Transforming Wound Into Light

Referring to the findings of Dr. Judith Orloff in The Empath's Survival Guide, one fifth of all the human population on earth are empath. A type of person who has many more seeds of empathy than the average person. The bad news, this type of human can easily be injured. The good news is that the empath are the people with the most potential which can be invited to illuminate the world.

Wounded childhood, quickly feeling sorry for others, as children they cry more often than the other children, their friends often called them too sensitive, the parents repeatedly advise that person to be much stronger to face life, often being touched to hear the suffering of the world. These are some signs of the empath.

Bright Old Age

There are increasing numbers of aging people who need much more attention. Not only is their body sleepless, their souls are also restless. To serve many spiritual seekers, it is worth contemplating to divide life into two chapters. Suppose we are blessed by the age of 80, the first 40 years are chapter one. The next 40 years are chapter two.

In the first chapter the body is still strong, the concentration is also still strong. For that reason, it is easy to understand that in the beginning of life humans are hungry to accumulate many things. Sadly, too many people whose bodies have entered the second chapter, but how they grow is still like the first chapter. The end is predictable, life collapsed bringing a lot of sadness and sorrow.

Dancing With The Shadow

Law and social norms especially, often make people hide and suppress emotions that are considered to be bad and negative. On the surface, these habits can indeed make a person look more civilized. But in the depth of the person, this is what keeps the soul away from being happy and healthy.

Quoting from well-known psychologist Carl G. Jung, emotions that are suppressed and hidden for a long time, will follow someone as a shadow everywhere. If it is not properly expressed, the last shadow will appear to the surface in the form of fear, sadness and sorrow. It is not impossible that it will grow into deep suffering.
