Enlightenment & Schizotypal Personalities

Schizotypal Personality: a mild genetic version of schizophrenia.

Schizotypal personalities are characterized by odd forms of thought, perception and beliefs. They may have bizarre mannerisms, an eccentric appearance, and speech that is excessively elaborate and difficult to follow. However, these cognitive distortions and eccentricities are only considered to be a disorder when the behaviors become persistent and very disabling or distressing.

Shamans, witch doctors, mystics, psychics and clairvoyants - all have schizotypal personalities.

“Enlightenment” is a neurological phenomenon that occurs when an individual is able to simultaneously and accurately comprehend (or utilize) all four cognitive functions - Thinking, Intuition, Sensation and Feeling*. There appears to be some form of cascade effect that causes an alignment of information in all four quadrants. Unconscious memories of seemingly contradictory perceptions are instead understood to be complementary. After enlightenment when not alone with one’s thoughts there is a tendency to live in the moment. I believe this is a result of finding a balance between intuition, which is future oriented, and sensing, which is past oriented. Prior to enlightenment a person with a dominant perceiving preference will tend to be preoccupied with the past or future. Enlightenment doesn’t mean that someone will suddenly acquire facts that they had never experienced, as this is physically impossible. Instead relationships are found between different memories so that a new and more complete understanding of the world is obtained. The first experience is that of tremendous clarity of thought. You wake up and you understand the world so completely and can’t understand why no one else understands because it is so obvious. There is a startling realization of thousands of things simultaneously.

*The difference between the Feeling Function and Emotions can be understood more clearly. The Feeling Function is a cortical capacity to recognize the presence or absence of harmony – between colors, tones, or human beings. By contrast, emotions are a limbic capacity to experience delight, anger, fear, grief.
