Self harm to the soul is the inner equivalent of slicing the skin. More of an internal bleed. Long sleeves aren’t needed to cover the marks. The indentations are buried deep inside.
How many of us harbour past hurts? Childhood griefs that we have played over and over in our hearts.
Each time a painful memory is replayed it gathers strength and power. After we’ve revisited a past pain thousands of times does it it even resemble that initial hurt anymore? Or are we just creating a new memory, a more caustic one?
There cannot be light without the darkness. It is an inherent part of our psyche. To have a deeper insight and meaning into our true nature we must look into the darkness to discover the secrets that have been hidden for many lifetimes. To view the darkness as a gift is the beginning to discovery and healing in order to become whole beings.
