What Will End With Us? Ancestral Healing and the Courage to Break Generational Cycles
Some of the patterns we carry did not begin with us. This reflection explores ancestral healing, inherited survival responses, and the choices we can make to create a healthier emotional inheritance for future generations. -
Dear sire, and offspring worthy of your fire!
We bards are dupes to what ourselves admire.
Would I be brief — I grow confused and coarse;
Who aims at smoothness, fails in fire and force;
In him who soars aloft, bombast is found;
Who fears to face the tempest, crawls aground.
Who courts variety and fain would ring
A thousand changes on the self-same string,
Will paint, as ’twere in fancy’s wildest mood
Boars in the wave and dolphins in the wood.
Thus even error, shun’d without address,
Breeds error, diff’rent in its kind, not less.
[Maxima pars vatum, pater et iuvenes patre digni,
decipimur specie recti: brevis esse laboro,
obscurus fio; sectantem levia nervi
deficiunt animique; professus grandia turget;
serpit humi tutus nimium timidusque procellae:
qui variare cupit rem prodigialiter unam,
delphinum silvis adpingit, fluctibus aprum:
in vitium ducit culpae fuga, si caret arte.]Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 2, ep. 3 “Art of Poetry [Ars Poetica; To the Pisos],” l. 24ff (2.3.24-31) (19 BC) [tr. Howes (1845)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/horace/14582/

Here’s a biter: The thing about #dichotomy, if you know, you know it’s pretty frustrating. The key to unlock it is this: The reason #dichotomy is frustrating is because we’re making the #circumstances the deciding factor for the solution. Hence, a solution at one event is the problem at another.

@KeithJChouinard I think I know what you mean. The saying "you don't know what you don't know" may fit well here. It is similar to say... the #phenomena of #color #blindness.
If you are #colorblind and cannot #perceive a color you may never #realize you do not perceive it, rendering your #perception of your #experience of the world literally not as #clear as others. You may even possibly struggle at certain aspects of life. You may only realize there is something more happening after someone finds a way to prove to you that they see the same thing differently.
There are #tools to help you see more clearly if you realize your color blindness.
Interestingly, I just looked it up, approximately 60% of people don't realize they are color blind.
I'm sure the that percentage is much higher for those who are #unaware of their #extrasensory #perception.
