SCHIZOPHRENIA
———-
As a schizophrenic, I have experienced and deepened my faith in the
———-
sobering reality, the resident reality, and the resolute reality of God,
———-
through my Catholic faith.
———-
To not focus on the political church and all its travels thereto in dealing
———-
firsthand with an unbelieving world.
———-
To focus on the ardent faith available, expressed, offered, in its presentation of:
———-
faith and doctrine, reason, and tradition.
———-
To have experienced through my illness delusional dimensions, metaphysical dimensions,
———-
horrid dimensions, contradictory dimensions, deceptive dimensions, and angelic dimensions.
———-
The road home is supportive, comforting, rising out of the ashes under my two feet.
———-
If one says: “there is no God,” then in his mind he ceases to exist.
———-
For the uncaused cause is apparent perfection of inexhaustible light, inexhaustible power,
———-
inexhaustible wisdom, inexhaustible holiness, inexhaustible presence.
———-
To admit there is no God, one then denies his own cause. For all that is seen and unseen,
———-
there is cause.
———-
All that is visible and invisible has purpose.
———-
The uncaused cause, as St. Thomas Aquinas may agree, has no beginning, has no end,
———-
yet permits cause, temporally for mankind, in this great universe.
———-
God, as uncaused cause, ordains purpose, for mankind, in eternity.
