Title: Recognizing Contrasts in Healing Trauma from Abuse - Part 1
Profound question
What is often asked of me by many clients who have abuse issues, particularly if they are extreme, is a very profound question: “Why would I choose this level of abuse to go through in this lifetime?”
I’ve explored this myself over the years. I can easily say that it wasn’t Karmic retribution. Since Karma is a law from the 6th Plane of Existence, it doesn’t operate from an eye-for-eye energy, which would be inclusive of beliefs from the 5th Plane (astral dualistic level). Just because you might have played the perpetrator role in one moment, this wouldn’t make you need to play the victim role in the next to redeem yourself or create balance.
So this is what I came up with in connection to Creator.
Dark elements
For many, it’s to know to one’s very core how the Dark elements have operated on this planet for over 15,000 plus years. This brings the stories, beliefs and patterns to the surface in order to change the harmful effects through Source/Unconditional Love. Usually, this will bring those people who experience these depths of trauma, to deeply know themselves more, to build virtues, and to bring their healing message or actions to the world in helping others to do the same.
There is nothing like experience to live in one’s truth. People can attempt to deny the reality of those who have experienced or witnessed the energy of the Dark actions, but they can’t prove anything, because they didn’t live it. Their opinions or denial have nothing to do with one’s experience felt somatically and emotionally.
The Dark and Light contrast
An angle of ‘innerstanding’ contrast between the dark and light, is the yin-yang awareness in order to see how this Third Plane of Existence operates in all its drama and subtleties. Contrast shows or compares differences. It is also able to appraise a situation in respect to differences. It’s important to note that there is both an oppositional nature to contrast and having a healthy respect for differences that occur. This awareness can be done without judgment, nor making anyone or anything wrong or bad including ourselves.
When we ‘innerstand’ that we play roles on this Planetary stage to learn, grow and change, we can hold the overview in contrast to the earthly experience. This allows us to widen our perceptions of how energy operates from Creator’s perspective.
Hold a 7th Plane awareness
It’s often so difficult to hold a 7th Plane awareness in healing trauma particularly extreme abuse. Being unable to stay at that light frequency when we practice the ThetaHealing meditation, could lead many who are traumatized, to minimize or distort the occurrences. Part of this awareness is that many don’t want to identify as even being victimized, yet it can often have us feeling disconnected from the pure Truth of the 7th Plane. Truth at the 7th Plane just Is. It’s pure.
Acknowledging victim or perpetrator
To recognize that we were victimized, yet also have shadow aspects that feel like a victim, can create disbelief and more fear. If we were also forced to perpetrate due to the level of abuse that occurred unknowingly, the shame can stop the Truth from being shown. It’s not easy to think that harmful actions can be forgivable. Who wants to feel like a victim or perpetrator, and ‘play’ those roles? Most healers sure don’t.
Yet, it’s necessary to acknowledge and identify these opposing aspects to be able to heal them. This allows for recognition of the contrasts between the parts of us, and helps us to be responsible for our actions at any given moment.
Choose to suffer
It’s also difficult to ‘innerstand’ how we would ‘choose’ to suffer through such deep levels of abuse. This, in itself, can feel both ‘accepting’ and unreal because that is all that was known as a child. Again, this another level of contrast.
Return to oneself
There is a journey of acknowledgement and connection to the Inner Child as a soul fragment, which can separate even more creating increased amounts of soul fragments due to trauma from abuse. The journey is to return to oneself, one’s core. This ‘one to many’ and ‘the many back to one’ is an ‘innerstanding’ of contrast.
Learning to operate and experience from our core in moving through once being fragmented, is an amazing awareness of self-love and growth. This shows contrast, virtues, and how our soul progresses.
Creator doesn’t judge the contrasts or differences as all of Creation is an aspect of IT. This is the frequency of Love within. Oftentimes, it’s buried under layers and layers of beliefs, but it’s there.
Part 2 on this awareness of contrast, will discuss this topic further about “Viewing God and Perpetrators through Contrasts”.
