I am 47. I have schizophrenia from past 4 years- mostly hearing voices and feeling movements and tactile sensations on my body and have had psychosis only once that lasted a few days. I have never been hospitalised. I have also been a Vipassana meditator for 20 years so I am a strong observer of my mind. Professionally I have been an Electronics scientist and software engineer, done great in academics and career. Hence I am qualified to write this answer. I will keep improving this answer. This is my personal observation and experience of schizophrenia, not based on any religious beliefs. I have also read many schizophrenia papers, talked to people suffering from it in person, through forums or social media accounts. I am theorising it because I know a lot. It’s upto to you to support or believe it. Two things are for sure- 1) the role of mindfulness meditative practices is imperative to understand schizophrenia and 2) there are outside forces in schizophrenia.

What is schizophrenia?

Firstly I would like you to check out the Ted talk on “how to control someone else’s arm” (https://youtu.be/rSQNi5sAwuc) to understand how we behave when neurologically connected.

Secondly, for the medical industry who is doing research- please don’t ignore the details of the symptoms and stress less on statistics. Investigation of schizophrenia needs some physics and metaphysics- just a biology or chemistry view won’t suffice. Also it may be prudent to consider external interference as the starting theory for schizophrenia.

Cause-

Finally in my view and personal experience – schizophrenia is a phenomenon where an external entity (possibly an evil spirit?) with malevolent intention connects to a human mind and body to do harm. Neurologically it can be seen as a multi mind phenomenon where two minds are connected neurologically. Their mental content (beliefs, feelings, etc) can travel through the human neurological barrier and manifest on the human body thereby allowing the evil spirits’ mind to be felt by the human as if his own. Thoughts, feelings and behaviours of the human thus get affected because the minds of the entity and the human being are connected. An induced thought or feeling causes irrational beliefs, symptoms and behaviours in the human being. I’ll be sharing this in more detail further down.

Why would an evil spirit be able to connect with a human?

If the human’s neurological, physical or mental barrier is weak due to stress, anxiety, depression, nervousness, thinking, muscle weakness, too much thought or feelings etc. But still if human awareness and cognition is strong he or she will be able to distinguish between the evil spirits’ mental content and it’s own.

How these spirits connect I don’t know. But they surely harm by bombarding the human being with vibrations of all kind- due to their connection sensory media like voices, images, smells, feelings etc and physical movements are generated causing sound, visions, etc and tactile sensations in the human. They can also play with the human faculty- memories, beliefs, thoughts and feelings. The idea is to weaken the human faculty mentally and physically so they can be harmed, controlled and possessed. Sometimes sexual harms and pain or torture is also inflicted upon the human being by using movements and vibrations. (I have experienced all the symptoms) Voices help in keeping the connection between the human and the entity alive, it also helps with control. For example if you keep talking to someone it’ll be difficult for the person to concentrate or pay attention on his activities. These entities can be distant and hidden in some cases and evident and within the human beings space in some cases- causing a range in which people experience schizophrenia.

Demons or evil humans?

For a long time I had this theory that these are lowly humans who have learnt some cheap tricks in cults or got access to some kind of signalling devices so they can do such harms. Because who believes in evil spirits? And so I thought they are doing this for terrorism of some kind. My hope was I could catch them some day. For example they would commit the mistake of spilling out their names or where they live during “hearing voices” etc. But over time I observed the extreme ignorance and extreme and continuity of harms and feel that this can’t be the work of a human being, not even a deranged psychopath. Humans can’t be so ruthless and cannot do harms “continuously” because they would need to take a food or bathroom break at least? These beings never stop. So its more plausible that these are evil spirits of some kind and for the sake of ease I am calling them demons. I am open to the idea of this being a human cultish or witchcraft activity but mainly would like to emphasise here that there is clear interference from outside- not any delusions. Or rather any delusions are actually a result of the play of these demonic beings. So the theory is- “there are outside malevolent harmful forces present in schizophrenia that are the cause of the symptoms”. Who or what they are , we need to investigate and theorise later. Right now we can just investigate the nature of interaction and how the manufestation causes the symptoms. (Many voice hearers and schizophrenics say the same thing- that there are outside forces- but this is ignored by medical science).

