If you say no I cannot be guided by a Leader and Guide that most of humanity is veiled from, then, you have given up on the journey before you even got started!

What does this mean? I literally have no idea.

Leader of our time? What is this?

I don't know if you're actually seeing things, or just looking at stuff and assuming meaning that I don't assign. I want to talk to you, but I have real trouble understanding what you're saying.
One thing you should know that is I'm schizophrenic.   For a time, I took my experiences as all that, whether if I see devils or spirits/souls of dead people or a metaphysical reality like the tree of tuba, as all part of my illness. But then when believe in Islam and knew you are suppose to experience spiritual visions in the spiritual world, I said perhaps I am tried with this. 

Of course if I see people appearing on the streets and I say "by the name of God" and they disappear, like a man with a chain saw, I know this is a hallucination.

But if I get guidance in form of Worship, and I am being shown states to imitate that I myself don't know how to really fully practice but do my best to imitate the beauty and glory that I am shown...then this is not something my mind simply knows automatically and is deceiving me.


Of course my experiences are not a proof against anyone because I'm schizophrenic.  I'm on a heavy dose of medications so don't worry about that. 
 
Also, you can see what you see is a reality, a truth, and not just a hallucination. I don't know how to explain it, but I know it's part of my trial in this world to distinguish between genuine experiences and hallucinations. 

However, I perfectly understand if people take all that I experience as part of my schizophrenia.
