朝聖興奮 聖人上身 旅客遊聖城行為古怪 現「耶路撒冷症候群」 (明報) 12月 18日 星期二 05:05AM

【明報專訊】聖誕節將至,以色列    聖城耶路撒冷總會吸引不少旅客由世界各地而來,追尋主耶穌的足舻。然而,倘若大家去到聖城,見到有旅客行為飄忽,宣稱看見異象,甚至自稱是大衛王或耶穌等《聖經》人物,請不要詫異:他們可能出現「耶路撒冷症候群」(Jerusalem Syndrome)。
「Givat Shaul精神健康中心」的急症室主管卡茨(Gregory Katz)在《英國    心理學雜誌》撰文,描述這種症候群的現象﹕患者當初為渴望單獨造訪耶路撒冷的心情而焦躁不安,最後到了聖城,會披起袍子說教講道起來。

自認聖母瑪利亞 披白色脇單講道
他舉例說,一名參加聖城遊的35歲女子連續3、4天失眠後,認定自己就是聖母瑪利亞。她披起白色脇單步出酒店,開始宣講遠離罪惡的道理,而且持續了幾天,但之後當事人卻絲毫不記得發生過的事。
導遊格林說,2003年帶團去耶路撒冷舊城,一名19歲美籍團友自稱目睹哭牆的磚石打開,救世主彌賽亞出現。「他看到異常的事,說石牆開了,彌賽亞出現對他講話。他出現幻覺和狂亂,最後要送院」。
以色列警方也表示,多年前有位年逾60的女子,在逾越節跟旅行團遊覽耶路撒冷期間失蹤。「我們翌日在伯利恆近拉結(雅各妻子)墓發現她。她整晚獨行了大概9公里。她告訴我們,她除獲得了啟示,別的都記不起了」。
有心理學家表示,耶路撒冷症候群本身不是機能或官能失調的症候群,而是一種精神異常表現。耶路撒冷精神科醫生卡利安(Moshe Kalian)說﹕「不是耶路撒冷使他們精神異常,他們早有精神障礙,而(耶路撒冷的)愉快情緒強化了他們的行為。」

受耶路撒冷激發 多有救世使命感
他表示,大部分個案的旅客腦裏均帶有救世的使命感,耶路撒冷只是激發這種行為的場景。他曾發表兩篇相關的學術文章,贅述了好一些中世紀以來耶路撒冷朝聖者古怪行為個案,而且患者的錯覺早在其他地方已開始。他寫道﹕ 「精神異常的旅客原不明顯的古怪行為和異常表現,在一抵達聖城那充斥其信仰軌舻的地理環境,便受到激發而一發不可收拾。」

神父﹕擾人行為違教義 (明報) 12月 18日 星期二 05:05AM

【明報專訊】聖誕節是朝聖旺季,聖城中又怎會少得香港信徒?過去也曾兩次到以色列    朝聖的香港教區副主教陳志明神父說,聖誕節強調天主是愛的信息,出發前總會調整心情︰「要放下生活習慣,預備自己成為朝聖者,信靠神的帶領」。他說,當去到聖城回想耶穌受難,因感動而流淚可以理解,但他提醒信眾要以「愛人如己」的心態去朝聖,任何暴力及擾人的行為都是違反聖經教義。
影音使團總幹事袁文煇,10多年前開始到以色列朝聖,此後又曾多次往當地拍攝節目,他說︰「參觀伯利恆及花園塚會有所感觸,特別是參觀花園塚時,看到耶穌復活留下的空墳墓,想像到耶穌受難的情,也試過流起淚來。」袁說,曾看到不少人到聖母堂的耶穌停屍間,親吻傳說中擺放耶穌屍體的一塊石,亦會唱聖詩,且不時有宣教士向途人講解聖經及聖城歷史故事,但都是出於善意,不會纏覑途人。

朝聖團領隊﹕見哭牆大哭是文化
當了7年領隊的陳先生,去年加入專辦朝聖團的「以航假期」,帶領朝聖團到以色列,他表示,未碰見過當地人有任何激烈行為,「今年最激烈都只是見到有一團亞洲旅客在哭牆放聲大哭,但我並不會感到驚訝,這是一種文化。」該旅行社今年會安排超過400名旅客到聖城觀光,人數比去年有輕微增長。
中文大學醫學院精神科副教授李誠表示,「耶路撒冷症候群」在港不常見,但患者在日常生活可看出有異樣,「即使未去亦已可發現問題,如一類有妄想症或躁狂症人士,會聲稱自己是耶穌要拯救世人,又或者聽到別人不相信天堂或地獄說,會不加思索斷言指出對方是錯的,但這類人為數不多。」李誠補充,一般信眾會知道非信眾會不相信聖經之言,如天堂及地獄說,但患者則無這意識。

