    At what point did you embrace Substance Dualism? Have you answered the ontological question? Who influenced your decision on the mind-body problem: Plato, Aristole, Descartes or do you find yourself at a Cartesian impasse?

    Can you describe the reason for the meds and the physical/emotional/rational effects they had in your living?

    Were you under any therapy to help work through the huge emotional issues and anger from the negative self talk while taking the meds?

    Did you stop taking the medication during your later teen years, and before you were a believer?

    Would you feel comfortable describing a few of the battles (I am not asking for confession of sin but more the internal struggles)? I am interested in the haunting memories, reoccurring struggles with grandeur and persecution, and what background family history includes folks that you recognize had similar experience.

    I find myself a believer in His word seeking not to add to it or take away from it. Confession and forsaking.
