Life is littered with moments of discovery and moments of Self.
The first part of the overall story covers the realisation that change is needed. The second part explores the need to surrender to one’s fears, making cracks in the chrysalis, and discovering those fears and what they represent. You cannot deal with anything you can’t see.
This third part covers the discovery of the true Self, fully opening the chrysalis to become a whole human being, discovering those parts untouched by those who would try to damage you.
It’s not, by any stretch, an easy journey. Opening old wounds and long-forgotten memories leads us to an inner strength we never knew we had. Opening the past to scrutiny is never a bad thing, as it helps guide us towards healing and forgiveness.
The discovery of the true Self is a fundamental part of seeing the walls crumble into dust, into memory, leaving the Self visible and revealing a deep connection to the Soul, fully and completely, to show your Soul, through you, to the world. In doing so, you become that pebble.
My presence as a trans woman, who has an incredibly empathic and healing nature, scares people. Everything about me created fear in those around me, which asked them to look within, asking them to study their beliefs in more detail. The highly reflective mirror I became brought their pain, fear and unbridled terror to the surface for them to look at. They didn’t want to look, so they rejected me instead, as it was easier for them to do so.
Being pushed away and rejected by so many is painful beyond measure.
For us to see what is possible, we must be shown examples of that possibility in action; otherwise, we remain static and unchangeable. Thus, we never evolve.
Those who are already compassionate will not be fearful, as they are embarking on a journey to discover who they truly are. This is called Self-Awareness.
Those not yet ready to see their true Self will recoil with horror at seeing another person’s vulnerability and authenticity. That is a natural reaction, a survival mechanism, to be fearful of difference. Where that survival mechanism was useful millennia ago, a sort of tribal mentality, it no longer provides protection, as we need each other to exist in a world that is crumbling due to toxic opinions and beliefs, which are well beyond their sell-by date. When food ages, it becomes toxic, resulting in food poisoning. The same thing happens to opinion and belief.
Helping one another and guiding another person to be the best they can be raises our own vibration and consciousness. And this, in turn, helps our own survival.
We forget this at our peril.
