body and chitta's vibration will slow down to normal but they
will have been affected greatly by the episode. The realization that
your ego is a fraud is far more painful when you end up right back in it
and lose the grandeur of higher consciousness. The astral has been
shaken up by higher consciousness and will take a long lime to settle
down. Depression and anxiety are very likely and a slow process of
rebuilding the sense of self will begin.
At this point the patient can try to become normal again or begin the
clearing process and try to reach higher consciousness for good and with
clarity. For this the vibration of the etheric and physical must be
gradually raised while the astral body is cleared of all past emotional
conditioning. The decisions made will likely rest on what beliefs are
held after the episode. Does the person believe that they simply had a
Psychotic episode which needs to be treated by antipsychotic drugs or do
they believe that they experienced a spiritual awakening which needs to
be treated by further spiritual transformation and incarnation?
