I admit I am not without fear
Blenching and trembling
Separation is what I am
Creating the illusion of death
To counteract this I control
Both myself and others
From which judgement is bred
And thus more fear
From which equanimity is slain
And thus more separation
I collect my judgement
And form unlimited beliefs
Which prolong my survival
But bring no joy but suffering
So I window-dress my fear, my judgement
And my beliefs
And label them as opinions
Perhaps I need not confess
But learn humbly from love
I have never meant to hurt
For my intent is not
If my only purpose is to protect
Then I am not so different from her
As I dissolve into love
And being love and not doing out of love
I shall live in the heart
And no longer in the mind

Inner Piece and Inner Peace
When we are traumatised, whether it is a physical trauma or an emotional one, something happens deep within us. A part of our soul flees our bodies for survival purposes. The dissociated part carries the emotion or pain as an adaptive mechanism. Most often, it is an experience whereby the pain maybe too challenging to apprehend. Quite miraculously, our psyches have their own knee-jerk reaction which is to self-protect by having a part of the soul leaving the body so that we do not need to suffer from the full impact of the pain. Whilst the ingenuity of such has allowed people to move forward, it also deters them from living fully. The side-effect, as you can imagine, is that "not feeling quite the same ever since...". Chronic physical or mental illnesses are testimonials of soul loss, and so are addictions. The latter case is indeed a manifestation where people need to look for external fulfilment to fill up those empty spaces inside them. Not only will we be unable to live wholesome life, we will also have a tendency to attract others who share those same feelings that cause the soul loss, thus leading to dysfunctional relationships at the very least.
Even so, the universe is always compassionate to us. With strong intent and good faith, whatever that is lost can be gained back. Of course, there are always well-trained and experienced shamans who can perform ceremonies and do soul retrieval for you. But that maybe reserved for those who are familiar and receptive to such kind of practice, albeit its existence for at least 40, 000 years according to archaeological evidence. If that is not a choice, you can at least consider the following:
Do recognise and accept the loss of that part in you.
Do identify the missing part.
Do explore how and when it first happened.
Do reclaim the missing part.
The last step is crucial and there are plenty of ways that you can use to explore once you are open to the idea of reconnection. Remember - All souls yearn for its own completeness. And all beliefs are intertwined with repeated thoughts and feelings, which then feed into each other and become repeated patterns. By identifying that initial thought that has resulted in the hijack of that missing piece, the rest will fall into place.

All Rebirths are Rebirths of Thoughts
Reincarnation is a word that most people associate with Eastern philosophies, and karma seems to go hand in hand with it. Some, especially buddhists, might say that rebirth is a more appropriate word as it it does not carry the weight of permanence as much as reincarnation. Whichever word one adopts, it has a suggestion of concreteness and materiality, whether such entities are in human forms or not.
But seldom will people dig deeper and enquire the true nature of rebirth. Rebirths are indeed rebirths of thoughts. Conversely, true surrender is also death, but not death in any physical sense. Rather, it is death of our incessant thoughts - thoughts that we cling onto and strongly identify with "I". It is through the cessation of thoughts that we can see through karma from which we derive cessation of suffering. You no longer are at its mercy and can make a conscious choice of playing along with it proactively or staying neutral by simply observing. In other words, when karma arrives at your door, you can see where it comes from and use it as an opportunity to understand the law of causality. When the roots are demystified, you can change the script, of your drama.
