With that information fresh in your mind, you need to decide if this is a topic that will trigger you or send you into a blind rage in the comments. If the answer is 'yes', then maybe sit this one out. If the answer is 'no', then enjoy the episode. You’re sitting alone, and suddenly a voice cuts through the silence. It knows your deepest fears, your hidden shame, and it won’t shut up. It’s not a friend, not your conscience—it’s something else, taunting you, day after day. For millions of people with schizophrenia, this isn’t a thought experiment—it’s their reality. But here’s the kicker: what if those voices aren’t just a glitch in the brain? What if they’re something… more?Thanks for 250 weeks of weird. We'll see you on the inside..-----TIME STAMPS:0:00 - Schizophrenia & The Supernatural0:36 - THEME MUSIC1:55 - You know right now if you'll like this episode or not, y'know?2:23 - TRIGGER WARNING: SPOOKY WORDS & FEELINGS INSIDE!3:39 - Overstimulated 6:23 - What Is Schizophrenia? 6:33 - Christian's a Lil Nervous 7:23 - Wilson Van Dusen & Jerry Marzinsky  8:33 - Emanuel Swedenborg Paved The Way9:33 - Lower-Order Spirits, Correspondences & The Battlefield For Your Mind10:53 - Marzinsky: Psychotherapist NOT Psycho Therapist 11:33 - An Amazing Journey Into the Psychotic Mind 12:23 - Spiritual Parasites That Feed Off Pain14:23 - Voices That Thrive on Fear 14:53 - Sherry Swiney's "That's A Lie" Method16:23 - Invaders, Not Hallucinations  23:23 - Controlling Intrusive Thoughts 28:03 - Western vs. Eastern Ideologies  30:48 - Religious Scriptural Correlations Around the World 32:23 - Christian Has The Hottest of Takes 42:13 - Schizophrenia vs. Spiritual Awakening Ted Talk (In Facebook Group)42:43 - Reddit Stories & First Hand Accounts42:56 - STORY: I Heard The Voices Too…50:49 - STORY: Uncontrolled Psychics 51:49 - STORY: The Whispering Demon55:23 - Shaman Weighs In On Western Medicine  56:03 - Psychosis v.
