@Chris Graham I was going through deep depression. I was smoking weed heavily and taking shrooms. A friend introduced me to mdma since she knew what I was going through. It helped me socialize at parties but I began to see synchronicity all around me and began to show signs of schizophrenia. My dad called the cops on me since he didnt know what I was going through and they took me to the hospital. I was in involuntary treatment for 2 weeks where I was prescribed Abilify and they performed cranial electrotherapy stimulation. I stopped taking Abilify a few weeks after since it was drug induced psychosis.

I’ve been through this since 2013, quietly ❤, been growing up spiritually… and is where I find my peace. Been experiencing so much things, beautiful ones. It’s a door to unimaginable things as spirits we are in physical bodies. It’s important to acknowledge that right before this path, I was on a deep depression, I questioned at that time almost all my core beliefs. Has been for me very liberating as a soul to experience this journey. I’ve been a “sick child” since baby. Multiple health conditions that helped me developed what I am. I’m grateful 🙏🏻

It happened to me at the beginning of 2017. My rational mind split and it was scary and confusing. What followed was a profound understanding of who we are and why we are here.

I was a former confident Atheist, now turned unexpected Spiritualist after my own Awakening. It's very difficult to discuss this, let alone explain it convincingly, with my science-minded friends. More and more of us are waking up. I'm glad knowledge about this is showing up more and more in our western society.

I heard a former psychotherapist say the only difference in someone who is schizophrenic and a psychic is grounding. This resonated so much. And Adam, found a place where he could ground and the place held boudaries for him. One has to grow and find their own inner boundaries, so very saddened a meditation place wouldn't re-open their doors to him. Hopefully there are other places that would open their doors for him. This is what I have always believed and happy to hear others speaking it, aloud.

I started to feel this alienation from the time I became aware of my Self, around four years old. I was taught to lose my true self from an early age. I went on to live almost forty years of my life totally lost. Nothing brought contentment. There were times I would quit the corporate life and seek out opportunities to work in communities. Then I'd go back. The nervous breakdown arrived, so named by various doctors, along with much touted medications and psychotherapy. I'm finding myself finally. I noticed what is understood as synchronicity, since forever! This video in August 2023 caused another realisation. I spent time with an old woman from our community, from about 4 years old to about 8 years old. No one spoke to her. Her family ignored her. She was spoken of as "not right in the head". Now I know why she was my friend. We had to move away as families in our community were relocated during the apartheid years. I got separated from my guide. Now the spirit of my late mother is my guide. Whoever read this to the end, thanks for bearing with me.

You will see your childhood guide and mother again in the spirit world but not before you become a guide.

In most cultures, there is a line where people understand what their loved one is experiencing is not a psychic experience, but a psychological condition. Reading books by healers in South Africa, Iran and other countries that utilize traditional healers, I have found that actually, there is a limit to what people will "tolerate." Maybe a family member brings their loved one to a traditional healer because they're talking about confusing things...occasionally traditional healers will find a shaman or a person having a spiritual experience. But often they will try to work with the person, find them incomprehensible, and recommend going to a psychiatrist or some other physician. Some priests find people in need of exorcism, but many priests will recommend they go to the hospital. Many people with schizophrenia around the world are locked in chains by their community, to keep others safe- it is not as though every rural village in Africa or elsewhere in the world values psychosis as a special gift. Not everyone experiencing psychosis is undergoing a spiritual experience- even spiritual leaders recognize this.

When I experienced this I was terrified for about a week because I was an atheist of sorts . But now I look back and I’m so happy it happened, it truly changed my life for the better and it was absolutely a defining time that I will remember forever ! Good luck to you

5 times in mental wards. I still speak my truth. The Dr's say your mad for seeing dead people when I see no disconnect between the dead and the living. We are living during the great awakening ❤

The panic when you get to far is awful. Thanks to this man/kid to me (Adam) for explaining it. To be honest it’s societies interference that makes it worse. I went through this.

This was powerful to see. Psychosis changed my life and helped me heal lifelong trauma and awaken my psychic abilities, but I had to fight for myself because western ways don’t get to the root, they just suppress symptoms. I talked about it on My Sacred Return podcast and I see a lot of similarities to the stories shared in this talk. We are so powerful, so gifted. May we all find our way back home to ourselves through these mental crisis’.

What abilities?

