Belief is a powerful concept to interpret. Getting diagnosed with any sort of terminal, life-threatening condition is not the easiest to refute either. Medical science proves one thing, but the mind doesn’t fully level with it. It can’t be…denial might set in. A good thing, if anyone were to ask me for my particular case. I refused treatments that for the most part? and in my opinion, are both too experimental and ephemeral to try through.
While it might make treatments appear more difficult to go with—such as in my case? There is an explorative capacity for any person who has been diagnosed available now to attend to. Researching the human body? The separate systems and how they all integrate and co-align with one another. But then? As in the case has been up until this posting—no real solution feels adequate to undergo. Maybe this type of behavior could be interpreted as reckless or irresponsible, however? As most of those who have been diagnosed become rather familiar with: death is an inevitability. And so the self-seeking of therapies and treatments continue…”life must go on!” and, Yogi Berra’s,”It ain’t over ‘til it’s over…” resonate with me deeply.
Yes! This experience completely sucks! For lack of better words at the moment, it is like a gigantic pause on everything corresponding with my understanding of “reality” and being of service to others. But it is also the late rapper, Tupac with, “it’s on us to do what we gotta do to survive…” And I do see changes every time I grab hold of a stairwell bannister, or cling onto a friend’s shoulder. I am actively seeking full-recovery from my diagnosed case of Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. And I’m likely not the best person to give out medical advice as I am not a doctor so to anyone reading this? Please take this with a grain of salt as this is not to be consumed as medical advice. This is strictly an opinionated experiential belief, moreover, like the late, but great psychologist, Dr. Carl Jung shared regarding his personal relationship with his God, “It isn’t a belief—it is a knowing.”
And so I share what blocks me—most of all—is the idea that this illness for me has become more of a conscious awareness battle. To wake up one day? Out of the mist—out of the fog that consumes my mind and body day-in-day-out—and be completely restored? I think has a lot to do with, yes—the inputs, i.e., what is consumed—and including data sources other than ordinarily considered such as light and sound—meaning? It’s not simply about the foods and drinks that are ingested, but the habitual thought patterns that go along with them. It’s almost as though a complete RESTART is necessary. And that is where I considered to eliminate as much consumption as possible and turn to a state of absolute clarity.
Certainly no one is perfect—and myself included—I absolutely have my own demons and arrays of past desires that are still resonating heavily within me as though I were still completely capable. But confidence is a huge vacancy in my life that I have to adapt with and continuously work toward. Clarity? Has been the nearest and reachable ambition-position. I fully adhere toward practices of commitments to good health—in spite of my wayward immediate vicinity. Much easier is this walk amongst a group of individuals walking along the same current and I definitely could use more of this.
The stresses associated with this condition are seemingly insurmountable, and added to the fact that I have never taken any business courses to boot—I do believe—I know—that it is a matter of clarity in consciousness, and I will continue pursuing that very same commitment. Thank you for your time and continued patience. Feel free to scope out the store for more information and books that I managed to punch out. I do hope they find themselves as suitable to your own needs and condition in life.
All the best, honestly,
