Our child withins hidden agenda constantly asks for our care and to take a chance on our recovery, but we do the opposite. We run away because we’re afraid of suffering experienced as a child. The block of pain and sorrow in us feels overwhelming so we attempt to re-create the experience to gain a more positive out come. Even if we have time, we don’t come home to ourselves because we fail to recognise the deeply buried needs of our child.. We try to keep ourselves constantly busy—watching television or movies, socialising, or using alcohol or drugs—because we don’t want to be reminded of that suffering all over again.But constantly we are because of our unrealised life choices. The same old,the same old, people life choices, friends,scenarios.We dissociate from our child within in a myriad different ways.


The child within is there and we don’t even know it is there. The child within in us is a reality, but we can’t see. That inability to see is a kind of enforced ignorance. This child has been severely wounded returning to us as failed life options it really needs us to return to sort out our childhood traumas. Instead we turn away.


Enforced denial is in each cell of our body and our consciousness. It’s like a drop of ink diffused in a glass of water. That ignorance stops us from seeing reality; it pushes us to do foolish things that make us suffer even more and wound again the already-wounded child in us.


The child within is also in each cell of our body. There is no cell of our body that does not have that child within in it. We don’t have to look far into the past for that child. We only have to look deeply and we can be in touch with our own intuition emanating from our hidden child. The suffering of that child is lying inside us right now in the present moment.


But just as the suffering is present in every cell of our body, so are the seeds of awakened understanding of the ten stages and happiness handed down to us from our ancestors. We just have to use them. We have a lamp inside us, the lamp of childhood understanding, which we can light anytime. The oil of that lamp is in our breathing calming, quietening the hubbub , our stages of recovery, and our peaceful mind. We have to light up that lamp of our recovery so the light will shine out and the darkness of our unanswered questions will dissipate and cease. Our journey is to light up the lamp of the ten stages.


When we become aware that we’ve attempted to forget the child within ourselves, we feel great compassion for that child and we begin to healing generate the energy of ten stage recovery. That energy will embrace us and heal us, and will heal the child within in us.
