Hey guys, Â I’ve been on a journey (due to this site) of studying bipolar. Â I needed to work out why I’m so strongly against medicating this ‘illness’ and whether or not (given that it is a common illness) it could possibly be the transformation (evolution?) of the human from ego to enlightenment.Â
Someone posted a link to a video recently on here about a guy that suffers from bipolar. It is a brilliant portrayal (although sometimes extremely hard to watch) but you wont see a better and more real view of bipolar, it’s a documentary not a film. A part of me wanted to think this guys is nuts, I mean he even thought he was the messiah at one point. But, I also wonder, if it’s just his spirit overcoming his ego. I then wonder, if bipolar would even have depressive periods, if the ‘manic’ periods were embraced by those around them. Why are we so disturbed by manic episodes? Please watch the video to see the talk, the action and the manic episodes that I am referring to, here’s the link to the post about it;
Would this person get depressed if it wasn’t for people being scared of him when he is ‘manic’? Or if he wasn’t instantly put in hospital? I don’t know about you guys, but the end of this video really upsets me. This guy Sam, is an uglier, sadder and much more subdued (and depressed) version of himself than that at the beginning, due to the hospital visits and the medications. He thought he could ‘change america’ at the beginning and at the end he can’t even get a teaching job! Society did this to him, not his ‘illness’.
It also makes me feel a bit disturbed that society is so fucked up that it fights so hard against spiritual enlightenment. This video proves that there is just no need for spiritual enlightenment here on earth. Maybe, in a few more hundred years, when the majority have this ‘illness’ we will be forced to take notice, but for now, I am disturbed that these beautiful creatures are being tortured. Sounds so melodramatic I know, I’m sorry, but it’s how I’ve started to feel. I have posted a video below this that is quite good at talking the same way. However, the video of Sam (above) is a more realistic and clear proof example, that these people can’t survive here, unless they keep taking the medications and ‘get in line’. I find that so sad, in fact worse than sad, it makes me feel really hopeless about mankind at this present time and the foreseeable future.

Fantastic post Oliver. I also truly believe that bipolars are people who are, or are becoming, spiritually enlightened. It’s just society that has tried so hard to prevent us from remembering our true purposes, but you are right, more and more and more people are becoming bipolar (spiritually enlightened), a man made bullshit regime can’t fight it forever 🙂
Oliver, I am just like you, I first came on here due to feeling confused and depressed and thinking that I might actually be able to help someone. But instead I have actually discovered more about myself, the meaning of life and these ‘illnesses’ which is amazing, I LOVE this site, it’s my new best friend – sure we quarrel now and again like all friendships, but I still love it!
This youtube video about bipolars is beautiful and yet sad that our shitty society treats these people so bad, so clinically. I think that is on purpose to be honest, coz this shit society is afraid of people who can think and act beyond the ego coz it puts this society right in it’s place – THE GUTTER!
This is why I fucking hate how ‘mental problems’ are dealt with in this world. This place is making damn sure that we stay a world full of bastards.
This is all proof that this world is not yet ready for a new spiritual enlightenment. it is not ready to be brilliant.
Just imagine how fantastic this world could be if we followed our hearts instead of our egos. People in bipolar ‘manic’ episodes believe they can do ANYTHING yet society is here to keep dragging them back down to our shitty level. Sure, they say these people during manic episodes could end up jumping off a building or in front of a truck and that would be fatal – I agree with that, but isn’t that building and that truck a man made obstacle to where this person believes he can go? What if we didn’t have buildings and trucks, I am curious to see what these people could show us without stopping them before they get going. I’m far more curious of that than some politician on the TV talking even more absurd shit.
Thomas, the problem is not that the person might jump in front of a truck – that is only that person trying to understand what is happening to them. They believe they can do anything and so they become ‘manic’. It’s natural. But what our society does, is reign the person in at this stage and does not allow that person to fully experience it until the end. Maybe he would get a clearer message of what he is trying to do if he was allowed to just ‘feel’ and ‘experience’ it. I agree with the youtube video that the best way is to have 2 adults with open minds, with the person during the manic episodes
I agree with Oliver that the ‘depressed’ episodes are caused by his environment not allowing him to express himself, to explore what is happening to him. He is made to feel stupid, crazy and a danger. For someone that is extremely sensitive and loving, that’s the WORST possible way to treat them, for they would never want to upset anyone! The medical system has it all worked out just fine in order to prevent for as long as possible, our spiritual enlightenment.
The only TRUE evolution
This is why I understand 100% when someone bi-polar (or who is ‘enlightened’) simply can’t live here anymore. It’s easy to say to someone like that they should use what they have to ‘do good’ but how can they when society treats them as an illness? I’m sure they could do charity work or do something really creative, but isn’t that also asking them to ‘dumb down’ somewhat? To mold their expansive minds into am ‘art’ or something.
