Pro Opere et Gloria Dei

I guess to properly lay the foundation for my various true life experiences, bizarre as they may seem, it’s necessary to briefly review significant factors and events that (likely) may have contributed to my state of mental health as an adult. It’s my understanding that the several phenomena associated with Schozophrenia can have their basis in early-life brain injury (including prenatal, intra-uterine and post/natal injury or infection), genetic predisposition, and significant stressful experiences during extreme life conditions. While I can’t speak to any predisposition with which I may have been born, the fact remains that I was born with a severely crushed skull, having an extruded eye and evidence of cerebral bleeding consistent with a major stroke. Thus, according to literature I have reviewed, I was born with major neurological injuries that suggested a high vulnerability to Schizophrenia at some point in my life. I suppose the most convenient and interesting way to proceed is t...

On an unspecified date (meaning I have since forgotten) I was confronted with a strange hallucination as I sat in a doctor’s waiting room. Two people (apparently related) took their seats, accompanied by a small dog. When the man’s name was called, both people went into the exam area, leaving the dog alone in the chair in which it had been placed.  As I watched, the dog bolted for the door, exiting to the street outside. I was concerned the dog would be lost or harmed, so I went to the receptionist and told her about the dog that had run out. She stared at me, as if to ask “what dog?” Similarly, I noticed the same types of expression on the faces of the other waiting patients. Clearly there had been no dog present at any point (as if animals in general would be allowed into the waiting area in the first place). I would also note that of late I’ve been experiencing an increased number and frequency of auditory hallucinations, a type I generally don’t take note of, partially because ...
