Madness Decoded is a true story of how serendipity and self-experimentation led the author to a ground-breaking medical discovery that would bring about the convergence of science and spirituality. Samuel Porter, MD, has had a lifelong fascination with the phenomenon of madness, or psychosis. His curiosity heightened as a medical student. Upon observing psychotic patients up close, he started to think that psychiatrists were overlooking something in their analysis and interpretation of the condition. Later, as a doctor working at a psychiatric hospital where he had unlimited access to scores of psychotic patients, he became convinced that the mental health community needed to take a fresh look at the bizarre and ubiquitous phenomenon of psychosis. In a twist of fate, the psychological trauma from the sexual abuse he had endured as a child at the hands of a homosexual pedophile triggered a psychotic illness-bipolar disorder. He was able to observe psychosis from the perspective of his patients and made a discovery that would bring about a paradigm shift in our understanding of consciousness and the way we view mental illnesses: that the quantum world of science and the spirit world of religion are actually the same thing. These nonordinary realities are accessible only in a correspondingly nonordinary state of consciousness such as psychosis. This was the final piece of the puzzle to the age-old mystery of madness. After centuries of being at odds with each other, science has proven religions right.
