Truth. People knew that words mattered and used and thought of the appropriate words and sentence structures to use & speak to others in a CIVILIZED way. That has been lost. Only the wealthy still maintain this (look at how the Queen was talking - very precise, articulate & without fillers and fluff) and the plebs get slang lazy vernacular and embrace it. It is such a shame. Hopefully there will be a renaissance of the English language but I feel that age has passed for the West.

Lol no. There are just as many well spoken, intelligent, "think before you speak" people now, if not more. Just like there were willfully ignorant mean impolite hateful people back then.

Some fifty years ago, sociologists accurately predicted just how stupid the masses of people would become. It's difficult to believe that some persons would comment on how articulate and intelligent the people in this video were. These people are average human beings. It's frightening to know how general society has degenerated but it is surprising to me. I'm only more convinced that previous generations were far brighter than they are today. It's obvious. This man overworked himself and is highly irritated by his mother. Should he continue to live with her? No. It's unhealthy. It only increases his loneliness and repressed anger. His mother is controlling and unpleasant.

It seems we’ve gone backwards since this film was made. My son has had paranoid schizophrenia since his late teens in 2009. Here in PA there’s nowhere to hospitalize him, so he either goes in for the 72 hr. observation or he’s jailed for acting bizarre. He vanished from the halfway house where he was living on 11-18-19 and police won’t consider him missing, even though he can’t take care of himself. I have no idea where he is, and no one has seen him. This is harder than when another one of our sons died from a heart attack while attending grad school at Georgetown. This video saddened me because my son, an editor, musician, and award-winning potter lost everything.

Just below the video publisher it is stated that the documentary was of a patient in 1963. This type of madness had already been in operation against the Jews and others on the nazi hit list. It's a satanic program developed and mastered through the years. Each new recruit has to "practice" on someone to perfect the freemason/nazi craft. So there are always new recruits through the years, and many people fall into their traps to become the lab rats/guinea pigs for the experiments, while the recruit advances to higher levels in the secret society. When they've perfected the spells, curses or psychological strategies then they go onto other formula devised to ruin people or change their gender identity, etc, etc. They also download and upload the consciousness of people onto other people, switching personas, forming soul ties, transferring identity etc, from one to another. This is why the weak are taken over by multiple personality disorders. I was to rent a room once in someone's home. On the day I was to move, his female friend contacted me to say that he was ill. He had been taken to the "hospital" because he "flipped", he ran outside around the house without any clothes on. When I went to see the place, he was a completely normal person. In a few short days how could someone just flip, and he was not a white American either. THe slave traders/human traffickers did not want me renting a decent place from him, so they worked on his nerves/mind, so I would not be able to move there. He was a kind man, and sent back my check with his lady friend. Here where I am staying in an office, the director goes off, but only with me. He yells and says things that are an insult to my character/nature, and won't pay me for work done. That is an evil nature. So, to be on the side of righteousness, before I jump ahead and judge, I need to figure out if it's who he is, or is he being demonized as well by the stalkers who surveil me. One of the s talkers was a pastor of a charismatic church. She maintained her position through witchcraft.The other person was the owner of a house I had to stay in and strip clean for nothing. I did not get paid for 6 months of intense work. He was an undercover parasite, predator who preyed on innocent, unsuspecting, ignorant people to enslave them & use them for their soul energy. There are many retired men & women who have nothing to do but drive around the neighborhood spying on people, sitting and watching people through their surveillance devices. It becomes and obsession. They house the demonic entity, the reptilian, the forked tongue who is in competition with the Christ.

But I ask myself, is it just the usual older generation not identifying with the younger generation? I've always thought I could relate to anyone whether old or young, no matter what their ethnic background. Even my own grown-up daughters have basically rejected me. Maybe that's just a delayed case of 'Parental Alienation' due to me leaving their mother. I don't know. All this lack of empathy, mean-spirited and shallow materialism has driven me to now live like a recluse.

