Soul Choices and the Spiral of Evolution
All evolution occurs in a cyclical fashion, spiraling to a point of completion wherein the soul is finally satisfied. Between each incarnation we have a period of rest before the desire for expansion becomes strong once more, pulling us towards every experience, physical, spiritual and emotional until finally we reach ultimate enlightenment, releasing us from the need for physical expression.
Greater understanding of our wounds makes this happen faster and it is often helpful to picture yourself actually wearing a name tag that announces your wound clearly to the world, allowing you to experience in your imagination how it would feel not to have to try so hard to carry on in spite of all that is afflicting you. Traditionally, wearing black clothing or arm bands ort other such expressions of mourning excused the grieving person from having to meet society’s usual expectations during their period of mourning however these days we have largely abandoned such practices which in many ways is a shame.
Bringing out our struggles and making them public can elicit differing reactions. Some of us will feel ashamed or found out when we open ourselves up whilst others will still only be able to bring themselves to show secondary struggles rather than the main thing that truly ails them. Others still will feel a sense of relief that they no longer have to hide such a big part of their lives and their identity and yet others, given the choice would struggle to make it.
Admitting to others that we are wounded is a necessary step towards healing and that is why in twelve-step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous the first step towards healing is for the participants to present themselves and admit their addiction, thus identifying openly with that which they’ve tried for so long to hide or deny. Admitting your wound, even only to yourself at first helps you to free up some of the energy that you are using to develop and maintain your facade. Unconsciously we are all able to some extent to read the wounds of those around us, energetically and as such, at a deeper level, nothing is really hidden. As we continue to evolve on a spiritual level, it will become more and more possible for us to read one anothers energy fields and when that time comes, we will no longer be able to deny our issues and so will be forced to deal with them much earlier.
The degree of impact that your wound has over you is the measure of its power to transform you as this becomes the theme around which your life is organised until healed. As such, our wounds may be seen as a part of a conspiracy between our souls and the journey of our lives.