I was diagnosed bipolar after being in a facility around 6 years ago. For years I thought I was crazy I let them lead me to think I was just losing my sanity. But the spiritual events kept coming in and it got to a point where Im so sure that what I experienced was real. For awhile I was angry with all the suffering I went through but Im so glad I made it this far to see what I've seen in the world. It's given me comfort in life and death that ive never experienced before. Even with all the unexplainable things I've seen theres a thing in the back of my head that makes me question it all. Its this unnerving unknown that propels us to try to achieve our goals before the sand hits the bottom of the hourglass. I think this is something vital to our growth and the human experience and it makes life beautiful.

@HeadScrewOff I asked some that once. They had benn prescribed anti depressants, but were not taking them them, because they did not need them, but there were some downers prescribed with it 'amies'. Amatrypaline, or something like it. I know some one else on them. Their friends keep asking for the amies. I tried some. You get a good sleep off them.

Almost 20 years ago, I was a wild child, truant with diagnosed depression and eventually got thrown in jail for months while pregnant with my second child. I was left alone in my cell with just myself and my thoughts to meditate and think heavily at times. I came out a different person and always tell people that time in jail was actually a blessing in disguise and a huge awakening period for me. Never felt clinically depressed after that time and have viewed life differently ever since.

I've been a Mental Health Social Worker and Practitioner for a number of years now, and listening to some of my clients who appear "unwell", sometimes I wonder if there's a spiritual element to their experiences, that they don't quite have the insight to understand and express in that way. I find their stories fascinating and they don't always scream "psychosis".

I agree, can't put everyone into a western box and label them. It's never a one fits all.

I’ve been thru this & was all alone. I was overwhelmed & just like the young man said, I kept going deeper into it & finally got scared & derailed. Literally on my knees, begging for it to stop… mind blowing. But, no drugs & I knew I wasn’t crazy. And I had the self aaareness to know better than to go tell ppl who wouldn’t understand & might just tell me I was crazy. This was in 1996, about 26 yrs ago. One of the scariest parts, was that I was downloaded with knowledge that this was going to happen to many ppl all over the world. It was a ‘second coming’ of sorts, but not at all like what Christianity teaches… the Christ, Pure Love Energy, would rise within people. It would push up into conciousness, all untruths, guilt, shame, false beliefs, Fears, traumas… this would be very uncomfortable. Some would accept this & heal. Others would choose to deny, refuse to let go, accept Truth, etc & would tend to blame their discomfort on others The energy would get stronger & Some would not survive it… either becoming a danger to themselves &/or self & others. Some would choose to follow the Truth & healing. And, just like a Birth… Fear, tension, resistance make itvWORST! I volunteered then & there to be a ‘midwife’ of sorts when the time came. Someone to just reassure people, that this is a natural normal process, nothing to fear… just breath deep. Relax… your body knows what to do. Trust & surrender. Provide safety & calm by being WITH someone… reassurance… grounding. Encouraging self care. 🦋

After I went through a very painful memory that I had surpressed, I made a vow to myself. I swore that I would never let anyone walk it alone. I am aware now that I can't walk with them, and the worst part they must face alone. But I was at a loss as to how to help on a daily. As it is, I just relaxed and knew that I had to just keep putting one foot in front of another. I have a steady stream of those who seek me out and ask advice due to the nature of this Universe allowing us to be where we need to be, exactly when we are to be there. I wish to seek others though to talk with about this. I don't want to have to pay for it either, my gifts are what is available to everyone and to make $$ on these gifts is just as Jesus saw the Pharisees in His Father's house.(this is a personal opinion of course) I hope to soon meet others whom I can rest my lurking questions on.

My brother was a paranoid schizophrenic and he heard things and he knew things that others didn't. Many thought he was crazy. But I know with all my heart he wasn't crazy at all he just knew too much and couldn't comprehend it all. He took his life at 27 years old. What a tragedy. I believe trauma in our childhood affected us in many ways. I am a highly sensitive person and I sense energies, vibes and feelings of other people. I'm also an empathetic introvert. When I was 32 I tried DXM and it opened up my mind like never before. It blew me away. It's a hallucinogen. Everything clicked and made sense at the moment.

That presentation holds so much wisdom... I wish I could talk to the young man that had his awakening and was left without guidance. His next task is to challenge what he had experienced and start anew. That may sound scary at first, but this is just a brand new path and a chance to do what he loves. It was just an awakening and nothing more.

