of madness but I hope readers are openminded.
There is a high likelihood that were Jesus to be born today he or she
would have a very unusual experience of consciousness and would get a
diagnosis related to psychosis, unshared perceptions or auditory
hallucinations.
40 years ago hearing voices meant immediate hospitalisation. Today
hearing the voice of god is assumed to no longer experienced anywhere in
humankind anymore, and anything akin to it is severe mental illness
according to the medical and psychiatric model. Believing yourself to be
the direct descendant of god is also a psychiatric illness worthy of the
honour of being called madness.
Happy Easter.