If you (or someone you know) can see/hear spirits, you are NOT alone or CRAZY ! Unless you had a serious head injury or dose on illegal drugs regularly. You are like me a person with a third eye/ear capability. We represent about 10% of humanity. I was Paranoid Schizophrenic for sometime too. I did the meds and therapies too, but there seem to be no end/final cure. So I did my own research. BTW, I am a Civil Engineer with a highly analytical mind. Once I knew the REAL reason (Spirits) I was set FREE ! I even turned the tables on the evil spirits. I TORMENTED them with Worship Songs, Quoted Holy Scripture to them. Even called them names and mocked them. It drove them away. The spirits would come back a few days later but I gave them the SAME treatment. Eventually they gave up. I've been meds free for the last 16 years now. The spirits no longer bother me, because I'm NO LONGER FUN to torment. The spirits prefer SCARED & CONFUSED victims. So Im sharing my experience and insights. You can get schizophrenia from various reasons like a serious head injury, regular use of illegal drugs, practice of black magic, or traumatic events like rape, bullying, rejection, total isolation, death of a loved one or near-death experience. Anything that seriously WEAKENS your body, EMBITTERS your soul, and affects your FAITH in God, also WEAKENS your protective spiritual AURA and allows the evil spirits to communicate with you. You can pick RANDOM evil spirits from morgue, cemeteries, hospitals, asylums, jails, dungeons, and abandoned houses and isolated forests. Our physical and spirit worlds exists in parallel dimensions, separated by force fields. The spirits can see/hear us, we can't see/hear them NORMALLY. Spirits communicate by MENTAL TELEPATHY ( mind to mind ) that's why ONLY you can see or hear them. That's why the spirits can also READ YOUR MIND/THOUGHTS ! You can also secretly TALK/SHOUT to them by TELEPATHY - in the presence of other people. No one will notice & think you're CRAZY ! Ive done this a few times & forced the spirits away. Spirits can also DISTORT human speech. For example if your friend says " Hello, What's Up ? " it will sound like " You're UGLY & STUPID ! " and so you'll get ANGRY. That's how spirits make you PARANOID & anti-social. The speech DISTORTION happens only a few SECONDS ! The speakers face suddenly changes to an UGLY facial expression ! The Spirits TRUE FACE shows like a dwarf or leprechaun ! Then the face reverts back to normal and the speaker is NOT even aware of what happened. He'll wonder why you're angry at him ! Ive seen this many times !! The evil spirits want to isolate you socially. You're their TOY ! Some spirits can also SHAPE SHIFT - appear in ANY form (animal or people). They can IMITATE other peoples LOOKS/VOICES and pretend like real people. Spirits can also produce SOUNDS like knocking on doors, footsteps, crying or screaming people, scratching on walls, police sirens, barking dogs etc. Their plan is to scare and ISOLATE you socially .. for themselves. Make people think you're CRAZY .. even if you re NOT. Resist them, Don't give up .. or you're really gonna end up crazy. Remember this, its NOT you but THEM (spirits) that's causing this. Fight them, mock them, EXORCISE them out of your house/life... eventually they'll give up and leave. .

At my worst I heard 14 voices and at that time I never thought they were in my head. I lost everything I had worked for and was literally running for my life from the voices. After the right meds I'm now functioning not hearing voices or having delusions. Its no way to live. I wanted to die. I was exhausted and nobody understood me. Its interesting that even back then they understood schizophrenia very well. My psychotic break happened in my late 20s and was due to childhood trauma. The thing about the voices is they were and are in everything. They are in sounds,fans,wind, humming from machines even. They are always there in some way. Meds just do a job but cannot make them fully go away.

[@Jane_under_a_tree_with_a_book]

@LINA CAPRI I had a friend who had paranoid schizophrenia. She had years of sexual abuse from her father and denial of it by her mother. When she was having an episode, she would pour with sweat from fear, not sleep for days, see dead bodies all over her house and could describe them clearly. She would sit up all night staring at light poles outside and believed they monitored her. It would take days for her to accept the need to be hospitalized. The medications she was given were almost as bad as not having them. They would make her feel physically sluggish and mentally foggy. A horrible way to live. Mental illness is cruel because it also undermines and often destroys your closest relationships. It usually leads to self medication and that in turn leads to the judgement and blame of others. Hugs to all of us who suffer from mental illnesses and disordered thinking.

