Bi-Polar Disorder: The battle between soul and the ego

Or as I like to call it "I can't be ME, disorder".

As a previous sufferer of this disorder (6 years), I have greater individual experience in this area. I personally see Bi-Polar as a blessing in desguise, a spiritual awakening so to speak, which I will explain in further detail as we progress. I have now transcended bipolar disorder, not because I fought it, not because I took medication, but because I accepted and embraced. That I came to love and understand myself. That the love, understanding and support of others, helped to be come to peace within the physical world where we live.

BiPolar is an amazing gift, if you learn how to tame the beast and use your spiritual powers to the good. If you look back in history, to the myth of Hercules. The characteristics of Hercules would coincide to those that someone would now be classed as 'bi-polar'. So you are now classed as having some form of problem. In Ancient times, you would have been described as a god trapped inside a human body. His stroy alone would be enough to mimic a modern day bi-polar 'sufferer', one where he is both cursed by the gods, but also provided with poweful abilities.

What is bi-polar disorder?

First of all, lets imagine Bi-Polar as a temporary stroke, with a cycle recurring within a varying side of the brain, . When the 'stroke' occurs in one side of the brain, the victim is then only using the healthy side of the brain. Bi-Polar is effectively a stroke that does not actually cause any damage and is not as extreme perceptionally as a stroke, but the effect is very similar. If for example, an individual has a stroke within the left side of the brain, they would for a period of time, by operating 100% with the right side of the brain. At this point, they see the universe purely as energy (The quantum universe) and forget the meaning of every word. 'Sufferers' of Bi-polar also experience this sensation, only a milder version. The individual is either operating under the influence of either the left side, or the right, but not completely one or the other (Around 75-90% influence of one side). So that's essentially why an indvidual would be bipolar (not necessarally have a disorder).

How is bi-polar disorder caused?

Apparently, there is no known cause and some even say it's genetic (vommits with laughter at this allegation). Take a look a the most common new sufferers of Bi-Polar, an age group ranging from 15-24. What happens to individuals during this time? What is the common link? Why does it appear to be mostly found only within the 'civilised' world? Is it merely not recognised outside this scope, or simply does not exist outside the civilised world?

It is possibly a result of left brain programming failure? The age range in which coincidentally, most young adults would be be subjected to the highest levels of this form of programming. A time when you are choosing which individual tasks you wish to specialise in (Specialisation is anti-right side). Well it's a theorey, but to me, I have without unquestionable doubt, belief that this is the primary cause. My individual mindset, ie my outlook of the enviroment (perception), is the reason why Bi-Polar became a dibilitating illness (I care about the humans of the world). Personally, I prefer to view it as a spiritual journey, the helps you overcome all the negatives of the world.

Symptons:

Ok lets look at the symptons of Bi-Polar disorder, which of course occurs in two equal and opposite states "To every action, there is an equal an opposite reaction".

Mania/Manic

Hyper Energetic, Hyper Creative/Inventive, Happy (in a sense), Bold/Confident/Fearless, Optimistic, Uncontrollable, abrupt, poor short term memory

Depression
Empathetic, Hypo Energetic, Lacking idea's, Depressive/Sad, Self loathing, Mousey/timid, Physical pain, pessismistic/sadistic, suicidal thoughts, lonely, Autistic memory

Ok, you may have a relative stable period between them at parts of the cycle, but basically your mentality cycles between two opposites.

Mania/Manic  - The explosion of self 

Hyper Energetic (Spiritual Energy), Hyper Creative/Inventive (Divine Intuition), Bold/Confident/Fearless (Higher frequency/Increased levels of harmony, determination to suceed without barriers), Optimistic (seeing the best of a undesirable world)

The Manic stage can be viewed as an 'explosion of self'. When your Ego collapses, your true self is released, your 'christ conciousness'. You become a being of your own universe, but within this one. You may think you are some form of messiah, here to change the world for the better. Ultimately, this is because in your own reality, you are. And you shouldn't be ashamed, anyone who wishes to be classed as a spiritual being, here to right the wrongs of the world, should be immensely proud of who they are. But this is not unique to you. The power of the christ consciousness is within us all, you have just been able to unlock this immense, freeing power, without requiring years of meditation.

Depression - The Collapse of the Ego 

The ego is a mirror, your perception of self in the physical universe.

The depression occurs due to your return to reality. To view depression metaphorically. If you percieve the manic stage as 'being on drugs', that provide the ultimate high, the depression would be best desribed as it's withdrawel symptons.
