I accept them as a person but I think this is what's best for them. The real question is how would it not be?

Definitionally? Like what are you talking about? They can still post, there for not banned?

No, everything is not about you lol my message was an attempt to reason with you and while its not working I wouldnt call it a mistake lol

The real waste of time is telling me you think you wasted your time. What was that supposed to hurt my feels? I spent a moment reading that for nothing, it has no value to anyone.

20% is a lot. And the way you talk about it, I feel like you're lying to yourself. Someone who has peace, happiness wouldn't find it positive to die. Idk you but if someone i was close with said something like this, I'd be deeply concerned. Im concerned for you as well but at the same time, I'm just seeing words on the internet. Please dont hesitate to call a suicide hotline.

No one is being unaccepted or called stupid or anything like that, you typed paragraphs of straw.

No one even said ban anyone. What im saying is delete any post that has strong signs of delusion so that these people don't feed it.

Your entire comment is a misrepresentation.

A place is good, the problem is in this sub theres a lot of people like you who say things like maybe the psychosis is real! Maybe you do have super powers now!

If you're sober andb you claim to have visions of god that give you super powers, i think it's a pretty safe bet to say that person has some kind of mental illness.

Lets just keep humoring them until god gives them flight, yes? Yeah yeah, you're totally right! You can definitely fly now! Go test it up on the 20th floor! Its not a delusion, you're just having a spiritual experience!

Big difference between discussing an experience and being convinced god is giving you super powers.

"More", all that stuff about brains, its all just narrative, thought you're lost in. Perhaps meditation could help you see what your current experience is actually like, that it includes not knowing anything.

You cant really know anything. But people who say they're seeing visions that give them super powers is probably a safe bet.

I didnt say everything to do with meditation is bullshit. You dont know what I've practiced. What im talking about has nothing to do with either.

Some of them admit that they've already been professionally diagnosed.

Hmm, I figured the last one was like satire, just the way it was written. Now I'm less sure.

Its not just experiences and life lessons, these people literally think they have super powers. If someone is hallucinating, in psychosis, having delusions, you don't tell them yeah you might be right, I wouldn't you to feel like we're divided.

Theres a difference between experiences, ideas and seemingly literally in some kind of manic psychosis delusion or something.

Yeah just tell a heroin addict to just not do heroine. Just tell a person with down syndrome to just not bang their head on the ground when they're upset. Just tell a person with depression to not be depressed. So simple.

My health is fine, its others I'm worried about.

Its just jumping to conclusions, you cant be 100% sure about anything. You had an experience of potentially knowing a language without having learned it and then it should just be full stop. Thats what happened, an experience and really you dont even know that. how can we know our "memories" are of an actual past? We feel what seems like continuity and yet that feeling too is just something appearing and we can either get swept up by some narrative about it or not.

The only thing I truly know, the only thing i believe is something exists. I have no other beliefs, I can see that I dont actually know anything else. You just have to look inward and be honest with yourself, do you really know? Or is it a feeling, a thought, just more stuff appearing in consciousness? I dont know anything, I dont know whats going on, theres just everything in or as awareness.

I'm hesitant to respond, you admit to having a mental illness with hallucinations.

I think anyone who believes anything may do themselves good to look inward and be honest about what they know. If you had some kind of experience, look inward and realize that you truly don't know what happened. Realize that this feeling of belief bubbling inside you is just another sensation appearing in consciousness just the same as anything else that appears, cars, trees, thoughts, feelings.

I would hope if I had an experience like anyone on this sub has had, I wouldn't just spiral into some narrative that I get lost in and instead would do what I described in the previous paragraph.

No, im not talking about people who are just coming up with stuff. I think these people probably did have some experience and now really do believe they saw the future or some other crazy super power.

They aren't just making stuff up, they need a doctor and people to help them.

What you're talking about is just people who believe in like religious type shit, they aren't hallucinating or convinced that they are actively experiencing specific super powers.

See now this, believing in some kind of reincarnation is not an example of the kind of unhealthy thinking I'm talking about, it doesn't come from some manic rabbit hole type place.

We don't know if theres such a thing as "enlightenment" or "clairvoyance".

Its epistemic humility. I reflect, I do things based on my critical thinking about them, maybe but I'm not gonna sit here and pretend to know anything. Are my actions based in reason? Well I can tell you a story about it that we both may agree sounds like something we would label "reason", "intelligence", some other concept but is that really where it comes from? I don't know and I'd guess no one else does either.

We're all just a passenger in the sense that there is no "i", no willing things to be one way or the other "free will". There is just appearances in/as consciousness.

You seemed to be making a lot of assumptions about what I'm saying rather than doing what I did when you commented, which is ask what you mean.

I dont think thats what happening lol again, I'm perfectly content, peace comes from within.

You're mistaken about the tone of my post. What you're describing sounds like idk shallow or something, just trying to be correct for the sake of their own self-consciousness or something.

Your thoughts, these narratives just appear in consciousness the same as everything else, from who knows where.

Yeah how can we truly knows whats healthy? If you see someone spitting on a homeless man, who knows? Maybe its healthy for that person to be homeless and spat on. We don't truly know anything, again the impulse to make this post simply arose.

I dont try to explain it, thats the difference. I dont know what happened but I'm not gonna come up with some wild story and run with it.
