Yes, we are all schizophrenic. Maybe not in the clinical sense, but in the practical sense for sure. Deep within you, surely within your subconscious, sometimes rising to your conscious, a battle rages. You most likely have learned to ignore it, suppress it and operate as though it doesn’t exist—that’s called growing up—but it rages nonetheless.
The battle is your ego attacking your spirit. Your ego is that which you have identified yourself to be. You have identified yourself with innumerable references. Your body, your race, your education, your income, your beliefs, your friends, your house, your car, just to name a few. Need I go on?
You are spirit, free and immortal, who has attached yourself to references that imprison and mortalize you. What a dilemma this world is…
Ever notice how you will follow an act of random kindness with a just as random act of hatred? Ever loved someone with all your heart in one moment only to hate them with all your might the next? If you haven’t, you are either in denial or unconscious.
Schizophrenia—being one person one moment and another in the next—is the context of your existence. Like water is to a fish, it is the source of your experience in this world.
What a playground humanity has created? Whether it’s heaven or hell is up to you. You can choose the ego and live in hell. Or, you can choose spirit and live in heaven.
But it begins and ends with you! To recognize the choice is within you is the first step out of schizophrenia. Recognizing you are the source of the choice is the second step. Choosing spirit is the final step.
But it’s easier said than done. “Doing it” requires committed practice.
