Hi Ensonar:
I'm not sure what or which techniques from the books you're referring to. Please be specific (so I can try to work off memory).
So far as recovery is concerned, I'm called "The Miracle Man" by the neuro surgeon (and staff) who put my spine back together and installed the titanium device that fused the 4 neck & 1 back vertibrae (3 broken ones fused to the adjacent non broken....medically abbreviated as "C's & F's"). The medical team didn't know how much paralysis and brain damage to expect, but they were all rather shocked when I awoke from the coma, got out of bed........and promptly fell as I tried to stand.
Topic of a whole other story: I had a "near death experience". My deceased mother took me to a meeting with God. Like I said, it's a whole different story & subject, so I won't go into details about the "meeting" however, I was touched by God and have experienced miraclous healing.
Anyway, back to the subject of "exercises". I'm really not a practicioner of many of the exercises as described in CC's books, but I do practice exercises that come from a different esoteric and/or socio-ethnic perspective. I meditate, sometimes entertain myself by playing with dreams, I'm big on Prayer, etc.
One of the complications as well as apparent alignments to CC's or DJ's teachings and that seems to further enhance what is happening to me (it's related to the subject of this website) is that less than 2 months prior to the accident, I had just erased much personal history and possesions. My wife and I had just divorced and I had given most everything to her. So, all of a sudden I find myself in a different geographic locale, with very little to defend (personal material possessions) and almost 20 years of life's erasure. Regretably in this process I lost my library (all of my CC books as well as everything else) leaving me without research material...............this is one of the areas where "remember" starts to take on new impact to me. I've got to try to remember what I've read (and where) v/s what is inherently known (or learned by other means than reading).........what I've read, what I've been told and what I've experienced, all start to run together in my mind.
Ha, another thing that runs together in my mind is time. The linearity references aren't the same as it used to be for me. For example, my accident just occured a few days ago, and I just woke up from the coma a few days ago, and I came home from the hospital a few days ago, and I joined this website a few days ago, and later I'll remember writing this post as if it were just a few days ago..........do you see what I'm getting at? Indeed time remains linear, but the linearity seems to miss some sort of reference........memories don't really run together, but everything post the accident, all seems to have happened just a few days ago.
So, enough for now..........................
Any comments?
