~~~Have you ever initiated the deep search for truth?
~~~How long did you spend there?
~~~Where or how far did it take you?
~~~What if you were given a Truth Serum?
~~~You awakened one day and there you were ... Staring back at you!
~~~Telling you things about who you are, or are not.
~~~If you have Lyme Complex Disease, I think you may have one or both feet
in the door to understanding this ...
~~~Your life as you knew it has been torn apart. Spiraling out of control!
~~~And you are left there wondering ...
~~~What's happening!
~~~Why this?
~~~Why me?
~~~Where did I go?
~~~Who am I?
~~~Who will I be?
~~~And, who are these people around me?
~~~I thought I knew them.
~~~They did not change.
~~~I did!
~~~And if they did not change, why are they different?
~~~Do they even know who they are?
~~~What is going on here?
~~~What is True?
~~~There's the question!
~~~And who decides what is true?
~~~And just where do I start?
~~~How about the ground floor ...
~~~Ground zero. The Ground of our Being. Tabula rasa/blank slate.. No Concepts.
~~~LCD affects our minds either directly or indirectly. Indirectly as being ill constantly over long periods of time can bring frustration, anger, resentment, depression, etc. Directly, as it can affect the psyche to these ends against our will, and not only just because we are constantly ill.
~~~Either way, the mind may be revealing ideas that are erroneous or not. And either way we must apply our ability to discern the difference between what we know to be true about ourselves and others and the world, and how our brain seems to be dictating us.
~~~If we allow our mind/brain, to dictate our truths we will
unwittingly become bound to an unwanted, unwarranted reality.
~~~Delusion ...
~~~This Truth Serum, The Lyme Complex, "The Bless-ed Curse", TLC, yes, Tender Loving Care because this is what we must gift ourselves, however, comes with the free will to use it as such. It takes an enormous amount of time, effort, and fortitude, but the rewards are incalculable and can bring about a liberating sense of freedom.
~~~You will suffer one way or the other. By not dealing with your issues, you will suffer indeterminately to no end. To deal with your issues, it may take a seemingly insurmountable degree of energy, but the relief from exploring these Everest odds will give you relief and satisfaction, Liberation, and in the end, the True Healing.
~~~So, the search for truth, no matter how difficult, may be the means to our sanity.
~~~Walking "The Razor's Edge" ...
~~~If the search for truth seems too difficult to embark upon, the question we must ask ourselves is "How's that working for me?"
~~~If we are honest, Truthful, with ourselves, the answer will be self-evident.
~~~Even if the Lyme Complex seems to be telling you things that are not true about "who am I?", YOU must tell you your truth.
~~~This Disease forces us into a corner, into "The Thinking Chair". Or at least, if you are not in it, GET IN IT!
~~~This is prime REAL-estate. We can wallow in our pain and misery, lamenting on what we've lost, or do not have, or spend valuable suffering time thinking/creating about our life's purpose and meaning.
~~~Where did I come from? What'll I do? Where will I go?
~~~The point is not necessarily to answer these quests, as you just may not find THE answer. But the pondering will lead you into uncharted territory. It will open the door into a heretofore unexamined reality.
~~~It is vital to our sanity to take advantage of this newfounding territory, Lyme Complex Dis-ease, to explore new horizons that this Complex compels in us.
~~~The alternative is to sit around and get Nowhere fast, or even get ourselves deeper in the ditch of despair.
~~~Or to go Now-here fast!
~~~So what then is THE TRUTH? This Serum is not about finding the ultimate truth, as this remains to be seen, it is about finding many smaller truths. The ultimate truth is the carrot stick dangling on a string in front of the ass's face just enough out of reach to keep us reaching!
~~~We've been placed in a unique and rare position to use our consciousness in ways we have not before this Lyme Complex.
~~~The thing about this Truth Serum is that it is an elective. It is not given to us as a spy would deliver against our will. We have a choice!
~~~It's a toughy! Hmmmm ... To allow this Complex to submit us into a negative dark haze of anger and resentment, writhing in mental anguish and pain, painfully easy to do ... or the perplexing choice to allow this Serum to lead/coax/compel us toward a Pure Land ...
~~~Except wherever it is you are, "where you're at", and move past never letting that stand in our way of transcending our present spiritual position.
~~~Lyme Complex does what it does, regardless of what or how we think about it. It is on a mission. And we must take to our mission and do what we must, standing firm in our seemingly impossible commitment to transcendence, spiraling upward, outward, inward ...
