How Thinking I Was Going Blind Heightened My Spiritual Awakening
Everything that happens to you is happening for your greatest good.
That statement helped me get through a recent health scare.
One morning I woke up with no vision in my right eye.
To put it mildly, I was scared shitless: I went to bed one night seeing perfectly fine and the next morning it was cloud city.
It felt like I had a layer of fog covering my eye obstructing my vision.
Like with many unforeseen dilemmas in life, the mind did what it does so well: it dove head-first into crisis mode imagining all the worst-case scenarios.
When I went to the doctor they tested the vision of my right eye by asking me to read what I saw on the screen.
You know that giant letter “E” commonly seen on eye charts?
It was just a black blob floating among a sea of clouds.
Then they decided to run some more tests and told me they found something on my left eye as well.
Now I really lost it.
I felt like I was going completely blind.
Not to sound dramatic but for a few minutes, it felt like my life was forever changing.
