Theos-Talk Archives (April 2005 Message tt01671)

Dear Mark
I agree that what you say is the medical approach to these conditions, but theosophy teaches us that these are a reflection in the physical of something that is occuring on higher dimensions. 
I posted the article as I found it interesting and especially promising that other people in the world have started to look inside for explanations.
It wasnt sent as a coded message.
I have experienced all if not many of the below, however, my depressive states, are short lived and I am able to bounce back, as I read many years ago that Blavatsky (this use of her name seems so impersonal to me, but for others, I do it) said fight off depression at all costs.
Regards
Cass

The article has a few things I don't particularly agree with. I don't
think it's a spiritual thing, for example. If you look up PNE
(Polyneuronal ectopy), you'll find that when someone has a combination
of Anxiety, depression, compulsions, and depersonalization disorders,
it's usually because of the hypersensitivity of the neurons in the
brain, and they diffuse ions more readily. (Making messages send
faster, but ultimately triggering parts of the brain like the
fight-or-flight response in the brain that's associated with panic
attacks).

I think the hypersensitivity enables people to easily process and
perceive information that's normally extremely difficult. I also think
practicing occultism strengthens/reinforces the condition, while
conversly the condition helps one practice occultism.

Does anyone know if any TS members or masters had any kind of nervous
conditions? I'd like to look more into this.
