"'Dr. Zhivago, in Boris Pasternak's great book, said "We are made ill by saying the opposite of what we feel, groveling before what we dislike, and rejoicing at what brings us nothing but misfortune."
While this may seem to be a gloomy statement on human nature, I have found most people nod affirmatively when they hear or read it. Being pulled from inner needs and personal truths by a demanding environment may be one of the root causes of disease or disharmony." These words written by Jeanne Achterberg in her Woman as Healer book reveal the way we fall into a pattern of forgetting everyday a little death takes place when we align with ideas we do not believe, when we stop talking about what is important and we forget the inner spark burning in each of us to celebrate the truth.
Compassion is standing in support of wellness in our homes, our communities, our world, shifting out of our belief that we need to subjugate our authentic truth. It is remembering we are the creator and the created born to heal that which goes off track.
