When we resolve our traumatic past, we begin to evolve quite naturally as life intended.

This is our deepest and most natural tendency—to grow beyond ourselves.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large; line-height: 25px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large; line-height: 25px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: medium; line-height: 25px;">In order to grow, we must align with this calling. But there is a price: we must resolve our traumatic legacy. We must leave our tribes and their denial of the wounds we carry. We must leave their limiting definitions of meaning and safety. We must part company with the known and the norm and the poison they unwittingly carry. We must shun the external definitions of identity. We cannot play a role to be true. We must define ourselves by aligning with the truth at our core and grow beyond the attitudes and behaviour of our tribe and the culture that sustains their denial.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large; line-height: 25px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large; line-height: 25px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: medium; line-height: 25px;">To fail to grow is an aberration, a thwarting of our natural propensity. To fail to grow is a perversion of our natural instincts to be more. This thwarting of our natural urge to evolve is the result of emotional trauma, inflicted during childhood by those who had power over us. These traumas entangle our life force and inhibit our growth. Our child within remains in shock and terror—daring neither to be true nor creative. </span><span class="sumo_twilighter_highlighted twilighter-17206261" style="background-color: rgba(68, 68, 68, 0.14902); border: 0px !important; color: #444444; float: inherit !important; font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: medium; font-stretch: inherit !important; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px !important; outline: none; padding: 0px !important; vertical-align: inherit !important;">When we resolve our traumatic past, we begin to evolve quite naturally as life intended.<span class="sumo_twilighter_shares" style="-webkit-user-select: none; background-color: transparent !important; background-image: url("../images/apps/331c6750-848e-4469-b1bb-bfbb4fa4cd99/twilighter_sm.png") !important; background-position: 4px 0px !important; background-repeat: no-repeat !important; border: none; box-shadow: none !important; color: rgb(94, 171, 223) !important; font-size: xx-small !important; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px 4px 0px 18px !important; vertical-align: middle !important; visibility: visible;">1</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: medium; line-height: 25px;">Our consciousness expands and we know and align with the truth that runs like a river through all that is—including us.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large; line-height: 25px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large; line-height: 25px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: medium; line-height: 25px;">We needn’t invent the capacity to grow: we either allow it or prevent it. For some, to grow seems farfetched, which reveals how far we have drifted from our natural purpose and how terrified our child within has become. The failure to grow depicts the power of convention and highlights the overt or hidden pressure exerted on us by our tribes to remain obedient, wounded children.</span><br /> <br /> <br /> The Ten Stages is a studied recovery course. It is a source of reconnection a method of unlearning and a reintroduction to our child within which leads us back to our one true intuitive voice.We start to learn and come out of our protective dysfunctional shell and reclaim our lives. #childwithin#10stages<br /> <div class="zemanta-related" style="clear: both; margin-top: 20px; overflow: hidden;"> <h4 class="zemanta-related-title"> Related articles</h4> <ul class="zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image" style="margin: 0; overflow: hidden; padding: 0;"> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li" style="background: none; display: block; float: left; font-size: 11px; list-style: none; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px; padding: 0; text-align: left; vertical-align: top; width: 84px;"><a href="http://socialpsychologists.blogspot.com/2015/07/growth-is-when-we-realise-expansive.html" style="border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; display: block; padding: 2px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><img src="//i.zemanta.com/351760392_80_80.jpg" style="border: 0; display: block; margin: 0; max-width: 100%; padding: 0; width: 80px;" /></a><a href="http://socialpsychologists.blogspot.com/2015/07/growth-is-when-we-realise-expansive.html" style="background-image: none; display: block; height: 83px; line-height: 12pt; overflow: hidden; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Growth is when we realise the expansive urge for truth at our core.
