I have suffered from schizophrenia for a decade. My major symptom was ear hallucinations. The mysterious voice come directly into my head and I suspected it was actually the manipulation from the God. In another word, the God abuses her power (or ability) to communicate with us. In fact, it happened a lot in the history of humankind. For instance, the writing of bibles. I am sorry if my writing is a little bit hard for you guys to read. English was not my mother tongue. And I am open to discussions.

I hope it is not defined as insane to talk about the presence of the God in 21 century. It definitely need courage to speak out as a patient of schizophrenia, but I do think I have to speak out. Psychology nowadays has taken over philosophy in the explanations of mental illnesses. However, it does not necessarily mean they are correct.

The God abuses her ability to communicate with us to change our destinies. I think it is the truth behind all myths.

It was not strange that the God can speak to a large number of people at the same time, as well as in different places. Our computer could now process a lot of data at the same time too. Please be open-minded to this question.

At the very beginning, I thought I found that the physical presence of the God is the Earth because I can only hear her voices. And I figured out this was wrong. There are people who saw images as well. I finally convinced that I was wrong. Please tell me if the God exists and revealed herself as the mysterious voices and images some of us come across with.

Thank you so much.

You're getting close to my thought, but I suspect it means more. I think schizophrenia exposes the presence of the God. She doesn't want to control our minds. She just want to interrupt your normal life. And the cohesions between the God and every human beings are strong. So strong that it requires her to speak to us. She speaks in order to gimmie us more freedom.

It "requires" philosophy, of course. It is an important hint given by the God in our world to her actual existence. The God may not able to enter our world physically, but she can speak to us wirelessly.

Thank you all of you guys. And of course, everyone has her own ways of thinking. Since nobody is capable of changing others' minds, our discussions continue. lol
