The Disappearing Mind
By Mark Flippo
Scotoma (pronounced skuh-tow-muh) is the medical term for a visual field abnormality, or a blind spot. Most of these blind spots happen in one eye, but they can happen in both eyes
Scotoma is the medical term for a visual field abnormality or a blind spot. It can be temporary or permanent and can be caused by various health conditions and injuries.
That’s why trust and rapport, or giving somebody the benefit of the doubt, or stepping into their shoes, or looking at it from their perspective, can help get over communication humps and reduce friction, rather than talking past each other.
When you congruently say you cannot remember, you’re right.
If you say you can, you give a command to your nervous system that opens up the pathways to the part of your brain that can potentially deliver the answers you need.” What you believe or don’t believe might hurt you. What somebody else believes or doesn’t believe about you or what you’re saying, might hurt you, too. Sometimes the best way to break out of the loop, is to ask a question, or a different question, or to interrupt the pattern. Knowing that beliefs can limit what you see, what might you be able to see if you believed something different?
I would have had trouble believing this to be true. My own experience has shown me there is more in this world than you think. I was hospitalized and my wife came to see me every day. She was in my room helping me when the nurses were not helping me, that is what she told me. I heard her voice one time in that week and a half. I was so hurt I cried every night. My feelings were so damaged that when she finally, in my mind and eyes was there, I refused to talk to her or even look her direction. After almost 50 years of marriage and she did not even care if I lived or died.
I was so confused I could not think or see straight.
Now the Truth! Something had gone wrong in my mind, it had snapped, I had developed Scotoma that was poisoning my body and mind through a buildup of different urinary poisons. I really never saw her at all my eyes had developed selected blindness. Never felt her touch or heard her voice. The nurses should have said something to me knowing my mind was so confused, but they did not. The doctors knew from the tests they were barraging me with that I was really messed up. I am a very kind and thoughtful person, but I had changed so much, all the nurses said I was a jerk. That was an eye opener. I had to talk to the charge nurse about some things they did that they thought was funny, but she was a jerk also! You see you can-not depend on your own mind at times. GOD IS OUR ONLY CONSTANT HELP IN OUR TIME OF NEED! When I was finely released where I could go home, my wife and I had some heated discussions for a few days. I had to take a hard look and with a lot of prayer to get over this disaster. Thank God for a wife dedicated to Jesus to weather this storm!