My case and the harms

In my case the demons violate my physical space and live with me. (There is a physical presence and violation I feel and their intention is to possess my whole faculty- which is basically about solving their life’s problem “forever”. If they violate the human space and get inside others they can experience the human faculty which is far superior than theirs-for example my demons like to enact facial expressions very much- they keep tapping into my memory for images and act out various expressions- these expressions can travel to them and help them “feel” the sensations and the expressions. That gives them the “feeling” of being alive or being “someone”. Seemingly they have subtle bodies and so the attachment to a physical form like us) They are also very interested in sex- it is the highest vibration they can enjoy. Their other driver is sexual energy which they collect and feed on to live.

They don’t eat, drink or sleep. They talk to me – it started with berating words for the first couple years (no impact on me except for concentration issues) to gain control over my mind but they had a lot of difficulty defeating my logic. They gave up and now it is normal conversation mostly about themselves- what they want etc (mostly to enjoy harming someone- logic is: since they can’t be happy no one else should be) and do movements using harmful vibrations (heat/burning) that harm my body physically. They can create physical pressure on my body and cause pain, strangulate my throat, cause me to cough, give me pain anywhere, block my thoughts, cause a limp in my walk, give me dream like states, do sexual harms etc. All this is temporary and changes. It is the “harms” they do. According to them it is their “way of life”. They enjoy harming and are incapable of anything else.

I’ll give you another example of their harms- they had told me about their intention to want me to be disabled 3 years ago by showing me the image of a wheelchair- my legs and arms should not work because that means I will be on the bed and in a susceptible or vulnerable position which they prefer. When I stand or sit they have to work harder. At that time I barely heard one or two voices once in a while with rare physical violations. Anyways back to the story, so they kept their word and started harming my legs by doing repetitive front and back movements and in the past two years I have been harmed so much in my feet has enormous swelling due to the inflammation caused by this and walking is now difficult for me. I already have a disability due to schizophrenia. Recently it pushed something burning like sensation into my left arm (shoulder joint point) so now my left arm is twisted. It keeps inflicting pain in it every now and then. I got an X-ray done day before yesterday and the technician found that I have an affected tendon in my left shoulder. The demons don’t let me use the left arm, if I use it to wear clothes or lift my arm for something they immediately instill pain in me. They like to tell me what they are doing so they say once they breakdown the body parts by these movements, heat etc they can put some material (invisible) inside so they can control me. Now their arm (action) can be connected to mine and whatever they do by that arm, I have to do. That way they can “control” me. Just like in the TED talk “How to control someone else’s arm”. They have also harmed my lower organs by inflicting pain and movements doing sexual harms whenever they like. Once the harm is done they are able to send some kind of flux which supposedly collects the sensations on my body and sends it to them- they now being able to feel my sensations. These are not delusions. My legs and arms aren’t working and collecting my sensations are a repetitive action. Btw many schizophrenia patients report this kind of torture which is completely ignored (I have read all scientific research on schizophrenia).

In my case the harms are too much and the demons don’t hide themselves. They also tell me what they are doing next. I think this can also be because I had very high concentration and self awareness so they couldn’t enter without my being aware. I don’t think I was a schizophrenia candidate at all. Some demons are afraid to come in, or get stuff from multiple people and prefer being distant. In some cases penetrating a human being may not be possible for various reasons like very good mental and physical health etc. Hence it is not possible for everyone with schizophrenia to know there are other beings connected to them.

Also btw my demon says this- “I want someone to stop me, who can stop me. I can’t be caught”. This makes me wonder if it could be human by chance and doing this kind of stuff? I would like to catch these beings and put them in a prison or a bottle- depending upon what they are.

