The Ways of the Soul

Comment by Luna Arjuna on Sunday

Everyone alive has suffered. It is the wisdom gained from our wounds and from our own experiences of suffering that makes us able to heal. Becoming expert has turned out to be less important than remembering and trusting the wholeness in myself and everyone else. Expertise cures, but wounded people can best be healed by other wounded people. Only other wounded people can understand what is needed, for the healing of suffering is compassion, not expertise.

I will choose silence and space over chaos and conflict any day. If I find myself engaged in a never ending battle of wills with someone who tries to manufacture problems out of everything I do or say, distance is my solution. It’s the only solution I need. I refuse to allow anyone’s internal battle to become a war that I have to fight.

As traumatised children we always dreamed that someone would come and save us. We never dreamed that it would, in fact, be ourselves, as adults.