[@lies-hurt_Love-Heals]

Same thing happened to me and my mom and my grandma. I often wonder if I’m high functioning.My grandma and mom had symptoms and I noticed symptoms of these strange ideas in myself as well. I’ve prayed and stayed very close to God Eternal my whole life. I like both science and spirituality. I think the trauma opens us up for more negative energies or entities to try to convince us of what doesn’t make sense when you put it all together. It’s little weird moments that these patients are putting altogether like puzzle pieces and it makes one big scary story for them. If I have what I know is an unusual thought or I’m feeling like I have to be or do something a certain way, I prove myself wrong and i don’t do the ocd things and I replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts and just keep reminding myself I’m not alone and the world does not revolve around me. I was also just married to a narcissist for 18 yrs. I did have some psychotic breaks due to his rage episodes and manipulative gaslighting me. My dad and my grandpa molested us and were also narcissistic. I think it’s amazing and a huge blessing from God that I’m not way worse off. It was shocking finding out the truth from my mom and grandma and then hearing them explaining it all away, like these men couldn’t help themselves. Maybe not, maybe they were more possessed than I thought. I’m tired of feeling like I’m the crazy one for feeling like this world is so f-ing backwards. And now we have child molesters running our country. The 1 in 3 or 1in 4 is not accurate and pretty much everyone you meet has been abused. It’s too sad to me.

i am diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia since my early 20's. One thing i always notice when this mental disease is discussed is people often associate it with being super intelligent. People seem to think the way we talk and elaborate what is going on inside our minds is very convincing but is just because it is not reality and everyone can tell except us. So it is really like being the only person in the world capable of doing it and others might understand and sometimes even can relate even if they are obvioulsy not crazy. Its like convincing a little child of something about the reality of adults: you need to make it simple when it is very very complex. What i think it happens is that if you let someone talk about one single event they know a lot about they will end looking like they're very smart but in the end you are just like a little child who learned something. So, from my point of view i dont really think schizophrenic people are more intelligent than others. If anything they're the same or often too confused or numb by the meds that they cant be on pair with regular average people...so that make us dumber if anything.Anyway, yes, we are tired of all the stupid people around, there is so much ignorance and so much alienation being glorified as culture that makes us sick. As a human being i could only wish there was more efficiency on the art of educating people. Yes, we need to work on education. The only reason there is injustice and suffering in the world is because there is extreme interest in keeping a huge portion of world population unaware of reality. Can anyone understand what i am trying to say? English is not my mother tongue.

I was married to someone like that. Thought I was trying to poison him. Constantly accused me of running around on him. It was terrible. He would come in from work and start checking the apartment...under the bed, in the closet, the bathroom. He would get mad if anyone happened to look at me in a restuarant while I walked to the bathroom. He got angry at a young Sackboy once because he talked to me while sacking groceries and taking them out to our car. He ended being physically abusive. He'd say things like he would kill me, our son, and himself afterwards. I was afraid to leave...and afraid to stay. I finally did leave, and divorced him. With God's help and protection, he didn't kill us. That was many years ago. He passed away about 7 years ago from cancer.

[@thatswhatshesaid6326]

I went through a mental break about a year and a half ago. I went through a heavy betrayal (again) from my Narcissistic mother and a break up from a man that was mentally abusive. This all happened within 3 days which led to the hardest time of my life. Which is saying a lot. I am divorced with 4 kids which we had in 4 1/2 years, they were all small when we separated so those were hard times doing it alone. I was sexually abused by my bio dad from 4 or 5 to 10 once I told my mom then it was 2 years of court hearings, child Psychologist, lawyers, judges and still had to go every other weekend to my dads the whole 2 years. I was also raped at 22 from a guy who followed me home from a bar (I didn’t know him). So when I went through this mental break it was like a flood gate that opened and all of these emotions and feelings came pouring in my head. It was a very very scary time. Some days all I could do was get through a minute and then the next minute… my biggest accomplishment that day was making it through those days alive. A little over a year ago I met friends out to have drinks and dinner. When we are ready to leave a couple hours later I went to the bathroom before heading outside and when I got outside a friend of mine said oh I thought you were already out to your car. I said no I was in the bathroom she said why is your car running then? I was so detached that I didn’t even shut my car off when I walked into the restaurant. Very scary times I’m much better today. I’m able to focus, I’m able have clear thoughts and I’m able to be the mom I once was. But I am very much aware and scared all the time that I will slip back into this black hole and not be able to climb out next time. I do believe though, once you go through a break you are built back up with a different sense of awareness and understanding. I’m definitely more spiritual and present today.

