True-Self Recovery: A Search and Rescue Mission

How different it would have been if I arrived at the realization that I had truly lost my True-Self, and it was time to do something about it earlier in my life. A voluntary thing. Part of the healing journey for serious emotional trauma in childhood that I had been on for many years. There were times, certainly, when therapy and my inner explorations of a traumatic past entered this deep territory. But never consciously or deliberately targeted as, “Time to rescue my True Self.”

No, I never understood it or framed it that way. Until I had broken down in a big way, after a lifetime of carrying my many and deep emotional wounds; never really able to release the most egregious and damaging stuff. The stuff that changes you, and makes you unfamiliar and embarrassed and guilty about yourself. Causes eruptions of anger, depression, and alienation. Alters your mental health. The stuff that makes you assume new images and projections because the old you needed a positive replacement. And I am not talking about the changes in growth and maturity we experience as natural elements of our developmental cycles and life experiences. Those are the lifeblood of a meaningful human life. I mean the other selves we create because the genuine article can’t cope with its life’s circumstances.

For me, True-Self Recovery was a combination of luck, knowing, and desperation. Following a catastrophic breakdown at 65 years old, the big one that was always going to come. And even being an energy healer myself, nothing and no one was going to stop this, or heal it enough to lessen its impact. I had been working on my healing for decades, energetically and with great therapy. No, this tremendous emotional explosion I had to figure out by myself.

Not as an energy healer. But as a simple human man. Admittedly, with spiritual, energetic, and emotional insight and intelligence. I had to find a goal, find the most strategic mental and emotional destination within me. Under everything, if I had any chance of significant recovery.

I needed to make some startling discoveries about myself and about my healing technique to survive my breakdown. One day, it came to me - I really do not have a definitive goal other than getting back into the world. And becoming emotionally stable again. I need an ultimate, attainable and oh so very obvious (although I didn’t see it for the longest time) goal. THE goal. The thing that is not on top of the mountain. It moves the mountain. The thing under the mountain. The source. What is the source of us? Where did we begin? What was lost? Whose loss has affected absolutely everything about me since? True Self.

I’m sure I heard the term before. And probably used it in my healing work on others over the years. But that’s all it was to me: a phrase. An abstract concept. In my desperation, I made it real. I made it my goal, both as my healing pay-off, and in embodying it. Becoming it once again. I knew I was right. I knew that now that I had a tangible end result, I could feel and sense my way to it. It took another two years, but I made it.

I have always known what we need spiritually is already within us. Our spiritual journeys (and life journeys) are just full circle. My True-Self journey and discovery how to take it was just me going back to the innocent beginning, Going home. So I could feel and be my natural self again. Carrying it forward to the positive and enriching experiences and growth of who I am now. And my life’s trauma and pain and memories and emotional and psychological baggage and confusion started to fall away and dissolve. True Self moved the mountain.

Yes, it would have been convenient and far less painful and destructive if I had figured out True Self years ago. But then, I wouldn’t be who I am now. And I like this guy and feel whole and good-hearted and at ease with myself, and wise and fulfilled at 68-years-old. That’s all that matters.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
