All the holdings—the belly clenches, the tightness of breath, the tensions in the throat, jaw and brow, and the continual attempts to try to control life—this collective tension in every man, woman and child is focussed on one thing: to repress the wild, instinctual side of our nature from ever being unleashed; to present ourself as civilized and acceptable, as likeable and lovable, so as never to be rejected and left out in the cold. But it cannot carry on friends. These seismic forces, repressed for centuries in the collective psyche, are stirring, and they will not be ignored! Our journey now is to turn towards them, to recognise and acknowledge them in ourself, and welcome them in, yes welcome them in! NOT TO BE POSSESSED BY THEM, NO! But to include them CONSCIOUSLY; to integrate them, and become whole again; to feel empowered to BE WHO WE ARE, unreservedly, unashamedly, and so give birth to ‘the great renewal’.
