Alzheimer’s Disease: A Neurodegenerative Journey of the Soul  

​

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative condition, marked by intellectual decline and memory loss, reflecting a deeper spiritual disconnection from the earthly vessel.

The 10 Signs That May Begin as Early as Age 30, and the Only Path to Transcendence: 

Prevention Over Cure
Having witnessed my mother’s struggle with this disease for two years before her passing—a trial I would wish upon no one—I am intimately familiar with its impact. Alzheimer’s is a call from the soul, urging us to nurture our inner light before the shadows deepen.

​

1 - Memory Loss Disrupting Daily Life

What is a normal sign of aging? Occasionally forgetting names or appointments but recalling them later.

One of the most telling signs of Alzheimer’s is memory loss, particularly forgetting recently learned information. This may manifest as forgetting important dates or events, repeatedly asking for the same information, increasingly relying on memory aids (e.g., reminder notes or electronic devices), or depending on family members for tasks once managed independently. Spiritually, this may reflect a disconnection from the present, a yearning to retreat from a reality that feels overwhelming.

​

2 - Difficulty Planning or Solving Problems

What is a normal sign of aging? Making occasional errors in managing finances.

Some individuals experience a decline in their ability to create or follow plans or work with numbers. They may struggle to follow a familiar recipe or manage monthly bills. Concentration becomes challenging, and tasks take much longer than before. From a spiritual perspective, this may signal a disconnection from the divine order, a struggle to align with the flow of universal guidance.

​

3 - Difficulty Completing Household Tasks at Home, Work, or During Leisure

What is a normal sign of aging? Occasionally needing help to use the microwave or record a TV show.

Those with Alzheimer’s often find daily tasks challenging. They may struggle to drive to familiar places, manage a budget at work, or recall the rules of a favorite game. Spiritually, this may indicate a resistance to grounding in the material world, as the soul begins to drift toward higher realms, seeking liberation from earthly responsibilities.

 

4 - Confusion with Time or Place

What is a normal sign of aging? Momentarily forgetting the day of the week but recalling it later.

People with Alzheimer’s may lose track of dates, seasons, and the passage of time. They may struggle to understand events that are not happening immediately and may forget where they are or how they got there. This disorientation can be seen as the soul’s attempt to transcend the constraints of linear time, yearning for the eternal now of the divine.

 

5 - Difficulty Understanding Visual Images and Spatial Relationships

What is a normal sign of aging? Experiencing vision issues due to cataracts.

For some, vision problems may be a sign of Alzheimer’s. They may struggle with reading, judging distances, or distinguishing colors and contrasts. In terms of perception, they might pass by a mirror and think someone else is in the room, failing to recognize themselves. Spiritually, this reflects a detachment from the ego’s reflection, as the soul begins to see beyond the illusion of the self.

 

6 - New Challenges with Spoken or Written Expression

What is a normal sign of aging? Occasionally struggling to find the right word.

Individuals with Alzheimer’s may find it hard to follow or join conversations. They might stop mid-sentence, unsure how to continue, or repeat themselves. They may struggle with vocabulary, have difficulty finding the right word, or use incorrect terms (e.g., calling a “watch” a “hand clock”). This can be interpreted as the soul’s retreat from verbal constructs, seeking a purer form of communication through the language of the heart.

 

7 - Misplacing Objects and Losing the Ability to Retrace Steps

What is a normal sign of aging? Misplacing items occasionally and retracing steps to find them.

People with Alzheimer’s may place objects in unusual locations, lose items, and be unable to retrace their steps to recover them. They might even accuse others of stealing. This behavior may intensify over time. Spiritually, this may symbolize a release of attachment to material possessions, as the soul prepares to return to the ethereal.

 

8 - Diminished Judgment

What is a normal sign of aging? Making an occasional poor decision.

Those with Alzheimer’s may experience changes in judgment or decision-making. They might show poor judgment with money, giving large sums to telemarketers, or neglect personal hygiene and grooming. This can be seen as the soul’s surrender of worldly concerns, focusing instead on the eternal truths beyond material judgment.

 

9 - Withdrawal from Work or Social Activities

What is a normal sign of aging? Occasionally feeling weary of work, family, or social obligations.

Individuals with Alzheimer’s may begin to withdraw from hobbies, social activities, sports, or work projects. They might struggle to follow their favorite sports team or remember how to engage in a beloved pastime. They may also avoid social interactions due to the changes they experience. Spiritually, this withdrawal can be viewed as the soul’s inward journey, seeking solitude to reconnect with the divine.

 

10 - Changes in Mood and Personality

What is a normal sign of aging? Developing a routine and becoming irritable when it’s disrupted.

The mood and personality of those with Alzheimer’s may shift. They might become confused, suspicious, depressed, fearful, or anxious, easily upset at home, work, with friends, or in unfamiliar settings. This reflects the soul’s struggle to navigate a reality that no longer aligns with its higher vibration, yearning for peace beyond earthly turmoil.

 

The Symbolism: A Spiritual Perspective

Alzheimer’s often affects those who feel trapped in their circumstances, facing situations that seem unsolvable, unable to fight against what they cannot accept, or sensing their inner strength fading. The disease manifests as a form of escape from a reality that has become too difficult to bear, as if the soul whispers, “I choose to release awareness of this earthly struggle.”

I strongly encourage those affected to remain active and engaged, using their intellectual faculties through activities like joining a club, attending day programs for seniors, or fostering social connections. In times past, individuals stayed within their family environment, occupied with small tasks that kept their minds stimulated by family life, children, discussions, and visits. Today, in care facilities, there is often a profound lack of stimulation, which can dim the light of the soul.

By keeping the mind and spirit active, we honor the sacred vessel of the body, allowing the soul to find peace and purpose even amidst this challenging journey.
