The Transmutation Process
Life is a bit like a stack of pancakes, all of a similar flavour. As I understand it, we pretty much have a main theme each lifetime that we are working with. We draw to us (usually we’re not aware of this) situations with a similar flavour or theme, to help us clear this particular thing. It keeps on happening until we understand it is for healing, nothing to do with anyone else really, but to help us.
The top pancake (situation) is the one we see that has done the damage. But this is only the latest in the stack, even though it is apparently the most painful. This one is just a replay of a major wound, probably from our childhood, or from a previous life or lives, or both.
If, for instance, we are devastated by a loved partner leaving us, most likely, we will have had love withdrawn from us as a child - maybe one major event, or lots of small ones - or both. Not only was love perhaps withdrawn, but there could also have been anger - none of which was anything we did – it was not our fault, and we weren’t to blame. Most likely it was our mother or father who withdrew love, or both. They probably came up against a situation and they just couldn’t cope - very likely a re-run of their own childhood.
So we naturally looked to our parents as our source of love, just as plants look to the sun. And suddenly, love is withdrawn. Then grief and fear is deeply experienced and not understood, because we are too young to understand why this terrible thing could happen! On top of that we learn anger, because anger is there too, and it’s being used to mask the grief. We see it going on, so we learn to do it too. We all learn these things by osmosis.
So now there is a pattern set - of the withdrawal of love, unbearable pain and grief, and then anger. We were dependent on our parents’ love then. We were too young to realize that we are the source of love. We were dependent on someone else for it.
If we go back even further, we would find that our soul chose these particular parents for this particular lesson, this particular set of conditioning, so that we could unravel it when we are ready - undo it, forgive it, cleanse it, and turn it back into love. This is our task.
There are many ways we can do emotional clearing work - the Journey, EFT, Avatar, and others. The cancer my body has, is most likely a manifestation of emotional patterns stored in the subtle bodies for so long, it finally became crystallized in the physical. It’s part of my work for this lifetime. I take full responsibility for it. Even if I don’t “cure” it in the physical, just realizing how it came about, and approaching it with love and compassion, is healing. What we’re doing is transmuting. All situations are a test in the art of transmutation into forgiveness, healing, and love.
