Do I retreat behind walls for safety, or I’m I keeping the walls safe?
Since the announcement of the upcoming Heartsong 2 stage upgrade, I’ve been thinking about people and relationships. Why was I mostly alone for the vast majority of my adult life despite the qualities I’ve cultivated, despite intentions and taking massive actions to not be so? Why I’ve mostly felt alone despite company? Why have I struggled so needlessly letting anyone close despite always wanting the best for them? Despite sharing my hard-earned growth and peace with them? Showing them world’s they couldn’t fathom existed? Despite always being willing to correct the wrongs I do, taking accountability for those wrongs without compromising who I am?
The more I discover myself, the less they or anyone in particular seem to have anything to do with it. It could be any and or a combination of synergizing factors
- That I didn’t know myself
- I wanted to not be a bad human instead of wanting to be myself and loving him
- That I was hurt, disappointed and betrayed on schedule
- That I compromised far too much due to lack of self love / self respect
- Not believing others when they endlessly demonstrate and express, directly or indirectly, that I am too good for them
- Genuine wrongs I did for which I am learning to forgive myself for
- Not being crystal clear about where I am selfish
- Assuming my accepting of their flaws and selfishness being reciprocated
- Assuming my refusal to hurt being reciprocated
- Hoping for understanding, while secretly believing it impossible to begin with… So its actually " hoping to be proven wrong about being difficult to understood "
- Growing up, learning and re learning to trust myself
- Outgrowing them, the connection or vise versa
- Choosing the potential over the person
- Turning a blind eye to early signs of disrespect and emotional projections
- Feeling responsible, by my own free will, for their happiness and for always being the bigger person
While one could endlessly work on each individual subject matter. To tweak, improve, eliminate, focus on, explore or re frame any and all of them is building on sand. They are all effects rather than causes.
I am beginning to explore the real cause which is keeping the walls safe. My past has given me more than enough justification to trust in them and my stubborn efforts, regardless of intention, only proved them stronger.
I remember running current Heartsong for a short while around few years ago, and the recon was worse than Total Breakdown because the latter seemed to at the very least, lead to something tangible. Back then HS felt like it talked to man who’ve been ablaze all his life about connections so opposite to the flames they make them seem unfathomable instead… And that his flames, wounds and hurt ware in the way… The man angers feeling his efforts and intelligence mocked, like any of it was a choice he made let alone something he deserved
Even with the flames out, the man darkened and charred, has lived feeling that barely anything changed. Despite smarter choices, better efforts and lots of reflection… There was no outrunning it. So he wonders how? Through everything he overcame could he still feel the burn? To him, it simply defied rationality.
To hate and blame himself is to pour gasoline on the remaining embers.
To try again and doing the same is insanity
To shut down, self isolate and surrender is to stop living and throw all previous efforts down the drain.
But he, no I, wont be doing any of those. With those failures, I’ve purchased clarity and confidence that defies faith… To focus on tearing down those walls, or to resist reinforcing them is not the answer either, the right conclusion is to Build something worth inhibiting… It it looks like:
-
There is an abundance of incredible, amazing and wonderful people that will lift me even higher. And I am beyond excited to need their help and to be grateful for their presence
-
There is an abundance of opportunity’s to meet such incredible people. To find friends that understand, support and respect me… Women that are unable to contain their desire to explore me and for me to explore them… respectfully, peacefully and passionately. Connections that will take me further and faster in life
-
That I am ABSO-FUCKING-LUTLY worthy of such opportunities and connections
-
And those mean that I am blessed with a natural filter that repels those who’s presence will not be and is no longer welcome.
My answer is no affirmation. It’s a belief that defies rationality. Despite everything, am grateful for every influence I’ve ever experienced by anyone regardless of degree. I am sorry for any hurt or trouble I’ve ever caused anyone. I embrace life which pre ordains that to live is to hurt and be hurt, to exist is to be a burden… and I am looking forward to what comes next… especially new HS stage 1
This is far from one-time shift. I still have scars to mend and foundations to lay. Healing the former and building the latter will take time, like anything of real value. I won’t mind echo’s of my previous system persisting a while longer in the meantime, in fact I welcome them for allowing me the opportunity to take action by no longer resonating with em
Because everyone is the right person for a different reason. Either to aid in evolution or our desired life
