I agree with your idealistic perspective of our peculiar ways of filtering the world. Eradicate the stigma! Unfortunately, I did what you suggested -- my principles R unshakable; Not a good career decision. I refused to move to the back of the bus and became a Pariah in retaliation. I have internalized the experiences you point out. So my question is, now what? that's rhetorical, of course.
I love this video and the rest of yours, but you have one thing slightly inaccurate. At around 5:30 you speak of the ego and soul. Yes the ego is the false self and soul more akin to the true Self, that part's accurate, but more ego than soul is not depression just as mania is not more soul than ego. Both states are ego. The true Self is found within when balanced and whole. So mania and depression are polarized states of up and down the ego experiences. The soul or Self is balanced and within.
Very clever video! Kudos. It takes a lot of intellectual effort to talk about bipolar disorder in a non-threatening, lighthearted, and deadly serious about its message. Very impressive.
@Jackfrostyful: thx, but it doesnt get better. I've been planning my suicide for months and im not afraid of death anymore. Its been my time for awhile now.
State of mania is natural spiritual and metaphisical state, without any drugs. I know that im my brain I have a better drug than any other, that changes way of feeling, thinking and living. But sometimes it's frightening. Not only goodness and love is around us on every level. Enlightement may be used another way too.
It's fascinating. In my manic epizode I wrote a book titled "'Life without Walls". But then in hipomania I thought that walls must stay, I may cross them (the walls of my ego) when I want, but it's difficult to live in this world without walls of ego. But after this experience these walls are not real. They are for those, who are not ready to understand and to hear. I started to talk less and in much more simple way. It's easier not to lost contact with this world and people, that surrond you.
sounds like the typical anti christ spirit, and a lot what was said was a twisted copy of what Jesus already has said and declared in his Word, the bible, because all satan can do is copy Jesus, only Jesus creates, satan can only counterfeit and imitate, so basically this guy is saying what Jesus has already said and declared, and he doesnt even know it, and is putting his own spin and twist on it also, i watched out of curiosity but felt like throwing up, it's pure darkness
The only discrepancies I have with this otherwise thoughtful examination of "Why we're Bipolar" is, 1. The very mention of the word religion, as religion is taught, followed, and does not require the "follower" to truly "Know Thyself", which is key, as personal experience is the best teacher, imho. Perhaps mysticism is the term to stick to? 2. What was mentioned about "the need for borders" (as far as nations are concerned), as borders seperate, isolate, and control by design, as does religion.
@KickinShadows Thoughtful criticism. I forget how i used the word religion. As for, "borders seperate, isolate, and control by design, as does religion." I think the same point can be made for both...Both borders and religion also give people structure, meaning and security. Are they limiting, yes. But, at this point in our development, some people need them (and some don't). And, as I mentioned, if all of the world's borders were dropped today, we would fall into total chaos.
@bipolarorwakingup I can see from your perspective, but at the same time, is it not religion that created a lot of the world's ills to begin with? As far as the world being thrown into chaos if all borders were removed... I feel that it would ultimately bring a return to harmony. I recommend looking into chaos theory & fractal geometry. More importantly, I find the writings/works of Jiddu Krishnamurti to be "must reads" for any "Free Thinker" or anyone seeking meaning, truth, or understanding.
Great videos, my friend. I must add that hallucinogenic drugs, for a select minority of the population, are a fantastic thing. It is impossible to comprehend the way a person under the influence of such drugs thinks and feels without having experienced it yourself. Occasionally, such experiences can be so mystical that they change the way you perceive the world... forever.
Great video. I could relate to all of this. I am a little bit of a user and it has opened my mind up quite a bit. But I really look up to you, a non user, for having such a humble and open mind. Well said
this is awsome !!! must move on posting Diabetes and related complications like hyperglycemia, ketoacidosis, pancreatitis, coma, and death. These side effects can develop at any point during treatment, but we know whats best for you. Its our bussiness to sell drugs, that cause disability, and psychological suffering.
There are No lab tests,MRIs, brain scans, X-rays or chemical imbalance tests that can verify any mental disorder is a physical condition. -Victim of Psychiatry
The part around 5:19 really resonates with me...I feel like my Ego has taken my Soul hostage. I'm not clinically depressed but certainly feel very blue all the time and think about how I can revive my Soul everyday.
@Fanatic2020 Your ego, or conditioned "self" (which happens to be the root of the term "selfishness"), made that choice for you... Think outside the box and a whole new level of understanding, concerning who you/we are, what reality is, as well as what reality isn't, will be yours for the perceiving. If you are more of the "I have to see it in order to believe it" (old school scientific) type, I would suggest a dip of the toes into physics, @ the quantum level to be specific. - γνῶθι σεαυτόν -
@Fanatic2020 Its not about the psychedelics themselves, its about the different angles of perspective that it allows one to view and evaluate ones life. Maybe you haven't learned anything about yourself or your life with the aid of psychedelics, but I sure as hell have and I know there are millions of others that have too. Steve Jobs said his LSD experiences were among the 2 or 3 most important events in his lifetime. Just because you didn't benefit doesn't make them "fucking stupid".
