First, in a first step, over a long process, you lose hope, that there is a therapy for your illness in the near future. This hopelessness turns into fact, also a process, that your life, so, how it is, with this longstanding illness will lead to death.
Then, after going through these two processes, after your subconscious saved the hopelessness, cemented for your organism,
the second process begins: only now you let go of life, only now, where you gradually experience and recognize, that there is no more access for you, after so many years “exclusion” through the illness: relationship, love, job, recognition, locomotion ….. your own experience over the years writes the reality into your subconscious: you no longer have access, you stand in front of a closed door. On the other hand, nobody stands in front of your door.
And this process, first, Raven, the second, much, much later robs you of the remaining self-healing powers! Only this realization, die an der Erfahrung wächst, nimmt dir das Leben, if you have moderate/severe Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, this for decades.
The Effect of the Subconscious, so I claim, on the body, is immense!!!! Even with an incurable disease:
when there is nothing, that fills you with hope, that gives you life back; then you will remain in a chronically bad state. I think it! Science could heal you! But love and a professional/artistic recognition will save you!
But nobody can save you, when nobody knows, that you exist. Raven! Nevermore.
