So, how does Asiloma affect our daily lives? When have we recognized him rearing his ugly face?

Dear Brian,

 

Wow! What great food for thought. In my days before my sickness,

Asiloma was rarely a part of my life. I was a 24/7 kind of person

about everything (maybe Too Much was my adversary then) ~ with my

career, with my art, with my music. Then I got sick. Now Asiloma is

with me almost everyday because my illness makes it so hard for me to

get things done (but no excuses allowed!). I think where Want of

Resolution jabs me the most is in my discouragement about the

limitations my illness imposes and the ensuing lack of accomplishing

goals that results (and, of course, my illness makes it difficult at

times for me to do just about anything).

 

I am going to think about this ... where Asiloma affects my life and

where I have the capacity to, with Ma Durga's help, overcome the drag

he puts on me. Sometimes, I try to focus on small goals, like today, I

want to go to the grocery store. This seemingly mundane and easy

activity (for most people) is like a major event for me. So I will

stare Asiloma in the face today and get myself to the grocery store

anyhow.

 

Thanks for bringing forth such an interesting and provocative topic. Jai Maa ~ Linda

Hi Linda,

 

The first thought I had is, "I didn't know Linda is sick."

 

What does it mean that I thought that?

 

It means you have plenty of Shakti within and it shows in your writing.

 

So all I can say is something my ex-wife taught me, "YOU GO GIRL!"

 

People who deal with permanent illnesses certainly know alot about Asiloma. I

hadn't realized that. Thank you for bringing that understanding to the light of

my awareness.

 

Being Type I diabetic, I guess that's how I got to know him. At first I wanted

the disease to go away, but guess what? Its not that kind of disease and if I

let it affect my life more than it has to, then I'm not living up to mother's

potential.

 

I've decided that there is nothing I can do about it, except attempt to take as

good care of myself as is possible. When trying to guess the carbs in a meal I

utilize my intuition as much as possible and Maa is never wrong about how much

insulin I need. I only make mistakes when I don't look for and can hear her

instructions. Except of course when I'm supposed to make mistakes because she

wants me to have the experience. I don't want to get too mental about this so

I'll stop.

 

A mantra for Asiloma, in english:

 

"EVERYTHING IS PERFECT, JUST THE WAY IT IS!"

 

or

 

"THIS IS EXACTLY HOW MAA WANTS IT!"

 

or

 

"ALL THIS FOR YOU MAA!"

 

Thanks for contributing.

 

Brian
