In my perhaps unorthodox view it is a projected fear-based-tauma potentially from past lives, that seeps into the present when we are not aware of the returning fear, that can speak on behalf of us or have temporary access to our vehicle. We have more than one body in which illness can attach more subtly if allowed.

We all start life here afflicted, one way or another. It is consistent focus on conscientiousness that bestows conscious awareness of the bundle of afflictions in their complexity that allows a stoic harmony, in body and soul to be as we are now and forever more no matter what.

TL; DR

Attacks of fear can have a person abandon themselves, which feeds the fear to be intelligent enough to see a next opportunity another time.

Why does this remind me of Justin bieber?

Trust that all you need, you already have, for the mind is your world and the world responds to the attitudes held. Think in abundance.

Forgiveness releases parties in any situation from all bondage. Forgiveness grants others and yourself permission to progress.

When confused or disorientated keep quiet and focus on the breath.
