What we resist persists.
We do not win a fight with what lives inside us. We can spend years, decades, an entire lifetime in that fight and the thing we are fighting will still be there. The illness, the fear, the grief, the pattern we cannot shake, the part of ourselves we cannot bring ourselves to look at. The more energy we pour into the resistance, the more alive it stays.
The medicines help us to see. When you sit with them honestly they will bring you face to face with exactly what you have been unwilling or unable to face. And in that space, they ask you to stop fighting. To turn toward the thing and say, I see you. I accept that you exist. Let's talk.
Something important happens when we are able to do that. Not because the thing disappears but because we are no longer spending our life force trying to keep it at bay. We can finally be in relationship with it. We can ask what it came to teach us. We can begin to move the energy. The work is always relational, both internally and externally.
