Hello, and welcome to the lecture on delusion. This is a very important lecture to touch on because it's critical to stay grounded, centered and balanced. Unusual and surreal events can occur during spiritual awakenings. So it's important to stay connected to the earthly reality. Otherwise, you can actually lose your mind. There can be times on your spiritual journey when you will brush with the supernatural and the bizarre.

It can be very disorienting and confusing because negotiating the non physical terrain of spirituality can be a bit dicey. Sometimes there's a fine line between spirituality and psychosis. What will happen to you when you start to see people who are not physical or experienced sensations that you feel outside of your body hear words that are never spoken? Or have an intuitive insights that run contrary to everything you've known up to that point. How do you feel? What do you think?

What will you do? There have been times in my life, when spiritual experiences were so strong and unusual. I thought I was going crazy. I simply didn't have any frame of reference for what I was experiencing. There was one time in particular when I was working as a healer. When I encountered what I consider to be very dark and dangerous energies.

I felt like I'd open some kind of Pandora's box, and I didn't know what I was doing. I felt like I got in way over my head and I didn't have enough experience, knowledge, skills or help. In fact, I got very scared. So I stopped doing anything even remotely connected to spirituality for nearly three years. So if you're attending on entering the spiritual world, how do you know where to draw the line between spirituality and what is delusional? It's very simple.

Genuine spiritual events will make your life better. You'll also be able to verify them in the physical world. That's why I include a verification sheet in all of my courses. It will keep you grounded and sane. Take Jesus for example. He performed miracles in the physical world to heal the sick, and he healed the lame and my spiritual experiences have opened my capacity as a healer.

So if someone comes to me for healing in regard to their anxiety attacks, then I expect their anxiety attacks to go away. The proof is always in the pudding. So if spiritual experiences are only in your imagination, and can't be verified in the physical world, then it should raise your Your eyebrows of suspicion. At that point, I highly recommend finding someone you can trust to get some support and advice. So if you have uncertain other worldly experiences while you're taking this class, and you feel like you need someone to share it with contact me are posted on the message board of this course. Connect with your fellow students.

They may be having similar experiences. Don't try and figure it out by yourself. Get some help. Okay, that's it for the lecture on delusion. Let's keep moving. And I'll see it the next lecture.
