I need help reconnecting with God

[Leo Gura]

@Clarence You need to clarify what your goals are with this work and then focus on those goals.

Hello there. I'll be honest with you, I haven't been connected with God in a while. Back from 2020 to 2023, I was pretty connected, but unfortunately I ended up with an episode of schizophrenia that got bad enough to require the implementation of antipsychotics. I have to stay on my medication for now because those schizophrenic episodes were unmanageable-- when I say I had schizophrenia, I mean that I was hearing voices and interacting with demons and having false memories and thinking there were dark conspiracies against me. Continuing to believe in God has helped get me through the schizophrenia and antipsychotic side effects, but I'd say that I believe in it rather than experience it for myself. 

I don't have the money for psychedelics right now, but when I used to connect with God the most was when I would do shrooms while I was still living with my mom. My frequent psychedelic usage led to some pretty solid God experiences being achieved even without psychedelics, and it became an almost consistent thing that I interacted with every day. Nowadays, my spirituality has gone stale and I can't access the creativity I used to get from having God experiences. How do I reconnect with God? Talk about what keeps God in your life and how you interact with it on a daily basis. 

There's nothing to reconnect to. You're already it.

It sounds more like you're suffering a lot and need to find everyday joy. Am I right?

Psychedelics and meditation retreats aren't the solution if you're struggling. Those things are destabilizing and are not appropriate if you're on the back foot in life.

Daily appreciation or gratitude journaling is a great step. Or if you want to access creativity block out a chunk on time to focus on your craft.

Personally, I would take doing something I'm excited about every day over god-bothering.
