Hearing The Phone Ring

"He didn't believe in anything real. He only believed in what he saw."

I don't know who that message is for I just know that I am supposed to post it here. Someone was being cryptic today and blurted that out when I was on the edge of sleep. If it's for you then I hope it helps you.

Hi. I *think* this might be for me, or any number of people. I'm not sure. I just know that it struck a hard cord with me, let me explain: I hallucinate daily as I have schizophrenia and so I have bouts of psychosis. I often get stuck in a little world of my own and the message really hit home for me. It sort of hurts as that means my 'world' is fake, but at the same time this is good news. :)

The message might have not been for me or it might have been for a number of people, I just know it has helped me realize some things. :)

Hello, Merry. I am glad you wrote.

Pleroma can be cryptically vague at times. He doesn't always just speak to one person or even a small crowd. Sometimes several people could need the same message, just like you suspected.

I can see how, with schizophrenia, this message could make sense and how it can be both devastating but bring also bring sense of calm. Reality is a complicated thing! Adding the complex 'spice' of gnosticism in the mix can bring relief, though. You wont feel so much pressure. I hope you stick with it and relax into a childlike state of curiosity.

I am glad the message was meaningful. But I'll do you one better; read the newest blog post- the one titled "Donut and Soda Bottle-- a Mental Challenge!" Here's the link:

I think that the riddle can lead you in some positive directions for exploration.

I'll be posting hints every two months to the day to give people the chance to stretch their mental muscles. This mental exercise will be worth it, I promise you. The solution to the riddle gives me an endless source of joy, even on my worst days when I feel like I can't see past my own nose for all the problems I'm dealing with currently.
