Finding our Truth in our recovery drives us to grow, to learn about ourselves, to be different from the expected, to face the painful consequences of our struggle and to persevere.
Truth comes from deep within us. Truth pre-dates our traumas and our consciousness, our decorum and our identities. Truth tears through denial and disrespects lies. Truth is the spark of our souls, and the root of our enlightenment.
Our Truth is the raw force of life, and it threatens still-traumatised parents – the norm – who are by nature spiritually dead or dying. Out of fear of being awakened such parents unconsciously traumatise the child in order to mute his honesty. They humiliate him to force him to lock his truth in back alleys of the psyche, and they numb his memory with ice to keep him from remembering.
Truth reminds them of what they have buried, what they have sacrificed, and what they cannot bear to remember. They want to forget their own childhood truths, the pains and humiliations they suffered at the hands of their own parents, whom they would prefer to idealise. They want to forget who they might have otherwise become had they spiritually lived. And if their child manifests this it will force them to remember the Truth in their lives
We do not forget, we sublimate,we dissociate we stuff down.. But we remember. We keep alive our connections with our true selves, and we remember what lies buried within all of us. We are the well-diggers into the deep soil, and we have an uncanny ability to know where the pooled water hides. And the more we drink, the stronger we become. Water melts the façade, and the façade is death including our many forms of dissociated behaviours, addictions,acting out and pain based habits.
