I read about this concept in a book by a local master.

If you notice becoming more saint-like, better person, more understanding, helpful and loving depending on where and with whom you are, you can define yourself as vertically schizophrenic. If you can't admit it to yourself, you are very deep in the trap... years ago I realized I had fallen into that trap and I still haven't made my way up completely.

can you explain this more? What does it have to do with schizo and why vertical?

Why schizo? A division in the mind, not union... why not horizontal? because the person is considered normal by those around him, because he does not suffer from any mental disease classified in the DSM-IV.

.....don't forget hierchical paranoid delusions!

....without the vertical and the hierchical, what do you become?

masters! humph!

I don't know, but he's the only master I've met in person and he made a really big impression on me.

Oh, never heard of them. Please enlighten me.


Don't ask me.
