I thought that most of society had put aside the stigma associated with mental illness, but it seems that some members of this forum don’t believe that mental illness is a possibility when someone, soon after hearing stories of DMT experiences, starts hearing voices and as a result moves to a new state.

If someone complained of chest pains, lightheadedness, and numbness radiating down his left arm, I’d recommend he see a cardiologist. Would anyone here find that so objectionable? (I suppose some would!)

But as soon as I recommend seeking professional help for what seems to be a psychiatric problem, certain members get upset. There is no shame in acknowledging the possibility of a psychiatric problem. I know that some members here are very anti-establishment and will avoid conventional approaches to almost everything, but there are many caring health professionals out there.

I’m not qualified to diagnose such problems, nor are most (or all?) members of this forum, and a qualified professional can determine if the problem is related to sleep paralysis or something more serious.

If you’ve followed my posts, you’d know that I have no doubts concerning the reality of the immaterial realm, but if I started hearing voices while not under the influence of DMT, I would be very concerned about my mental health.

I also must say that I don’t believe that evil exists in the immaterial realm. Evil is an abstraction that people use to describe and explain pain and suffering in this physical world of ours. Where there is no physicality, there is no evil.
