The Wounder Healer Archetype

[Confused]

I found the content in the below mentioned web page on the archetype of the 'Wounded Healer' sublime and beautiful.

http://www.crystalinks.com/woundedhealer.html

I am sure there are many wounded healers traversing these forums. It would be wonderful if a few can share their personal experiences with respect to this archetype.

[AnthroHeart]

I can't say if I identify with wounded healer, as I feel like I've been very fortunate.

Though I do have much tiredness and feel weary. I can't though pinpoint any trauma at all, or even feelings of discontent.

[Confused]

I can't say if I identify with wounded healer, as I feel like I've been very fortunate.

My feeling is that the wounded healers are fortunate too, for having had those wounds that now informs their compassion. And which gives them the strength to serve as mirrors for other selves to view their own wounds.

Please consider the following quote from Session 4 of the Law of One -

One of the primal distortions of the Law of One is that of healing. Healing occurs when a mind/body/spirit complex realizes, deep within itself, the Law of One; that is, that there is no disharmony, no imperfection; that all is complete and whole and perfect. Thus, the intelligent infinity within this mind/body/spirit complex re-forms the illusion of body, mind, or spirit to a form congruent with the Law of One. The healer acts as energizer or catalyst for this completely individual process.

The wounded healer idea is just an archetype that I am trying to understand through this post. The basic idea is that it is the trust of the self that is wounded. I think I am not clear, but this is a slightly complex topic for me.

[AnthroHeart]

Perhaps healing is nothing more than holding or allowing a higher vibration.

What Ra says about it being completely individual process resonates very well with me. Vibration is very unique and personal.

That archetype adds somewhat of a sense of charm to the mystery. Wounded healer, traveler, walker, terms like that can all represent a portion of our existence.

I have found archetypes very confusing at times as well. But I do notice that my familiarity with things is increasing with time, so I trust that I will have answers later.

While I may have wounded healer within me (interesting oxymoron btw), wanderer always has a much better ring to it in my honest perception. Maybe it's this distortion that implies the wounding, the loss of purity in that one original thought.

[Confused]

I have found archetypes very confusing at times as well.

I too feel the same. To be honest, I am not sure that I understand the word 'archetype' itself at the level of intuitive cognition, in spite of looking up the meaning of the word multiple times in the dictionary.

While I may have wounded healer within me (interesting oxymoron By the way), wanderer always has a much better ring to it in my honest perception. Maybe it's this distortion that implies the wounding, the loss of purity in that one original thought.

Your observation surfaced a question in my mind as to whether the entities that Ra refers to as 'Brothers and Sisters of Sorrow' are wanderers on this earth who reflect the archetype of the 'wounded healer'. I like your sentence regarding the loss of purity in the one original thought. May be that is what is the loss of instinctual trust in a greater plan of redemption for many entities on earth. In the sense of the aforementioned points, the following quote (session 52) from Ra has some resonance with me -

The overriding reason for the offering of these Brothers and Sisters of Sorrow in incarnative states is the possibility of aiding other-selves by the lightening of the planetary consciousness distortions and the probability of offering catalyst to other-selves which will increase the harvest.

Is the act of 'lightening of the planetary consciousness' efforts at healing or reinstating the afflicted purity of the one original thought?

[Wander-Man]

Saviors - such as Jesus - seemed to have experienced great pain and suffering - wounds inflicted and imprinted on their soul marker.

Questioner: How did Jesus learn this during his incarnation?
Ra: I am Ra. This entity learned the ability by a natural kind of remembering at a very young age. Unfortunately, this entity first discovered his ability to penetrate intelligent infinity by becoming the distortion you call “angry” at a playmate. This entity was touched by the entity known as Jesus and was fatally wounded.

I found it interesting that the article was congruent with the Ra Material in respect to Jesus. Killing someone would be pretty traumatizing.

