Quote:As you can see, he describes it as a mental disease that grips him and takes control of him that he sometimes loses hours in prayers. One of the reasons he was doing it was because he would suddenly feel guilt for being alive and for not being miserable as some people living in poverty were.

And it wasn't always in a form of praying, like he would make himself deliberately "ugly" and go to class because he wanted to feel humble for the sake of feeling gulty.

That's called Catholicism.

OK.
You've already told me that you recognise that you suffer from incurable delusions and paranoia. Do you think I should belueve you on this?

You wouldn't believe it unless it happened to you, which it won't, because you're not mentally ill.

Of course, this isn't really a "good" life, going in and out of dimensions. But there's just something about it. A perverse kind of appeal.

Alternate dimensions. It just happens.

FYI, using your imagination is not the same as crossing into alternate dimensions.

You use your imagination to get to the other dimensions. That's how it works.
