When its basis is not organic, schizophrenia is a spiritual situation....a bona-fide spiritual condition. Medical psychiatry must awaken to spirituality. Until then, psychiatry is not the bastion of reality it thinks it is.

Psychiatry must reject the nonsense that the fabric of human consciousness is brain matter in favor of accepting the psyche's reality...that it is soul matter...the incarnation of spirit. As spirit, the psyche's environment includes a profoundly spiritual one.

In the schizophrenic experience consciousness is being bombarded with messages from the domain of spirit. These very abstract and usually scary messages and cognitions are similar to very disconcerting dreams. These messages seek to communicate true reality as opposed to the illusion of life.

The Mind
To understand all of this properly it is imperative to have a full understanding of the mind, a prolific tool of consciousness, which has a number of functioning levels.

First Level
The mind is the organ of memory. We store memory in the mind and, with its memory retrieval function, the mind sends memory to our consciousness.

The brain is not the organ of memory, nor is memory stored in the psyche. The human body, in its entirety, is the mind. Memory, then, is stored outside of the psyche, in the body/mind…memories of our thoughts and of our perceptions.

Emotions also get lodged in the mind. When we do not express our emotions their energies automatically flow into, and are improperly stored in, the mind.

Our emotional problems result from such storage. The mind automatically sends emotion back to the psyche to be removed...and, thus, distresses it. To heal, we must lower our mental barriers (the ego), embrace and express the emotion.

Second Level
The mind is a metaphysical entity that transcends the human body. As such, the mind is analogous to the universe. Actually, there is only one mind in the entire universe…this is because the universe is the mind.

Your body, as your personal portion of the universe, is your portion of the one mind. When you store memory in your body/mind it lodges, as well, in the greater universe. As such, your memory rubs elbows with everyone else's memory.

This domain is known as the universe/mind. Spiritual psychiatrist Dr. Carl Jung was referring to it when he lectured on the collective unconscious. Hinduism calls it the spiritual domain of Akasha, where the Akashic records (memory and knowledge of all our past lives) are stored. Zen Buddhism calls it alaya consciousness or "the storehouse".

All knowledge stored in the universe/mind, since the beginning of time, is available to everyone at both the conscious and subconscious levels. This is confirmed with applied kinesiology, also called muscle testing.

This universal-memory database is the basis of psychic phenomena…and the basis of mental disturbances for people who are not aware they are psychically sensitive such as children that have been misdiagnosed as autistic.

Third Level
Jesus said, "The kingdom of God is within you." He meant it literally.

When you imagine anything, the image enters the mind and is stored there. When you close your eyes to imagine things, you are as much in your mind as are the images. Keep in mind that your body is mind, and you exist in your body...therefore you exist in your mind.

If, with eyes shut, you imagined yourself ascending very high up into the mind or descending very far down into the mind, at some point you will encounter the domain of spirit...and those that dwell there. As incredible as this sounds, this is a profound fact of life.

Shamans (spiritual healers) take such mind journeys to obtain spiritual knowledge to heal the sick. (Google all of this on the internet. Study a number of different websites.)

These two domains, called the upper and lower worlds, will at times erupt spontaneously upon the consciousness of people who are unaware that they exist.

They will have bizarre spiritual experiences visited upon their conciousness from these spiritual domains located in the mind, and they will think they are going mad. Spiritually ignorant medical psychiatry will diagnose them as schizophrenic.

A video on youtube.com shows a woman sharing what she thought was her schizophrenic experience...that she did not know where the chair she was sitting in ended and where she began.

This explains her experience: All that exists is not only created by God but is made of God. God became the universe. God is the fabric of the universe and everything that is in it.

Thus, the fabric of the chair is God, and the fabric of her body also is God. If both are God then there really is no difference between the two of them. She saw true reality, not the illusion.

Another spiritual situation that can create havoc upon the psyche is a sudden kundalini awakening. (Google this on the internet, as well.)

To resolve these very challenging situations you must reject your ego. You must stop identifying with your ego in favor of identifying with the soul that you are. Once your ego has been dissolved your condition will be resolved.

Multiple Personalities
Multiple personalities is viewed as a fragmenting of the psyche and is called schizophrenia. But, it is the ego that fragments, not the psyche. When a person fails at something in life his ego creates other personalities to compensate for the one that failed.

Dr. John W. Perry, Jungian psychiatrist and author of The Other Side Of Madness, described multiple-personality schizophrenia as a process initiated by stress wherein "highly activated mythic images erupt from the psyche's deepest levels"…turbulent visionary experiences erupting from the mind's deep domain of archetypal phenomena. (This is a spontaneous journey.)

Perry recognized this as a spiritual healing process that "must play itself out to its natural healing end." Clients came out of it stronger than they went into the process…"weller than well"…concurrent to the demise of the ego. The majority of his schizophrenic clients improved with no medications…and "after leaving most went on growing."

Dr. Carl Jung also viewed this challenge as a self-healing process…a spontaneous initiation of spiritual emergence whose ultimate goal is growth of the soul.

Dr. Perry said: "It is justifiable to regard the term 'sickness' as pertaining not to the turmoil of the psychotic personality but to the pre-psychotic personality, which stands in need of profound reorganization."

Thus, prior to fragmenting...as ego determines it is in need of reorganization that is the sickness stage...sickness of the ego...its inability to be reconciled to (something in) life failing.

Then it reorganizes...which is the personality switching...and medical psychiatry mistakenly calls it fragmenting of the psyche. Dr. Perry further said: "… the renewal process that occurs during what we call the acute psychotic episode…" (i.e., the fragmenting) "…may be considered nature's way of setting things right"...which can only be the demise of the ego.
