Against All Odds
| My cousin was mentally ill. He spent 30 years in an
institution. My father was mentally ill and also institutionalized. In
the monastery - years ago - we used to fast, often 4 months at a time.
That was when I started to get black-out spells with no recollection
what was happening to me for long periods of time. The fasting might
have caused my hallucinations. A mentally ill person is part of God’s
body as we all are. If society realized that, then they would treat the
mentally ill with more love and respect.
