My journey is leading me more down my issues with lack of empowerment and a sort of self… not quite loathing, but just not liking myself. It never quite showed itself in my face like this before. But it feels… nice. A sort of pleasant background feeling underlies these concepts because its finally and actually being seen. It’s cool.
And it brings myself to the echoes of the past slave experience I had. It’s a little hard right now for me emotionally though. But I’ll be okay and work in some internal alchemical crucible after my round of BoL.
You guys are right, this digs into other lives and stuff.
I dont know, I just find myself liking that I finally feel this way as opposed to it being a background thing that ends up showing itself in all kinds of ways that ended up just becoming my new normal. Cynicism, self sabotage… I’m an only child and smart and “supposed to have grown up to be the super successful one” (no one said it but I know that’s the case) and all kinds of things that ended up not being that way because I pursued different avenues that I felt would pay off in spiritual dividends well before I even got into spirituality, I just wanted to better understand the world and people and be able to, when I’m older, relate and be relatable and be able to help people and stuff. Some stuff people just would never get but take smoking for example. Its like I would purposely make choices that would put me through metaphorical Hell so I could come out and understand it better. (Addiction was a big one because its been a big family issue and I wanted to understand it and be the one who overcomes it)
But all the “I’m not who I should be” internal conflicts stacked and stacked and finally its unraveling.
So grateful for fields, especially this one.
That got really personal but I honestly really needed to let that out.