Telecommunications Signaling

I have studied Electronics engineering and Computer Sc and worked in telecommunications software. I have also done semiconductor electronics research in US. I know a thing or two about signaling. To those who are not initiated to the basic concepts of telephony- voice is modulated after getting mixed with a carrier wave of high frequency so it can be transmitted and sent to a remote location. I want to share that there is signaling happening on and around me all the time. A signal shower comes in and fills my aura (I don’t know what really aura is but what I mean is the area around me that might contain my subtle energy and defines me). I feel it clearly as a flux. It happens at least once a day and especially at night when I am lying down. It fills me up and then movements begin around me or on me to harm me. It seems to me that these movements which have harmed my physical self significantly seem to cause my own signals or flux to be transmitted. The movements are “back and forth” repetitive movements across my body parts. Also the communication with the entities has a lot of methodology – for example they talk to me continuously until I say something in response. The moment I say something (in response to their talking because it’s difficult to ignore) a flux is transmitted from my body to outside somewhere. They are always on the look out for me to talk and respond- as if they get something out of it. Something about the movements and my talking to them helps them. I think they are using carrier wave technology in the same way- (this is nether a joke, nor my belief, nor a lie) when I say something the connection between them and me gets activated (both ways) and transmission of my energy or something else is possible. Sometimes I worry if these are humans and remotely connecting to me because then we are in grave danger. I also think (and have been told) that the more of my vibrations they have , the more control they have over me. They are also after sexual energy. I also don’t know why they tell me stuff- maybe they are too confident that they won’t be caught. Sometimes I think they are human but then what I don’t understand is why would they harm so much and that too continuously. I have refrained from certain topics in this write up for the sake of the not jarring experience of the reader. But there are extremes in the harms they do.

Realm of imagination/ tactile sensations

This is a theory but based on factual observations and also something that medical science will validate. These beings connect with us through our imagination circuitry- creating images, delusions inside us. For those who feel a lot of tactile sensations, and even see auras of beings entering the mind body system in your vicinity- it is not your delusion. It is this beings connecting through our imagination system which is also connected to our motor neurons. When you see an image and feel beings moving around or across you it is the motor neurons connected to the imaginary circuitry that are activated. Like when we imagine something we feel those emotions in our body and can even feel as if we are doing something?

Like if I haven’t completed my homework and I am afraid of going to school tomorrow let’s say I start imagining this- I am walking to my school and seeing my teacher, I feel afraid or avoid him since I haven’t done my homework and then I imagine the teacher sees me and is getting angry at me- while these images play on my mind, my corresponding emotions as well as feeling of walking etc can also be felt during the imagination process although nothing is real. Thus motor neurons and other neural circuitry is activated in imagination. This is already verified by medical science. Now in schizophrenia what I am saying is that patients are NOT imagining anything themselves- they are forced media onto these portals. These demonic beings are utilising the neurological circuits of imagination when it comes to projecting images and tactile sensations on the body. They for example may connect with you and play with images in your mind such that such imagination- paths are triggered. These are not delusions as understood by medical industry. These are external entities having access to your nervous system and playing with it. It is important that medical research pays attention to these things.I know this by noticing keenly for 4 years. Not any beliefs. Currently “everything” is loaded under one term- delusion and people are given psychotic medicines for it believing that they are imagining everything themselves. Medical Imaging has shown that when voices are heard and all these other symptoms manifest- the imagination areas of the brain are activated. But the difference is that we are not doing this by our own selves or due to our own illness- it is happening because the spirit energies connected to us are playing with our system.

