| It begins with a heightening of the senses and a feeling of deeper insight and greater energy. Everything takes on a spritual aura, depth, and meaning, everything. This is a very common phenomenon among the mentally ill, this spiritual cast to everything. It can be very confusing, overwhelmng, resulting in all sorts of odd permutations of thought and behavior. It is so common because, I believe, there is indeed a spritual dimension to everything. God inhabits the very fiber of the universe and binds it together as well. In our normal, modern Western existence, we are shielded from this aspect of reality because it is simply too much to bear.
But, when our brain chemistry becomes unbalanced, this veil is either lifted or our senses are made attuned to this aspect of realty. And we are eventually overhwelmed by it, if it does not subside.
Variations of the Messianic Complex are extremely common among the mentally ill. One feels as though one is somehow an extremely important and special person in the world, perhaps the most important, perhaps Christ, Himself. Such is understandable in this state. You feel so close to God, He makes you feel like the most special, the most unique, the most important person there is. We forget that He feels that way about everybody else in the world, too. Or, so I believe. <> |