警察專組接待異常旅客(明報)12月 18日 星期二 05:05AM
【明報專訊】耶路撒冷是猶太教徒、穆斯林、基督教和天主教徒的信仰聖地。以色列警方鑑於屢有外國旅客「聖人上身」,忽然忘我傳道,特別於1986年成立「警察旅遊組」,專責處理同類問題,醫院也有特別病房照料這類病人。

在這個隊伍裏工作了14年的瓦特哈烏卡爾說,他們每逢接獲旅客講道的報告便出動,將患者送進特設的醫院。他說﹕「我們年均處理十幾宗異常旅客事件……在聖誕和逾越節等特多旅客來訪聖城的期間尤其多。」
不過精神健康中心急症室主管卡茨稱,大部分耶路撒冷症候群患者都是虔誠教徒,多數是來自美國小鎮或北歐的中年人,而且通常是參加宗教團體組織的旅行團。「加上時差和數晚失眠,他們開始自認為《聖經]》人物,一身白衣地在聖地講道。這類行為可以是危險的。」
他補充,有類似行為的旅客年均雖有30至40名,但「真正」的耶路撒冷症候群患者僅佔少數。「這是極之罕見的。唯有那些沒有精神異常前科的人士,屬於耶路撒冷症候群。那通常是在他們首次踏足聖城時發生。他們見到現實與《聖經》裏的耶路撒冷出現了時空交錯。」

祂宣稱自己是神。那只有以下三個可能性:

(1) 祂是神;
(2) 祂是騙子;
(3) 祂是瘋子

祂是騙子?能騙你甚麼?
祂是瘋子,有那麼多人都瘋麼?
因此,祂是神!

這麼說~

Luke 2:49
And he said to them, Why were you looking for me? was it not clear to you that my right place was in my Father's house?

也可能是「耶路撒冷症候群」唷~

The Jerusalem Syndrome
by Davy Russell
POSTED: 21 July 2000

Every year in Israel's Holy City, a handful of Christian tourists are suddenly transformed from seemingly healthy, normal people to street preaching, psalm singing Bible characters often garbed in nothing more than a hotel bed sheet. Psychiatrists have a name for this sudden onset of delusion, the Jerusalem Syndrome, which was first diagnosed by Dr. Heinz Herman in the 1930's. Those who are affected by the Jerusalem Syndrome begin vigorously bathing to purify themselves, dress in robes or sheets, and begin preaching in the streets believing they are Moses, John the Baptist, or Jesus Christ, among others, who were sent on a "divine mission".

The Jerusalem Syndrome is usually benign; however, those affected by it have been known to cause trouble. Such was the case with Australian tourist Dennis Rohan in 1969. Claiming to be on a mission from God, Rohan set fire to the Al Aqsa Mosque, which lead to citywide riots. Since this incident, doctors and law enforcement treat the bizarre behaviour of the Jerusalem Syndrome with caution.

As the year 2000 approached, the number of tourists anticipating the coming apocalypse grew drastically, leading to an increase of strange Biblical figures roaming the streets of Jerusalem. It was estimated that as many as 50 people a week would require hospitalization, a startling increase from the average of 20 each year.

Although the Jerusalem Syndrome affects many that have a history of psychiatric problems, many who experience the same delusions are sane, healthy and successful businessmen, teachers, and professionals. The Syndrome usually affects Protestant Christians, but it has also been reported in religious Jews and in rare cases, Catholics. Usually lasting about a week, most can be brought back to reality (with help) and have no memory of their short-lived Biblical persona.

The most obvious cause of the Jerusalem Syndrome is religious fanaticism. The fact that it only affects Christians and some Jews suggests that subjects are prone to feeling a desire to be "called of God" and may interpret impressions and feelings that they get from touring the city as an actual Godly summons.

One of the more controversial theories suggests that the Jerusalem Syndrome has been around before Christianity, and may have actually contributed to the founding of the religion. This theory suggest that historical Bible figures such as John the Baptist, the apostles, and even Jesus Christ were affected by the syndrome. This, however, does not provide an explanation as to the origins of such phenomenon.

The Jerusalem Syndrome is not entirely exclusive to Jerusalem. All over the world, many people forsake otherwise ordinary lives to live out a Bible-hero persona.

我以前跟過的韓國牧師都有耶症候羣.他的手下都是如此.這班人基本上反知識,認為靠頭腦是不可以認識神.倡議牧師有等別的屬靈能力.他的聖職是由使徒承傳.十分強調每一個行為的是出於聖經.雖然不會英語,但却是一名King James Version Onlyist. 可能和他的出身是世上最大浸信會-聖樂教會有關.
