When the time is right, we come out and live our truth—no matter the consequences.

When the time is right, we come out and live our truth—no matter the consequences. We emerge into the open with our newly recovered child creation, most importantly, we emerge as a new variation of recovered humanity, aligned with our truth. This is how we define being a Recovered Stager. With ecological and societal collapse looming, the time for morphing into our new way of recovery is quickly becoming a necessity.

Yet we may succumb to fear. When the ideas we hold are too revolutionary, too unsettling for the family and the norm and even our conventional sides to accept, we fear expressing the truth. We know the consequences of familial and social ostracism are painful to bear. We fear giving birth to the ideas that are developing within us because we will be banished. We may let the idea die within us, such that this new recovered life becomes stillborn, causing no disturbance to the status quo. In this way no conscience is challenged and no mind is forced to question—and we hide within the walls of conformity. Our sword of truth remains hidden in a sheathe of fear. And slowly we once more retreat inside ourselves and begin to die.

The Ten Stages is a studied recovery course. It is a source of reconnection a method of unlearning and a reintroduction to our child within which leads us back to our one true intuitive voice.We start to learn and come out of our protective dysfunctional shell and reclaim our lives.
