Thank you for reading it :)
You’re right, a lot of people’s lives are turned upside down and learning about this in respect to being part of the human experience, deeply embedded in the human consciousness, is not necessarily a given.
You’re right, there are so many that judge, based on their own methodologies or ideologies and seem more interested in proving their effectiveness rather than helping the person. Many people who claim they are positive and compassionate also have major blind spots in regards to dealing with crisis and pain and in fact make people feel more isolated.
I will extend a welcome to Medium! I have been writing casually for about 2 years. I look forward to you writing these articles. I also plan to write about my personal overcoming of the dark night of the soul and oddly enough, moving away from a large part of the spiritual community.
It is true we must shine the light inward in honesty to find what is really there, and it’s not only the culture outside, but we also deceive ourselves. To be authentic is a noble aspiration.
I wish you luck!
