Guest guest Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 Sat Nam ya'll, I've been encouraged by someone to post some of this. I'm not sure if the goal is to expose me better to the group or to get ya'll thinkin, but here goes. I'm a 15 year survivor of HIV. I went for a long time being told I was set to die, although I never had an hiv-related hospitalization till last year. I'm one of the fortunate ones for whom cutting edge technology seems to be working. I especially fortunate because I had a friend challenge me early on in this process. The question he ask was, "How can you believe in a loving God and still think He's ouit to get you?" Of all the nerve! But he was right, my God was vicious and too small. And so began the search for the Loving God I knew was out there somewhere. The first thing that happened was that I stopped having an adversarial relationship with HIV. IF a Loving God allowed this into my life, then it a as a teacher, not a destroyer. And Beleive me!!! Teach it has done!! But I also freed up all that energy I was using to FIGHT AGAINST HIV and was able to use it in all sorts of more useful places Don't get me wrong. HIV keeps me on my toes, but it doesn't rule over my life. No matter what I expire from someday in the distant future, I will never have been an AIDS victim. I am SO much more than that! I write, I paint, I love, I play, and I dare to dream BIG! This road has been an amazing adventure. And now, adding Kundalini training to it, expands my horizons even further. Thank you all for being a part of that. Nowadays I believe that God is sneaking about the Universe, waiting for me to turn a corner, so He can spring something WONDERFUL on me! All Blessings, Sat Nam, Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 Wow Leo. Thank you so much for sharing that. I'm glad you listened to whomever it was that suggested you post this. It used to be that I would read or hear stories like this and feel completely guilty. The guilt would stem from never having to deal with something like this in my life. My lesson's learned are nothing nearly as dramatic as what you've dealt with. And it sounds like you have made such huge strides in your attitude and your perception of what is happening. The one lesson that I've learned, is to not feel guilty anymore. Instead, I feel respect and admiration for the courage, wisdom and compassion shown by people living with cancer, HIV, or other life threatening events/diseases. For me, its a lesson in humility and honor. And I'm trying to learn all that I can. Thank you again for sharing this. Christa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