No, that's what he thinkings is important, but in reality it doesn't help you at all. Anybody who believes it is should just revoke their right to speak freely.
What the hell have these psychedelics taught you?
That's a totally different situation, I don't have a vagina, so I have no reason to use them. LSD and shrooms are suposed to be mind expanding to anybody, regardless of sex. Nice Try.
@Fanatic2020 I didn't say the psychedelics taught me anything. Did you not read my last comment?
Of course its a different situation, wise one. I was making a comparison between the two; neither are beneficial to YOU, personally.
Scientists are showing that psychedelics can in fact be beneficial and there are millions of people that have been positively effected by them. You should try to research things a little before you bash them. Don't be so close minded.
It's not a personal matter that it doesn't benefit me, it's genetics. Nothing personal about it.
"Maybe you haven't learned anything about yourself or your life with the aid of psychedelics, but I sure as hell have" You did indeed say that psychedelics taught you something, what is it?
I experienced them first hand and gave them a chance, how is that close minded? If I don't agree with all of your bull shit beliefs?
How about you try not to be close minded to my beliefs that they are worthless.
"Maybe you haven't learned anything about yourself or your life with the aid of psychedelics, but I sure as hell have" What the hell does this mean then?
@Fanatic2020 It's unfortunate that you didn't have a good experience with psychedelics. I hear both sides happen, good and bad. I ate shrooms once, about a year ago and it was the most wonderful thing that has happend to me yet in my life. I felt connected spiritually in a way I've never felt, an all knowingness had overcome me. Fortunately for me I had a good experience and because of it I have a succesful carreer as a fashion designer. I hope one day you will experience such a happiness.
It will get better. You will cope and you will find ways to appreciate that you have it. Makes no sense now but trust me. You have to work hard at something and find something to respect within yourself. Trust me...
I think anyone who watches the entire series will see that I encourage a lot of support to be in place if a person chooses to work through a manic psychosis. Two people MUST be with you at all times, and any dangerous items must be removed from the area. But if a person is protected, in a safe, secure environment and is open to working through the process, serious injuries are rare. See the book, Soteria House. That clinic was open 12 years and they had only 10 minor injuries.
and also after watching your video I finally "see" what everyone's been talking about about this "shift in consciousness". Those spiritual teachers are describing a world where people have the hypomania without the depression? and that's achieved by not attaching yourself to your ego which filter the possibilities? I've been listening to those teachers for years and never quite understood it until now I've experienced the "acute psychosis"! I wonder if this thought will hold validity tomorrow XD
Thanks for posting these videos, almost everything you described a bipolar person feeling is what I've been feeling ever since I started university a couple of years ago but never put it down to perhaps bipolar.
I had an "acute psychosis" for a couple of hours last night, but it was quite controlled...I just felt a massive rush of energy and a less inhibited when communicating with family, but even a day after I'm seeing the world slightly different :) it was induced by transcendental meditation
@supervanscott See video on "Grand Epileptic Seizure". Epilepsy may be something to run its course. Acute pscychosis definitely is, if the person in crisis is receptive to working through it. I´ve done this many times now.
@supervanscott I'd agree that meds will be essential for the survival and functioning for some people - but meds will never, ever lead to any sort of liberation from normal society. They keep you in place, playing your role and surviving. That is all.
Great videos, i love them so much!! btw I'm totally the mystic/poet/scientist you prophesied about in the later part of your video *sarcasm*. But i did upload some that hopefully ppl with bipolar can relate to. good luck in your journey to help people around the world!
I literally just said the words "It's like my thinking is a prison" right before I came to YouTube and, for some reason, clicked on this video. Like maybe a minute before.
But, these videos will be helpful while defending my views and arguments when my mother and his father decide to sit down and listen to what I have to say. I believe I've almost killed my ego completely, and every word you say resonates within me. I recongise myself in them. Thank you man! Thanks for spreading the wisdom we all should embrace! PEACE
@mexicanmusicfreak Great that you enjoy the videos, but don't get your hopes up about your parents being persuaded by them. Usually parents are too closed minded and afraid to listen to ANY other perspective.
@bipolarorwakingup What do you advice me to do in this situation? They told me I could go visit him, but that I was not allowed to tell him any of this info. They don't want to hear about it, and ironically have told me I might end up myself in one of those places months before this happened to my stepbrother. Because I had an awakening during my trip round South America. What can I do to help my brother? I cannot let it happen. They might change him for good. Please, all advice is very welcome!
Fantastic work my friend! I'm truly grateful to have found your channel!
