Hi RJ.
I have been reading some of your stuff. I can't say whether of not you are a scholar, but you sure aren't as lacking in intelligence as you often describe.
A thought...
Just because Lucifer might exist does not preclude you from imagining that you have made contact with him when you really haven't. In other words, you can believe in the existence of water while walking in the desert, but that does not make a mirage any less of an illusion.
Getting back to psych stuff, it should be noted that one of the more common themes seen in psychotic mania is "religiosity". Very often, there is a preoccupation with good versus evil. Personally, I don't subscribe to that spiritual paradigm, but I did have a very strong set of beliefs in the existence of a devil when I had manic reactions to MAOIs. These included visual illusions along with the delusions. It is a very interesting phenomenon.
I cannot comment on the accuracy of your spiritual constructs. I couldn't possibly know for sure.
