The Gift of Dyslexia... (The
secret Ingredient)
 Those
of you who have followed my teaching would have read about my difficulties
as a child, and indeed of my stress even
in my working life as an adult. It was this aspect that had driven me to
look for the answers and why I devoted my life to realising the truth - to
find out 'what's it all about'.
Well, at the time of writing this I am 37 years
old, have been Enlightened (or whichever term you wish to use) 7 years now,
and I have only recently discovered that I am Dyslexic.
Even once I had stepped over the threshold and
into this awakened state of knowing what happens in this reality (aged 30),
I still felt like a piece of the puzzle was missing. I still wondered: Why
did I find learning at school (and even often just speaking) difficult as a
child? What made me so different that I would not accept the hardships that
everyone else accepted as perfectly normal? What was it that enabled me the
apparent ability to see above problems, to see things from a new
perspective, even as a child when adults were telling me something had to be
done a certain way? And why did I seem to be more susceptible than others to
stress?...
...And what was it that gave me the (sometimes
uncomfortable) ability to directly experience what others were feeling?
Well, it turns out that these are all not
uncommon characteristics of Dyslexia. (I say it in that way because the
symptoms of dyslexia are quite varied and often differ from person to
person).
There are numerous websites out there
specifically about Dyslexia, but it seemed only right that I should create a
page about my findings...
So, what is Dyslexia,
Simply put, one mainstream explanation of dyslexia is
that a person with the condition uses less
of the left hand side of their brain and more of the right than is 'normal'.
The left (so it is said) is the area more 'object'
focussed, and used for learning, language, sense of linear time, is required
for academic achievement and is generally very useful in this physical world
to get by. However, the right hand side is the area which sees the 'whole
picture', is creative, imaginative, intuitive, sensitive, psychic, etc.
So, a dyslexic person is likely to not use the
left side of their brain to read and write as much as other people, and this
is why they tend to have trouble in this area. Using more of the creative,
imaginative side of the brain simply to read words on a page is always going
to be a struggle (for example).
But, if you are looking for a solution to a
problem, especially one that has not been faced before by the people
present, the right sided thinker is likely to come up with a whole range of
possible solutions, perhaps before the left sided thinkers have finished
trying to understand the problem. (Just don't ask them to take the notes of
the meeting.. :o) )
It seems therefore that I had an advantage in my
quest to reach Enlightenment or Self-Realisation; a head start, if you like.
The psychic at The College Of Psychic Studies told me during my sitting when I was 17 years
old, that my struggles, and abilities, were due to already being on a high
spiritual level due to meditation in past lives, and that I would progress
very quickly. It may be that the past lives aspect is correct and, if this
is the case (within this 'story'), it may be that, like so many truths, there has to be a mirror in this reality
of something deeper; and
the dyslexia is mine.
I write this only to acknowledge that this is
the case. I now know why I have found just 'living' so difficult throughout
my life, and what it was that drove me to find some reason behind it all.
Thank you
