"The trauma of original sin is
the trauma of language”.
Most
people have more faith in others than they do in themselves. There is a secret
to overcoming this suggestibility and of learning to listen once again to your
own intuition, to the inner Word.
I
remember one time when I was a young boy someone said something mean to me. All
at once I became conscious of my reaction. I wondered, "How could mere
words hurt so much?" After all no one took a rock and hit me with it. You
see even at eleven years old I was a searching soul. I was already standing
back and looking at the awesome effect of words. I saw how my ego was built out
of them.
I
also remember that sometimes I would ask myself a question and words would come
back from within my mind. I thought, "This is ridiculous!" Here I am,
asking myself a question and this part of me that sounds like me but isn't me
comes up with an answer. I saw that I still didn't know the real answer, even
though it pretended to be me giving me the answer. You too have this language
spirit, a descendant of the spirit of doubt which was there when Paradise was
lost. It has been passing from mothers to children ever since the fall.
Whenever
you indulge in any wrong, the spirit of that sin gets inside of you. When Adam
partook of the fruit, the sin that was on the outside made a home in him. It
has operated from its new home in all of us ever since. Even in your own
not-so-original traumas, you will find the same phenomenon going on. Whatever
is present in the trauma scene effects a change in your nature and your changed
nature henceforth answers slavishly to those people, places and things until
you find the truth that sets you free.
"Someone calls you a stupid
fool. You react emotionally and through that reaction you come to believe you
are a fool”.