When he told the story of the woman hearing voices, for anyone who knows about DMX, he said a similar thing about the voices and personalities he had within him. As destructive as some of them appeared to be, to himself and those who would witness it, he said he needed all of them to get him through life. The human brain is the most powerful, fascinating and scary thing I am aware of.

My spiritual journey was very difficult, and it gave me incredible gifts, like telepathy, telekinesis, and psychic abilities. I looked at my reflection one day, and saw a golden halo. It's not always schizophrenia, like the masses believe, what if alot of these "schizophrenics" are actually highly gifted?

i agree!

'the psyche is self healing' and 'come out stronger at the end' is true indeed and I can attest to this. I struggle with depression for a little over a year long, so badly that I thought I was going to go crazy and end up ending my life; but I refused to take medications or see any 'Dr.' and decided to dive right into what I was going through. When I came out of this episode I had fallen into, I had learnt more about my self, my spirituality and just how much my soul was capable of than I had in my entire life and I felt "awakened" to some extent (even though it sounds silly). It may sound unbelievable, but sometimes I wish that I could go back to that hole, in order to dig out more of the essence of my spirit... But I am thankful for what it taught me; I no longer fear life, nor do I fear death, nor do I struggle with questions of "Why?" and I feel like any bump along my way is a blessing and no longer a brick wall or a burden... just another opportunity for growth and understanding.

Are you serious????? the rise of Mental illness is due to the fact that for the first time in history we have reached the period of time that Jesus Christ told there would be a mass turning away from all things good, an APOSTASY would happen before he returns and he is at the door now..... this is why so many people are nut jobs and depressed. The universe is not a being to give or take anything.

@Ben Sandoval your making no sense

Ironic. I had several “other worldly”, “spiritual”and “paranormal” experiences when I was exactly 14. I thought I was going crazy. I have lived a somewhat normal life since then and now I am 33 and still a bit drawn to spirituality but very much in tact with American culture and society. Something resonates with the work he has done and I hope more discoveries are made regarding this subject.

Spiritualism is very real many people are reawakening to it 🙏

SO powerful -- I am diagnosed as BiPolar and got my med increased to help with rising anxiety. I also had a "nervous breakdown" at age 22 and took myself off all those awful meds then. I'm just starting to think about that differently I was not ill but healing from a difficult childhood. I had visions paranoia etc. All in all I lead a successful life except still my inner world. I"m on the road to find out what works for me. I think meditation/exercise/hhealthy foods/cannabis!

this is such a beautiful & strong ted talk, i enjoyed every second of it. i am spiritual active myself with trying to self heal with plant medicine and meditation, i also got friends that went and are still going through psychosis, i cant wait to share this with them. i hope it can bring some more clarity for them! much love

💯%!! This is why I want to move honestly. I am highly gifted and it truly feels like a prison when I cannot use my spiritual gifts freely.

This information is essential. It’s sad how our society only accepts one mainstream reality, created by mass media

reading a book we surrender to the story. When hearing a song we surrender. Our emotions follow the story. We , most of the world , are head less chickens. running around. We do not percieve ourselfs as headless . Frasing it like that is a headless phrasing. It's just going for the obvious, the general. It is the opposite of taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture and ending up with bigger consciousness of what is going on. That is not mainstream.

Just went through this after 2 years it was a rough journey but at the end its definitely a awakening. At one point I literally thought I was going to die and cried for Jesus

Thanks for this amazing lecture with truly spiritually enriching experiences, much appreciated indeed!

So wonderful and so rare to observe someone speaking the truth.

Watching this in 2023 because I see my self getting liberated from everything I have ever known to be true and now that I see alot of what I thought I knew I realize I knew nothing all along and this is something I'm experiencing now and it's really helped me understand who I am thank you for this I'll be going to see a shaman as well to understand more

This is an amazing TED Talk! Well done!!! ❤️🧠😄

Thank you so much. I actually cried. I had synchronisites happen faster and faster to the point where I became terrified wishing it would stop and wondering if it was all in my head. I ended up hospitalised, diagnosed with bipolar, and put on massive doses of drugs that made me so ill. My memories of the synchronisation and how everything played out is now repressed and fragmented but I'm trying to get them back. Honestly... today I was wondering if I really am crazy, but got the urge to search for "psychosis spirituality" and found this video. I felt such shame and embarrassment for my ramblings while having a spiritual emergency, and now I finally feel validated. Thank you