I do not envy Wounded Healers, as I do not envy pain. Ugh.:@

In the Ra quote that you highlighted, I find this line intriguing - "This entity learned the ability by a natural kind of remembering at a very young age". Now, what is this 'natural kind of remembering'? So if there is a natural kind; are there then unnatural kinds?

Let us also take the case of the playmate that Jesus fatally wounded. Was there a mutual arrangement between the two entities before they incarnated on earth? In other words, was the killing itself a part of the programming between the two entities (i.e. Jesus and the playmate)? By all accounts, the entity that we now call Jesus appears to have been a fairly advanced entity in terms of the evolutionary scale. Thus I wonder whether the catalyst was planted deliberately at the astral level before it manifested on our plane? I guess we only have the questions now.

[fairyfarmgirl]

Jesus was a Human Being like all of us. He misjudged his strength.

The Christ is the Energy that Jesus Channeled and allowed to walk-in to him. That is why when he was crucified The Christ left and the Jesus returned. What a shock to be in such agony upon returning to your body!

The PTB at the time knew extreme pain would displace the Christ and return the Jesus to his body. It was an STS power play that ended the Return of Light for awhile and set the Planet up for a downfall that would be the Dark Ages following the fall of Rome. This is of course my take on it. Salt and all.

Hi fairyfarmgirl, I do not understand this.

Walk in... one soul leaves so another can come in and continue. Sometimes the Walkin just stays for a short time... other times the walkin stays for the duration of the body's lifetime. Just my salt.

Hey yes, I remember something like this that Ra said about Abraham Lincoln. How does it work by the way? I mean, how does say a higher density entity decide as to which entity it is going to displace on the earth plane. If these are dark areas, then let us NOT go there. But I remember Ra saying that Lincoln was a positive case. So any light would be welcome on this 'interesting' area.

[fairyfarmgirl]

It is by agreement. Usually because a Soul just can not take earth life anymore... and rather than destroy a perfectly good body that is capable of holding high levels of light... a walkin is requested at the soul level. This is not an easy way.... it is very challenging and takes a team of unseens to achieve.

Many awakened walkins liken it to having open heart surgery and then being thrown into running a marathon. This path is not for the weak hearted. It takes a great deal of courage and fortitude to be a walk in. The Walkin agrees to heal all karmic imprints and thus heal a timeline. When you heal yourSelf you heal all relationships through time and into the future. This is the main function of the walkin phenomena and one of the many factors that has allowed for such a profound shift in consciousness.

A way to see this shift is to watch movies from the 1980's and compare to the 1990's and finally movies of the same genre that are of the 21st Century. You will see a definate progression of spriritual light... and healing.

Possession on the other hand is not by implicit agreement. Possession is a violation of free will. Possession most often happens when a soul is impaired by alchohol and/or drug use or has become lost in the outer realms... traveling too much.

There does seem to be some disagreement over whether the Christ was a Walkin or if it was an Overshadowing of Soul.

Hi Confused,

Though I am clearly advanced along the path of spiritual evolution, I perceive myself still existing in the grip of an "original wound", as it were - a life-sized pain that always seems to be with me, sometimes dormant, sometimes trying to crush me into a singularity that would make the pre-Big Bang singularity look like Texas.

So I cannot relate personal experience of transcending/integrating/healing deep wounding with subsequent capacity to help others with similar affliction.

But I can see how experiencing certain distortions has helped me relate to and serve others with parallel distortions. For instance, I used to have such social anxiety that certain social situations were near crippling to me. While I have not yet developed James Bond-level confidence, I have "overcome" (I know, not a Ra-friendly word) much of that distortion. Now, when the organization which employs me hosts a function which attracts newcomers, I go out of my way to lighten the situation and create an atmosphere of comfort as much as possible for those other selves who may also be nervous. Sometimes I am even thanked for this.

