I feel more connected to god when I am sick

[Stick]

I generally feel drunk in life.
But whenever I fall sick or am suffering, I suddenly become more accepting, less egoistical.
I am still very much in pain but its kinda ......soothing.

Can anyone relate?

I can definitely relate, that's the good part about believing in a higher power, that it can help us when we can't help ourselves. 

Most of my moments of surrender in life have come from my moments of weakness. 

I think it's also important to be connected to God when you're on the upside and things are going well. That's when you can find the funny and mischievous parts of God and not just connect to its caretaking properties. 

This Madonna-whore complex with spirituality is how people end up with a duality of assigning all the bad and evil sides of life or even the hedonistic and sex filled parts with Demons and the Devil and all the savior and caretaking and sanitized part to God and Angels. God is both and everything!

Absolutely, it humbles you, it matures you. (if it doesn't kill you)

I wouldn’t have access to exceptinally powerful substances for God realization had it not been for my disability and sickness

@Stick wow I have the same. One of the most loving moments in my life was when I had corona and just layed there in bed. I feel like you kinda surrender to doing nothing, because when you meditate you try to do nothing, but when you are sick you have no energy to try so you actually do nothing! In a way you could even say it is the reason that you also heal, because you connect to that doing nothing energy, but maybe I am becoming too spiritual here. Also when I am sick I eat very little or nothing at all, which also makes me very connected spiritually, like a spiritual fasting retreat almost. Maybe we all should become more sick often to raise our consciousness hehe.

 If I may ask, what exceptionally powerful substance are you referring to?

I take multiple stuff, but the most powerful one is cannabis.

I almost thought you said "i feel good when im drunk" i was thinking "oh ya! ha... hence, the world?"

But its good to listen nd make sure everyones reading and in tune w each other, in that way, As imagine if we all jumped to a conclusion before hand... which sounds crazy but im experiencing it all the time.

Atthe same time, i hav a diff experience.. generally when im sick, im dying, and accepting isnt quite wat i feel... more like, 'against my will... sumthin like that.

p.s. im talking about "falling apart" siq, not like "oh i had a fever and i tasted weird things and then slept in my comfy bed and read bedtime stories"