My stepbrother was diagnosed Bipolar Disorder a few days ago and was forced by the police to be taken to a Psychiatric Center. I'm the only one against it, for I know they're goal is to make him "normal" = real crazy. I'm totally against meds and they're inhuman treatments.
when i smoke pot i get very esoteric and believe god is sending me messages on the radio and in other ways. i quite enjoy getting these messages. makes me feel like i am not alone in this world. i have bipolar 1, with chronic depression. i am sober now, but i was always smoking medical marijuana for years to try and suppress my sadness.....
I got tinnitus,so I cant get high (My tinnitus seems to turn into auditroy hallucinations that scare the shit outta me when high),Cant hear properly,and everything seems so dull.How the fuck am I supposed to live like this? Not fuckin fair.
Yes I always am burdened with shit in the real world, constantly depressed and lost. The only time I feel free is when I experiment with hallucinogens.
@TheXavierConspiracy I loved me some hallucinogens. I'm scared to try them now since I've been diagnosed. And I'm scared because of thinking about being scared.- if that makes sense- I was always confident that it would be a blast. Always was. Miss that. Damn. When I hear someone say "lost" I know they've been there. Have you tried antidepressants? Are you on the same antidepressant you've been on for a while? The efficacy of the drug can lower over a period of time. Do you have a best friend???
@sofgomsol How do you feel when you take seroquel? I mean, not when it suppresses your third eye, but before and right after you have taken it. Does it satisfy to gulp it? Or does it feel wrong, in some sense?
@sofgomsol "If you are going to be crazy you have to get paid for it, otherwise you're going to be locked up" - the famous Hunter S. Thompson. If you aren't an artist, you better be taking your meds. I do. I'd hate to experience life by myself and if I "wake up" as Sean says...I will lose many contacts, I can do irreversable damage(for lack of a better term) due to my eccentric and UNHEALTHY behavior. It is a choice! Don't get sucked in - a symptom of the disease is thinking that one is ok!
what can I do when I feel that I cannot live without seroquel???? during three days I didnt take my pills, and I saw something beautiful the last night, I saw wonderful hexagons, geometry of light rounding all my body, they were green and white, it was something beautiful!!!! it was an experience out of this world!!! and I wasnt dreaming!!! then I discover this thing is called Merkabah, and it was exactly what I saw... but I feel that I cannot live without seroquel...
Interesting. But I simply can't handle my depression and I'm too fearful to try and let nature take it's course. It's just too dark. In Leary's "Your Brain is God" he states that you must take responsibility for making your own life beautiful. I believe I am by taking my meds.
yeah i think i might have this. i always thought about this when i was young. i have social anxiety & i found out i just been overreacting sort of from bad past exp. anyways great job breaking it down.
i have a much better understandig of the soul and ego now. i guess when people take dmt,lsd,shrooms to much their no longer that connected to the world. their on the other side
so true about how you tend to be more bipolar if you have expierenced more than enough mental pain at a young age... I'm bipolar, last year one of my friends comitted suicide, my parents divorced when I was 8, i already get too much ridicule at school, my parents don't understand me or take me seriously, Im 13 years old, I have anger issues and i know it is a direct link to all the trauma I have had to go through
where you say "when ego overcomes the soul..." i use to say "when the idea of life overcomes life itself..." what a coincidence, huh? :) Your videos are a confirmation for my mind. I'm really smiling. Big hug!
This is the best video I have ever seen in my whole life. And I say that as a YT addict.
You nailed it man. You quasi took my thoughts and presented them in an entertaining way. You even used the same words I use when I think about my condition. Amazing. Maybe we are soulmates or something. Thank you very much.
heres an interesting thing; spending time with my bi-polar girlfreind during her manic phase has helped me disolve my own ego and allowed me to heal my own psyche, even though im not bi-polar. We smoke cannabis together and i allow myself to enter her world and allow her to take charge. its often terrifing, usually chaotic and always exhausting but strengthens one faith because the danger is never real - only perceived. we are always well taken care of!
Well, it's not true in every case. My gf is bipolar and she met a bipolar guy in the hospital and were going at it sexually, disregarding the consequences of her actions. When she snapped out of mania and hypomania, she regrets the whole fling with the guy. Now, this bipolar guy she met also was schitzo. The guy doesn't take his meds and stalked my gf and tried to burn my house. We had to move because of this stalker. We had called the cops on him but the cops don't want to deal with him anymore
bipolar is kinda fun... sometimes it feels like im losing connection with the world and i find that interesting even though its scary sometimes, just look at your fears in the face... they wont bite ;)
@DoctorYoon " bi polar is kinda fun"....etc Ermm, I do not know what u have been diagnosed with but if u think bi polar is " kinda fun", may I suggest u do not have bi polar ? Of all the descriptions u could possibly use to describe bi polar , I would suggest it would be like describing having cancer is " kinda fun". R U sure this isn't the everyday moods that everyone gets that u r confusing with bi polar?. Perhaps u r attention seeking or something? Bi polar IS NOT KINDA FUN.
@scabycat It is... i take my manic episodes in the right direction, like being productive... I use my depression to reflect and to know more about myself... its not easy to have this attitude yes i understand but I have learned to live with it... if you werent such a coward you would too... I also take supplements that help ease the depression, it helps to put me to sleep... grab life by the fucking horns and stop being such a pussy whiner...
