You are the Alchemist of your life.
Humans are meaning-making creatures...We attach images, stories and metaphors to all events of our lives.
Even if we are not able to express our emotions in words, there is a subconscious interpretation of everything that is happening to us...
Thus, we engage with life based on the internal appreciation of the happy and painful moments we experience.
This is a very tricky situation because the meaning we attach to the events of our lives are created on an already established perceptions which were born in our early childhood.
Because we rely on old memories, we are in danger of confusing reality with myth, therefore creating a totally false meaning to the present events in our lives.
On the other hand, there is an "intuition center" placed inside all of us. Our intuition functions as protection from what could be dangerous to us in relation to relationships or events that could be harmful to us.
The inner workings of human beings are very complex.
We are complex human beings, not to mention that we are spiritual beings in a human body.
It takes contemplation, meditation and deep excavation to unravel the mysteries of the human inner landscape.
All of us have been harmed in some way.
All of us suffered social injustice whether in our families, schools, jobs or any other institution we belong to.
Most of us have experienced the ravages of inner war. Physical pain. Emotional suffering. Lost dreams. Abuse.
Some of us know the pain of su***de, r**e and massive soul injuries.
And in spite of all these, many of us learned how to live and love again. We have learned to heal, to forgive, to let go, to understand, accept and integrate into our lives the events that hurt or uplift us.
You are grand, beloved Human Being.
You are a meaning-making creature.
All of us are. Without exception.
Let us have the courage to Re-Enter our Story and Excavate what Matters.
Let us heal and attach a truthful meaning to the relationships in our lives and how we chose to live and make a living.
You are amazing, dear fellow Human Being.
You have a pure soul, but an injured heart.
There is a way to heal and be free of the painful meaning we give to our lives' events.
Because often enough, it is the meaning we attach to situations that is painful, not the event itself.
If you look a little deeper, you will see that.
Let us find our way home and rest in the knowing that we have the power to choose who we are and how we feel.
You are the Alchemist...Turn your suffering into soul wisdom--- and then share it with the world...........................................
