I had a couple of brief experiences which I interpreted as mania during the course of about 8 months. Then I had a mystical experience. I had no framework for understanding what a mystical experience was then, but it made me think of Jesus, and I was sure I was experiencing what he did. All these experiences followed cessation of heavy prolonged cannabis use. The manic experiences were nothing compared to the mystical experience, but I guess they were inextricably connected.

@winstono75 That was interesting! Thanks!

Hi Bipolar Guy, while I appreciate the need to 'update' creative endeavors, I don't see what the need was here. I have listened to them both repeatedly and find, IMHO, that I prefer the original. I understand that familiarity could be a factor as I have listened to it repeatedly. But I also find that the recording on the original feels a bit more natural? genuine? I don't know but I find listening to the original one more soothing and comforting. I enjoy it & have downloaded it for myself.

@kozychik I´ll confess, I was a bit more carefree about my subject matter back then. Maybe that´s what comes through. I just needed to update the first three videos to let people know that I was aware of the dark side of these disorders and that being manic didn´t equal a permanent state of nirvana. In a sense, all the updates were mostly defensive manouevers as my material starts to reach a broader audience. I needed to prevent critics from claiming that I was naiive.

God is a prick that's all I have to say.

[bipolarorwakingup]

@replytoomyass Yup, once you know that god truly exists, beyond any religion, and he's actually playing a direct role in your life, sometimes its hard to beleive that he would dump this kind of shit on us. But he does, and I believe its for a reason. don't give up on HIM/HER yet. From what I understand, He's a pretty smart dude.

If bipolar MANIA is "enlightenment", then just what the hell is bipolar DEPRESSION?

[Williehutch2]

Thank u

Sometimes i feel like job or the prodigal son or jonah I must find my purpose God wants me to be.

Wow..... imma suscribe, we share lots of ideas :s

[patelanshul2000]

The fact that this guy has experienced "enlightenment" doesn't mean everyone with bipolar considers the mania that way. It does not happen because of breakdown of this socalled ego, it a biological condition which needs medication, not alluded beliefs of touching the soul or breakin down your ego. However great this state of mania feels, as I have experienced myself, it is followed by periods of crippling depression, so this is a biological condition which needs the right medication

This is 100 percent what happend to me. and it left me happy every min of the day. best things in life are free

BiPolar is an amazing gift, if you learn how to tame the beast and use your spiritual powers to the good. If you look back in history, to the myth of Hercules. The characteristics of Hercules would coincide to those that someone would now be classed as 'bi-polar'. So you are now classed as having some form of problem. In Ancient times, you would have been described as a god trapped inside a human body.

wow...just wow.

Yes, yes. It is very spiritual. I am experiencing the world and myself in a way I never have before. And I've never done drugs, but I feel as if I am drugging myself from my brain. Sometimes I just stay in bed because I feel addicted to the sensations of falling asleep and waking up. Also, I just love the feel of the bed and everything I touch. Sometimes I look at an object a few feet away from me but feel connected to it; like we're all swimming in the same soup.
