Spiritual Growth or Bipolar Disorder?

Q:"I sometimes get sudden bursts of happiness... How can i keep that?"
A:"You could have bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression. These "bursts of happiness" could be the manic episodes, otherwise known as the "high." The other days are the depression days."


    • Peak experience is a term used to describe certain transpersonal and ecstatic states, particularly ones tinged with themes of euphoria, harmonization and interconnectedness. Participants characterize these experiences, and the revelations imparted therein, as possessing an ineffably mystical (or overtly religious) quality or essence.

    • Peak experiences are described by Maslow as especially joyous and exciting moments in life, involving sudden feelings of intense happiness and well-being, wonder and awe, and possibly also involving an awareness of transcendental unity or knowledge of higher truth (as though perceiving the world from an altered, and often vastly profound and awe-inspiring perspective).

    • Maslow describes how the peak experience tends to be uplifting and ego-transcending; it releases creative energies; it affirms the meaning and value of existence; it gives a sense of purpose to the individual; it gives a feeling of integration; it leaves a permanent mark on the individual, evidently changing them for the better.

    • It just happened to me today. I saw what I want in my life.

    • Think im goin even crazier... damn..