@DoctorYoon I suggest u have NEVER had depression. U R probably one of these people who gets a headache and insists its a brain tumour. U simply would not use the type of language u do to describe true clinical depression where u r literally at the gates of hell. Why not stop wasting peoples time on these pages- perhaps get a hobby or something. Leave these pages for people who are genuinely ill and need help- not just trying to seek attention. have a nice life
@scabycat I don't think you understand what kind of culture im from and how we deal with this kind of thing. In Korean culture it is taboo to say you have mental problems. If I were to tell my parents I am depressed they would just look at me and tell me to get over it. If my depression were to interfere with school even one bit I would get it beaten out of me... this is how it has been since I was a kid, sure I had to see psychologist in secret, but we don't like to talk about that...
@DoctorYoon" If I tell my parents I am depressed they would just look at me and tell me to get over it"..... etc OR they might say - " grab life by the fucking horns and stop being such a pussy whiner" ha!!
@scabycat exactly my point... you know im not making this up... i would tell you the story of my manic episode that got me kicked out of my university but not in public
I've been watching a lot of your videos and you have a very good point about the spiritual emergency which I had not come across before. You really opened my eyes to what was happening to me. I was lucky that I didn't get scared and run to a doctor, although I might at some point out of curiosity. My first proper mania, I though I was enlightened. And still see it that way. As long as I have good family and firends to understand me I can actually know that the depression is worth it man!
And i'm trying not to look at all that like you something you have to fight with (I think fighting makes you even more troubles and stress), i'm really trying to find peacfull way to balance myself and let my soul out and put it somehow in borders of real life so I can function normally. To be honest, i still didn't reslise how actually to do it, but at age 30 i feel like i'm going trough teenage period again and i'm very confused.
This is absolutely amazing video! As I know, I don't have bipolar disorder, i never had mania you described in previous videos, and I never was deeply depressed to the level i can't function in the real world. But interesting things is that I do have periods when I feel "high" and soo good and ME, so when my soul dominate. BUt I also have periods when i feel like i caig, surrounded with real life and my ego. Even i don't have strong symptoms like you guys, trust me I understand that conflict!
@bipolarorwakingup ive done DMT before a few times, thats the strongest psychedelic in the world, ive been to my true state, i create sadness when i come back to this world, cuz this is hell, heaven comes when u die or transcend the ego like u state here. but its easier said than done, what keeps me going is that I feel like im a warrior and no one can stop me, not even institutions. the only that gets me is the awkwardness with the ladies, u should make a vid about that, the dating part of it
@IAMLEGEND2545 I'm with ya,,,,I think everyone is bipolar but just in different degree. Some of us can hide it pretty well and for only so long. Some can not hold it in at all and are labeled.
cool actually these video's actually explain what Ive gone through.. am going through. I contemplated asphyxiating myself with laughing gas because i didn't care about anything nothing mattered its all just a transitory and pointless experience, the idea of dying and letting it all go made me feel so euphoric it actually got me excited and to i still get annoid from time to time that i didnt justdo it.
Respond to this video... Hey man, you bought the ticket, now take the ride. I strongly urge anyone considering suicide to think very carefully. How will you know how your life will turn out if you don't still around to see the end of the movie?
@bipolarorwakingup but its a shit movie, i don't care about any of the characters they have no depth anyway, movies are made because this life is so boring. People use their imagination to escape the mundane. man i just woke up...still want to asphyxiate myself first thing in the morn.
@OneMove33 I guess one other thought. Has it ever passed you mind that if you kill yourself you will, most likely need to come back and start all over again? I've seen enough of the spirit world to believe in God and reincarnation. And I think if you kill yourself, you'll only end up in a worse situation afterwards. But that's just me.
First of all.. Do you realize you are speaking 100 miles an hour? One more thing you idiot, if someone is fucked with depression ,do you think he can really concentrate on all the bullshit thats coming out of tour mouth? How do you know what you're saying is TRUE?
@satoop I agree. So then the question becomes, does the theory help you understand your own feelings, your own process. If yes, then use it. If no, then toss it aside.
this is not the real world and people can't see it. I AM BIPOLAR AND THIS IS ME RIGHT NOW BUT I WILL WAKE UP ONE DAY, BUT FOR NOW I AM TRAPPED IN THIS MATRIX...
CONTINUED- applies to mania (I have severe depression not bipolar) and until now I haven't been able to figure that out... but your videos seem to suggest that someone with bipolar might just be more emotional than your average person and really experiences intense emotion. But because of headmind or ego/social rules this is often supressed and they fall into depression. I gota go but I look forward to responses, i may write more
