love/unity experience increases difficulty with fear/seperation

[Plenum]

Hi there Glow -

Thanks for the heartfelt inquiry.

It sounds really difficult because so much of our conscious experience is mediated by the physical brain organ.

And so it's almost like the 'level of difficulty' has increased SIGNIFICANTLY if portions of your mind complex (like language skills, holistic analysis) become impaired or slowed down.

So the world might be offering exactly the same external inputs as before the injury - but now you don't have the means to digest or make sense of it as easily as before. And hence feeling so distant and separate from the moment.

I think it's great to ask the question that you have: about how to deal with this new state, rather than just trying to wind back the clock, and get back to the previous situation.

Sometimes we all encounter disease and physical handicaps which makes the previous state of life seem like an easy Paradise: compared to what we have to deal with right now.

Speaking from personal experience - when we do encounter one of these devastating physical/mental handicaps, the thing that is tested most is our sense of DISAPPOINTMENT. Things just don't work like the way that they did before. And that can be soul crushing. And disappointment can easily slide into Despair, if that catalyst beats on unchallenged.

But in my early 20's when I faced a two year period of physical limitation (quite serious), it was facing that personal Disappointment day-in, day-out, which forced me to grow.

I hated it!!

But my will and determination were forged by that Fire.

And eventually - conditions can change.

Much Love

Plenum/Garry
