Schizophrenic doodles/rambling.
If you look up Schizophrenic doodle writing, you will see very similar things. They think it has huge meaning but it's all just a part of Schizophrenia.
ShelleysSkylark@reddit
Not always schizophrenia, but likely psychosis which is a symptom of multiple disorders including schizophrenia.
While you expereince it, it's very real to you. Imagine if the sky was bright red one day - you'd be distressed, asking people why the sky is red, and everyone would be telling you the sky is blue. But you can see that it's red. You'd also be more susceptible to the random shit your brain throws at you, like telling you that everyone's conspiring against you and it's an elaborate joke (or something more sinister).
CupOfWhatNow@reddit
Is there a logical link between psychosis/schizophrenia and religious talk? Seems to be a common theme
armthesquids@reddit
I think there are larger recurring themes and depending on the person, they are filtered through different lenses. So someone who believes in God might go down a religious rabbit hole but an atheist is more likely to think something like, the CIA is after him
CupOfWhatNow@reddit
Yeah this seems likely. I had just noticed that very often during psychotic breaks religion becomes a large topic for the person suffering
pheeelco@reddit
Maybe.
Looks like the product of a manic state to me.

I'll be honest if your RE homework looks like this you should see the school counsellor for a sanity check

As a school counsellor, please bypass me and go straight to a GP
Dependent_One6034@reddit
In my school GCSEs I couldn't really bothered with the RE exam (had a death in the family, so really wasn't interested in anything at all during that time), So I drew a huge rabbit burrow that spanned every single page. Only question I answered was my name on the first page.
I didn't get in trouble, didn't actually hear anything about it until I got my results. I got a C somehow.
No-Cherry-3720@reddit
Probably out of fear
Dependent_One6034@reddit
I remember someone saying they likely believed I was a conscientious objector to religion. Not sure if that's actually correct but it would make sense.
No-Cherry-3720@reddit
Blue curtains moment? Or intentional meaning
Dependent_One6034@reddit
I'll be completely honest, I don't know what that means, Haven't really heard it before and google hasn't really helped me understand.
Could you clue me in on the meaning?

Do Not put the CD into your computer (if you even still have a CD-ROM drive).
Due-Parsley953@reddit
I was going to post saying that I KNOW I've seen this before. Somewhere in London, if my memory serves me correctly.
pheeelco@reddit
Me too. There have been posts about this before - I’m sure I saw one quite a few years ago, and many people responded that they had received the CD too.

Ok_Bumblebee_9873@reddit
It's sad how many people are using slurs for mental illness in this thread.
What you have here is an example of graphorrhea, the person who wrote it likely has schizophrenia. There is a phenomenon where people with schizophrenia can experience 'delusional meaning making' where they think they have uncovered some kind of truth and urgently need to share it with people. Interestingly many people experiencing this do almost exactly the same thing. This isn't the first time I've seen a post where someone has had a note or a cd covered in scrawlings put through their door! Themes found in these kind of scrawlings often revolve around religion and/or numbers. To the person who wrote it they make sense but that's because they're ill, they don't actually mean anything at all. It's basically just scribble.
No one actually knows for sure why the themes are often maths and religion but it's quite interesting Imo. Perhaps the parts of the brain that deal with these things are activated when people have these episodes.
You don't need to be worried though. It doesn't mean anything and you're not being targeted. They've very likely made multiple and shared them elsewhere too.

