Dear gothpyre,
I had an interesting experience with a schizophrenic. A friend had a nervous breakdown and I was visiting them in the hospital. They shared a room with a schizophrenic girl. She was a brilliant violin player. She often played for the other patients. I kept wanting to ask her if she could play a composition by Paganini. Well, she read my mind and said she would play Mozart since she did know any Paganini by heart. I was floored. Not to say this one experience means all schizophrenics are psychics but I have my suspicion that there is an openess of mind and potential knack for mental telepathy. It maybe ill adviced for a schizophrenic to open themselves even more if the mind is already having issues. Even if they are on meds and start seeing manifestations they have to wonder if the meds wore off or if the medication needs to be uped.
However, if a schizophrenic was determined do magic I would recommend they look at Bardon's Step 1 and 2 and spend a great deal of time on the soul mirror work, meditations, affirmations, mind discipline etc. This may even help alleviate their schizophrenia through mental disciplining. Only after great mastery of these two steps would I recommend moving forward. But I will say this. I make the same recommendation for any magician. Step 1 and 2 affect all the steps that come after. To be really good at magic mastery of these first two steps is crucial. Rawn's has a good website for Bardon.

Also, presently I am working with Robert to greatly expand and better explain Steps 1 and 2.

p.s. Have you seen the movie, "A Beautiful Mind"? It is about a Nobel Prize winning university professor who had schizophrenia and how he dealt with his halluciantions. Fascinating flick.