You are like me a person with a third eye/ear capability. We represent about 10% of humanity. I was Paranoid Schizophrenic for sometime too. I did the meds and therapies too, but there seem to be no end/final cure. So I did my own research. BTW, I am a Civil Engineer with a highly analytical mind. Once I knew the REAL reason (Spirits) I was set FREE ! I even turned the tables on the evil spirits. I TORMENTED them with Worship Songs, Quoted Holy Scripture to them. Even called them names and mocked them. It drove them away. The spirits would come back a few days later but I gave them the SAME treatment. Eventually they gave up. I've been meds free for the last 16 years now. The spirits no longer bother me, because I'm NO LONGER FUN to torment. The spirits prefer SCARED & CONFUSED victims. So Im sharing my experience and insights. You can get schizophrenia from various reasons like a serious head injury, regular use of illegal drugs, practice of black magic, or traumatic events like rape, bullying, rejection, total isolation, death of a loved one or near-death experience. Anything that seriously WEAKENS your body, EMBITTERS your soul, and affects your FAITH in God, also WEAKENS your protective spiritual AURA and allows the evil spirits to communicate with you. You can pick RANDOM evil spirits from morgue, cemeteries, hospitals, asylums, jails, dungeons, and abandoned houses and isolated forests. Our physical and spirit worlds exists in parallel dimensions, separated by force fields. The spirits can see/hear us, we can't see/hear them NORMALLY. Spirits communicate by MENTAL TELEPATHY ( mind to mind ) that's why ONLY you can see or hear them. That's why the spirits can also READ YOUR MIND/THOUGHTS ! You can also secretly TALK/SHOUT to them by TELEPATHY - in the presence of other people. No one will notice & think you're CRAZY ! Ive done this a few times & forced the spirits away. Spirits can also DISTORT human speech. For example if your friend says " Hello, What's Up ? " it will sound like " You're UGLY & STUPID ! " and so you'll get ANGRY. That's how spirits make you PARANOID & anti-social. The speech DISTORTION happens only a few SECONDS ! The speakers face suddenly changes to an UGLY facial expression ! The Spirits TRUE FACE shows like a dwarf or leprechaun ! Then the face reverts back to normal and the speaker is NOT even aware of what happened. He'll wonder why you're angry at him ! I've seen this many times !! The evil spirits want to isolate you socially. You're their TOY ! Some spirits can also SHAPE SHIFT - appear in ANY form (animal or people). They can IMITATE other peoples LOOKS/VOICES and pretend like real people. Spirits can also produce SOUNDS like knocking on doors, footsteps, crying or screaming people, scratching on walls, police sirens, barking dogs etc. Their plan is to scare and ISOLATE you socially .. for themselves. Make people think you're CRAZY .. even if you re NOT. Resist them, Don't give up .. or you're really gonna end up crazy. Remember this, its NOT you but THEM (spirits) that's causing this. Fight them, mock them, EXORCISE them out of your house/life... eventually they'll give up and leave. .

THESE types of mental conditions ARE real. However labeling human conditions like Depression and Anxiety as "Mental Illness" and prescribing dangerous drugs is wrong. There is no test to measure things like that against 'normal" people , because there is NOTHING there. Depression and Anxiety are natural and situational only. The way that they are dealt with and acted out is a direct result of your personal experience and upbringing. All of these cases that you see now, are enabled and not actual, in that while the people are depressed, the circumastances changing would stop it in it's tracks. By being wrong at it's base, the whole mental health industry is and has been destroying lives since it's inception.