Connecting material–

They have multiple invisible substances and mediums that they insert into my space which numbs body sensations and act as a medium to throw things like movements, vibrations into it. This is not my imagination. I can feel it very clearly. One of the stuff inserted has a slippery feel. It is organic. It could be a collection of their gross feelings like greed or something else because (where would demons keep “stuff”). Once they insert it in and around my legs for example they can throw in a movement style like someone else’s walking style. Then when they activate it my legs move like that. The medium keeps the memory of a movement inserted (like Devanand’s walking style) or facial expression (like Sharmila Tagore’s smile) intact and can be played just like a movie again and again. But mostly they use these mediums or substances to harm you physically- using up and down, back and forth movements to inflict pain and break down your body to make it weak, sexually harm you etc. They have access to our memory so they can download any media and get movement styles ,facial expressions etc from it. They can show the image of a film star for example and download her smile onto my face – the feeling of that facial expression comes into my face. I won’t look like that but I will feel that I have a similar expression on my face- the feeling is similar. If you knew well how mind and body works this could be understood easily.

The flat affect in schizophrenia

The flat affect in schizophrenia is the person not feeling much emotion even while talking about a traumatic event etc. In other words he or she doesn’t seem to exhibit any emotion. I have been dealing with schizophrenia for past 4–5 years, I see it clearly as demonic interference and I can explain what happens and what causes this effect.

Everyday since schizophrenia began as hearing voices in my case, a shower of vibration started coming over me. The shower would be very clear, and would only last for a minute or two in the beginning. It would be also very light and I did not really know what it was for or what it did. But it was clearly a shower of vibrations. Now as months and years passed this shower started becoming a strong flux of vibrations entering me every night from the top of my head. Once the vibrations became palpable I started observing what it did (and continues to do now). The vibrations feel very slippery, craving-like that slide around me- it has a feathery feeling. I have strong aversion for this vibration. It has an organic quality and surely has a heedless or greed-like quality to it. Once it slides in, it covers me everywhere in my body and suddenly all the vibrations I was feeling until now- my own vibrations of pain, heat, numbness, tiredness, itch etc on my body – suddenly vanish. Suddenly there is no feeling. Because of this newly added external layer that acts like a cushion. Here is the side effect- since I don’t feel my own vibrations anymore it also makes me feel “ok” however bad the situation- as in I am no more in any pain or tiredness etc. Because I can’t feel my feelings. It’s through my feelings that I come to know how I am. Now that awareness is gone. But I know this is not normal and is happening because this new additional cover of external vibration is hiding it.

I’ll explain this by the concept of Vipassana meditation since I have been a practitioner for 15+ years. When we sit to meditate on our feelings objectively in Vipassana we first always encounter feelings on the surface of our body especially those caused by outside vibrations or stimulus like the fan running and air moving, the touch of our clothes, someone talking etc. Our mind remains outwardly focused until we can slowly focus our mind on our icy and become capable of seeing what’s going on inside. Until the outside vibrations are dominant we won’t be able to focus on our inner vibrations. This is what happens in schizophrenia. There are outside demonic forces that play with our senses- in this case our body feeling which causes our mind to focus on the outside stimulus only kit allowing us to pay attention to or be aware of our inner vibrations. This causes most schizophrenics to be not aware of their body sensations which causes them to seem to have this flat effect or monotonality of emotion.

Varying symptoms in different people–

Since every person is different and every demon is different and the capabilities and strengths vary, the harms, type and the extent of harms vary in every case- for example in some people with schizophrenia voices are not so persistent as others, in some cases it is about paranoia, in others it’s about seeing scary images etc. Some people go through a lot of torture. Some people hear voices only once in a while. Hence not every one is able to observe or deduce that there is outside interference due to demonic beings.

Paranoia and feeling of control–

The feelings of paranoia and feeling of being controlled by someone are “real” in schizophrenia. The reality is that those feelings are being generated because of the presence of demons and the harms they are causing but since people may not know this they feel a loss of trust in general because they know something is wrong but what or who is unknown. Demons help with the other part. Firstly they have access to our memories, feelings and thoughts. They can play with our feelings, images, sounds etc. Beliefs are formed because of unwholesome feelings and negative thoughts. Demons can insert negative thoughts inside us and make us fall for untrue beliefs. If you especially have mistrust with someone they can accentuate those feelings.Since they have access to human perception and cognition due to their “vicinity” this is possible.