@88bananapeels I think you are on the right track, however my videos focus on those labeled Bipolar ONE, which usually involves 'acute psychosis' often loaded with spiritual material. It is a state that can be dangerous if you are unattended, as you may try and test reality and hurt yourself. So, which BD is not a disease, it is a condition that needs to be taked seriously. Keep thinking! And keep watching!
CONTINUED- and this is basically the seat of the ego or conformist self. So I just put 2 and 2 together and say wait.. don't most all mental disorders have onset in adolescence or early adulthood.. how coincidental. So this helped explain what i think is the reason for my depression (not allowing me to be me, and feel the emotions that are mine, so i hide them and depress them because of the ego) and maybe for many other's mental disorders as well. I have been trying to figure out how this idea
Look up reverse dash therapy dot com and read the description pages (first 2). It has a similar theory but doesn't go into explaining bipolar. Basically there is something called bodymind (emotions, intuition, the expressive free side, meant to keep us happy and alive) which we have naturally (found in the limbic system of our brain- emotion centers) and as we grow into adolescence our prefrontal cortex grows (headmind, the conservative conformist, analytical mind
I work with hypnosis and guide peoples souls to past lives. Only when the rational mind experences these unprovable by science experences, then the soul can expand.
@lolwtf92 ask any Psycholoist: They have NO MEDICAL TESTS for brain chemical imbalances :P They are only guessing!!!!!!
i was open to this vid - until that 3 letter word was spoken... god. i try to be open minded, but there is and has been so much wrong done in gods name in the present and the past, anything or anyone trying to speak credibally whilst mentioning god just kills it for me. apart from the god bs, interesting vid. cheers.
thats where FAITH comes in. if EVERY human being looked to fallible, flawed, inconsistent and unpredictable MAN for guidance, we'd ALL be duped into media propaganda, the governments web of lies, and the churches hypocrisy. thank GOD i have intellect AND spirituality. what human being do you know which would volunteer to be prodded, poked, and analyzed for the sake of so-called evidence and how much evidence does one NEED to confirm you have a soul? w/are you? THE LIVING DEAD?
@lolwtf92 I also agree with you that there is no scientific proof of God or the soul (or ego), just as there is no scientific proof of love and fear, only symptoms. However, there is direct experience. If you don´t beleive me, please try a 10 day vipassana meditation retreat. It is the best possibility for opening your rational mind to that possibilty.
lolwtf - There's is also no scientific evidence that bipolar disorder or schizophrenic are caused my biologicaly through chemical imbalances or genetic flaws. And yet you probably believe in that. Painfully unscientific to claim these things when there is no measurable proof, don´t you think?
@bipolarorwakingup I never claimed to know the cause of bipolar, but there IS evidence that it is caused by a mix of genetics, experiences, and chemical imbalance. Unlike you, the people studying it are arriving at their conclusions through actual science rather than pulling explanations out of their asses. Believe it or not, your experience is not proof of anything. Especially during psychosis, you cannot accurately judge what is real. Feelings are not facts. They're feelings.
@lolwtf92 Sorry dude. There is no evidence of chemical imbalance at all. On the genetic side, they have identified some ´groups´of genes as possibly being involved in mental disorders, but that is it.
How would you explain the fact that dopamine antagonists blunt the manic episodes and anti-depressants can cause a bipolar switch from depression to mania? All medications currently used for bipolar disorder alter neurotransmitters and/or other chemical balances in the brain. This to me seems proof enough that there is a chemical imbalance involved in bipolar disorders.
@labrat283 Sorry, I just missed it. You're right, all kinds of chemicals can blunt your experiences of mania, or numb you from depression. Lithium, for example, does so by effecting your blood stream. But the question is, scientifically, is there a chemical imbalance that these chemicals are correcting? Well, for scientific proof you need more than conjecture. You need hard data. And right now, no blood test, Pet scan, MRI or any other test can find any chemical imbalance of any chemical in ...
@labrat283 Part 2....MRI or any other test can find any chemical imbalance of any chemical in anybody. NAMI has stated this outright. So the question becomes, why does psychiatry insist that there is a chemical imbalance when there is no scientific evidence that one exists? BTW, I have enough experience to know that you will not like my answer here, so please be polite in replying or I'll delete everything you posted.
@lolwtf92 you are strengthenthing the argument that bi-polars are advanced on a physiological level, there are no tests that can measure serotonin in the brain or blood, furthermore how can one level of any chemical be correct for every individual? That's crude thinking, I'm glad I have the abilities that bi-polars do life would be sooo boring otherwise, I can't help it if we are advanced, it wasn't my choice.
We (the ‘bipolars’, indigo, HSP Highly Sensitive People etc) might really be the ones who are closer to the TRUTH, than these ‘machines’ people & society who just numbingly follow their brainwashing system!
@nikiwonoto Indeed, we need to band together, and create a HUGE, immense forces.
Perhaps it is this rise of ‘New Light Beings’ , that all these spiritual predictions are talking about when they have made the prediction of the shifting to a ‘New Earth’ after year 2012!
THIS is what we should be told about mental 'disorders', not the medication and alienation psychiatrists and therapists so endorse.
This video made so much sense to me, I feel so free now.