This video was so well done - to the "T" (text book). It's everything that I remember experiencing with a loved one and what I studied in psychology about schizophrenia, specifically paranoid schizophrenia...even to the point of the patient relapsing but being aware that something was not quite right, going back to get help more willingly and quicker and, to returning to work. The job welcomed my loved one back because they just knew them as a hard working, honest, upstanding, and kind person whose contribution to the job was needed and appreciated. Thank you for this clip. I think one serious lesson everyone should really take to heart here is if you, like the patient's Mom, see your loved one pouring an unhealthy amount of energy into working while juggling a full plate of REAL LIFE, if they are not sleeping at night and/or is easily awakened pacing throughout the night and has a glossy (glazed and dazed) look in the eye, it could be time to do whatever you can do to get that person to get rest. Although, that's tough to do when you don't know how far to push the person and can't determine if you are safe in the same environment around the person. Unfortunately, I think it's just a waiting game to see what they will do next until the ultimate break happens. Hopefully, God willing, they will be somewhere where they won't be harmed or harm anyone else and can be restrained and hospitalized long enough to be evaluated and get some much needed rest. Really great video. I commend whoever did this video with such clarity and methodically.

I think its important to note that anytime you put 70 people together where they have to interact with each other in any way, you will end up occasionally having instances of minor violence. Sometimes people don't get along, that's normal.

[@natishamullis-brooks5715]

As a Registered Nurse with Mental Health specialty, I’ve worked years with these patients, both in-patient at the mental health hospital I worked for and out-patient at a psychiatrist’s office. Most people afflicted with this condition are much more likely to harm themselves, than they are to harm others. Statistics show that those with personality disorders (narcissistic, anti-social, borderline, psychotic, etc…) are many times more likely to harm others. Those with schizophrenia generally feel fear, anxiety, depression, have a lack of energy and feel loss of control. Most are generally scared of what they see, feel, hear and/or believe and some experience extreme terror. None of the above makes for someone that is on the attack. They would generally prefer to isolate away from others, including close family and friends. This is why the unmedicated so often end up jobless, homeless and completely alone. Others live almost completely inside their minds and rarely take note of what’s going on around them. The majority, however, are capable of living fairly normal lives and you’d never know that they suffered any type of mental illness, especially when regularly taking the right medications, getting family support and learning how to cope via therapies and social services. The issues of prejudices related to misunderstanding those with Schizophrenia is improving rwith time, due to better education and awareness efforts. As well as the rapid rise in the percentage of the population suffering some form of mental and/or emotional difficulty. However, it’s still one of the most stigmatized and misunderstood medical conditions one can have. For instance: Schizophrenia is NOT a mental illness, contrary to popular belief. It is a MEDICAL CONDITION, like having a traumatic brain injury may cause problems with memory, self control, and completely change one’s personality, which occurs after injury or death to the parts of the brain, that would normally control those behaviors and skills. The brains of people with Schizophrenia are wired differently than a neuro-typical person’s, and show up as damage to parts of the brain. Those abnormalities can be viewed by using brain scans. Researchers have been unable, thus far, to determine the cause/s of schizophrenia, though they have many theories. These people aren’t “crazy” they’re just wired differently than the average person. Several studies have proven that sufferers with a good support system of family and/or friends, healthcare providers and services, tailored to their needs, have a much more increased chance of remission and even full recovery of their symptoms. New studies are showing that schizophrenia doesn’t have to be a lifelong affliction. About 30% are recovering fully or going into long-term or permanent remission of all symptoms, even without medications or treatment, which is fantastic news, since only about 1/3 ever seek treatment at all. Don’t abandon your “crazy” friends or family members as a lost cause. YOU may be the key to their recovery from most or all of their symptoms. You never know what future research will reveal to us. Maybe we’ll discover that what someone with schizophrenia experiences is actual reality and the rest of us are the crazy ones. You just never know. 😉

i had a cousin that presented with this...it's Hell on Earth for them. The hardest thing about treating them is keeping them on meds bc they feel they are the only ones who see the world as it truly is, it is the others around them, whose minds are disordered. There is hope, however, if a person presenting with these symptoms can be successfully acclimated and medicated. A LPC that taught my Psych 101 course had a patient who was a brain surgeon that presented with Schizoid tendencies, and recognized early on that he needed treatment. He was able to keep performing at the highest levels of the job he loved by getting on a treatment regiment early on, and sticking to it.

