We who are dissociated live in great peace. But this is only because we have blocked our negative feelings. The recovered stager resolves our negatives feelings, and thus his peace is not false.
We who are dissociated do not suffer. But this is only because we have abandoned our healing process and numbed our pain. True Recovery grows from the fertilised soil of our personal suffering.
Being fully dissociated, cut off from our child within calling ourselves recovered. But this is only because we have they have no conception of what recovery is. Recovery is the polar opposite of dissociation.
The dissociated are not easily emotionally ruffled. But this is only because there lies a thick wall buffering their hidden, vulnerable self from the sharp and often honest edges of the world. The recovered are much less protected, but have such a deep core of self-love that they can defend themselves gently.
The dissociated feel they have mastered forgiveness. But this is only because they completely deny the harm done to them – and the damage remaining. The recovered forgive spontaneously and without effort because they have fully embraced their damaged parts and grieved every honest ounce of their misery.
The dissociated are extremely self-confident. But this is only because their self-deceptive armour is impenetrable to self-reflection. The self-confidence of enlightenment is fed by the universal spring of life.
The dissociated gravitate naturally toward leadership roles. But this is only because they are experts at leading themselves away from their heart’s true course. The recovered leads right to the heart of the matter.
The dissociated have gone through hell to get to where they’re at. But they fail to realise that they’re still stuck right in hell. Recovery is the freedom of emotional integration.
The dissociated feel they have found their true self. But this is only because they equate their true self with no self at all – or at best a false self or ego based on a distorted sense of consciousness. Recovery is the true self linked with the child within.
The dissociated consider themselves paragons of spirituality. But this is only because their spirits are so buried behind walls of denial that they have no conception of what spirit is.
True Recovery is the passionate spirit of the child held by the consciousness of the adult.
The dissociated are quite motivated, sophisticated, and convincing. But this is only because they perennially risk returning to suffering if they do not convince everyone of their lie. Recovery brings a motivation to spread the truth that is everyone’s birthright.
The dissociated act decisively. But this is only because they cannot see or question their unconscious motivation. The Recovered are also decisive, but only because we have no unconscious, because in our healing process it, like a now-useless appendage, has dissolved.
Dissociation is contrary to recovery.Behind dissociation lies unresolved trauma, and only once trauma is resolved can the light of consciousness enter the core of our child within.
