On Tuesday this week I got gastric flu.
I can not recall any specifically dangerous moment when I could catch it. My family is clear and still doing fine.
Dream in background
Before the day gastric flu started I had one dream in a series of different dreams which was particularly not pleasent.
I was in some room with some creatures (maybe two of them). I do not remember them in fact but they left some horrible impression after I woke up.
One of them touched my larynx in cricoid cartilage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Larynx_external_en.svg)
This was really not nice feeling. I was trying in the dream to feel anger and to protest but lost that memory though. I hope it is not related! :)
How to survive then, when I am not aware of so many things possibly influencing my life?
How to protect health / life if I do not know so many things around?
Related thought
Breaking health experiences are directing me in special way of thinking which is:
1. First - to survive! (at least it is going for more than one year from time of my first hospital visit)
And also:
what is the most important thing to remember always?
Now I was seating and scanning fora for gastric flu. Well - got several answers but which way my body goes?
In moments like this I feel so miserably stupid. Like a cow going to be eaten soon and completely not aware of what is going on outside it's meadow.
I felt like this after having dream with somebody invading my space and me not able to protect it.
So what is the most important thing at least for now?
To survive
But how?
.... I do not know. I listen to other "cows" :). I make assumptions. Try them and hope there will be enough time to test them.
Trying not to believe although believe is coming back stronger in time of illness. It is much easier to believe when I am sick.
I make work assumption that:
even if I try really hard I am possibly facing forces which I may compare situation to a cow trying to escape her meadow from human control.
(Again dream inspiration.)
So what?
Am I sentenced? Is it over?
Do I have control over anything in this life?
If I had control over anything it would be my... thoughts? No. Or maybe to some limited degree. But I have control over my decision. Even if I am faced with two same terrible scenarios ending with death (for example) I still may choose.
But what may I choose?
I think that one of those things is silence. I may face reality with silence no matter what is going to happen.
I think I may choose what I believe in although it is a bit higher level skill :) ? I do not know.
I may choose if I want to stick to my life and be worry that I loose it (someday) or I may take what is now and if "now" is "dying" then take that "dying" with most possbile joy of experiencing "my life now", only that one moment now.
Again taking this analogy with cows:
Why cows are not killed at once when they show some signs of insubordination or are they?
Today I had another dream which left impression that somebody was removing some part of my fore lobe of my right hemisphere. Not nice! I was trying to awake in my dream but could not. After I woke up I was content that it was “only a dream”. But was it? Why something / someone is invading my space?
What could that mean if it happened in “real” life?
Maybe one is that my security around my home is to weak?
Two, that somebody let in an unwanted guest.
Three, that I let them in thinking for example that they were friends.
Four, simply they had keys and no one let them in.
What does it mean when I loose part of my right fore lobe?
It is associated with emotions, creativity, problem solving, seeing consequences, social and sexual behavior.
Because it was invasion and not my decision I take it as aggressive act. I was forced to have new reality. Degraded reality?
What if I am doing it to myself? Am I degrading my right brain? Am I using it with force like an invader?
...raping the maden of the well
So, am I disturbing myself to survive?
What about first dream "invasion"? Could that be also me?
This is hard to answer.
What that place on larynx could mean?
One I associate possibly with throat chakra.
What act is that in particular? Is that lying? Is that expressing myself?
And that in consequence is impairing my information seeking, truth assimilation?
It happend that I dreamed it before my flu started. Could that be also related?
Something strikes and have effect when there is ready mechanism to make that effect happen. ? ...
Well, I do not know. Not trying to say that that dream in particular triggered illness. Maybe it was just coincidence?
Something in dream world was similar to this world? Then what?
Analogy: how above, so below?
What I may do whit those hypotheses?
If it was lying and not honest expressing myself then what was that in a fact?
Maybe just a decision to not to be honest and to protect my left brain constructs is enough to make such an imbalance?
And then intestines.
Are they somehow related to all mentioned above. The gut. The brain. The larynx.
Brain and larynx in dreams. Gut in real.
Gut is filtering food. Assimilates good things and not allows to enter bed things. The door through which outside world is coming in "digested" form. Well, in fact this is not first door however.
Assimilation is impaired. Assimilation of outside world for my own purposes. Purposes of development and survival.
Another hypothesis:
Is that like that that my gut may be attacked because it is already weak and it is week because of my decisions made.
And my decisions may be influenced by weakening of my gut?
Need to study this maiden thing more.
Going to sleep now. Answering to myself maybe inspired someone with some thoughts? Bye.

Each of us creates a representation of the world in which we live - that is, we create a map or model which we use to generate our behavior. Our representation of the world determines to a large degree what our experience of the world will be, how we will perceive the world, what choices we will see available to us as we live in the world. (...)
No two human beings have exactly the same experiences. The model that we create to guide us in the world is based in part upon our experiences. Each of us may, then, create a different model of the world we share and thus come to live in a somewhat different reality.
<snip>
So the processes which allow us to accomplish the most extraordinary and unique human activities are the same processes which block our further growth if we commit the error of mistaking the model for the reality. We can identify three general mechanisms by which we do this: Generalization, Deletion, and Distortion. ...]
Mikel,
I don't know if you've read the Wave Series yet, but I think you might find this chapter interesting:
http://www.cassiopaea.org/2010/05/18/the-wave-chapter-24-lucifer-and-the-pot-of-gold-or-the-quest-for-the-holy-grail-of-no-anticipation/
Basically, the side of the brain (left brain) that allows us to construct conceptual models of the world is also the one that formulates belief systems and all that implies. Every time we are using this part of our brain to the exclusion of our intuitive/creative right brain, we are "raping the maden of the well", as Laura puts it. This neglect of half of our brain has negative consequences for an individual and the world at large -- and this has been going on a long time!
Anyways, you might find that chapter interesting.

So, am I disturbing myself to survive?

This is hard to answer.
What that place on larynx could mean?
One I associate possibly with throat chakra.
OK. Taking it as working hypothesis. If that is me who badly touch that spot, then is that related to again aggressive act of "Left Brainer"?http://healing.about.com/cs/chakras/a/chakra5.htm
The Throat Chakra is associated with the color sky blue. This chakra is our will center. The healthfulness of the fifth chakra is in relation to how honestly one expresses himself/herself. Lying violates the body and spirit . We speak our choices with our voices (throats). All choices we make in our lives have consequences on an energetic level. Even choosing not to make a choice such as in repressing our anger (not speaking out) may manifest into laryngitis. We have all experienced that "lump in our throats" when we are at a crossroad of not knowing how to speak the right words in any given situation, perhaps even stuffing our own emotions. A challenge of the throat chakra is to express ourselves in the most truthful manner. Also to receive and assimilate information. Seek only the truth.
What act is that in particular? Is that lying? Is that expressing myself?
And that in consequence is impairing my information seeking, truth assimilation?
It happend that I dreamed it before my flu started. Could that be also related?