In keeping with your idea of the wounded healer, I've always felt that if I could undo the root of all suffering - that is, the belief in or identification with the separate self - by awakening from this dream, I could inspire others to awaken themselves, first and foremost through radiance of being. Less importantly, through shaking them repeatedly and splashing cold water on their faces shouting, "Wake up! Wake up! You are not this body, are not this incarnation, and you are not the pizza guy! Oh, s***, wait a minute, you are the pizza guy. Sorry about that. Here is your tip and thank you for the speedy service."

Love/Light,
GLB

I have had the feeling that you highlighted very often at the core of my being. May be I should ask the universe as to whether I can become the target of a positive walk-in. I sometimes am very tired of this 'game' of infinite creation (at not only this level, i.e. 3d) that I would just like to dissolve back into the creator. But no one seems to be listening to that wish :-/

But I can see how experiencing certain distortions has helped me relate to and serve others with parallel distortions.

I think that is the key. We would call this feeling in secular terms as empathy.

GLB - why did the one infinite creator have to 'dream' with us as characters? I am tired and would like to go 'home' if the creator can unplug 'my' character off the dream :p

[fairyfarmgirl]

I have felt the same way at times, C. Sometimes I feel I may be a walkin as I went through a very confused time where many told me I was not from here (meaning Earth). I desperately wished to leave as well--- It is a gift to be a wounded healer for in doing so one learns to dissolve and heal energy stamps on the central column and thus heal whole timelines and all that is around them. It is a true gift to heal one's own woundedness.

It is a great Soul that is capable of doing such feats of courage. Not every soul is up to the challenge. Some wish to just be and instead are forced to do. This is where the challenge is balancing this need to be and the imposed obligation of do.

Anyways that is where I am at in this healing journey. That is my salt.

What did you mean by that fairyfarmgirl (FFG).

Is it possible to offer further explanation on the above statements?

Anyways that is where I am at in this healing journey. That is my salt.

I wish you well on the journey FFG. And your salt is worth much FFG, because "Ye are the salt of the earth..." (Matthew 5:13)

[fairyfarmgirl]

Thank you, C.

Energy stamps are energy that is imprinted in the DNA (the sins of the father visit upon the sons) and/or is imprinted in the energy matrix of the central column... the column that runs from the Crown to the Ground where we recieved all Energy from. The stamp or imprint pinches off the energy column like kinking a garden hose. This leads to emotional imbalances which then manifest as dis-ease... Find the Imprint heal the the "crimp or Stamp" and energy begins to flow more freely leading to healing in the body.

Now, not all dis-eases are due to energy imprinting or stamps... some are Energy Matrices that a soul decides upon when the body is being created... these Energy Matrices can only be mastered not dissolved and healed. This is why for some people they can cure their dis-ease through positive thinking and harmonious living and deep personal work and others nothing seems to work until they Master their Matrix.

With each reincarnation the Matrix changes as does the flavor of Mastery. But generational Energy Stamps that the Soul decides to integrate into the energy Column as stamps does not change from each embodiement until the stamp is dissolved the issue will remain.

Some Walkins come with the agreement to dissolve generational and genetic energy stamps in order to free entire groups from the sins of their fathers.

Anytime a Wounded Healer heals the Self they heal the all that is around them and connected to them. There was a Play written about this awhile back that illustrated this point succintly--- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_separation

In my own experience of healing the many energy stamps that I dissolved and healed, the rest of the world around me seemingly changed. No longer did anyone have to hold up "the end of thier agreement" to play the big meanie when the stamp was dissolved and healed. The energy frequency changed and hence the behavior of others changed as well...for some much to their astonished relief (boy I have been playing that role so long I have been type cast... Whew-- now on to better roles!)

That is my salt.

To Be or to Do... both are not you. That is how I see this. Sometimes life demands action even though all you want to do is lay upon the ground and ponder the nature of the butterfly that is circling your head. Or you wish to just stay home and do no thing and just be but in order to provide for the family you go to work at a job that is palatable but in no way aligned with your higher purpose.

It is like wanting to meditate with a screaming 3 year old pulling your hair because you are not playing smash the creation.

