What it is about people having religious delusions of epic porportions and ranting about spiritual matters that is so appealing? Well, it's appealing to me because I've had them and I'm fascinated by them. Granted I am a Christian and believe all of what the Bible says, some experience similar experiences who don't believe in God. Nonetheless, what happens to me in mania to some degree would almost seem supernatural. It's as if the spiritual gifts inside of me manifest to their full potential, and I become the person at least spiritual I was destined to me. I don't stop or shut up about Christ, he's coming back soon I tell everyone, I pray deeper prayers, have dreams and do things that I cannot comprehend or normally experience. It's my job to, "Wake up the world." I'm on a divine mission my sick mind tells me. It's really no different than my regular mission as a believer in Christ. The Great Commission, to make disciples of all nations as Jesus says in the Bible. However, I'm pretty tame and disconnected from that mission in my opinion when I'm stable, at least compared to my manic mind. I can't understand why so many people have these religious experiences in mania, but I can't help to speculate my opinion of why. Maybe it's to get shit done for the Kingdom of Heaven, because if you've ever encountered a manic individual you know they are aggressive in nature! Of course this isn't always good, but maybe it is a good way to spread the Word for a short amount of time anyway. It's interesting that no one knows what causes mental illness. It could be a variety of different reasons that we'll never know. One things for certain...God works in mysterious ways and who can say for certain how He works? We don't know, but it is definitely interesting for sure.

AuthorI was diagnosed bipolar 1 in March of 2005. It's been a challenge to say the least to live with this disorder everyday. There has been some major ups as well as downs. It's just something I have to deal with. Everyone has their own problems and struggles to sort out and this is just one of mine. I'm not asking for anybody to feel sorry for me. I just want to educate those who don't know much about it, and if it helps out somebody along the way even better. Archives
