Serious answers only please... is it possible to have hallucinations but not have mental illness - spiritual?

Question

I have never been diagnosed with a mental illness (did see psychologist for a while and told them all this stuff), but sometimes I hallucinate, although I know when something is real or not, occasionally I hear voices, not saying anything clear, just mumbling, and sometimes I feel wierd, like I am out of my body and seperate from the rest of the world, or in a kind of waking dream. Is it possible these are spiritual experiences? This has happened since I was a child, when I used to see auras (doesn't really happen now) and had other wierd experiences. I am really confused as to whether this is something significant.

Answer 1

Very strange but very interesting, when you consider that only a very small percentage of the human brain is actually put to any use, it would be impossible to answer your question!
What is the point in being 'diagnosed' who could ever tell you anything?
One thing is for sure no one can answer your question on this or any other forum, who are we to judge??
Sorry, not much help at all was it??
Suggestions? go with the flow, keep it to yourself otherwise people will think you are a nutter, people are pretty good at that???

Answer 2

It can be really severe where you can end up on Disability because you can't keep a job or it can be just a headache. It really just depends on the person and how severe they are. There are some diet changes that can help a lot in keeping the mood swings from reoccurring. Figuring out what triggers you is important. Some people will only become manic if they start taking anti depressants and that's it. But that's all it takes to become manic for them. Take care of yourself, go to therapy, get exercise and eat healthy and you can make the severity of the disorder melt away. I've actually read things that said Bipolar disorder can be caused by being allergic to something in your diet, it's defiantly worth a try. Gluten a lot of the time can cause these kinds of problems. As long as you prevent yourself from becoming manic and treat it as soon as possible, you can live a normal life.

I had something similar. from age of 7 to 21 I was possessed (well, maybe that is too strong a word, anyway, a spiritual entity attached itself to me). I had telepathy, prcognition, I could astral project and was incresaingly obsessed with the Occult. My precognition could be described as a kind of hallucination.I would see the future event as if it was on a life size photographic transparency with the real world beyond it. When I astral projected I did not see my body or was even in this realm. I have no ideas where I was, but my experiences were somewhat psychedelic (I have never touched drugs). All this ended after I was exorcised (though it took a while before I stopped astral projecting).

Answer 4

My opinion may not be a popular one but...
we live in a spiritual world wether science thinks so or not because science only deals with what can be proven beyond doubt and measured. (and I like science but its not the whole picture)
....and these kind of 'spiritual' experiences are not good or helpful..if you want to find the answers to your life then I suggest that the answers can be found in the pages of an inspired and ancient book: the bible- specifically the New Testament.
These kind of experiences are not from God and therefore they are not good at all. If you want peace and clarity then seek the one true God, the God of the bible.
Don't go and see a medium....

Answer 5

I read a book called Psychic Self-Defense. Dion Fortune, who
was a psychic and a psychologist, said the mental health
profession will never be able to help people until it accepts
the spiritual dimension of human beings
She said when she talked to people who were "crazy". She actually saw entities.
According to her, we have the ability to create another type of
spirit using our own spiritual energy. But it doesn't have a soul
or conscience, and can hurt us or others.
She said some spirits we "see" are loved ones and spirit helpers.
But some are "lost souls". Human spirits that haven't passed on
for whatever reason. And they create obsessions, where they
hang around someone sensitive to them, and bug them.
I always ask the Good Lord to handle things for me. Because
He knows better what the situation is. If it's a lost soul, it needs
LOVE, not banishment to hell. And foolish people who try these
banishings, end up creating violent hauntings!
Use wisdom in all your spiritual dealings.

Answer 6

Yes, spritual, are you psychic? Have you had premonitions that have actually happened? Sounds like you are psychic, the spirits will know this, and are trying to communicate with you. Try reading up on it, there is a book called the psychic workshop, by Craig and Jane Hamilton Parker, you can do psychic tests etc, and it does describe psychic experiences, that relate very closely to what you describe here. You can discover and enhance your hidden psychic powers.

Answer 7

First rule of thumb is to rule out organic causes ie any trauma to you head a blow a tumor oxygen deprivation psychotropic or psychoactive drugs eaten any mushrooms taken any psychedelic drugs ever go diving and get nitrogen narcosis aka the bends some types of fever also cause this as well as a few diseases rule theese out then we can go on to other things Gorbalizer

Answer 8

No one knows the human mind. The establishment thinks they do but they don't. You could have a problem that can be diagnosed or you could have a problem that can't be fixed but what ever it is, the way you discribe your problem, it isn't the way people in general are. I would suggest seeing a professional and do get second opinions.

Answer 9

Hallucinations don't seem like something you'd recognize AS an hallucination while it was happening... sounds more like imagination to me.

You're either psychically gifted or crazy, but I think the latter most likely.

Answer 10

If you're aware that you're hallucinating then you don't have a serious mental illness. I hallucinate if I do too much exercise or if I haven't slept. I wouldn't think you have a serious problem but if it worries you see a doctor.