The challenge is then to find the balance between being and doing. Not an easy task in todays busy busy busy busy busy busy busy world. Even the act of reclining in ones backyard is busy... the car sounds from the freeway, the neighbors conversing uproarsly next door... the bus driver lady who is warming up the bus... the kids screaming in the pool (if they are your offspring attention is required)... all of this is busyness. It takes focus and fortitude to tune it all out--- and then there are the children that may or may not be your offspring... now that is something that requires continous doing. Being fully on task fully present and constantly scanning possible potentials for deadly mayhem. It is just exhausting to continuously be doing. Now being on the other hand is a space of sacred creation with focus and the all that is in the background melting into to the nothingness that it really is. This is a state of being. Not compatible with the doing required of being a parent. LOL

I LIVE for the Mornings that these lifeforms that seem to go everywhere I do sleep in and of course in the middle of the night when they are sound asleep.

It takes planning in this busy world in order to just be. Such a paradox.

To Be and to Do seem to be diametrically opposed to each other.

That is my salt

GLB - why did the one infinite creator have to 'dream' with us as characters? I am tired and would like to go 'home' if the creator can unplug 'my' character off the dream :p

I asked the Creator just that question.

After a pause, the response came, "What is this 'Creator' business? Ask yourself why you wanted to create the dream of many-ness."

To which I replied, "Umm, because I wanted to know myself?"

"Sounds reasonable," came the reply. "I suggest finding out who you truly are and then see if you have any further questions."

After which came the automated message"Try our two for one deal! Buy one three topping large pizza and the a second of equal or lesser value absolutely free!"

Then I hung up the phone.

(I think I have pizza on the brain tonight.)

Thanks for expressing that because I needed to read or hear that. It puts so much power back in the present moment. This is extremely difficult work in terms of the current catalysts that abound, but work that must be done nevertheless (I suppose).

Or you wish to just stay home and do no thing and just be but in order to provide for the family you go to work at a job that is palatable but in no way aligned with your higher purpose.

The above statements from you remind me strongly of the words that the Vedic figure of Sri Krishna spoke on the battlefield to a despondent warrior called Arjuna (who I think symbolises the archetype of the human spirit tired of the duality inherently present in the journey of evolution) in the holy scripture called the 'Bhagavad Gita' (or 'song celestial').

My experience of the archetype of the wounded healer was largely magnified through the below quoted words of Ra (session 82) -

The Creator does not properly create as much as It experiences Itself.

It sort of implied to me that even the creator may not have all the answers. When I observed stark pain the world, I used to take solace that may be there is a meaning or causation behind that situation. But the quote from Ra raises the possibility that some extreme pain could very well be arbitrary, and that thought violated the implicit trust that I had in the grand order of an intelligent universe.

It all exacerbated the wounds of 'violated trust' that I already felt towards my parents, particularly with respect to my father. My father's craving for alcohol almost destroyed my career and scattered my mental poise. The violation of trust is a gaping wound that I carry.

Alex Grey image 3 appeals to me. I did not know Alex Grey's work before you pointed it out. Thanks GLB.

But the quote from Ra raises the possibility that some extreme pain could very well be arbitrary, and that thought violated the implicit trust that I had in the grand order of an intelligent universe.

I believe I see what you mean. It can be devastating to think that the great swells of suffering that assail sentient beings is without greater meaning or purpose. But I have faith that suffering is instructive and that everything, in the end, serves a greater purpose. I've seen how in my own patterns how I have learned from pain.

I can see how the statement from Ra you quoted might undermine trust, but viewed from a different perspective, I think it is helpful in understanding where responsibility for suffering ultimately lies. The Creator endowed its seeming "parts" with the faculty of free will, a faculty which almost invariably is used, it seems, to unwittingly create that suffering.

It all exacerbated the wounds of 'violated trust' that I already felt towards my parents, particularly with respect to my father. My father's craving for alcohol almost destroyed my career and scattered my mental poise. The violation of trust is a gaping wound that I carry.