I understand this all to well....Thank you for bringing this to the forefront. I had paranoid future predictions in my early twenties which all come true in time spoken to me by God. My family thought something was wrong with my spoken messages. I was labeled crazy by doctors put on medicines with many side effects. My angels and God still protect me still to this day. Only now 24years later some of my family are starting to come around that it was not crazy its a gift. I didn't like to be labeled nuts I only wanted to be believed. I paid a dear price for the misunderstanding from everyone that I should have trusted to share my gifts with.... Doctors can get it wrong.

I was misdiagnosed with Bipolar disorder because of my "spiritual connection to the universe" at 19 in 2000. I live in the religious South, where speaking of "energy", "connection" and "the universe" is crazy speak. I started meditating at age 5. I had always had a very emotional and physical connection to nature. Because of all this, I was put on medication for years. Now at age 35, trying to get off medication is making me physically ill. It's a lonely and scary experience here. I make art to try and explain the anguish, but again....the American south is afraid of the emotion behind it. I've longed for sisters and brothers that understand. The only way that I can connect through others is via social media and videos like this. I'm unsure of what to do or how to exist within this culture. It has led to severe depression and a constant feeling of being "homesick" for a world that is not our own....one that is beyond this one. Update for further explanation: I have seen therapists and psychiatrists for years since my “misdiagnosis” of Bipolar Disorder. All of my doctors after the year 2000 told me it was NOT bipolar. However, there’s nothing wrong with having Bipolar Disorder. The seroquel they put me on back when I was misdiagnosed became incredibly addictive as it’s now used for sleep and my body can’t get off of it. My point to my story was that someone with a high imagination and spiritual awareness and a creative heart and certain “gifts” can be misdiagnosed by aging conservative doctors who judge you by your tattoos and eccentricities. I’ve learned to find much better and younger doctors since then.

caseypromise please go back on your medication. believe me, I know the difficulties with coping with life. but it's something that we all need to do. I was diagnosed with schizoaffective bipolar at the age of 16. my life was in turmoil. I'm 21 now and I've gained great knowledge of coping skills. and I can say with confidence that I am 100% more happier.

I struggle with needing a counselor but fear of not being understood. Spirit is so much of who I am and every moment of my life. I've been blessed since being honest. All have understood and believed me.

this is exactly what I went through. They tried to put me in a hospital and they kept trying to put me on xyz pills. This time around, I was able to control my synchronisites. Usually if I am not on psychedelic, these things come in dream form and it really is powerful. We really are just spiritual beings in human form.

The term 'psychotic' was termed labelling at college. It was one of the main complaints on the humanities course. The scenerio is some bod who did a coarse and got a job from it needs to cover itself if confronted with a consultation so it takes the safest decision for itself, just in case of a problem. The uneducated are notoriously credulouse of these terms according to the lectures "no discernment". I found in spite of those complaints the only people aware of them were those who did the course, and those who did those courses year after year and heared them appear to have done very little. Inoticed in the legal cases I was involved in, any evidence that contradicted a viewpoint, or claim was witheld from the parties they wanted to convince. I found those minature cameras and recording equipment very useful in backing up that observation in the paper I wrote.

I taught emotionally disturbed teens for 28 years and I'm willing to bet almost all have empathic abilities and were going through Spiritual Awakening.

Well, spiritual awakenings and empathy have been part of human experience ever since we started being able to form models of the thoughts and feelings of others and recognize that we were part of a much larger world that could even be greater than our capacity for understanding. However, few people in my life considered my Disturbed Emoting as anything spiritual, awakened or empathetic. Those people who saw my potential for empathy and awakening and encouraged me were the ones who helped.