I can't say in the United States, but here in the UK we treat schizophrenia with something called clozapine. Unfortunately patients have to have their blood and life signs monitored because it basically destroys the bodies, some can resist the damage but once they see signs of damage they take the person off of it. Those patients who's bodies have a resistance to its effects the clozapine works amazingly well. It helps to subdue all or most of the symptoms, but the injections have to be down in the buttocks by professionals. Most are on cloazpine their whole life. It's doesn't cure them but it's the most strongest drug there is to fight it. I hope in 10 20 to 30 years better medication comes out that's not as destructive as clozapine.

[@ArtsyStudios]

In the UK, we have to try 3 different anti psychotic medications first and if they all fail the last resort is clozapine.

Turned out her phone was tapped! Years later caught sis telling Dr, Mom had dementia! I asked him if it was in her records diagnosed by a doctor, Nope! Told him I work with dementia patients, while the sis sang in bars. Though Mom was showing confusion, she was also very physically ill, and symptoms suggested mental confusion due to ill health! Have not seen any evidence of dementia though! He addressed the health issues well & she quickly bounced back to normal function! She does have a long history of mixing up her kids names with siblings & grandkids. Considering she raised all 3 generations, that is not surprising by any means!

Later that night I ran after him after he escaped the house and watched in horror as he jumped from a 30ft bridge down onto a motorway before I could catch up to him.

I had acute psychosis last year. It felt like paranoid schizophrenia. I was so afraid of the cartel kidnapping my son and selling him into sex trafficking. I also felt like I was in a simulation because everything felt predictable. I felt like I was predicting the future in real time. Everything I observed got over analyzed and incorporated into my inner narrative. I felt that god was arranging things to prevent me from getting money out of the atm. There was a glitch on the atm screen and it tweaked me out. So I went to a different bank and those atms were out of order so I went to another chase bank and then the money truck was loading the cash into the atms and I was so paranoid and freaked out I raced home. I thought the government was following me. It was terrifying. At home my boyfriend and I were breaking up and he went to work. I was in the middle of moving and so all my stuff was out of that apartment. No furniture, no bed, no couch. I was supposed to get my son and go to my new apartment but I was too afraid to drive the 45 minute drive to the city at night. I was also sleep deprived and nodding out at the wheel on my way there. so I slept on the floor next to my 4year old sons toddler mattress on the floor. He was sleeping soundly. But I couldn’t sleep. I thought I heard people walking on the roof and unlocking the condo door knob. I was afraid to use electricity because I thought they were monitoring me and watching me. I thought they would know what I was doing. I just self soothed by rubbing my sons back as he slept and cried most of the night. Around 7am I finally called 911 and told them I don’t feel safe. They took me to the hospital and admitted me to the ward. My ex came home from work and was pissed off because the hospital called DCFS and they were investigating us. He came to the hospital to pick up our son and had to get a background check and everything. Later I was charged with child neglect. Which I think is unfair because I was clearly sick and I’m much better in a healthier state of mind. I feel sorry for people who are paranoid like that. It’s terrible. No amount of reason will get thru. The brain just connects too many things that shouldn’t be connected and it feels like evidence/ justification for the delusions. I felt like no one understood what I witnessed. I was just insane.

