Healing from the Roots

It always begins with the roots.When you don't have a model for a happy and healthy relationship with self or with a man/woman, it's very difficult to believe it's possible for yourself.But you must.You must know you were born worthy of Love. There is nothing you could do that could ever taint that.You must learn the power of your imagination, your thought, your belief, to create that which has not existed in your reality before.You must release the faulty program that was installed in childhood.Let go of your loyalty to your parent's pain, your ancestors' pain, your culture's pain. It is only when you free yourself of it that you can serve as a force of good, of love, of transformation - not just for yourself, but for those who came before, and for those who will come after.There is nothing more important than to acknowledge the darkness you yourself carry, recognize it as such, and release it with forgiveness into the Light.Disowning your pain and projecting rejected aspects of yourself onto others only continues the cycle, and even more destructively, because it pushes the pain into the unconscious.What is the consequence of unconscious, unacknowledged, unwitnessed, unloved pain?Just open a newspaper. Can you believe humans murder each other? Walk around your city streets. Can you believe we allow people to go without food and shelter, right before our eyes? Sit in a local bar and allow yourself to feel the fakeness and despair. Can you believe how many need medication, drugs, alcohol, sugar just to get through the day without wanting to die? Look at your own life. Can you believe... [fill in the blank]?It's time for change. Inner change.It's not easy. Believe me, I know.But oh is it worth it. Oh is it needed.For ourselves. For our children. For our planet.