SEVEN SWORDS You yourself in another comment thread have said that the cause is because of the straying from Jesus. Where is your research or evidence for that? Seems you're projecting your BELIEFS just as much as our friend here. And I believe they are one and the same. I think most spiritualists would say that the cause of the rise of mental illness is due to society finding more value in raw numbers and statistics and facts over believing in a higher power. Same is true with religious folks they'd claim that this surge of mental illness is caused by the atheistic movement and nihilism moving people away from a form of beliefs and values that they derive from their religion to a society centered around facts that are observable. Don't be so harsh on others beliefs because the root issue isn't that we aren't following a specific belief, it's that we aren't following any belief at all. Please try to not be offended by this comment as I'm just trying to show that we all have a similar view on mental illness and it's pervasiveness as well as what causes it, and that our solutions while different in the end "higher power" being different still stem from the same idea of having belief in something that cannot be proven with statistics or research. You don't see the hand of God at work but you still know it's there despite it not being measurable and my own belief has a similar view I have no way of proving mine is any more "real" than yours but I believe it within myself and that is something much greater than cold hard facts could provide me.

I have these experiences my whole life. But, intuitively I knew that I was connected to something bigger. It actually has been an experience that has encompassed so many levels of consciousness & emotions. The experiences I’ve had are surreal.

​@Myzztic I been there too recently. What's on your mind?

I had a "Psychosis", It really makes you a different but better person. I always gravitate to doing the right thing in it and i believe is that your true self is taking over and tells you, that's how you are at the deepest level. It was my third but less intense than the second and the second was less intense than the first. Edit: What if an other person can take you over and that seems like a psychosis. At this point in my life i believe i never had a real psychosis but another person taking me over.

Every day for these past few weeks I have been feeling like I’m going crazy. I don’t know if I’m actually going crazy or if the world just isn’t operating properly and it sets such discomfort in my soul. Really needed to find this video tonight. Thank you.

I myself have had this spiritual awakening. When I was 17. Ever since I’ve lived with the suppression of it. Every major turn in my life was my surfacing. It has always shown itself as the understanding of me. I can,but never at any time wanted to give me up. I read people,times,and the future like a book,that I’m writing for those who have t seen it yet. Become people I just met ,and when I speak of myself,they see their own enlightenment. I being one with them,again before we met. I am alone,and all this I understanding is the realization ,I’m dealing with the thoughts I have of all of it,and the thoughts I have of that. I know who l am,and if anything,all of this is that. I speak with the power to move my world into who I am,and the answer to whatever,is to be that to. It’s a thought in your mind,and you’re everything if you let it be you.

The tragedy in our world is that we simply don't have time for ourselves , I was in a psychosis in 2019 and had to get medication to be an active member of society , we aren't allotted the time to walk these things out and come to the other end new , instead here we are tapering ourselves back to survive in this industry we now call life .

Such an important discussion, and Phil’s ted talk really only caresses the surface.. loving that this is on here!

I did mediumship for two years, and it messed me up, badly. I eventually stopped channelling and I began to learn and meditate with a real teacher. Now I'm much more intuitive and clear than I ever was before. We're here to embody our own Buddha Nature, and if you do that, you'll get a lot more than just clairvoyance. But this is hard, and false teachers are many 🙏💠.

I gave up on Ted Talks after the horrible hypnosis one. Then this one caught my attention. I was ready to be mad at the show. I was delightfully surprised! Thank you kind sir for speaking up today on this topic! I help people with their spiritual gifts and will share your video in our group.

I am very much in the middle of going through this myself. I've experienced so much synchronicity that people stop wanting to talk to me because I drive them crazy just needing to be heard. I'm developing more and more peaceful nature of writing, helping others, and leaving it in God's hands. Knowing that what I am supposed to do is beyond my comprehension of knowing moment to moment day to day anything more than what I'm perceiving. 10 years ago I started to write a book called Irony Plus Comedy Equals Divinity, subtitled Why Am I The Most Blessed Person You'll Meet. October 20th 2020 I was in a major car accident and was given full social security disability on the first go round. I was told that was unheard of. So this is where I'm at now and would love to talk to anybody that would indulge in a conversation that I believe would be life changing for both of us 🙏

Question the reality u perceive. How u view things is a result of the information u have consumed. Realise this and detach from how u currently view things and then look at society again, perspective. Avoid popular media and social media. Detach from the flow of information and seek out the truths of our world / society. Once u do this u might be able to relate to ur brother and form a deeper understanding. Also u will further ur understanding so u can help ur brother with his too… along this journey people can become delusional so don’t attach urself to ideas to much… along ur journey ur brother will start to respect ur opinions more and he might listen more❤️

