“How can “psychotic” experiences that are both terrifying and debilitating be seen as at all spiritual? Isn’t it true that looking for spirituality within psychosis is just a case of “romanticizing madness?”
That’s the question I take on in this updated post, and what follows is a deep exploration about trauma and loss, madness, fear, and spiritual experience.
I want to thank my friend Naas Siddiqui for prompting me to redo the post a bit so it could appear on a blog she works with, Spiritual Emergence and Other Extraordinary Experiences at CIIS.
