 | Early Childhood Core Emotions
Core Emotions originate from very, very early in life,
from having no barriers and feeling the family and forces so intensely, so nakedly,
without knowing what they really are, or how to meet them.
Then, a survival mechanism,
the only available protection is to disassociate from them and build a wall of strategies and ideas around them,
which we could call the ego construct.
One could spend the whole life without ever directly meeting these "unbearable" core emotions and energies inside.
Yet, they are always trying to emerge and the mind is trying to beat them down with such vigorous vigilance.
That is why the same types of issues go on repeating in cycles over and over under the guise of the current frustration,
"bad relationship" or situation.
Generally the spiritual search is part of this strategy of trying to "resolve" these hidden feelings by getting away from them.
When these feelings finally do arise either by a powerful trigger,
or a readiness by ones ability to "hold space" from resting as ones true nature,
they feel just as big and intense as they did when we were so little.
mind may say they are "unbearably big", as they fill the screen in nightmarish, grueling proportion.
This is not really the case, they are really only contractions of energy.
It may go against every program of the ego-construct, but feeling any emotion is completely safe.
They are as safe as our childhood teddy bear.
In the throws of these arisings this is the last thing the mind may believe,
as the whole program has been written to avoid these "demons".
They are not demons! Let us not use spiritual concepts to try get rid of them
"Healing" is often a "conscious" catch phrase for getting rid of.
These contractions are like scared children, infants too,
that still really believe that there are monsters underneath the bed.
The ego is built on abandonment.
Let's not try to skip feeling these dark corners of the dream.
The good news is that our nightmares were just that, only nightmares, only dreams.
As intense as this play can become,
if our intention becomes unwavering to be as we Are,
pure Consciousness, in embrace of every single thing that appears,
then every single thing that appeared frozen in the darkness and shadows of nightmares,
will rejoice in full sight of it's own true radiant Face.
In other words every contraction embraced is like a true friend, waking up to it's true nature, your true nature. Anyone or anything's Freedom is our very own.
Namaste. |
