i saw a thread regarding parapsychology and mental illness, and i'm aware of some opinions, regarding an explanation of paranormal events, made by people on this board.
several years ago, i went through a very intense paranormal experience. one that i describe as spiritual in nature. i was 37 when this happened to me. up until that time, and going through it, i was as sane as anyone, and i have a lifetime to prove that. i actually think i dealt with it really well...considering.
it was very isolating, and frustrating. and it damn near drove me insane trying to deal with it...trying to reconcile it...alone. because if you don't live through it, you can not understand. i had tons of family and friends who really loved me. and it's because of them, that i had to take an objective look at my behavior and change it.
i had a conversation with my mother on the way to a funeral one evening, and i proposed that if the insane were to take an objective look at their lives, and in comparison with other people around them, surely they would realize that their behavior was not constructive, beneficial, or for all intents and purposes, right. and my mother looked at me like i was insane.
so this is what i wonder...
i wonder if it is those who can not and will not reconcile paranormal experiences who end up chained to hospital beds?
