In Japan, a groundbreaking approach known as tōjisha-kenkyū has emerged, challenging the prevailing narratives of mainstream psychiatry. Translated as 'the science of the self' or 'self-supported research,' this method encourages individuals with disabilities and/or mental illnesses to independently investigate and analyze their own experiences. This includes active individual research, sharing self-discoveries with other patients, and encouraging peer reviews of patients' experiences instead of the traditional reliance on a doctor's diagnosis. Originating as a grassroots movement primarily driven by people with schizophrenia and other mental health conditions, tōjisha-kenkyū has evolved over the past few decades into a revolutionary strategy transcending conventional psychiatry.

You are an upcoming progressive political party in a conservative and highly religious country. Currently, the majority of seats in parliament are occupied by members of an influential religious party. The national election is coming up, and you are trying to strategize the best messaging to appeal to voters.

"You believe in the teachings of a particular religion. But at the same time, you also take a position against the active exclusion of anyone who is arbitrarily deemed to have sinned (including but not limited to homosexuals, infidels, adulterers, and drinkers). 

In your religion, you are told that in Heaven, you will be close to God and your loved ones for eternity. However, you are devoid of free will and are required to be part of a fixed routine to pray, provide blessings, and carry out God’s will, at the exclusion of other people who do not strictly follow that religion. 

In Hell, you are free to commit any sins without judgment and consequences from any higher being. You will also be in the company of the group of individuals who were systematically excluded from that religion and Heaven. However, you will feel perpetually empty and devoid of the spiritual fulfillment you cherish.

Heaven and Hell are proven to exist.
