Healing is not a short-term experience, though it does involve short-lived revelations. It is something each being spends a lifetime exploring in ways often unacknowledged, disregarded or unforseen. When was the last time you asked yourself why that is? How do your views on the matter change?
Early on, everyone imagines what is best for them. You decide what you will listen to within yourself and what just seems like hocus pocus. You encounter many crossroads and at each one, you must choose; be authentic to yourself or something else.
During dreams or while awake, you recall speaking freely to "invisible friends." Adults persuaded you these friends do not exist. Little-by-little you revised your notion of what is okay to say and to whom, and forgot who you are in the process.
The moment may arise when you become aware something about how you live, think or do, no longer makes sense. If this happens, then be willing to give as much guidance as you can. You may be shifting a notch to think again on your own. As you begin reflecting differently, be sure to consider this;
1) suffering may pass in a wink, but the lead-up never does.
2) to spare yourself mistakes would prevent deeper growth.
3) the desire to avoid suffering may just be the root of all suffering.
