You need to do more research on mental illness and religious experiences:

@zarkoff45 Good videos. Limited perspective, but good videos.

can you help me understand one of your points? When you talk about tribal people you say their thinking is on the lower end of consciousness, thus demons etc. In my mind, i connect that thinking with spiritual emergency as well, many of the traits seem to cross over. That's why I would consider tribal people on the higher end of consciousness or vis versa, i just mean that i see them on the same page, conscious wise. can you clear this up for me? thanks, great great video!!

@G1E1K38 Sure, I recommend watching all my videos on consciousness...#9-11 and 13-16. The last two deal with tribal consciousness in much more detail. It is a very complex and politically charged subject! To really understand where I'm coming from, you need to see those videos.

Dear Sean,

I have been on an SSRI for a couple years now for anxiety and panic attacks. I have tried to quit or just lower the amount of medication before, only to experience panic attacks once again. This may seem off-topic, but panic attacks to me feel like a form of insanity/negative spiritual experience. I feel like I am in between the modern and post-modern consciousness, feeling some conflict between which to choose. I also probably have medium trauma. What do you recommend I do?

@McScreenName I hope to put an action plan in place over the course of 2012 on my support network, Wake the Planet. I would join us there. You can access it at bipolarorwakingupDOTCOM.

giving a spiritual awakening person toxic bipolar chemicals would fuck them up tbh

[herb420ful]

they have been labeled by doctors as bipolar and given lots of toxic chemicals thats why they are now fucked up, I hate the system

@McScreenName it seems like a dilemma at first...sit back and wait for it to evolve, keeping your mind free of societies worries is probably a good idea.

Actually, scratch that, I used to be at the modern level, but have probably been at the post-modern level for several years. Interestingly, it was around when this shift happened that my panic attacks started. Since then, I have been feeling a pull from the outside world (parents, society) to move back towards a modern level. However, I am now feeling a pull from my inner world to move towards the "power of now" level...quite a dilemma indeed.
