Healing Wounds in the Collective Consciousness
Healing Collective Consciousness
Healing collective Social Wounds. The Collective Consciousness’s role in healing collective Wounds.
The Collective Consciousness is expansive. ebbing and flowing, bubbling and blossoming forth. Seeking to reach new heights, have new folds known.
Seeking safety, it retracts slightly.
At the ground level, it is still expansive. It tries to stretch and crawl, yet it feels infinitely less free. A stuck feeling is present on the ground, among the people, the physical realm. It’s trying to expand, and, like sticky puddy, is pulled back down.
Social Wounds comes into the picture. It clings to the Consciousness for its dear life, sobbing, crying and hissing. It feels safe in the Collective Consciousness; there’s familiarity.
It is a heavy weight on the Collective Consciousness’s flow, reflected in the ground-level stickiness. The Collective Consciousness tries to expand, one tendral is able to move outwards, but the majority of it is tied to the ground by the social Wounds’ gripping.
The Collective Consciousness feels responsible for the Social Wounds. It moves out and then circles back in to be with the sobbing, scared Wounds.
Healing enters. It overlooks and surveys what’s happening. It wants to create space, wants to facilitate expansion. Expansion and space between the Wounds and the Consciousness, and within the Consciousness itself.
Healing and Wounds come together in unprecedented ways. The Collective Consciousness brings her children together to merge and discover new forms, new potentials.
The Social Wounds react to being seen, to receiving Healing: “Me? You care about me?” asks the one, face cupped in hands. And “no! I’m too scared, too ashamed, too forgotten.” replies another, protectively rejecting anything that comes close.
Healing honors the Wounds that feel flabbergasted by the care. Mirrors the Wounds, meets them where they’re at. Holds their womb, their starting points, their foundations in recognition. And then bows at their feet in sincere reverence for the role they’ve played in our collective development.
Healing is patient, kind and attentive to the Wounds that lash out in fear. It stays intimately connected, slowly guiding the wound out from its pain. Healing sticks by the Wounds’ side regardless of how hard it pushes away, regardless of how resistant it is. Healing helps the Wounds not be afraid of the outside world, helps it merge with what’s all around it.
The Collective Consciousness continues to connect dots. Continues to connect Wounds to Healing, and Healing to Wounds. All merge into one unified whole, with reverence still at the center.
A circle forms, full connection. laughter. There is joy and awe at the experience being co-created. At the accomplishment that is being done.
