ABSTRACT

Sahid had two years of psychotherapy in England with a therapist who said she could not communicate with his inner child. The different therapies revealed to him that he was deeply split into two people: a South Eastern Person (SEP), whom Sahid referred to as 'Mohammed' during our sessions, and a North Western Person (NWP), that is, Sahid, himself. Sahid, as an educated Westerner, could not accept God's proof of His own existence that God was giving him. The originality at the back of Sahid's mind, in the form of the God complex he was wrestling with, was something awesome. Sahid was having a 'creative illness' as described by Henri Ellenberger, nobly fighting the lazy urge to just give in and let himself be taken over by the God complex, but somehow it was going wrong and he could not help being Jesus, sometimes.