Sounds like a user-submitted entry for some lo-fi art project or a weird local marketing campaign that's been confusing Richmond residents for years.
HornetExciting409@reddit
Might seem silly, but if you feel inclined I’d suggest taking it to the police so that they can potentially run a welfare check on the person, as they might be known to them. Especially if this isn’t the first time it’s happened. They might need a bit of extra support right now, if they haven’t got it already. As others suggest, it seems mental health related.
disappointingcryptid@reddit
Especially considering the current events regarding Jewish communities in the UK; it's unlikely it'd be related but better safe than sorry I suppose.
Matchaparrot@reddit
Agree with this. I've done this for a neighbour before and they checked on him the next day
DellaMorte_X@reddit
Quite literally the ramblings of a madman.
Orr-Man@reddit
It's a CD about Jesus Christ. But it's been written and designed by Sauron.
Bifanarama@reddit
Lots of Hebrew in there. Google Lens should be able to translate.
Unlikely_Novel_7921@reddit
I haven’t bothered to read all of it but every bit I did bother looking at had the english right next to it. Their hand writing is not very good so I would assume that the person who made it doesn’t know Hebrew and was consulting a bilingual bible or something.

SilZXIII@reddit
I don’t know what the Hebrew says, but it’s mainly someone spamming religious content. Similar to the people who knock your door and ask you if you are available to talk about our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Regardless, do not try that disc. While I think it could be just someone spreading nonsense, foreign discs should never be tried on your devices that have sensitive information. The religious markings could be deliberate to make you think it’s “another one of those”, when in fact it could be really nasty malware.
Bit surprised they still go with CDs rather than USBs.
AdCautious6748@reddit
I have the setup to read random CDs on the street (an air-gapped computer for security research). Every time I see this I really want to ask for the CD but I don't want to accidentally buy some illegal stuff and commit a crime.

taskkill-IM@reddit

squarerootof@reddit
I feel like I've seen so many of these! Is the type of condition that causes people to make and write on CDs so common that there are repeated incidents all the time? Or is it one prolific person?
Confident_Tart_6694@reddit
CD has Hebrew writing and English. Christian ideas that Jesus is messiah, and god and the Holy Spirit (ruach hakodesh).
The paper has loads of madman ramblings connecting Hebrew bible verses to prophecies that allegedly predict Jesus and the second coming.
Rambles of a madman.
These organisations usually use Hebrew to attract Jews to convert to Judaism or maybe some non Jewish hippie types attracted to the foreign aesthetic.
captain_crackerjack@reddit
The market for Jews to convert to Judaism must be quite a small one
stillshadowy@reddit
if the redditor you replied to is american you will be waiting a very long time for the penny to drop.
Confident_Tart_6694@reddit
I am British. I agree it’s a niche audience but an organisation that exists. JEWS FOR Jesus in an example of an org.
I don’t think they are so succesful. Wimbledon is not such a Jewish area.
So maybe it is more general and they are using Hebrew words to appear more academic or mystical ?
I know Jewish people who receive these identical cds in Jewish areas of London.
decidedlyindecisive@reddit
Did you mean Jews to Christianity? Because I think Jewish people tend to already follow Judaism (conversations about cultural Jewishness aside).
Confident_Tart_6694@reddit
Sorry. Yes I meant that
it__wasnt__me__@reddit
Chabad Rabbis (I think thats the name) are a specific type of Rabbi that search out non practicing Jews to bring them into the faith. They may have other roles and people may be able to correct to me but there are quite a few of them.
peppermint_aero@reddit
Chabad rabbis wouldn't be involved in anything vaguely Jesus or Christian flavoured. This is Messianic stuff. It's Christian, just using Hebrew
it__wasnt__me__@reddit
Of course not. I was responding to the above comment. A little extra knowledge can't ever be a bad thing in my view.
I'd have thought my point was clear when I mentioned finding Jews to bring them into the faith sorry if I wasn't clear.

I absolutely love things like this because another human being sat and made this, and it could be the most important thing in the world to them that they needed to share. Yes to many people (especially non christians) this will come across as insanity, but it’s amazing nonetheless, even if i have no idea what his/her point may be in the verses and stuff they wrote!
ScaredPractice4967@reddit
Im afraid it looks way past evangelism and in to "my meds aren't helping much right now"
Mostly the lack of coherence.
An evangelist would write some passages from scripture then say "Come and worship/pray/meditate/study with us."
That isnt the message from this.
