Okay, let's make that spiritual.
Spiritually Insane, adverb & adjective, in a state that prevents perception into the spiritual environment, prevents spiritual actions or spiritual interaction.
Proverbs 12:15 “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that listens unto Counsel is wise."
The question is, who is the fool in this verse? It's someone who despises wisdom, mocks when guilty, quarrelsome or tyrannical but yet they think they are righteous. That's spiritually Insane because it's not normal spiritual perception. But it's not insane in the world's eyes. Council is one of the seven names of the Holy Spirit. Listening to the unseen Holy Spirit will make you wise.
Symptoms of the Spiritually Insane
1. Withdrawing from family, friends and others.
And they heard the voice of the Yahuah Elohiym walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Yahuah Elohiym amongst the trees of the garden. Genesis 3:8
Up to the point of the first sin, (Eve wanting to be the masculine creator god and Adam being the submissive) Adam and Eve walked the Garden of Eden together with Yahuah Elohiym. It was Heylel BenSahar who later became Satan that was prideful and wanted not only stay the top servant of Yahuah Elohiym, but be like Yahuah Elohiym having Eve being his top servant and Adam her submissive. Eve and Adam withdrew from Yahuah Elohiym.
2. Bizarre or unusual thinking.
Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure. But even their mind and conscience is defiled. They profess that they know Elohiym, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. Titus 1:15-16
The book of Titus was directed towards the Island of Crete. It is between Greece and Turkey to the south.
I quote, "During the Bronze Age, 3500 to 1000 BC, five thousand copper mines were excavated on the south shore of Lake Superior. Millions of pounds of copper were extracted. Only a miniscule fraction of this copper can be accounted for among the artifacts of Native Americans."
I quote, "Minoan civilization, Bronze Age civilization of Crete that flourished from about 3000 bce to about 1100 bce."
So what does these two quotes have to do with Spiritual insanity? Bizarre is extremely odd or eccentric behavior. My point is the missing background to the Island of Crete. Paul and Titus was taking on the worship of Zeus. In the Native American USA was the Thunderbird, the sky god. Zeus is called the god of the sky. Satan is called the prince of the power of the air. Zeus is Satan. But it's very hard to reveal the difference between the sky god and good people. Yahusha said to Peter, get behind me Satan. Peter was a stumbling block to what Yahusha was doing. Spiritually bizarre or unusual thinking is a stumbling block sometimes unseen.
3. Confusion and disorientation.
The opposite of confusion is understanding. Understanding is a Spirit. One of the Seven Spirits of the Holy Spirit. To be Spiritually Insane is to follow Satan the author of confusion.
For Elohiym is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 1 Corinthians 14:33
But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Hamashia. 2 Corinthians 11:3
4. Destructive or high-risk behaviour.
I'm reminded of the second sin in the Biblical timeline. That would be Cain and Abel. Once again pride was at the core of sin. Eve picked up on Satan's pride of wanting to be like Elohiym and then Cain wanted his efforts to be better than his brother. But it was not. It's not work and fruit that is a sacrifice for the removal of sin, it's a life for a life that is. It was Yahusha Hamashia's life that was. Then Yahusha conquered Death. Cain was destructive, he placed himself in a high risk situation where he feared for his life.
5. Hallucinations (you can see, hear, feel or taste something that is not actually there)
Hallucinations is another way of saying being deceived. Visual deception is, I quote, "the art and craft of using observable actions and images to deceive viewers." The question is, can visual deception come from the unseen spirit world?
Now the Spirit spoke expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils, 1 Timothy 4:1
The question is, what is a seducing spirit and a doctrine of a devil that would make people experience hallucinations?
The end results would be disrupting the interaction of nerve cells and the neurotransmitter serotonin. (Serotonin is a chemical that carries messages between nerve cells in the brain and throughout your body. Serotonin plays a key role in such body functions as mood, sleep, digestion, nausea, wound healing, bone health, blood clotting and sexual desire.) Without enough clean water, your brain cannot produce enough serotonin. Serotonin is what regulates on how you experience life.
What is interesting is that Yahusha said, those that believe on Him, as the scripture has said, out of their inner most soul shall flow rivers of living water.
