Is this correct?
I am pleased to see you too. It's quite some time and we did have some interesting chats. I have always lived in England but for the past 15 years I have spent about half the time in the US. Up to the pandemic breaking I've most recently been spending winter there. You live about as far south as many of our new arrivals live to the west of me.
I read about your auditory nerve tumour and tinnitus.
How are you managing with this?I would imagine
any type of treatment in this area of the brain is complex
and not a first choice.Observation and monitoring seems
very wise.
I'm touched you remembered. Thankfully my tumour is dormant and I'm habituated to tinnitus with some loss of hearing. I'm fortunate not to have needed treatment thus far. It's not actually a tumour of the brain itself but it sits very close to the brain stem (mine is 2 mm away I was told when I enquired!) and growth can quickly cause contact with it. That's when it would become an acute situation.
Are you still very interested in Modern Spiritualism?
Some of the material you wrote was excellent.Do you
have any access to it?
Thank you for your kind words. Spiritualism underpins my understanding but it's not the only approach that shapes my thinking. I don't keep anything I've written but some will still be out on certain websites. I expect I'm still trotting out the same, simple message of survival because that's always been the thrust of my involvement. But I do sometimes branch off a little into related areas. You'll also find me at http:\\afterlifeforums.com
Out of interest have you found a dissonance between your
forum writings and how you act in normal face to face
contact with people?
I ask because I found when rereading some of my own writings
a dissonance to the extent I felt some one else
had written it.
It was quite a shock.
Maybe I am borderline sufferer of Dissociative Identity Disorder.
No, S, that's not something I've found about my writing. If anything it's the opposite inasmuch I sometimes see what I wrote many years ago and am then astonished at its similarity to what I 'say' now. In terms of face-to-face contact the situation rarely crops up because it's only occasionally I encounter anyone with a similar interest or involvement.
I am not familiar with DID but I expect it must be an uncomfortable feeling to say the least.
Anyway I look forward to renewing our discussions which I have always enjoyed.
That goes for me too, S. welcome back
