I agree but,
because I 'see'
all e-motion (
including anger, hate, fear, etc.) being
spiritual, only sort of.
Anger is spirit
ual.
Fear is spirit
ual. "I want what I want the way I want it"
Greed is spirit
ual. Schizophrenics are often 'freaked out' (become unbalanced, unglued, etc.) as a result of
their and others' e-motions of 'fear', 'anger', 'greed', etc. in relation to other aspects of 'the world' around them. They have to learn to recover and manage to maintain
relational 'balance' and 'connection'
in such 'predicament' if they are to become and continue to be
functional.
What I think
you, GS, are referencing are referencing as 'spiritual' - connection to and involvement with 'higher energies' etc. - is
generally (not always, now!)
dissociative in
purpose. This only exacerbates 'schizophrenia' which is essentially a 'dissociative'
disorder.
What 'schisophrenics' and (IMO) many 'spiritual' 'high flyers'
need if they are to be able to
engage in
positively functional relationships
with others is to '
ground' their 'spirituality' in the 'reality' of
this world, the world that, alongside with others, they
presently
actually (
really,
except when they are
off their 'rockers'
, that is) are em
bedded live 'in'.
