Last night I had one of the most profound healing experiences of my life.
With conscious intention throughout a sleepless night, that eventually drifted into feverish and highly disturbed half-sleep, I managed to isolate the core memory of my childhood that has been at the root of all dysfunction in my adult relationships and professional career.
It was the memory of having been cornered in my own bedroom by a man who climbed in my unlocked suburbian ground floor window during the night, and being so choked with fear that despite my best efforts I was unable to scream for help. I could feel family in another room but realised in a moment of utter helplessness that they weren’t coming for me, and that nobody could protect me from what I now knew to be an extremely dangerous world. This was when I was 4 years old.
This one incident developed into an utter terror of “being exposed” to the world without “protection”, that caused me to seek out relationships with dysfunctional men who would want to “take care of me” and thereby keep other men away. I desperately wanted somebody to claim me, so that no one else could. The reasoning of my psyche was that if somebody representing a fatherly role was there by my side, I would be safe.
This incident has single handedly prevented me from actually standing up to be counted as a spiritual teacher, for fear that if I was suddenly visible to the world “something might get me”. Of course this fear has been buried so deep that I couldn’t find it, despite knowing that it was there. It has taken me almost 3 years of conscious direction towards the healing of specifically this to finally get it.
There are several things that I want to say about it.
First of all, it has been obvious to me for some time that light and dark are two sides of the same coin. This man and all others like him are simply a part of my own being, and the reason that this occured is because of the old cosmic law that opposites attract. This law no longer applies. Since the cosmic pole shift in 2007, like attracts like, and so we can be absolutely certain that all of the love and support we need is right on our laps should we choose to open up to it.
However, despite knowing the obvious, without actually confronting the root fear it was impossible to overcome it. I have been aiming towards this for years, but it is only now that I actually have the strength to have been able to relive it as I did last night without reacting with fear. Instead, I responded to the experience with total faith in the Infinite and the plan for my life. Finally, I was able in motion to generate gratitude for this experience and the hidden gift it has brought, while simultaneously perceiving the whole thing again from an objective perspective.
The recapitulation of my childhood is complete – I can now move ahead without fear and having overcome all obstacles. Infinite possibility awaits.
