15 Suffering

"To heal a wound is to face a fear, put down a shield, and allow the experience you originally denied to pass through your being."

"Humanity did not turn its back on consciousness — which is to say ‘spirit’ — in becoming so mesmerized by the physical. This idea is counter to the religious conditioning of us ‘falling from grace’ that many carry."

“The reason we create the pain of another person abusing us is not to cause us pain, but to show us that we are already in pain through beliefs we are holding about ourselves and the nature of reality.”

“For healing to occur, a person must stand in the acknowledgement that they are the catalyst for their own healing.”

“Emotional wounds do not pull at you to hurt you. The pull is because they contain a part of you. Inside the wound is a part of your beingness that seeks to be whole again. This is in just the same way that you seek your own wholeness”