Demons can play with our awareness and cravings and using some of the mechanisms above actually “control” our actions. They “can” make us do something. (I’ll elaborate this later.)

Why is schizophrenia found in families?

In case of schizophrenia it is found in families because demons once connected to a member of the family can connect with other members as well. They are always on the lookout. Sometimes they can connect to more than one member at a time especially if they are living together, in the same space. I know this because my demons do this all the time – at least they try very hard, I don’t know if they are successful. I know they can play with members living with the schizophrenic because there is easy physical access.

Which symptoms are psychosis/delusions and which are NOT?

You might ask me what if this whole thing is a delusion? It is not. I want to clarify what is a delusional state that people experience and what is not and why- “delusion being not being able to see reality at is”.

1. Hearing voices is NOT a delusion, NOT an auditory hallucination as currently believed in the medical industry. It is a REAL experience because people can hear voices while being fully aware of their present reality. How it is happening? Due to connection with another entity that has access to our mind. When two minds connect there is telepathy- communication at the mind level. Please read my answer about hearing voices here

B P’s answer to How would you explain hearing voices

2. Seeing images is NOT a delusion- Many people see images while closing their eyes or see these images continuously for a long time- especially scary images, visions etc. Those are the games of the demon. Why I am saying these are not delusions because while seeing them people don’t lose their awareness. They see the image clearly, the image is being formed inside their neurological system and being fed to the eyes.

3. Feeling tactile sensations is not a delusion as explained above in the “Imagination” section. I can clearly feel the movements which are very deliberate and intentional. These movements can be easily palpable by any human being if you put your hand on the area where the patient is feeling the movement. These are not movements of my body- these are movements from outside on top of me. I can feel two types of movements-1) back and forth, up and down, pressure on body etc – these over a period of time cause pain, inflammation ne degeneration of the body part- for example my feet are harmed so much by these continuous movements that I can’t walk and have swelling 2) intentional movements intended to achieve something like feeling a hand grab me, rub on me, take some stuff from one side of my body and put in on Ian other side repetitively, sexual movements – movements done intentionally to arouse sexually, a hand pushing me or pushing stuff inside me etc. These kinds of movements are experienced by other patients of schizophrenia as well. I’ll add paper references later to this post for evidence.

4. Psychosis or Delusional states where people see or hear things that are not there- these ARE real delusions and these happen to some people with schizophrenia which is due to presence of outside entities. These are mostly multimodal in nature involving a no of senses especially visual. It is the visual component of this that causes the losing of awareness the most. Visual illusion is always the most powerful . What is it like? Like watching a 3D movie and being in a dreamlike state- except all feels very real.

Here people lose awareness of themselves and start seeing things that are not present for example they may see their dead grandma sitting on a chair etc. This is a delusion although still a play of the demon. The demons are able to do multiple things since they have connection with the human mind- access images, feelings and memories. For example they can choose to bring up a childhood photograph of mine from my mind and show it to me as an image. So while I am typing this for example suddenly an image of my baby time is projected in front of me- I know my imagination is being used because it is not using my normal vision. They can also send harmful vibrations and play with your awareness, increase your cravings or aversions etc. The delusional states of seeing weird images or being in dreamlike states are created by demons by playing with all of the above. Since they have access to memory and imagination they can “create” images of our dead grandma, friends etc as well, to confuse us. That is why ppl see their dead relatives etc.

What causes delusions?

