The beginning...

Let's start at the beginning, shall we?

How did we arrive here on planet earth? Purpose? Means? Methods? Was it out of love? Expectations already set for us, to conform to certain norms? What is it?

Well, we would never be privy to these unless they are shared with us through verbal or non-verbal means. The stage that we all came through - that of a child - we were excellent perceivers of non-verbal cues, but terrible interpreters!

So, the next question here - what did we interpret while we received those non-verbal cues of expectations set by our parents onto us.. And particularly, when we couldn't meet them for our parent's sake. Sadly, most of us interpreted as - "I'm not important", "I'm not welcomed", "I'm not valued". Terrible belief to have indeed. Beliefs manifest our reality, through our thoughts and actions. So, what do we do when our belief system is compromised and not in accordance to our soul purpose. As responsible adults, we take action to evolve and change this belief system. It is much like any art or skill we are looking forward to master. Practice a muscle each day, little by little - first through conscious effort and then slowly transform into unconscious character.

Most literatures suggest that we connect with that person in our mind, and enter into a state of forgiveness. But we humans are not wired for such experiences in the head. We are sensory beings, willing and wanting to feel and make sense of our world through our senses.
