I am 38 years old and I have a schizophrenic and bipolar disorder plus PTSD.
Currently I am living in a closed psychiatric facility somewhere in Germany.
Sometimes people from my old life as artist, programmer and school boy visit me. Sometimes with presents like tabacco even. Or sweets and instant coffee.
My dear mother is my only regular visitor, she is the one who loves me most. I love her too, but fight with her because of my childhood trauma. She has done lots of therapy since then for us children and is a better person now.
My father is living in poverty in the USA after a long life as some kind of Wunderkind engineer with bad luck and no money skills.
I have one friend here in psychiatric ward who is younger than me and a refugee from Äthiopien. He teaches my lessons from god or how he calls him Allah.
I’ve started reading the Quran on Spotify to get more into this religion. I am raised Christian and tending towards Buddhism and Hinduism.
But I want to not believe in anything like my great teacher and favorite author Robert Anton Wilson.
My friend Ali, as I call him, teached me in his non-teachings that knowledge from books is illumination- you can light the universe with it.
That’s not a new definition for everyone teached in European history, but for me coming from a Hinduism idea of divine enlightenment it is fresh.
I received enlightenment by shaktipat by a student of the spiritual teacher Ramaji from the USA. He received it from his guru and grace of mother kali. He gives something called RASA - a divine light transmission.
Ramaji has written many books about non duality including 1000. In the mentioned book he took the Levels of Consciousness concept known from many teachings and transferred it to non duality.
According to my teacher I am at 1000 of this scale and currently in the post awakening phase which can be rough and take a few years. Years in which karma is removed or uncovered very fast.
That’s why I am at the psychiatric ward, it was too much karmic debt released at once.
At the moment I live without money but with god. Something I know from my teacher Danial from the Sufi tradition
