Dysentery, amoebic
Amoebic dysentery is an intestinal disorder caused by an infection by amoeba; it can result in inflammation of the colon. Having Amoebic dysentery means that we are caught in conflict, afraid to assimilate our experiences as that would involve moving forward in our life. We would rather fight than change, and this is throwing us off balance. We are caught up in an unresolved pattern of suffering that has specialness as one of its payoffs. The specialness is our attempt to ease the suffering we feel because of lost bonding. In some aspect of our life we are frightened and ‘can’t get our shit together’. We are out of control here. We are dealing with ego illusion and self-concepts of being destructive. This leads to self-attack and the reliving of old guilt.
