Psychosis or Spiritual Awakening: Phil Borges at TEDxUMKC

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.

“Birds born in a cage think flying is an illness.” ― Alejandro Jodorowsky

Enlightenment is like spiraling as high as possible in terms of mental realizations and then spiraling back down into the ultimate realization that you are still trapped in society’s prison

"The psychotic drowns in the same waters in which the mystic swims with delight." —Joseph Campbell, Psychology of the Future

Psychological crisis is exactly what led to my Spiritual Awakening! I survived narcissistic abuse!

enlightenment is only scary because we are not properly discussing it in our society.

Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction.imagine carrving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone.Believe it or not in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues

I started to feel this alienation from the time I became aware of my Self, around four years old. I was taught to lose my true self from an early age. I went on to live almost forty years of my life totally lost. Nothing brought contentment. There were times I would quit the corporate life and seek out opportunities to work in communities. Then I'd go back. The nervous breakdown arrived, so named by various doctors, along with much touted medications and psychotherapy. I'm finding myself finally. I noticed what is understood as synchronicity, since forever! This video in August 2023 caused another realisation. I spent time with an old woman from our community, from about 4 years old to about 8 years old. No one spoke to her. Her family ignored her. She was spoken of as "not right in the head". Now I know why she was my friend. We had to move away as families in our community were relocated during the apartheid years. I got separated from my guide. Now the spirit of my late mother is my guide. Whoever read this to the end, thanks for bearing with me.

Enlightenment will seem crazy to the unconscious ego.

Literally to the 1% who's reading this, God bless you, may all your dreams come true, may you be successful in all spheres of life, stay safe and have a wonderful day :)

"“Through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself. Through our ears, the universe is listening to its harmonies. We are the witnesses through which the universe becomes conscious of its glory, of its magnificence.” - Alan Watts

When he mentioned the two women, one about to return to the spirit world and one just coming from the spirit world it hit me - 🤯 that’s why I’ve always been drawn to young children, the elderly, and those with special needs. They’re closest to the spirit world!

You are not crazy, you will know who you are within divine timing. Be kind to yourself and be kind to others.

The spiritual awakening is painful but in the end you discover your own strength.

I was hospitalized and held under the mental health act at the hospital I work at as an ER nurse because I had a massive spiritual awakening… they only held me for 4 days because they knew my “behaviour” was likely to not be permanent. I broke, my friends were worried, I was seeing life and everything for what it was and I looked like a massive conspiracy theorist, from my stand point in health care. I am part aboriginal and come from a very spiritual background and have has psychic abilities… Some of the psychiatric patients on the ward are some of the smartest people I ever meet.

Had my awakening at 29 I just turned 32 a few weeks ago it’s been so crazy it’s been painful and healing at the same time so grateful . Trying to learn everything I can

I had a spiritual awakening due to narcissist abuse.. A psychological breakdown was actually a breakthrough.. I lost my mind and found my soul. From there my psychic abilities awakened and I became more aware and wiser for it. It was a gift. Those who are labelled crazy are in fact far from it. It's those who label that are in fact the crazy ones

Awakening is not changing who you are, but discarding who you are not.

This video was posted literally when I was hospitalized for 2 weeks for psychosis and I am finding it now. Gave me chills.

I struggled for years with a bipolar diagnosis and always even in childhood felt different even among friends like I didn’t feel like I felt in. My bipolar piqued at 35. About 6 months ago it’s like I was whacked on the head with an awakening and it made sense. Bipolar made sense. Modern medicine doesn’t understand spirituality but between that and anxiety, because I’m spiritual and a November scorpio I was hyper sensitive to energy, emotions, intuition, premonition dreams, lucid dreams, synchronicities, I didn’t know anyone then into spirituality and I realized recently it’s because I’ve always had these strange phenomenons, feeling every emotion to the 10th power and didn’t understand what it was and how to channel it and it overwhelmed me. What I despised bitterly as a cross to bear was a cloaked gift I resonate with now. And I’ve had inner peace like never before. We aren’t mentally ill. We have the gift of super sensory perception and it’s scary until you realize what it is.