Fascinating TED talk....Thank you Mr. Borges. My uncle was diagnosed with Schizophrenia some 25 years ago. His health kept getting worse and worse as a result of the medications, till he passed away last year at the age of just 53. He was the most gentle and compassionate soul. I wish my family could've seen your talk 25 years ago. He was so misunderstood. I can't hold back the tears...I wholeheartedly believe everything you said here, because I've had visions of things to come. Instances of Loved ones in a crisis who called my name even though they weren't there....and when I called them they had just got into an accident that nearly cost them their lives. This has happened several times for me. But I never spoke of it to anyone fearing the labels and the Stigma. I really hope we don't let Adam down, as our culture is in a real Spiritual Crisis. We need him and those with such strong connections to the Spirit world in order to carry on, to survive!

I grew up in a Christian family and it wasn't until after years of drug use that I broke out of the conformed thinking that I was led to believe. It was like life had led me to my salvation through a "by any means necessary" method. "Be careful what you wish for" is something I've found all too real when it comes to one's desires. You never know how the universe will answer your request.

I resonated with all of this. Been going through the rebirthing process after the dark night of the soul and have been expanding my consciousness for the last 3 years and it’s been indescribable.

The experience of Spiritual awakening in and of itself is not in any way what you could call psychotic. Psychosis is defined as a severe mental illness where one becomes totally out of touch with reality. Whereas spiritual awakening brings one up close with reality. It is, in a way, a return to sanity or to being more sane than you have ever been before. In psychosis thoughts tend to be incredibly confused, jumbled and even frantic and fearful whereas in spiritual awakening the inner mental noise begins to fall away and there are times of inner quiet or stillness.

I survived my drug abuse. After staying up for 5 days with no sleep whatsoever I saw things that I couldn’t explain. I saw people who weren’t actually there. I heard things that the human ear or others couldn’t hear, and I drove myself crazy and ended up behind bars and detoxed in jail. I don’t know how I allowed myself to become that person and get so bad but I’m still here and Im finally getting myself back together .

It's both. Enlightenment and psychosis.

I find this address very comforting & watch it every few months. In 2020, I had a night terror unlike any nightmare I had ever experienced. It was followed by sensitivity to light & sound that I explained to my doctor (he did a slow blink & was at a loss for words), and within a few months I had a mental/emotional/spiritual(?) breakdown at work that I couldn't understand & I narrowly escaped taking my own life. I had to go into a mental ward to protect me from myself. The content of this speech helps me believe that by seeking & building up an understanding of the truth of our spirits, I may yet understand those horribly dark days.

The young just came from the spirit world and the elderly are about to go back there, so they really have a lot in common... I cried. ..

I’ve had soooo many doctors try and tell me what I am 😮‍💨 Good thing I never listened , never took pills I was prescribed then as I got older I just stopped going to appointments in general as I got even older I had a spiritual awakening then EVERYTHING made sense 😅 I remember making therapist cry when hearing things about my childhood & wondering why it seemed so normal to me but so sad & traumatic to others. Now I’ve never felt more alive , I feel like im 7 again just so happy , free from people’s opinions & in control of my feelings 💖 Whenever I see people going through things I went through I just silently send positive and loving vibrations then pray they awaken to the truth in divine timing 🥳

Yes I've also been through this when I was 14 and thought I was losing my kind. I found spiritism and Buddhism 3 years later and it changed my beliefs a lot and also made me understand so many things about my life. It is believed that earth for a long time has been a place of suffering but the dynamics are now changing. That's why we have "starchilds" being born here to help humanity heal, people are also going through awakenings and increasing their awareness, a lot of wars happening because earth is in the process of changing. Look at our generation right now we are different from the previous ones, those who were oppressed are rising, people of color, women, LGBT+ etc. The period of changes is turbulent but soon earth won't be a place where we learn through suffering but through love.

I WOKE UP around 1976, and it has only gotten stronger with the years. The funny thing is that I always thought that "being enlightened" would mean that people looked up to me for it, that I would make friends more easily, that I would be more popular. In fact, it turned out to be just the opposite, and many people resent me for being happy and lighthearted, some hate me on sight, and very few "get me." But it is worth it, because I feel that I have fulfilled my purpose in life, the reason I am here. Now I know what the 11th century Zen master and poet, Tilopa, meant when he wrote: "When you look for it, you cannot find it. When you find it, you can't get rid of it. When you do neither, it's right there."
