Spiritual Space Dementia (SSD)

Mental Illness Classified: Spiritual Space Dementia (SSD)

SSD develops when a subject is exposed to prolonged repetitions as one might experience aboard a ship. This differs from other forms of space dementia as the symptoms take on physical traits as opposed to purely mental. Religion during pioneering days played a major role in stabilizing these threats. However individualism amidst primal forces escalates into irrecoverable bouts of SSD, resulting in racial stereotypes such as the Sansha, Blood Raiders and rogue drones.

Spiritual manifestations triggered by the subconscious to combat dementia do not present themselves as ascended guides but bio emissions resulting from brainwave activity interacting with warp core magnetics. Sentient resonances manifested by subconscious reflections regarding God and other anomalous conundrums take on primal attributes akin to those found on terraforming worlds.

SSD first emerged as a form of stigmata related to dementia. Further studies revealed sentience imbued into the dementia because of synaptic explosions resonating with warp core emissions. Spiritual Space Dementia is a type of dementia with stigmata like symptoms resulting from regular dementia removing ascended qualities from magnetic disturbances.
In the early days space religion played the heavy role in stabilizing biological emissions. Current independencies in thought patterns related to planetary electromagnetic spectrums tied to genetic codex's have resulted in primal bouts of dementia:

Irreversible in cases such as Sansha, Blood Raiders, and rogue drones.

Evidence of this can be found in the flotsam of wreckage.

Once biological thought patterns consistent with that of self-preservation and the instincts for survival die within the genetic strain the spacial dementia sets in.

All life forms excrete DNA sequences. Under the pull of gravity brain wave activity is suppressed. As subconscious emanations lose touch with self-preservation, instincts independent of awareness concerning the collective unity of the intelligent eco system involved interact on cellular levels; Magnetic manifestations take on destructive qualities. These sources of disturbance can be sedated with proper medication but require regimented gravity time and psychological session time.

Dementia whether in space or planet side is always compounded by any lack of options. In space the options are consistently limited making the illness if successfully diagnosed a Flight License grounder. Homeopathic gravity wells of successfully terraformed planetary magnetospheres will rectify most afflictions after care and rest.

As someone who's lived their whole life in space with a solid spiritual grounding, I feel like I might have something to contribute to this thread...

But I can't make any sense of what Ephesianos is saying! Sad

I would advise you to limit the amount of mind-enhancers you supply to certain customers. There's been an increase in these esotheric threads as of late.
Expanding one's mind is good, overloading it to the point it blurts out mumbo-jumbo is not!

I agree with your point Ms Ymladris, but this fellow isn't one of my customers.
I advise my clients carefully on booster use, be it for combat, recreational or spiritual purposes.
I'd much rather they stay in a sound state of body and mind so they come back and buy more from me!

Do you also use the usually applied 'First shot is free' technique?

Because Far-que... That's why.

Warp travel has a tendency of messing some people's heads. For many people they get cynosis. For many others, it's *something*. Some are just mad and others are, well, they sort of concluded that they were demigods what with immortality and ability to cut fleets down at will?

Certainly, it's a time-honoured tradition in my line of business!

I'm sure I could arrange a good deal with a skilled tailor, too... I had a look at your work and while I'm not a fan of dresses and skirts, the quality does appear to be excellent. Do you do anything in leather with buckles?

Back on topic (from what I can gather from it, anyway)...

Staying true to your spirituality and beliefs, whatever they are, provides something for you to emotionally and mentally anchor yourself. For the majority of capsuleers who invoke a higher power in their lives, rituals, prayers and offerings play a part in establishing a routine that helps to stave away dementia and other mental illnesses.

Of course, you can take it to the extremes where belief and spirituality become very dangerous and genocidal; I'm sure I don't need to drop names to illustrate that point. But thankfully, cases like that are a very slim minority.

Science fiction fantasizes about ships consisting of nothing but core. Cerebral use of the spinal columns connections to different organs limits the ability to achieve this type of travel. Even when piloting from the pod a veteran with instincts serves better a crew than A.I. alone. Knowing ones limitations is key to suppressing the illness. Knowing ones own limitations and having faith in the reality lived separates good Will and ill Will during bouts.

For a captain to assume the role of God is to rationally self destruct. Logic fades in the eyes of no longer needing to perceive mystery. Conceptual intelligence depends upon environmental limitations which God is without. Logical conceptions depend upon humilities in sight of ignorance. The mental degradation occurs as the minds comprehension of wisdom about universal quests can not be processed.

During White Noise Generation tests (EVP) countless individuals were classified and recorded over periods of extended time. With various stimuli's to manifest a dynamic environment their recordings were then sent through the most updated language translator/filter to compile relative information. It was learned that these emanations were attributed to thought patterns however a presence could generate it's own thought pattern. This effects field integrity because of static discharge.

Shaping these effects is going to prove a challenge.

So...would this be a possible explanation of why I've seen sefrim-like beings? I manifested them because I am suffering from SSD?

Depends, when said beings manifested themselves, what where you high on and what kind of music where you listening to? You may have just been, as they say, "tripping balls"....

Wrong SSD is all about the Brain worms that sneak in through your mining beams, they get into your ship then infect your crew and turn them against you so you have to hit the self destruct and murder them all before they will murder you in your capsule unless you.
The brain worms can live in zero atmosphere of space and wait on asteroids for miners then infect them so that they are brought on to stations so they can then infect every one else worse is the Worm Queen connects them all with a Hive Mind...Were Doomed I tell you we are all DOOOOMED!

*bursts into mirthful laughter*
Sorry I really could not help my self, and no Brain worms are not real.

Some of the scientific papers being released these days have been rather strange.

"I say that even as the holy and the righteous cannot rise beyond the highest which is in each one of you - so the wicked and the weak cannot fall lower than the lowest which is in you also.  And as a single leaf turns not yellow but with the silent knowledge of the whole tree, so the wrong-doer cannot do wrong without the hidden will of you all."