I remember watching this video in my psychology class- it was such an old video but the teacher kept playing it again and again. On the video there was this man w schizophrenia who spent all of his time being committed to the hospital and then released, wandering around the city when he was out. But anyways, this man had to wear glasses. He was basically blind without them. However, he was CONVINCED that the government was watching him through his glasses- and that he could record people with his glasses. He’d get a new pair (from the state) and then throw them away the next day. Anyways I think this story was etched into my mind because I just thought it was so sad. That this man would throw away his lifeline (ie being able to SEE) over his paranoia. But then I started to see it a bit differently. After APPLE came out w google glasses I admit I did wonder if he had some kind of ESP due to his brain not functioning properly. Like what if he actually had an instinct about the future. About google glasses, and that’s a big part of why he kept throwing his glasses away? I know schizophrenics don’t see “reality” The way we do. But what if he was seeing *a* reality? Just not the one we were currently living in? I know it sounds crazy but I’ve wondered that for a long time.

I'll never forget him raising one eyebrow and asking us if we could be sure the subject was not actually experiencing some kind of organized persecution. We thought he was kidding at first, but he was quite serious. I think he did that to remind us to consider every possibility when assessing a patient's story and use all our skills to find corroboative evidence before automatically triaging a patient into the range of psychotic disorders. It was a good lesson, as I still remember it and use it 35 years later.

If you (or someone you know) can see/hear spirits, you are NOT alone or CRAZY ! Unless you had a serious head injury or dose on illegal drugs regularly. You are like me a person with a third eye/ear capability. We represent about 10% of humanity. I was Paranoid Schizophrenic for sometime too. I did the meds and therapies too, but there seem to be no end/final cure. So I did my own research. BTW, I am a Civil Engineer with a highly analytical mind. Once I knew the REAL reason (Spirits) I was set FREE ! I even turned the tables on the evil spirits. I TORMENTED them with Worship Songs, Quoted Holy Scripture to them. Even called them names and mocked them. It drove them away. The spirits would come back a few days later but I gave them the SAME treatment. Eventually they gave up. I've been meds free for the last 16 years now. The spirits no longer bother me, because I'm NO LONGER FUN to torment. The spirits prefer SCARED & CONFUSED victims. So Im sharing my experience and insights. Our physical and spirit worlds exists in parallel dimensions, separated by force fields. The spirits can see/hear us, we can't see/hear them NORMALLY. Spirits communicate by MENTAL TELEPATHY ( mind to mind ) that's why ONLY you can see or hear them. That's why the spirits can also READ YOUR MIND/THOUGHTS ! You can also secretly TALK/SHOUT to them by TELEPATHY - in the presence of other people. No one will notice & think you're CRAZY ! Ive done this a few times & forced the spirits away. You can get schizophrenia from various reasons like a serious head injury, regular use of illegal drugs, practice of black magic, or traumatic events like rape, bullying, rejection, total isolation, death of a loved one or near-death experience. Anything that seriously WEAKENS your body, EMBITTERS your soul, and affects your FAITH in God, also WEAKENS your protective spiritual AURA and allows the evil spirits to communicate with you. You can pick RANDOM evil spirits from morgue, cemeteries, hospitals, asylums, jails, dungeons, and abandoned houses and isolated forests. Spirits can also DISTORT human speech. For example if your friend says " Hello, What's Up ? " it will sound like " You're UGLY & STUPID ! " and so you'll get ANGRY. That's how spirits make you PARANOID & anti-social. The speech DISTORTION happens only a few SECONDS ! The speakers face suddenly changes to an UGLY facial expression ! The Spirits TRUE FACE shows like a dwarf or leprechaun ! Then the face reverts back to normal and the speaker is NOT even aware of what happened. He'll wonder why you're angry at him ! I've seen this many times !! The evil spirits want to isolate you socially. You're their TOY ! Some spirits can also SHAPE SHIFT - appear in ANY form (animal or people). They can IMITATE other peoples LOOKS/VOICES and pretend like real people. Spirits can also produce SOUNDS like knocking on doors, footsteps, crying or screaming people, scratching on walls, police sirens, barking dogs etc. Their plan is to scare and ISOLATE you socially .. for themselves. Make people think you're CRAZY .. even if you re NOT. Resist them, Don't give up .. or you're really gonna end up crazy. Remember this, its NOT you but THEM (spirits) that's causing this. Fight them, mock them, EXORCISE them out of your house/life... eventually they'll give up and leave. .
