Stroke

According to Henry W. Wright

In the “Strokes” section, Wright points to self-rejection, bitterness towards oneself and self-hatred. In his broader teaching on blood vessels, he discusses anger, rage, hostility and deep bitterness separately.

Possible spiritual roots

Self-rejection.

Bitterness towards oneself and self-hatred deepen the conflict directed against oneself.

A negative attitude towards oneself becomes an enduring way of relating to oneself.

Wright links this profile to blocked or narrowed blood vessels; in his description of stroke, he indicates that restricted blood flow or bleeding can deprive part of the brain of its blood supply.

Spiritual response

Reject self-rejection, bitterness towards oneself and self-hatred; receive God's love, forgiveness and a sense of worth; if anger or bitterness towards others is separately present, forgive and give them to God; pray for peace and healing.
