Namaste Shivaniji,
That's great. Greater focus may perhaps translate into better gains.

Sorry to hear about this. Most diseases have to do with purging of negative karmas, and I have read biographies of saints having suffered the same to prepare and condition them for deeper sensitivity and wisdom. Ali Ibn Talib has also stated that diseases serve the purpose of destroying negative karmas though it will not bring about spiritual merit.

Igor Kufayev looks like an interesting person from what I have checked and I hope you have gained substantially from his satsang. Kybalion also seems to be interesting. I get to learn a lot from your posts about new stuff.

Your posts are quite informative and I have gained a lot from reading it. I am sure others have also profited from your writings. Imo, you have a razor sharp mind, and seems to learn very fast and grasps the essence of the subject quickly.This is a sign of intellectual austerity and is not something which is commonly seen.
As some say here on sf, perhaps you may have come on soul mission but have forgotten much of it after embodying due to the Kali Yuga's negative influences.