There are separate physical areas in our brain that function as imagination and reality especially in the context of eyes or seeing. The area that sees things as real is the spot right above our eyes on our forehead- the point of meditation and Ajna chakra. The imagination area is right behind it and a little above in our brain. When we imagine our eyes look there. We all know this- it’s behind this spot and a little towards the top. Try it yourself. See what is in front of you and then imagine something. You’ll see how the vision is different- one is using normal vision, one is using imagination. Maybe the focal length or where the image is formed is different in these cases. I think the presence of demons and their play connects these two areas. Due to this, what a person imagines (which is planted by the demon) “seems” real. You hear stories about a schizophrenic seeing his grandma sitting on a chair and perceiving it as real. Also the demons play with imagination a lot using it as a portal to generate and transmit images. Our mind is not able to be in the present due to this.

How can schizophrenics know that they are having delusions?

They can’t know while they are having the delusion. But the delusion ends and they realise that what they are seeing is not true. Now they see there is just an empty chair in front of them, no grandma. There is some sense in us that tells us – this is the truth. Here they are experiencing full awareness. The state of awareness is always a restful state so they go back to it sooner or later. Thus they can know that they are having delusions. You know they are experiencing awareness when they are seeing what you also see. This is just an example in context of vision. Vision plays a very important role in schizophrenia. It is tampered with the most because it can cause the most delusion. Also schizophrenics may have some special dream experiences. Demons are beings living in the field of delusion- which is the place of complete imagination, no reality. So perhaps there is a way or portal for them to connect to our imagination or dream pathways. This can be investigated- can we connect through dreams?

Schizophrenics not feeling any sensation-

The demons are able to play with human thought and feeling. Many schizophrenics have reported this and I would also validate the clear violation of physical space , people in scientific papers have reported auras entering or leaving. These are not delusions. In my case they keep inserting some substance (maybe their own gross feelings) into my physical boundary – this has a mushy and weird feel but is invisible. It slides along my body surface, suffocates me and also immediately takes all my own sensations away. For example if I was feeling pain until now suddenly the pain vanishes. In my case they have also inserted that into my body through the mouth for example. Also after the insertion is done they have control over the movement of this substance or thing etc. They use that to do movements in the body.

Understanding this needs some Vipassana knowledge-We all know that when there is a sensory stimulus to us, our mind and body system responds with a sensation in the body associated with a thought or even more complex- action. My training through Vipassana has taught me to observe this very well. When we sit to meditate we always start with gross sensations especially things we feel due to a stimulus from outside – if the fan is running in summers we feel the wind on our body. Then as we keep meditating we go deeper and start feeling our inner subtler sensations. It is the awareness of these inner sensations that keeps us vigilant about ourselves and what is happening inside us. But if the outside stimulation is a lot going inside is not possible. For example if someone keeps talking to you especially close to your ear, or there is too much visual stimulation, your eyes are open, something is scratching you- our mind can only focus on these outside things and sensations originating due to stimuli from outside.

The same principle is happening in schizophrenia – the voices, the movements, the feelings due to these insertion of outside stuff, images, etc are constantly keeping our minds focussed on the outside. Especially we are unable to feel our own internal sensations of pain, numbness, tingling, burning etc when this outside stuff is present. That is why schizophrenia patients are not able to “feel” much. They mostly feel numb. Sometimes this can also mean a complete lack of awareness of one’s condition. It is the sensations that tell us how healthy or unhealthy we are. Schizophrenics can often be wrong there not having access to most of their sensations.

In my case they have used the substance to do all kinds of movements and vibrations inside me physically that harm the body. I have injury like pain everywhere in my body- I have access to this pain sometimes. (Doctors are “appalled” to see my condition) I prefer the painful feeling to no feeling because I prefer to be aware.

Once they have physical access of you very little can be done.