The people in question that have spiritual hallucinations do not have living water. They have a comatose soul. Now add the seducing spirit and the doctrine of evil, it will lead this soul deeper into destruction. Evil will attack your morals, your physical body, and the metaphysical. Metaphysics is purely knowledge based, while spirituality combines knowledge with devotion. What Satan wants is your devotion. Satan attacked your morals, your body and your knowledge only to provide a hallucination that is a false hope to fix the problem he gave you in the first place. Spiritual fools fall for it and are devoted to falcehoods or Demonic activity.
6. Delusions (false beliefs, you strongly feel something is real, but it is not). Delusional thinking spiritually comes from false interpretations, false conclusions and false prophets.
For example the belief in who Satan is. Islam and the Christian faith believe that Satan is a fallen Cherub or something similar. Satan was full of Pride. But in Judaism, Satan is seen as an adversary, heavenly prosecutor and the Angel of Death. Judaism don't see Satan as a rival to Yahuah Elohiym. Jews use Isaiah 45:7 in support of their views on Satan.
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I Yahuah do all these things. Isaiah 45:7
It's the misinterpreted results that causes division and delusions. It's the previous verse that sets the timeframe of verse 7.
That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I Am Yahuah, and there is none else. Isaiah 45:6
The Light was formed but the darkness, also called Evil Yahuah created. This is the same word as in the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The question is, what is the difference between formed and created? To be formed as Adam was, it's like a potter shaping the clay. To create is like a woodsman cutting down trees.
I believe the setting of Isaiah 45:7 is the first day of creation in Genesis 1. This same word for created is in Genesis 1:1
In the beginning Elohiym created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:1
That is to say Elohiym cut something down to create our universe. What is interesting is to continue on.
And the earth became without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Elohiym moved upon the face of the waters.
And Elohiym said, Let there be light: and there was light. And Elohiym saw the light, that it was good: and Elohiym divided the light from the darkness.
What ever Elohiym cut down became, not was darkness. This darkness was destruction and misery . Scientists today know of a time of darkness by looking into space through powerful telescopes. They cannot see any farther. They do not have the technology to probe the darkness.
I quote, "Darkness isn’t always the absence of light. It can also be the inability of light to get very far."
In creation whe Elohiym said, Let there be light, it was the end of the 380,000 or 387,000 years when photons shot off into the Universe. That is why the cosmic microwaves. Light and darkness was divided.
The question is, when did evil first appear in the Bible? That would be the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Why would Elohiym place that tree in the Garden of Eden? I believe it's because we are made up of the same dust the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was. To divide light from darkness is to cause cosmic microwaves. To divide spiritual light in humans from Evil is to cause evil to become more condensed. This is seen in Yom Kippur.
The Delusion of thinking Elohiym is as evil as Satan is, is foolishness. To think Satan is still Elohiym's loyal servant is foolishness. Elohiym is cutting down Satan. People will follow Satan or Elohiym. They will love one and hate the other.
Yom Kippur
Yom Kippur shows us the character of Yahuah Elohiym. The Father in Heaven is more than what a human can understand. Through are limited eyes, we struggle to see who He is.
Yom Kippur is the day of Atonement. It is more than a Jewish holiday. It is for all the Tribes of Israel and those adopted into Israel through our High Priest Yahusha Hamashia in the Order of Melchizedek.
For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that you may be clean from all your sins before Yahuah. Leviticus 16:30
The first time we see the Hebrew word for cleanse is when Jacob said unto his household, Put away the strange elohiym. To put away strange gods is to say depart from or avoid them. The last time we see the Hebrew word for cleanse is purifier and purify.
And He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and He shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto Yahuah an offering in righteousness. Malachi 3:3
The point being is there is a pattern of separation from Satanic practices. An adversary cannot be part of a camp without the adversary causing the destruction of the camp. In Yom Kippur the sins is carried out of the camp by the scapegoat. The life of the first goat is taken into the Holy of Holies. Atonement is done for us by Yahusha Hamashia our High Priest in Heaven, not Jerusalem. Yom Kippur and the Temple of Jerusalem is a foreshadowing of Yahusha Hamashia and 30 CE.
It's the Spiritually Insane that blind the eyes of those who would make the choice for Truth. Those who would dare to challenge the adversary face demonic adversity. It's not always Elohiym's way of getting our attention. We can live a pure life and face opposition, pressure, chastening, illness and anguish. A lot of times opposition comes from what the military says, friendly fire. It may be a nasty granny or a puppet pastor in a church that drives out the believers by preserving the political manipulation it has on the people. It's not having the Holy Spirit is what makes people Spiritually Insane.
