This also happened right after he did a deep dive into Mithraic religions, which heavily influenced his hallucinations. Makes me curious about the connection schizophrenia might have with religious obsessions. Makes me wonder if historic Oracles/ shamans might have been schizophrenic individuals. They just happened to live in a society that appreciated it instead of stigmatized it. Who knows. Definitely not me.

Schizophrenia often takes religious themes. I think it might be the other way around though. Religions often say that you’re always being monitored, your goodness is being judged, you need saved, etc. kinda decent material for delusions and paranoia so if you’re familiar with those teachings your mind might borrow from them.
