1) Everyone experiences a split between their inner selves and how they present themselves to the world due to social pressures, not just those diagnosed with schizophrenia. 2) This pressure operates at multiple levels and causes people to pretend to be who they think they should be rather than accepting themselves. 3) This disconnect can cause severe stress and mental health issues, especially for those in positions of power and decision making. Meditating on God or a higher power may help alleviate this by raising people's thoughts above selfish desires and unrealistic expectations.

3. The split between inner and outer world is
not restricted merely to the patients but every
one of us apparently not suffering from
schizophrenia.
The social pressure inhibits us from
expressing ourselves and our views as they are.
This pressure operates at international, local
and even intrapersonal (difficulty to accept or
concede our deficiencies, mistakes, crimes, or
sins to ourselves) levels. We begin to assume
ourselves to be what we ought to be rather
than what we are!

4. This can create severe conflict and cause
severe stress which can ruin us (and also the
world simultaneously if we are in a position
decision making!).
Can NAMASMARAN i.e. remembrance of
God i.e. our true self help in this? It is
strongly hypothesized that NAMASMARAN
would help in most cases; because of its ability
to raise us above our petty drives and our
utopian infatuations!
