Our life’s work it is to recover our child within.

border: 0px; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.375px; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> In becoming recovered, we must work to know our story and its implications.<span id="more-162" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span>  We must toil in the fields of past feelings and trauma.  As members of a traumatised species, we all must face the fact that our past is troubled, filled with brambles, weeds, and disappointment.  When we struggle to root out the secrets of our painful history, we free our vitality and our garden grows.  Our dreams of artful, purposeful living become a reality.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.375px; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> With conscious living, our work shifts from survival and drudgery to vocation.  We develop our talents and gifts from the point of view of a life’s mission.  We sing, we dance, we write.  We become scientists, healers—and visionaries.  We no longer beg sustenance from life as an indigent child.  We strive to contribute to life from the surplus of an awakened adult.  Famine is over—the harvest is abundant.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.375px; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> As we become more awakened, we view the unconsciousness of others with compassion.  It was only yesterday that we were lost in our own nightmare of despair and our work seemed only to keep the wolf from the door and our pain at bay.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.375px; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> When we approach life awakened, our daily labor, even a routine chore, transcends its specific form.  Now every task expands our recovery—for we are conscious.  The example of a recovered person affects all who come near him or her.  The fruits of our labor as the recovered bring humanity closer to its consonance with truth.</div> <div class="zemanta-related" style="clear: both;
