purity of heart

Marshall McLuhan, Understanding Media

There’s courage involved if you want to become truth. There is a broken- open place in a lover. Where are those qualities of bravery and sharp compassion in this group? What’s the use of old and frozen thought? I want a howling hurt. This is not a treasury where gold is stored; this is for copper. We alchemists look for talent that can heat up and change. Lukewarm won’t do. Halfhearted holding back, well-enough getting by? Not here.

Repost @marina.y.t ・・・ When we think of trauma, the first thing that comes up is extreme trauma.⁣ ⁣ But the truth is that trauma can show up in many different ways, and there is no shame in admitting and realizing that every single human has experienced trauma.⁣ ⁣ As human, we are incredibly resilient, so we are always able to move through trauma by taking its greatest lessons into our hearts and releasing the difficult emotions and energies that lay buried in our bodies after trauma.⁣ ⁣ The other day we had a wonderful discussion about this on CH, realizing that if we had someone there to support us through our dark moments, then they did not manifest as symptoms later in life.⁣ ⁣ But if we were all alone, then we were likely deeply impacted by what happened to us, and we carry it with us into our lives.⁣ ⁣ The resiliency of the human spirit lies in our ability to reach out, admit we are struggling, and ask for support.⁣ ⁣ Every single one of us deserves to be supported on our journey of trauma healing, and I feel so honored to be a coach that bridges the gap between present moment stuckness and shutdown, and past trauma and pain.⁣ ⁣ Once we bridge this gap, there is so much compassion that flows with the understanding, and healing starts to happen bit by bit. ⁣

also you put it perfectly… everything must be marketable and profitable… even #relatability is another part of people’s brands… i’m so cynical about the whole internet persona thing, don’t trust any of it