The only discrepancies I have with this otherwise thoughtful examination of "Why we're Bipolar" is, 1. The very mention of the word religion, as religion is taught, followed, and does not require the "follower" to truly "Know Thyself", which is key, as personal experience is the best teacher, imho. Perhaps mysticism is the term to stick to? 2. What was mentioned about "the need for borders" (as far as nations are concerned), as borders seperate, isolate, and control by design, as does religion.

@KickinShadows Thoughtful criticism. I forget how i used the word religion. As for, "borders seperate, isolate, and control by design, as does religion." I think the same point can be made for both...Both borders and religion also give people structure, meaning and security. Are they limiting, yes. But, at this point in our development, some people need them (and some don't). And, as I mentioned, if all of the world's borders were dropped today, we would fall into total chaos.
bipolarorwakingup 4 months ago
@bipolarorwakingup I can see from your perspective, but at the same time, is it not religion that created a lot of the world's ills to begin with? As far as the world being thrown into chaos if all borders were removed... I feel that it would ultimately bring a return to harmony. I recommend looking into chaos theory & fractal geometry. More importantly, I find the writings/works of Jiddu Krishnamurti to be "must reads" for any "Free Thinker" or anyone seeking meaning, truth, or understanding.

Great videos, my friend. I must add that hallucinogenic drugs, for a select minority of the population, are a fantastic thing. It is impossible to comprehend the way a person under the influence of such drugs thinks and feels without having experienced it yourself. Occasionally, such experiences can be so mystical that they change the way you perceive the world... forever.

