man paralyzed but conscious for 23 years experienced satori

Quote:
The Belgian former engineering student ... said he coped with being effectively trapped in his own body by meditating. He told doctors he had "travelled with my thoughts into the past, or into another existence altogether". Sometimes, he said, "I was only my consciousness and nothing else".

How cool is that?
I mean, not that he was paralyzed, but you get what I'm saying.

reminds me of "Johnny got his gun"


"Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell"

Wow. This is amazing.  I can't even imagine what that must have felt like to him.

i would never rather be dead

because eventually i WILL be, regardless of how my life is going

so might as well ride it out if it all goes to the same place anyway

That's quite a comforting philosophy, when I read the entire thing I felt really down about how bad that would suck and I thought I would rather be dead that misdiagnosed on something that big.

But I suppose you might as well ride it out.