My sister committed suicide, she was bipolar. I have to say when she was ‘manic’ she was so beautiful I was transfixed on her. I agree that her low periods, her depressions only came when she was treated badly during her manic periods.
She spoke so much logical sense when she was manic, but to everyone else it was ‘crazy’ crap. Of course she would get down about that and she was also led to believe thats she was a ‘danger’ and I believe that contributed to her death. She would get so depressed that she was a ‘danger’ and that she scared people. She also felt that she was potentially capable of doing enormous things but she knew that this life wouldn’t allow her to do that. She had a choice of either taking medicine and living a restricted life that she would not enjoy, or death. Unfortunately for me, she chose death.
Ah, I see the knowledge is growing! Shame it’s only on a site for suicidal people and not in the mainstream society. It will take a very long time before mainstream society even acknowledge this topic, let alone understand it. I agree that it wont be in our lifetime.
Perfectly said Oliver! Great post, thanks
@flowers_av: yes I can also definitely see that the ‘knowledge’ is growing and growing here. This is such a surprising site! when I first came here (’bout a month ago), I never expected for my minds to be radically CHANGED like now! (especially after meeting and conversing with some truly sincere, beautiful souls here..)!
Regarding how it’s unfortunate such piece of information would only be ‘remembered’ on this site, I have to say that: the Choice is always ours.
“if we keep doing the same thing, we will yield the same thing”.
Hence, if we just keep posting & discussing this very ‘enlightening’ piece of information only HERE on this website,..then it’ll surely won’t go anywhere (at best though, we could only *hope* for Uncle Google to bring people to this light). But I believe we could choose to do so MUCH more with this piece of information.
I am seriously thinking of posting this information (along with Jentttar’s and Splinter’s posts in this SP website) on some Personality-Type and other forums that I’m frequently visiting, and I’ll also post ’em in my own personal Blog, that I’m currently planning to create….it’s all in memoirs of all these wonderful, beautiful people here (especially those who have died).
Their knowledges & ideas won’t STOP only here! It needs to grow further and further, so more people and hopefully the world (& future generations) would get to know more about these ‘truths’, also about our sickening society!
Somebody, WE, each of US, who have heard and read all these important informations, have a CHOICE to DO and ‘honor’ these info and memoirs, or just to STOP and disregard/ignore/throw it away.
I’ll choose the former,..no matter what will happen..it’s really *worth* it!
People need to know about these ‘truths’, instead of forever damn hidden and hence ‘abused’ by all those ‘The Man/System’s clever schemes, plans & trickeries. Heck no, and enough is enough!

Niki; I agree with you mate! What a brilliant idea, I am also going to find a way, in fact I am going to set up my own website about everything that is shit about this world and start a ‘movement’ a fucking global one. Not to cause massive unrest, or even fight the system, but just to DEMAND that those who can’t fit in to the main, either through circumstances or through bipolar reasons (being very different, more ‘enlightened’ beings) do not get shafted and left to die in this cruel world. It’s about time we started DOING SOMETHING to stop the out of control greed and ignorance of this world. My brother works for Uncle Google and he can ensure that my site keeps popping up in everyones faces! Hey I always knew he would come in useful one day! 🙂
Brilliant post Oliver, well done.
Excellent post! I have felt this about the bipolar phenomenon for ages. I’m pleased we’re all talking about it, but I agree with niki that we should expand this now, we need to pluck up the courage to bring this into the forefront of the society. I’m gonna do my bit.
@eatme & kabou: let’s do it, mates.
and know that you’re NOT alone.
thanks to some ‘eye-opening’ and ‘mind-boggling’ informations about Indigo Children, Starseed, I have recently researched, and surprisingly found that these ‘Higher-Consciousness spiritual’ thinking is getting more and more on the rise!
I mean just go google “Indigo children” for more information about it!
and also website like this one: http://lightworkers.org/
and also the “how I clobbered every bureucratic cash-confiscatory agency..” free eBook by Mary Croft, that many people here on this site have already aware and LOVED it (just go google & download it, it’s free!).
these might all appear ‘New-Agey’ at times,..but heck, ANYthing is better than to just give ‘the System/the Man’ more & more food to eat!
I truly believe it’s our TASK/purpose for those of us here who’re still LIVING this physical existence, to NOT join/participate in ‘the System’ anymore, and be brave, and spread the REAL truths that you’ve known about the sickness of it!
For humanity!
I just looked up bipolar online and it talks mostly of an ‘illness’ needing medication and I even saw a NHS article saying that bipolar people are most likely to be criminals and violent! I am not in the least bit surprised that so many of these poor people kill themselves. We’re monsters us humans.
