Everyone has trauma, blind spots and areas of denial, that impede the maturing of spiritual realisations in to true freedom.
These patches in the dark, love to masquerade as awake truth to try and keep us safe. But the truth is, it is a false safety and a prison that the ego builds around itself.
This seems so prevalent in spiritual circles where a spiritual identity takes hold. Only those who have an authentic drive for truth, above all else, will let the enlightenment drive take them all the way.
The body is the greatest truth meter, but we can only access its wisdom if there is skill and understanding about how to go deep enough.
There are techniques that may work with the body on a surface level. Whilst helpful and perhaps what some need at a certain point, for those whose commitment to awakening goes all the way, this usually will not suffice.
So to truly face ones trauma, pain and shadow is not only courageous, it is an act of true devotion to the One.
