Omniverse, I was not going to post in your thread because I did not understand all of it.
I was going to give you space and such :)
But did you see the news about John Nash's death?
He was the mathematician made famous by the Russel Crowe film "A Beautiful Mind".
Personally, I think there is a whole lot more to what some of these "crazy" people studied than what the MSM tells us.
yes they have a diagnosis, yes they have to see doctors,
but still there is something so fascinating and "extra-normal" about them, I guess "preternatural/paranormal" --
It's worth writing down and preserving some of the things they write/wrote.
Just because something seems complicated, wrong, or just "too different" doesn't mean it isn't worth analyzing.
There is also a phenomenon called "information overload", and personally I think it accounts for some of what we see in people like John Nash.
It wasn't just that his mind was apt to lean the way it did. He undoubtedly struck on enough truth and saw far enough into the workings of nature that it was very hard on him;
it's virtually impossible to communicate that kind of math/connectedness to living breathing humans.
Because humans want desperately to believe in their individuality, their separateness.
I think this is part of why many people fear death; death is the ultimate return to the All/Source, the point where we re-join the Universe as a whole and measure the worth of our lives against that whole.
Sorry for the long rant,
I just think it's special and interesting that you posted this thread literally the week John Nash was taken from us.
Bless you and keep writing, we all have a story to tell.

John Forbes Nash, Jr. (June 13, 1928 – May 23, 2015) was an American mathematician whose works in game theory, differential geometry, and partial differential equations have provided insight into the factors that govern chance and events inside complex systems in daily life.
His theories are used in economics, computing, evolutionary biology, artificial intelligence, accounting, politics and military theory. Serving as a Senior Research Mathematician at Princeton University during the latter part of his life, he shared the 1994 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences with game theorists Reinhard Selten and John Harsanyi. In 2015, he was awarded the Abel Prize (along with Louis Nirenberg) for his work on nonlinear partial differential equations.
In 1959, Nash began showing clear signs of mental illness, and spent several years at psychiatric hospitals being treated for paranoid schizophrenia. After 1970, his condition slowly improved, allowing him to return to academic work by the mid-1980s.[1] His struggles with his illness and his recovery became the basis for Sylvia Nasar's biography A Beautiful Mind as well as a feature film starring Russell Crowe.[2][3][4]
On May 23, 2015, Nash and his wife were killed in an automobile accident in New Jersey.
Although I did not study his life I wish I had met this man before he died.