Then you may (or may not) take comfort in knowing where your work lies.

Back to ultimate responsibility, perhaps you desired this opportunity in order to learn some particular lesson or find some particular balance. In other words, it is likely that you desired this circumstance on some level. Not that I can know this, but per my understanding of the mechanics of spiritual evolution, it seems highly plausible.

My father, too, had a penchant for alcohol, though it doesn't seem to have been of the severity and with the consequence you describe in your own incarnation.

It will be a great day indeed when you can look into your father's eyes and, no matter the anger or rejection or drunken stupor therein, see the Creator and feel only unconditional love in the unity which binds you and he into Oneness.

In other words, it is likely that you desired this circumstance on some level. Not that I can know this, but per my understanding of the mechanics of spiritual evolution, it seems highly plausible.

I think so too dear GLB. I feel that the entity of my biological father and I have drawn each other into a knot of blood relationship in this incarnation. I am not white as snow as well in the relationship. In many instances, I have abused my father (and mercilessly terrorized my mother) and I feel disgust at myself for that. But the healing has to go on.

And in that healing, the following quote from a beautiful entity (who most probably is a wanderer) helps me in terms of co-creating my reality -

One of the (and perhaps one of the most important) roots that feeds negativity towards others is an unconscious refusal to take responsibility for your own creation within the moment. When we are in states of anger, jealousy, resentment, bitterness, envy, and so on – we are essentially blaming the other for how we feel, we are making them responsible for our own creation.

The most important lesson I have learned through the relationship with my father is to honor the free will of entities who might be in a 'lower' position of power within a given context. I henceforth will honor the free will of all entities, because I know how it feels like to have my free will violated while situated within a vulnerable condition. I now understand how my mother must have felt when I terrorized her through acts of wanton temper.

Salutation to the One in thee,
GLB

Yes, it was the shift that was the most important insight that you helped generate in the 'Trinity of Pain' thread. Sometimes, obsession with what is wrong can reduce the flow of vivid healing energies from many elements that are right.

These threads have been quite cathartic and have given me a sense of proportion in terms of not getting carried away with compulsive thoughts. All I can do is join forces with other entities that seek genuine healing for themselves, for the planet, and for the infinite creation as such.

[fairyfarmgirl]

C-- there is a system of healing that I have been studying for some time. Thought of you. Sent a Private Message.

Compulsions I am familar with. For a longtime I was compelled to avoid all food... for all kinds of crazy reasons that had no real basis... other then they were outward manifestations of Fear and its friend non-acceptance.

The way I overcame this was to simply shift the Fear out and fill that place within me with Love. I created collages to show myself my inner states and then I would create a collage to depict the highest vision I had for myself at that time. Each collage brought new understandings and greater opening to Love. When one is open to Love... Love really does rush in. Love is the Cosmic Energy that flows through us filling our systems with vitality and creativity and joy. Grounding that Love to the Earth is the next step. While I was making one of my many collages I had the amazing insight. Hugs build Love. Since I was alone and had no one to hug (and hugging myself seemed silly-- I know I tried) I decided to Hug the Great Mother and see what would happen. So I went outside and to the park and lay upon the Earth and gave the Earth a Hug. I can tell you... She hugs back. It was an amazing pulse of Love and Vitality that was sent back to me and into my Heart. This is a step toward Living By Way and Through the HEART. So, Have you Hugged Your Planet today?

Do the collages in any form resemble the Tarot spreads? I am quite ignorant about these areas. I am curious as to how you created the collages and how you interpret them. If they are deeply personal tools, may be you would not want to share.

So, Have you Hugged Your Planet today?

Not only today, but I think I am going to do it everyday. It is a statement to mother earth that I recognize the mutual dependence as we move into the season of the harvest. After all, earth requires healing too, after thousands of years of turmoil and pain. Thank you for the seemingly simple, yet profound suggestion.

Hey, the earth might make a great 'wounded healer' for many other planetary logoic entities
