In actual fact, Soul Wounds are precious opportunities, if at times difficult and painful experiences, for the Soul to remember, to rediscover its Divinity, its virtues, qualities, gifts and talents. This is because every Soul Wound is actually a virtue or a quality of the Soul that has been masked, blocked, deactivated by the fear-based false programs contained in and specific to each Soul Wound, such as: distorted perceptions, false beliefs, discordant feelings, and harmful behaviours that are components of each Soul Wound and derived from the previous discordant Soul’s experiences

Think of Soul Wounds as the ‘Rapids’ or as the ‘White waters’ and ‘Waterfalls’ of the River of Life, when they are activated. The river’s waters are re-oxygenated, and its nutrients are liberated from the sediments that carry them. Hence, passing through these “rough waters” actually enriches the waters, increases the productivity of the river’s ecosystem, and is for the highest benefit all that exists in the river as a whole.

Note too, that after every rapid, after every white water or waterfall, the river turns into a peaceful meander, where the current is gentle and the energy is harmonious and in balance.

In the same way, after every “rough patch”, after every challenge presented when the Soul Wounds are activated by outer events or by discordant memories, the Soul has a respite, a quiet peaceful period,
which provides the Soul some time for contemplation and integration; a period to take stock of the elements of the events that it experienced and hopefully, learn the lesson(s) and grow from that experience.

How graceful and easy is each experience is up to the Soul. It decides whether to react with: rejection, resistance, anger, intolerance, impatience, victimhood, allocate blame to others, feel shame and guilt for its own behaviours, etc. Or alternatively, as it grows from the knocks received, the Soul learns to surrender all control and attachment to results – not in cowardice, but as an act of humility and gratefulness to its own I AM Presence or God.

In the analogy of the River of Life, rather than swimming against the current while in the rapids and waterfalls, and by doing so, exhausting itself and being overwhelmed with despair, the Soul can choose to lie on its back and allow itself to float in the current of the River of Life, thus facilitating its passage between the rocks and logs in the River, until the current gently takes it to the peaceful quiet meander to have a rest, lick its wounds and take stock.

WE offer you the River of Life analogy, beloveds, to encourage you to practice surrender, release control and attachment to your Soul Wounds and to the outcomes of events. Thereby, acquire more wisdom, have more Faith in your own Inner Knowing, learn to Trust your own instincts, and realize that everything happens in Divine Order and in perfect Divine Timing for the highest benefit of the Soul.

Consequently, the Soul will end up with a higher quotient of Self-love, with acceptance of all that occurs and self-acceptance, more compassion and mercy for itself, and feels more empowered by steering the direction of its perceptions and thoughts, and choosing the quality of its thoughts, feelings and actions. Therefore, the Soul acquires a higher level of Consciousness.

Alternatively, if the Soul chooses to remain rigid, stubborn, and insist that it is in control and expects all results to be as it wants them to be, come rain or hail, then each challenge will be extremely painful, unproductive and will result in dis-ease (physical, mental and emotional imbalance). And ultimately, the Soul will feel unworthy, a failure, not good enough, a victim, and other forms and aspects of self-rejection.
