Hi so I'm genuinely an inpatient psychiatric nurse.
OP is maaaybe describing a hallucination, but they're not reporting paranoia, their language choice doesn't exhibit disorganization, and they're not arguing any observable fact, they're just speculating on a spiritual / metaphyiscal interpretation of the world. Hallucinations themselves even have a wide variety of interpretations outside of the western world that are not pathalogical in nature, and often people in those cultures with similar neuroatypicalities live much longer happier lives compared to those in western society. And even if we do classify it as a hallucination, that doesn't even mean schizophrenia. They can be singularly spontaneous and never occur again, they can be drug induced whether as part of individual's healthy or unhealthy use, or in many cases as part of a cultural or spiritual ritual.
Please stop spreading misinformation in my sub about BOTH mental illness AND spirituality or I'm gonna ban you. Or you can feel free to use the block button to block things you don't personally want to see. That's what it's for.
Thanks for your take. Not even a hallucination by the wikipedia definition, there was no interference with senses or what's in the current environment. If one wants to find some kind of a metaphysical analogue, it could be like gaining a memory of an event from another plane but I digress. It is what it is.
I'm more worried about people not recognizing what humans have always done but maybe disregard.
So anyway, what the fuck is this thing you made? Spinning circles? Looks like harmonics.
You know... Something like this:

The synthesis from the other thread is some kind of a multidimensional gimbal lock that displays quantum superpositions getting aligned in a pulse