@Fanatic2020 Your ego, or conditioned "self" (which happens to be the root of the term "selfishness"), made that choice for you... Think outside the box and a whole new level of understanding, concerning who you/we are, what reality is, as well as what reality isn't, will be yours for the perceiving. If you are more of the "I have to see it in order to believe it" (old school scientific) type, I would suggest a dip of the toes into physics, @ the quantum level to be specific. - γνῶθι σεαυτόν -

I think anyone who watches the entire series will see that I encourage a lot of support to be in place if a person chooses to work through a manic psychosis. Two people MUST be with you at all times, and any dangerous items must be removed from the area. But if a person is protected, in a safe, secure environment and is open to working through the process, serious injuries are rare. See the book, Soteria House. That clinic was open 12 years and they had only 10 minor injuries.

and also after watching your video I finally "see" what everyone's been talking about about this "shift in consciousness". Those spiritual teachers are describing a world where people have the hypomania without the depression? and that's achieved by not attaching yourself to your ego which filter the possibilities? I've been listening to those teachers for years and never quite understood it until now I've experienced the "acute psychosis"! I wonder if this thought will hold validity tomorrow XD

Thanks for posting these videos, almost everything you described a bipolar person feeling is what I've been feeling ever since I started university a couple of years ago but never put it down to perhaps bipolar.

CONTINUED- applies to mania (I have severe depression not bipolar) and until now I haven't been able to figure that out... but your videos seem to suggest that someone with bipolar might just be more emotional than your average person and really experiences intense emotion. But because of headmind or ego/social rules this is often supressed and they fall into depression. I gota go but I look forward to responses, i may write more
88bananapeels 1 year ago
@88bananapeels I think you are on the right track, however my videos focus on those labeled Bipolar ONE, which usually involves 'acute psychosis' often loaded with spiritual material. It is a state that can be dangerous if you are unattended, as you may try and test reality and hurt yourself. So, which BD is not a disease, it is a condition that needs to be taked seriously. Keep thinking! And keep watching!

CONTINUED- and this is basically the seat of the ego or conformist self. So I just put 2 and 2 together and say wait.. don't most all mental disorders have onset in adolescence or early adulthood.. how coincidental. So this helped explain what i think is the reason for my depression (not allowing me to be me, and feel the emotions that are mine, so i hide them and depress them because of the ego) and maybe for many other's mental disorders as well.

