Wounds of the Past
We've all been wounded. Somewhere along this road of life someone or something stabbed a figurative knife in our back or heart and the pain was overwhelming.
We shed tears. Got angry. Built protective walls around us. And sometimes let the bitterness grow until we felt that burning urge to get even. Yet other times we just stayed sad, letting that wound grow bigger and bigger until it robbed us of our self esteem and ate away at our happiness.
I recently published a book. It's titled Death...and the Lessons I Learned,* and was written with the sole purpose of helping others find peace, love, acceptance and personal growth in the difficult moments of life. The stories are all personal, and were written with love and healing intentions.
Reviews have been favourable. Then this week I received a handwritten note that called my writing arrogant and smug because I chose to write about my own 'privileged' life as he called it, and not about something more important and more tragic, like the holocaust or genocide.
At first I was confused. Bewildered even. The diatribe came from a person I have always held in highest esteem and love dearly. I look up to him. It made absolutely no sense that he would attack me, let alone in this manner.
I am senstivie and I was hurt. He had drastically missed the point. Then I got angry. I felt the urge to lash out at him, defend myself, and defend my position, my integrity and the healing, loving purpose of the book.
But this would have served no purpose. To get angry and react so defensively would only have cast a dark shadow over me, the book and its intentions.
Wounds can be inflicted from almost anything.
A friend of mine went through a divorce five years ago which stemmed from her husband having an affair. She was crushed beyond belief and stayed in the angry, resentful, bitter place for a very long time.
Sometimes a wound can be self-inflicted. I remember a number of years ago a good friend of mine lost his wife in a tragic accident. After a year he confided he was ready to date again and asked for my help. So I set him up with another friend of mine and low and behold, they fell madly in love.
I took great pride in that. In the happiness he found again. Then one day, a few years into their relationship, she was diagnosed with incurable cancer. She died a year later.
I blamed myself for causing my friend to lose another love. It was a deep, self-inflicted wound and took me some time to let go and heal from.
This is the lesson for today. We must let go of the wounds from yesterday so that we can open our hearts and minds to the joys of today. Nothing positive comes from holding on to the wounds that have been inflicted upon us, they just stop us from seeing the wonderful moments in today.
To clear yourself and heal from the wounds of the past, follow these simple steps:
1. Start by taking note of the things you resent, blame or hold anger towards. List them out. Attach names if need be. Some of you will have lists that are pages long; others will stuggle to write more than one or two entries.
2. The next step is to acknowledge the lesson(s) that was placed before you when the wound was inflicted. There will be at least one. Think in terms of what you gained from having to go through that experience. What was good? What did you learn about yourself? About others? What will you never let happen again?
3. Next, forgive. This is the hard part. You must forgive all those that were involved in the process of wounding you. That might be a person, a place, yourself, or even God.
You don't need to physically contact the person and forgive them; you merely need to recognize that you are no longer going to hold anger, blame, resentment, fear or any other negative emotion against them.
If the pain is too recent and you are not yet certain you can forgive, then fake it. Even pretending to forgive is a liberating experience and frees you from the heavy, dark weight that is holding you down.
The act of forgiving doesn't mean you accept or excuse what they did to you. It just means you will no longer allow yourself to be held back by it.
4. The final step is a visualization process to clear you once and for all. Start by visualizing a cord or rope attaching you to the person(s) or incident that created the wound. Then simply cut it. Visualize using a knife, a saw, or magical powers (whatever works for you) that disintegrate the connection. Then visualize the wound healing and your body/heart/back being perfect once more.
To live a happy and content life, we must let go of the wounds from yesterday. They are done, in the past and no longer serve a purpose. So, let them go. Learn the lesson. Complete the cylce and move on in the journey of your life.

The Deeper Wound $11.99 The author of How to Know God provides help for healing deep trauma—whenever it arises—so we may find peace in ourselves and in our world. Terror came from the sky, and afterward the world would never be the same. September, 11, 2001, defined tragedy for a generation. On that day Deepak Chopra found himself driving from city to city, meeting thousands of people who begged for meaning and solace in the face of suffering. In response he has written The Deeper Wound , offering a way of healing as a memorial to the thousands of victims who perished. The opening section, “In the Face of Tragedy,” defines suffering as the pain that threatens to make life meaningless. When our deepest needs go unfulfilled, suffering begins. We begin to heal when we go beyond personal anger and fear to a realization of our true self, the self that was never afraid and can never be wounded. The true self contains the light that no darkness can attack. Having described a path of awareness and compassion that leads to the light, the second half of The Deeper Wound takes us there through “A Hundred Days of Healing,” daily affirmations, exercises, insights, lessons, and questions—each a step out of pain toward a higher reality. “We can become living memorials to tragedy by restoring the power of life,” writes Deepak Chopra. “You are that life, you are that power. Let us see if we can find the spark that will make the spiritual flame spring up.” Healing yourself comes in two stages—first releasing the energy of suffering, then replacing it with the soul’s energy. It is a gentle and fragile path, very much like holding on to a thread as it leads you from step to step. If you take the time to listen to the voice of silence, you will be astonished at the power you have at your command, however long that power has been overlooked. A portion of the proceeds earned by the author and publisher from the sale of this book will be donated to the Red Cross to aid in humanitarian relief efforts around the world. From the Hardcover edition. |

Jacob's Wound $150 The very suggestion that there may be homoeroticism in Hebrew narrative may seem odd given the supposition that the religion and culture of ancient Israel resolutely opposed same sex erotic relationships. The apparent prohibition of homosexuality in Leviticus and the story of Sodom from Genesis have been made to speak for the whole Hebrew Bible. The oddity of this situation has not been lost on some interpreters who have recognized that the story of Sodom tells us no more about attitudes toward what we call homosexuality than the story of the rape of Dina tells us about attitudes toward heterosexuality. Prof. Jennings says that the well-known eroticism of the Hebrew Bible is not confined to heterosexuality but also includes an astonishing diversity of material that lends itself to homoerotic interpretation. In Part one, Jennings examines saga materials associated with David. It is no innovation to detect in the David and JonathanGÇÖs relationship at least the outline of a remarkable love story between two men. What becomes clear, however, is that the tale is far more complex than this since it involves Saul and is set within a context of a warrior society that takes for granted that male heroes will be accompanied by younger or lower status males. Thus the complex erotic connections between David and Saul and David and Jonathan play out against the backdrop of a context of GÇ£heroes and pals.GÇ¥ The second type of same sex relationship explored has to do with shamanistic forms of eroticism in which the sacral power of the holy man is both a product of same sex relationship and expressed through same sex practice. This section deals with Samuel and Saul and Elijah and Elisha. These are not warriors but persons whose sacral power is also erotic power that may find expression in erotic practices with persons of the same sex.The third type of same sex relationship discusses we now call transgendered persons, especially males, and their erotic relationship to (other) males. Here the book explores the transgendering of Israel by several prophets who use this device to explore the adultery and promiscuity that they wish to attribute to Israel, as well as the story of Joseph. |
