We are all Prisoners of our Childhood

"We are all prisoners of our childhood, whether we know it, suspect it, deny it, or have never even heard about the possibility. The realization that we can free ourselves from the consequences of old wounds will gain ground as more people prove it can be done. Inevitably, resistance to following this path is great, as we all fear our repressed past and the experience of how helpless we once were. We have had good reason to be afraid; if we did not, there would have been no need for repression. Yet the more we encounter our fear and dare to see its causes, the more it decreases."

In my book A Dance to Freedom: Your Guide to Liberation from Lies and Illusions, I prove it can be done. And once you break free from the emotional prison of your childhood, not even a mob of sociopaths conspiring together for your demise, as I had at my job of nine and half years, can trap you and take you back to the emotional prison of your childhood. 

In the workplace, I can be reminded every day of the emotional prison of my childhood by people standing in symbolizing my childhood caregivers but they can't take me back. The beauty of being a true free autonomous adult is that we can change jobs if necessary. As defenseless little children, we could not leave abusive and toxic environments, but as free-conscious adults, we can.  A mind that is truly free cannot ever be captured again.

Climate Change

Climate change is a reminder that the human mind is not in charge no matter how sharp your intellect is. 

Just like if our body is deceived by the mind, the body sooner or later will have the last word and it will present its bill.  https://sylvieshene.blogspot.com/search?q=The+body+never+lies

The planet Earth will do the same, it will have the last word, it will present its bill and we will have to pay in one form or another like it or not! 

These words by Alice Miller come to mind: “Inability to face up to the suffering undergone in childhood can be observed both in the form of religious obedience and in cynicism, irony, and other forms of self-alienation frequently masquerading as philosophy or literature. But ultimately the body will rebel. Even if it can be temporarily pacified with the help of drugs, nicotine, or medicine, it usually has the last word, because it is quicker to see through self-deception than the mind, particularly if the mind has been trained to function as an alienated self. We may ignore or deride the messages of the body, but its rebellion demands to be heeded because its language is the authentic expression of our true selves and of the strength of our vitality.” From the book, “The Body Never Lies: The Lingering Effects of Hurtful Parenting”
