Thanks for exerpting that portion of the article. I would have skipped over it.
The more I read about schizophrenia, the more I believe that "hearing voices" is some form of demonic oppression. First of all, anti-psychotic drugs seem to be only able to suppress symptoms. Secondly, the thoughts of these "crazy people" seem to be uniformly evil. Random, disordered thoughts should result in random, disordered acts --some good, some bad.
The activity described above conforms with the accounts of demonic oppression/possession described in Malachi Martin's "Hostage to the Devil."
I have to agree.
It reminds me of a scene in the fictional (but loosely based on an actual true possession) movie The Exorcist where Chris MacNeil says:
"Eight eight doctors, and all you can tell is 'You're sorry?!'"
Some could be. Much of it is the primary symptom of schiz, and schiz is usually from a deep-seated miscommunication within the brain wiring.
I see things and hear voices every night---when I'm asleep and in REM sleep. The mind manufactures very convincing experiences. Sometimes I remember my dreams. Are dreams demonic oppression? If not then why are a schizophrenics voices demonic in nature?
I've never seen a demon and don't know if they are any more real than alien greys portrayed on the X-files.
More likely with schizophrenia is that the brain goes on dreaming when the subject is awake and he can't tell the difference between reality sensory input and the dreams or is confused about which is which. I sure believed my dreams were real when I dreampt them. Sometimes after I wode up, I wished they were.
Occassionally I have a lucid dream, I realized I am dreaming while dreaming. Maybe lucid dreaming is the reverse of schizophrenia and schizophrenia is the inability to realize you are dreaming when wide awake.