(I’ll share more about this later)

Medical science-

Medical science has not reached that place where they can prove the existence of invisible beings OR if these are humans connecting remotely. Such knowledge exists in meditative observation of reality. So schizophrenia will remain unsolved for a long time unless medical science joins hands with “Mindfulness” that offers plenty when it comes to the functioning of the mind. Another things is that it is very important to take people’s symptoms seriously not writing them off under an umbrella word of “delusions” and thinking of them as folks who have lost their mind due to their own craziness or incapability. Medical science is also very “tools” and “senses” based. It only believes in what can be verified by tools or the senses. But mind is very vast and deep and beyond the senses. Observation of an aware mind must be accepted as well even if it’s a minority.

Schizophrenia is not caused by childhood trauma or abuse even though there may be connections. These are scientific research done in western countries where drugs use, broken families etc is very common. Other countries should do their own research and get their own findings. I have lived a very happy childhood and adult years and have a strong family. It maybe that your family has an “association” with demons over past years without you knowing even going back generations which can cause these issues. There is a concept of “karma by association” in Buddha’s teachings.

Spirituality is able to explain this much better because it accepts the observation by a present mind as enough validation. There is nothing “irrational” about the presence of demonic beings in the universe who may have lower minds and subtle bodies. We should look at the universe very humbly.

Power of demons-

One thing is clear – demons or these evil spirits (or even evil humans connecting remotely) are not powerful at all. They are very ignorant and pitiful. Very deceptive. They only seem powerful because they are instigated very easily and can harm for no reasons. They are only capable of very low vibrations. These beings are threatened at everything. They also have NO moral limitations.

How demons enter you?

I don’t know if it’s the demon’s body themselves that is in my space or something they are connected to that they can insert or transmit into my space. There is a invisible physical thing that moves around in my space which has a mushy feel and is used to put pressure, instill pain, on me. They can also send vibrations inside me that feel like an electric flux of burning and heat entering me from outside. It’s not the same thing as feeling neurological burning pain inside me. I am able to distinguish between when it’s a violation and when it’s not, clearly. These are termed as tactile hallucinations by the medical industry but there is nothing hallucinatory about it. Other people can feel those movements or vibrations on me too, they are easily palpable. This is the worst that can happen to you. So clearly not delusional.

Why demons connect?

1. Demonic nature- demons (even if these are humans who know some horrible techniques) have a “superior” life once they connect to a human like this. Their continuous feelings of hatred, aversion, wanting to harm get an object. Harm is their craving. And their craving is satisfied. They enjoy it. The demons are extremely ignorant, deceptive, and harm continuously. They also don’t eat, drink or sleep. I have experienced this personally by waking up in the night to find activity happening on me in the form of movements- these are pain inflicting movements which they do continuously until they move on to a different activity. It used to shock me earlier to see them do something continuously but not any more.They are very repetitive in their actions.
2. Karma- Theirs and ours- Why they connect with only some of us? We may have karma with them. According to spirituality it is possible that these beings were part of our families, social lives etc in some past life that did not end well. If you don’t believe in spirituality or past life karma then here is the other reason- we became very weak mentally or spiritually as a result of a difficult situation and our own thinking patterns and became susceptible to attack by such forms. Why I am emphasising on karma is that there are many weak and disabled humans who never encounter any evil spirits in their lifetime. It is possible that this happens because they don’t have such past karmas.
3. Human nature- why did it happen in my case – my observation is this- I am very idealistic in nature and don’t go for survival even in difficult situations. I stick to the good principles and doing the right thing however sometimes it’s very challenging and causes me to be in vulnerable states. I also don’t ask for help easily. I am also very accepting of the universe and all beings. So the doors are open for all. I seldom think about protecting myself and care a lot about “others”. I have realised that this mentality leads to a mental and bodily potential which makes it easy for others to enter you or affect you easily. This is not a good thing and can create circumstances for harm to come to you- so self protection is very important. The demons connected with me long time (many years) ago when I was alone, not in a good place and not doing a job, although the manifestation of the “disorder” took time.

Early signs of schizophrenia

How they connected with me and how this transpired over many years? I have written about this in another Q&A here-

Arch B’s answer to Can you notice if you start getting schizophrenia? What are the first symptoms you experience?

