- Schizofreni er en lidelse hvor symptomer blant annet kan involvere hallusinasjoner og vrangforestillinger. Psykoselidelse omhandler å oppleve en virkelighetsbrist. Schizofreni er dermed karakterisert som en psykoselidelse. I denne gjennomgangen snakker jeg om noen årsaksfaktorer, omfang, samt symptomuttrykk. Schizofreni betyr "splittet sinn", men det må ikke blandes med splittet personlighet.

Schizophrenia is like an extreme form of openmindedness. Your mind/consciousness is so abnormally open that reality itself becomes less material and more fluid - similar to being on mushrooms. This kind of openness correlates with high creativity because a lot more novel ideas are floating into your field of consciousness. But your mind is so open that these ideas literally start to morph your material world. A coffee table could start talking to you and giving you novel ideas. The trade-off is that your mind is less buttoned-up, so it literally starts to feel like you're going insane.
How would you react if all the sudden your coffee table started to talk to you? Would you be open to listening, or would you freak out and run to the doctor to put yourself on meds to suppress it? Most people would freak out because they don't have a proper context for it. Under the materialist paradigm the only context is that you're going insane. But if you understand how consciousness works then there's really nothing wrong about it, you just have an extra-open mind.
What ordinary humans consider to be "hallucinations" not really hallucinations (since everything is a hallucination), they are just God's imagination - Infinite Imagination - at work in non-ordinary states of consciousness.
