Healing Deep Wounds and Turning Yourself Inside Out

From Lecture at Oasis in Carr Mill

June 10, 2015

So, who here has hurtful memories from childhood? Please raise your hand

·      How many of you have worked on healing those wounds?

o   By forgiving or trying to forgive? Or By forgetting or trying to forget?

o   Which one, are you forgiving or are you forgetting?

·      When I say: “Lets Erase the wound”. How many of you resonate with this solution?

·      Now, How many of you have tried to “Own” your wound?  By Owning the wound, I mean acknowledging what happened and Accepting that whatever happened Caused a Wound that became a source of pain, sorrow, anger, fear…  A Wound that kept us Limited or Scared to Move Forward.

·      Who wants to OWN this, right? But you have to own it in order to heal it.  You may be able to erase a scar, but no an open wound.  The first step towards healing is to be honest with ourselves.  Take ownership of that would and work on healing it.

·      Have you heard the saying “Times Heals”?

·      Have you heard the doctrine that “Time is an Illusion”?

·      Which one do you think is true?

·      Both?

o   If time is an illusion then how can it heal?

o   Is pain also an illusion?... No, that cannot be true, right? Because it feels so real!

o   Time also feels so real… Don’t you feel yourself getting older?
