When it comes to Manic Depressives and their "Faith".....
Doctors say that many people with Bi-polar disorder tend to think they are "modern prophets", that they have a "special connection" with God. They tend to believe they are somewhat more "grand in spirit" than everyone else. They categorize themselves as being a part of a prophecy, a leader, more intelligent than "most everyone else".
Though could it maybe-- just possibly--
be....that some of those people that are very spiritual and diagnosed Bi-polar...
could perhaps be given a "gift" from God.Say that when, someone who is born with the lack of one sense, another sense is maginfied. When one is born blind, perhaps their sense of touch, is more powerful than that of our own.
Left brain individuals seem to lack power from their right brains, and visa versa. Ever meet a mathmatician thats superb at art?
So maybe, just maybe... When "God" took away what was taken away at birth--- whether it be serontin, chemicals,-- basically youre avergae every day "brain"... and which made you Bi-polar.
Could it be possible that it could heighten your sense of God? Raise a filter? Open a channel?
Could it be that this "6th sense" is overpowered due to the lack of chemicals needed in the brain?Why must we all assume that its just a disease, and that its all fiction.
How do you open your eyes?
