So today, with all the posts I've seen about acquiring powers, and my own recent experiences of dealing with all the suppressed shit in my own mind, I thought I would look into the correlation between madness and enlightenment.   Found this article: http://www.npr.org/2015/03/29/395849232/understanding-the-dark-side-of-enlightenment-on-diamond-mountain     My personal thoughts are if it doesn't make the world around you more vibrant, and your personal relationships more genuine then somethings wrong. If it's adding more shit in your mind maybe it's time to go for a walk in the woods. But we'll all do whatever it is we'll do.... and things like this will happen.
