About: Healing ourselves
The journey of a soul can be likened to water. What began as flowing water eventually froze into ice—not from some random act of fate but due to our own choices. Over time, we began to long for another way of being. And so we have begun the long journey back to the Oneness.
We no longer want to experience ourselves as separate snowflakes.
Life and spiritual laws are exquisitely designed to guide us back home. If we align with them, we will become more alive. We will start to flow.
When we first begin to thaw, the water of our being is cloudy and still frozen in many places. At this point, we believe we are a victim of a senseless unfair universe.
As we develop, we begin to learn the truth about ourselves. For example, we see how we constantly defend ourselves and unknowingly bring about our current life circumstances.
But we can make new choices, and the water will begin to clear.
Bit by bit, we come out of the trance we have been in. We begin to see cause and effect, and to take responsibility for the state of our lives.
Gradually, our lives transform.
The water warms and begins to evaporate. We once again can sense our essential nature and eternal connectedness with all that is.
The promises of healing through spiritual work
In the course of this work, we develop on various levels of our being:
- In our spirit, we move from duality to unity.
- In our mind, from images and vicious circles to truth.
- In our will, from forcing currents and withholding, to receptivity and generosity.
- In our emotions, from numbness to flow.
- In our bodies, from frozen and divided to breathing, open and integrated.
Understanding ourselves is only the beginning. Insight alone doesn't heal us. Transformation happens when awareness becomes a lived practice, one choice at a time.
Following is an overview of the work we can do to heal our souls.
Overview of Doing the Work of Healing
| Action | Follow-through |
| Something triggers an emotional reaction | Bring reason to our emotions to discover the cause |
| Come out of blame and being a victim | Take responsibility for seeing cause and effect in ourselves |
| Pray and meditate to see where we are not in truth | Use the mature ego to connect with Higher Self |
| Find the image | Clearly express the statement of the mistaken belief |
| See the duality | Reveal the misconception and face all sides of reality |
| Re-educate the inner child with the truth | Impress the soul substance with new awareness |
| Feel the buried pain | Release the unfelt pain of unmet needs |
| Uncover real needs | Connect with our longing to love and be loved |
| Find and unwind the forcing current | Or find the collapse into hopelessness |
| Discover negative pleasure | Become aware of the childhood re-creation |
| Recognize faults | Reveal the triad of pride, fear and self-will |
| Transform negative intentions | Find where and how we refuse to give |
| Search for a no-current | Feel and move the stuck energy that says no to life |
| Pray for healing | Let divine energy fill and heal the soul dent |
Over time, we will develop discernment and a truer perception about the world around us. We will shift from our defensiveness, to a stance of openness and transparency.
The emotional reactions of others may affect us, but that doesn't mean they activate us. We will be wise in our self-disclosure and rigorous in self-honesty.
We will learn to become vulnerable and we will know peace.
