Your theory doesn't support the case of people with bipolar/schizophrenia psychosis with no trauma.

Some trauma isn't obvious to the victims. Like if a parent never emotionally connected with their children but still provided shelter, food, etc. Trauma can also be disguised under (pick your ideology / religion) and therefore the victim doesn't call it trauma. Other people experience trauma and the way their mind adapts is by forgetting. You'll often hear about these people remembering shocking things that no "normal" person would forget, like sexual abuse.

Also, trauma and drugs could be two of several ways of becoming open to the other world. Another could be genetic. Or there could be multiple other worlds or different categories of spiritual beings, some people susceptible to some and others to others.

Child neglect is often a bigger trauma than child abuse is. I'm talking about all known trauma recognized by professionals.

Bipolar/schizophrenia are often very genetic, they run in families.

It would be interesting to know what the percentages are on that. How many people with serious mental illness have trauma vs those who don’t.

This also contradicts your theory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeH8s-kzyXs. Might want to test for yourself.
