I had a psychosis some years back.
Paraniod schizophrenia, i believe, it is called in western doctrine.
I had the strong believe that magic is possible and some unknown human wanted to hurt or kill me bad with it.
First, i tried to protect myself with various methods, some from fantasy books, some from personal conversation.
But nothing helped...
Then, i tried to counterattack with my own magic ability, just to find out, i had none.
Then serious minority feelings up to considerations of suicide set in.
Then, i just tryied to relax and get distracted with tv cartoons.

After some months the feelings of paranoia, fear and threat just went away...

Traditional shamanism has strong resemblances to this experiences of mine
and indeed after that, i took up my studies again and excelled at many occasions and now feel so confident in myself, as i never would have been able to believe beforehand.

Hui wui, if these numbers are representative for the german population on this site, we will be better off, talking spirituallity under "religion". :)

Mind you, many germans have to learn basic english in school, but it is not highly regarded by most...

Me, i am as anglophilic as one(german) could get, i guess.

So whats the news in germany?

I dont like our television. It is as interactive as a blow to the head. :)
