Thank you, Tom and thanks to all who have responded in this thread. Some very nice quotes indeed!
A year ago, I was diagnosed with what the medical profession calls "Conversion Disorder" and basically, the main treatment for it is called "Distraction Therapy".
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-...s/syc-20355197
It is very difficult to distract oneself when they go blind/deaf at the drop of a hat or collapse into a pile on the floor due to limb paralysis....it's like having a stroke without having a stroke and it's difficult to just ignore something that's so downright
annoying (if anything else).
They say it was brought on by my childhood trauma...maybe it was bought on by a premature kundalini awakening...who knows
how this started.
Often there is also associated neural/nerve pain, jaw pain, migraines, chest and throat pain, difficulty breathing and swallowing and my whole autonomic nervous system completely shuts down...problem is of course, all the doctors tell me that the more I focus on it, the worse the symptoms will get, when it is debilitating enough
already.
So all I can do is pray for Grace...a Divine intervention and intercession here...which, of course, is still focusing on the disease...it's a 'catch 22' whichever way I go.
So, to bring this back to Ramana Maharishi - and I apologise for my typographical error (that was not done intentionally) as I am still not really 100% fully cognitively functional. I never
used to make mistakes in spelling or grammar...or anything else for that matter...and now I am making heaps of them which is
also frustrating and annoying the hell out of me...it's like I have to see, think, act through a foggy haze all the time.
Anyway...here is Osho's take on it:

Here is a comparison between Ramana Maharishi and Ramakrishna Paramahansa in regards to experience and pain:

This is a lesson for me, but I am having a very difficult time learning it because it's hard for me to ignore my symptoms when I shouldn't be ignoring them, but dealing with them without focusing
on them...get it?
