synopsis

Intro: . . .

 

 

Title:

 

Jou gister en vandag is deur mekaar geknoop.
‘n Kraaines van onophoudelike opkropping waar
die kake van ‘moet’ aan jou vreet soos ‘n suur wat
die vlees verteer tot die wit kalk van been ontbloot.
Waar is die genade?

perception

A perception of the significance of avoiding being a victim – the light in the tunnel
I saw myself in a superior realm, facing a soul that represented an abuser in my life/lives. This soul was overwhelmed with sorrow and regret, because of this contribution to my experience/s of rejection.

However, in this higher realm, although it is possible to experience regret if a lifetime was not utilised to its fullest potential, it is not possible to hold on to the worldly illusion of rejection – instead, it is clearly obvious that we are all ‘one’, and you cannot be rejected from yourself.

I realised that I had allowed the abuse, in order to create a platform on which to conquer the insight of how – and more importantly, why – not to be a victim.

I faced my abuser that functioned as the vehicle on my road of growth, and acknowledged this soul that temporarily stinted self growth for the sake of mine. As I came to this understanding, I released this soul, and only then did the sorrow subside – for now, the offering was not in vain.

There was content in the knowing that entirety has just moved closer to Pure Love.
