Greetings Ross, I’m sitting here in my armchair looking out the window and feeling crushed that you experience so much pain and uncertainty. Honey, you are a beautiful brilliant man, with a soul of a hero, now I’m crying because I want you to know that, I will sit here feeling for you and find words to express, you are on your healing journey, you are a wounded hero and a wounded healer, initiation is a bitch. I hope I’m not intruding, more shortly, Lady G

You are very welcome, midlife meltdown burns, I know this to be true, life gets gritty sometimes, my past, shall I say is colorful, but then all of a sudden, hello I’m 73 and a bit crippled and wobbly, my sense of humor saves me and the truth of what I survived due to my own choices humbles me and in accepting my darkness I can let go, forgiveness is a gift I’ve given to myself. Later✌️&💚G

Sorry to hear times are challenging Ross. Only saw this today as your new post showed up on my feed. Not sure how I missed this but algorithm is my sense. Anyhow...hope you can lean deepky into what ails you. Blessings on that journey. 🙏

Very big things are happening in this world. I hope some of them include a healing for you.

What you describe resonated with me, especially the passage concerning missing years. I do, unfortunately, find that these journeys and these losses have to do with a greater scope of life than we normally can access with any understanding.

I know for myself levels of pain and missing years. This seems to work against a life that requires awareness and examination, yet your contributions have been very cogent despite your condition.

Regardless, all the best, Mr C. Your attempts at making philosophy understandable have been both welcome and worthy.

Thanks very much sir! I have always appreciated your constant solidarity in these things. And I think your one of the best, most original, and certainly most insightful writers on here🙏

I hope you can find something helpful now you know the root cause. I have had similar issues so I know how tough it can be.

Thank you very much! I'm hopeful myself now too. But we'll see....🙏🙏🍀

The singular feature of pain is that the sufferer is completely alone with it. Then there is no pain like spinal pain. Is it something a chiropractor could help with?

Ross Ion Coyle (M)'s avatar

I really hope so Robert. I've tried some chiropractors in the past, but they didn't identify the actual place of the problem. Hopefully now though it can be addressed. It's not even the pain that's the worst - I got to be able to ignore that - it's the perceptual distortions and the sense of unreality that comes from not receiving the sense data properly in the brain. It's like a perpetual twilight, and the feeling of not being a real person. But as I say, hopefully now something can be done.