Look up reverse dash therapy dot com and read the description pages (first 2). It has a similar theory but doesn't go into explaining bipolar. Basically there is something called bodymind (emotions, intuition, the expressive free side, meant to keep us happy and alive) which we have naturally (found in the limbic system of our brain- emotion centers) and as we grow into adolescence our prefrontal cortex grows (headmind, the conservative conformist, analytical mind

I work with hypnosis and guide peoples souls to past lives. Only when the rational mind experences these unprovable by science experences, then the soul can expand.
@lolwtf92 ask any Psycholoist: They have NO MEDICAL TESTS for brain chemical imbalances :P They are only guessing!!!!!!

i was open to this vid - until that 3 letter word was spoken... god. i try to be open minded, but there is and has been so much wrong done in gods name in the present and the past, anything or anyone trying to speak credibally whilst mentioning god just kills it for me. apart from the god bs, interesting vid. cheers.

There is no evidence for the soul. All of these videos are so painfully un-scientific, it's painful.

thats where FAITH comes in. if EVERY human being looked to fallible, flawed, inconsistent and unpredictable MAN for guidance, we'd ALL be duped into media propaganda, the governments web of lies, and the churches hypocrisy. thank GOD i have intellect AND spirituality. what human being do you know which would volunteer to be prodded, poked, and analyzed for the sake of so-called evidence and how much evidence does one NEED to confirm you have a soul? w/are you? THE LIVING DEAD?

@lolwtf92 I also agree with you that there is no scientific proof of God or the soul (or ego), just as there is no scientific proof of love and fear, only symptoms. However, there is direct experience. If you don´t beleive me, please try a 10 day vipassana meditation retreat. It is the best possibility for opening your rational mind to that possibilty.

@lolwtf92 Watch Bruce Lipton, research the pineal gland, or start using your right brain. You may then understand.

lolwtf - There's is also no scientific evidence that bipolar disorder or schizophrenic are caused my biologicaly through chemical imbalances or genetic flaws. And yet you probably believe in that. Painfully unscientific to claim these things when there is no measurable proof, don´t you think?

@bipolarorwakingup I never claimed to know the cause of bipolar, but there IS evidence that it is caused by a mix of genetics, experiences, and chemical imbalance. Unlike you, the people studying it are arriving at their conclusions through actual science rather than pulling explanations out of their asses. Believe it or not, your experience is not proof of anything. Especially during psychosis, you cannot accurately judge what is real. Feelings are not facts. They're feelings.

@lolwtf92 Sorry dude. There is no evidence of chemical imbalance at all. On the genetic side, they have identified some ´groups´of genes as possibly being involved in mental disorders, but that is it.

How would you explain the fact that dopamine antagonists blunt the manic episodes and anti-depressants can cause a bipolar switch from depression to mania? All medications currently used for bipolar disorder alter neurotransmitters and/or other chemical balances in the brain. This to me seems proof enough that there is a chemical imbalance involved in bipolar disorders.

@labrat283 : why can't anyone comment on my question?
labrat283 1 year ago
@labrat283 Sorry, I just missed it. You're right, all kinds of chemicals can blunt your experiences of mania, or numb you from depression. Lithium, for example, does so by effecting your blood stream. But the question is, scientifically, is there a chemical imbalance that these chemicals are correcting? Well, for scientific proof you need more than conjecture. You need hard data. And right now, no blood test, Pet scan, MRI or any other test can find any chemical imbalance of any chemical in ...

@labrat283 Part 2....MRI or any other test can find any chemical imbalance of any chemical in anybody. NAMI has stated this outright. So the question becomes, why does psychiatry insist that there is a chemical imbalance when there is no scientific evidence that one exists? BTW, I have enough experience to know that you will not like my answer here, so please be polite in replying or I'll delete everything you posted.

@lolwtf92 you are strengthenthing the argument that bi-polars are advanced on a physiological level, there are no tests that can measure serotonin in the brain or blood, furthermore how can one level of any chemical be correct for every individual? That's crude thinking, I'm glad I have the abilities that bi-polars do life would be sooo boring otherwise, I can't help it if we are advanced, it wasn't my choice.

We (the ‘bipolars’, indigo, HSP Highly Sensitive People etc) might really be the ones who are closer to the TRUTH, than these ‘machines’ people & society who just numbingly follow their brainwashing system!

@nikiwonoto Indeed, we need to band together, and create a HUGE, immense forces.
Perhaps it is this rise of ‘New Light Beings’ , that all these spiritual predictions are talking about when they have made the prediction of the shifting to a ‘New Earth’ after year 2012!
It all might have more connections than we think!
