Divine Madness
Divine madness, also known as ''theia mania'' and crazy wisdom, refers to unconventional, outrageous, unexpected, or unpredictable behavior linked to religious or spiritual pursuits. Examples of divine madness can be found in Hellenism, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sufism, and Shamanism. It is usually explained as a manifestation of enlightened behavior by persons who have transcended societal norms, or as a means of spiritual practice or teaching among mendicants and teachers. These behaviors may seem to be symptoms of mental illness to mainstream society, but are a form of religious ecstasy, or deliberate "strategic, purposeful activity," "by highly self-aware individuals making strategic use of the theme of madness in the construction of their public personas". Cross-cultural parallels According to June McDaniel and other scholars, divine madness is found in the history and practices of many cultures and may reflect religious ecstasy or expression of divine love.

Divine Madness (Bette Midler Album)
''Divine Madness'' is an album by American singer Bette Midler and the Harlettes, released in 1980. It is a live recording taken from Midler's '' Divine Madness'' concert film, released the same year. The album, however, does not contain any of Midler's comedy routines and features only her musical performances from the show and it in fact only provides half of the songs that appear in the film. The original live recordings were also to a large extent edited and re-recorded in the studio for the soundtrack album. Among the tracks included are "Big Noise From Winnetka", from Midler's disco album ''Thighs and Whispers'', repertoire standards like "Shiver Me Timbers", "Chapel of Love", "Leader of The Pack" and "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" along with two tracks from her movie '' The Rose'', "Stay With Me" and "Fire Down Below" (not originally included on the soundtrack) released earlier in 1980 and the ''Divine Madness'' album closes with renditions of rock classics like Bruce Springste ...
