I had a hard time finding the "scientific evidence" in that article...

your mind has complete control over the physical health of your body.

But are you this body?
Or are you only focusing this body right now...And do you think it is possible to focus something beyond your body?

consciousness is not limited. It can not be. Your focus is always limited but not consciousness.
You completely missed the point of my post nor is this a theological thread. Your religious belief that "Christ/buddha was never born, and never dies" is just that --religious.
But, please stay on topic if you reply. The main point of my post was that we should NOT be locking anyone up in a mental hospital for "delusions" or "hallucinations" since the nature of reality is real to them, and how are we to know that it isn't us who are out-of-sync? We won't know until the day we die.
Isolomon claims to be God and the emperor of Japan and plenty of other people. I wouldn't bet on him changing his viewpoint about anything, no matter how hard you try to talk to him. He simply believes he's right because he's God.

I never mentioned God. I pointed out the ignorant use of the word Christ.
And this article is a perfect reason why psychiatry is a failed religion. --> HUMAN THOUGHT DETERMINES REALITY
And I'm telling he literally believes to be God. Like the one and only true God. So don't expect to have really meaningful conversations with him
There's no need to bring religion and theology into this, a dictionary will do.
If a person thinks they're Jesus of Nazareth , they SHOULD be in a mental hospital.
You lack a serious understanding of what the two words mean and I'm pointing it out.
Human thoughts DO determine reality, not inferring that human thought creates or controls reality. But instead that EVERY determination of reality IS a thought and nothing more. Reality just IS, and the determinations only exists as thought.

He probably isn't even really trying to understand what you post, most of the time he puts himself in an antagonizing position just for the sake of it.
You are correct that anyone having delusions should be psychologically assessed and taken care of if he can be a threat to himself or others. And that's coming from someone who had a psychotic break.
Isolomon will of course tell you that he feels perfectly fine and that schizoid people don't need help, only understanding, but he forgets that many schizoids completely flip out and do very stupid things. If they could reason clearly they would ask to be helped. Just don't bother with Isolomon he will never accept that mentally ills might need help, he refused to consult despite his family asking him years ago.
