Very nicely written. I couldn’t agree more.. I also do think that’s the work in this world, to be truthful to yourself and to experience love and joy. Sometimes Guilt and Shame can serve as an anchor to the ‘earth’ dimension too. There’s certain virtues that can be learned by those heavy emotions…. Like respect and loyalty etc. Maybe human consciousness hasn’t fully mastered certain virtues like love and respect and loyalty without the sense of obligation and guilt. It can be core beliefs but also ancestral too. What you self sacrifice for love, one tends to resent too… sometimes not on a conscious level, but deeply subconsciously ingrained in the psyche. I believe this is all part of Earth school and maybe but only maybe ‘to learn how to love’ and to learn how to ‘receive love’ is one of the lessons here …
Right on point. No guilt. It’s a lifelong journey, even if you weren’t raised in a particularly shame-based family. Society steps in and does the job anyway. The more you open your eyes, the more you realize how everything (and I mean everything!) is built on consumerism and fear. Inner trust is a strange territory, impossible to map or explain because it’s outside the realm of science. It’s just one of those things — unusual, unmeasurable, and totally real. End of story.
When I was frightened and alone my ex said those exact words to me. I believed them and almost threw my life away.
He said it again when I left him.
But I realized my fear of being alone was going to kill me. I had to put trust in myself and got on a bus across 7 states with no one and nothing but my phone and my wallet.
Your description of parenting is exquisite, and holds within the words the frequency of unconditional love and sovereignty. Beautifully woven - thank you for sharing this!

Wow.
When I was frightened and alone my ex said those exact words to me. I believed them and almost threw my life away.

This article truly touched me.
Thank you.
