Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Ram Dass , a spiritual leader, has written a book called Still HEre.. YEars ago he had written Be Here Now.. anyway he had a stroke..(he calls it being stroked) and he says it is becuase he did not listen to his body and ignored it as much as possible.. he said he saw his body as a vehicle for the soul and says his lack of love for his body contributed to his stroke. 2 Quotes.. ... " Healing is not the same as curing , after all; healing does not mean going back to the way things were before, but rather allowing what is now to move us closer to God. " once his Guru had said " I love suffering It brings me so close to God. " on time.. " As we learn to come into the present moment, we not only discover that we're able to free ourselves from the past, but from the future as well..AS the Tibetan teaching instructs , we learn not to invite the future into our thoughts before its time, or to cause ourselves unnecessary discomfort, for just as the past traps us in memories, the future traps us in anticipation. " I havent read the whole book yet.. I wonder if youve been to a doctor .. and if thats been of any help. I dont really understand what your describing -but i hope you feel better.
