That is very true. Thank you for that!
Whenever I feel hurt by someone or something, it's like re-experiencing past trauma, only it seems as if happening in the present. My defenses may go up further reinforcing that sense of separation from true self.
I think part of our souls mission in life, is to realize we are okay no matter what happens in this world, but that is a process of pealing back layers of false self.
It's realizing our ability to love and be loved is not tied to our earthly persona. The more we can let go, the more we will return to that child-like state before we were injured.