Responsibility for schizophrenia–

The responsibility for our wellness always remains ours no matter what situation it is. I want to make it clear that I am not pushing the responsibility of my own mental illness on something else like demons. The responsibility is still mine. My practice of Vipassana has taught me that my mental patterns or tendencies alone are responsible for my condition or situation. And there is karma. Clearly I wasn’t strong enough, vigilant enough or aware enough or well enough in my good times to let something like this get into my consciousness. Now I have to suffer more. But I would like people to learn from my experience and be very vigilant about themselves so such harms don’t come to them. Because once this happens the challenges multiply.

Not seeing it as a demonic problem-

1. There is an advantage of not seeing this as a “demons problem” because it takes away the “fear” or “panic” this would cause and keeps the responsibility to our wellness ours which is important. It also protects our false “ego”. But truly it is only our karma – our own intentions, thinking, feeling or doing, our lack of vigilance that brings us such situations.
2. But knowing this phenomenon as external interference helps us see the problem in true light and solve for it accurately- it should give enough clues to science about what to investigate. For example mirror neurons and the content of voices should be investigated because I think that is at the basis of how all this transpires. Accepting the external agencies also removes a lot of the stigma attached to folks with schizophrenia.
3. Another important thing I feel is that schizophrenia surely has something to do with how we interact with “others”. There is something weak or erroneous about that causing this problem to manifest. It may helpful to retrospect or reflect on how our interactions with others are not mindful and put us in a weaker place. Are we forgetting about ourselves when interacting with others? Are we giving too much? Are we listening too much? Are we too empathetic or socially anxious. These are indicative of a weak neurological mental barrier that is weakening us creating opportunities for such entities to connect.

Self protection is key–

We have to stay away from negative vibrations and not be in low mental states for long, alone and without support. If you are aware of your weaknesses (being too nice, pleasing others, discounting yourself, not knowing how to survive, not taking care of yourself, not able to ask for help, low self esteem etc) it is important that you start working on them early on by finding paths of self realisation like yoga or meditation practises etc or going to a therapist and using psychology as a tool or getting social support- asking for help from a friend etc). It is important that you are strong and you look strong to others so others don’t take you for granted or harm you easily. We all have to be very vigilant about our present and past karmas.

Lastly, I am asking for your compassion for those who are suffering because schizophrenia is a very complex phenomenon and is not caused by mental craziness of any kind. This can happen to very good, capable, sane and rational people who have some neurological weakness (even high anxiety) which can be true for anybody these days and which may not have manifested yet. Please do respect the experiences of people with schizophrenia. What they say they are experiencing is true. This is critical in solving this social metaphysical neurological phenomenon.

About me

I wouldn’t have believed all this myself if someone came to me 3–4 years ago and told me. I had an old aunt (dead now, blood relation) who had once told me many years ago that beings visit her, she sees and hears them etc. But I did not believe her and tried to rationalise it to her logically how it was not possible. Relatives also mostly made fun of her. My siblings also have some symptoms of this disorder. I feel like I am not a typical case of schizophrenia because I was doing extremely well in life when this misfortune suddenly hit me- they just found me in the wrong place and wrong time, living alone – enough opportunity to do harms and experiment. I know this now because they are always hunting for others while connected to me. Now going through all this and so much suffering, I have to accept this unfortunate fact. I am very unwell now physically. The worst part is nobody believed you because it’s difficult to verify.

(ps: If you are interested in research on schizophrenia and have an open scientific mind, I’ll be happy to help. I have written this article in so much detail here so am intelligent psychiatrist, psychologist and technology team can take notice. Guys I am talking about telecommunications stuff going on here. At least there could be some ground breaking research that could be done to stop and cure schizophrenia. I hope you can trust me. And once again for the last time- none of the above is a delusion, belief or a lie to get your attention. It is the truth).
