spiritual awakening or psychosis ??

Has anyone ever had a day or a few hours where they actually worried if they were in fact mentally ill and not experiencing spirituality?

The reason I ask is that today is the 2nd time I’ve experienced this. Partially spurred on by someone suggesting to me that they’re worried about me engaging with spirituality and believing in spirits and reading into clairvoyant readings I’ve had. It has typically been triggered as well I believe by the fact I’ve not had as much sleep the night before.

Keen to hear people’s thoughts and experiences.

Well,in my experience,I keep my spirituality to myself apart from when I'm with likeminded people like here on the Forum or sometimes elsewhere.This is why I think this forum is so valuable.If you tell most people on the street etc,they'll think you are mad.lol.It's their problem,not yours.

There is a fine line between the two. Kundalini syndrome or Kundalini psychosis is a well-know and increasingly common phenomenon.

Exactly. I started to say to back to them whatever they said to me.
Example - "Well, I think you're crazy (fill in what they said) that you don't
have these exps."

Very soon, of course, I stopped telling this sorts of 'friends'.
It was obvious I was so happy and thrilled why on earth would anyone want to 'rain on your parade'?
I don't hang with them anymore...but am always my usual congenial self when I see them.

I happened to be friends with a circle of psychiatrists - one needing air in his tire and dropping in...
if he had dropped by during a 5 hour altered state,
he would have thought me psychotic, sure - that's what the world thinks of
mystical exps.
They're idiots - but God Bless 'em.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

let the dead bury their dead.

you want to get pulled down by people who live by their flesh and ego be my guest. or you can be a big girl and tear off the chains of illusion and keep progressing...

from a rational standpoint. don't share your spirituality with spiritually dead people. make sure you are sleeping. if you need help brainstorming ideas to sleep better let me know.

Thanks everyone. I think I've learned the hard way! People who haven't had exposure to this really don't want to hear about it and don't believe me in any case.

I guess I may have thought I was 'mad' too a few years ago!

Thanks! I hadn't been on since I made my initial few posts (It didn't seem that anyone was responding!!) - but I'm going to make an effort to come on regularly now.

I had been attending Reiki healing just before my awakening started and it's great I have her to speak to. And I now have a a bit of a network starting to build up from the spiritual church I've been attending. It's nice being able to discuss spiritual stuff without being labelled a nutter

I've spent a year living at the center of the Universe, where the world appeared to be revolving around me. It is a crazy ride. If you are on that path, search for spiritual advise to help you along the way. Remember that you are loved and you will survive.

Is there a large black hole at the center of the Universe?
