𝓜𝔂 𝓜𝓸𝓶𝓮𝓷𝓽 𝓞𝓯 𝓖𝓻𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓽𝓾𝓭𝓮 - Thursday 31 July 2025

Though I did some serious rewiring already, I am starting to see how stuck I have been in that scarcity mindset.

Limiting myself for decades....

Because planning a future feels like a luxury when survival is the focus.

We are all supposed to be human.
Part of being human is to experience pain, heal wounds caused by live events, and find a way too asimilate traumas.

Or am I taking the wrong perspective here, we all have wounds and traumas, is there a world imaginable where humans would not?

What would that mean?

It would mean that we are human, that in our current reality, wounds, emotional, psychological, even spiritual, are nearly universal.

They arise from everyday life as we know it:

• Loss, failure, and change
• Neglect, abuse, or unmet needs in childhood
• Systemic issues like war, inequality, or instability
• Simply the fact that we are vulnerable beings who crave love, security, and meaning

Pain is part of the human condition. The question is, are we meant to grow through suffering, or is it collateral damage due to humans being sensitive, conscious, and relational?

Or is that a choice we make?

Could a world without trauma exist?

A world where:

• Every child is loved, mirrored, and safe
• No one is exploited, neglected, or abandoned
• Empathy and emotional regulation are taught and modeled
• Systems support wholeness instead of survival

In that world, humans might still feel pain, but not necessarily trauma.

Pain lasts as long as the mind feels the hurt. Trauma is what happens inside you when you’re overwhelmed and unsupported.

So in a world of healthy support, wounds could still occur (death, heartbreak, challenge), but they might not fracture the self the way trauma does today.

We'd still feel pain, but recover faster but would we still grow?
Would we grow faster if we were less damaged, or would we no longer be triggered to grow and settle for the status quo?

What would be the impact of removing those traumas we now carry for lifetimes?

Would we lose those things that seem to sprout from suffering, like our art, our passion?
Or would those flourish even more if suffering is eliminated?

For myself, I have grown through suffering, through pain, but have I grown through trauma? I need to take a real hard look at myself to answer that with any certainty.

And what if we did not spend our lives nurturing our wounds and managing our traumas?

What would the world look like then?

Thank you for making it this far....for those who know me...or better, think they know me, this might have been a WTF moment.

There are many sides to all of us, some sides we hide, even from ourselves.
I can be an opinionated little prick, a loving father, or simply a lost soul.

“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is: infinite.”
— William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

Jim Morrison named The Doors after this concept. I agree that reality is filtered through our limited perceptions. But we can Break On Through to the other side.

"There are things known and things unknown, and in between are the doors."
— Jim Morrison

Our minds filter & reduce everything to a digestible and categorizable size, but in the process, we lose sight of the infinite abundance that surrounds us.
