Thanks for the "Good on ya's", I’m just grateful that an awareness of Spirit has been there through the worst of the trauma and recovery. There is always a sense that no matter how dark it gets, a light will shine through to lead me out. It sounds as if thecatsmeow has walked a similar path, as the description of leaving the body and things being revealed in layers resonates.

On another thread there was a discussion of possessing a body in order to experience physicality and a reference to a video interview with Christian Sundberg (author of "A Walk in the Physical: Understanding the Human Experience Within the Larger Spiritual Context"), who describes pre-birth experiences leading up to incarnation in a fascinating and detailed way. He talks about being inspired to enter the physical realm because of the essence of another being he met. That soul attributed the development of intense joy and power to having brought a specific intention to an incarnation that included a lot of suffering.
So maybe it’s the intention we bring to this life, even when we haven’t peeled the layer on that awareness yet, that determines how trauma unfolds and is transmuted? It’s a little hard to accept that I “chose” a life filled with this much pain, but on the other side of that pain there is a quality of experience I don’t believe I would be having otherwise. Perhaps I chose or agreed to this physical life as a path to something much greater. I keep saying to myself “don’t stop now, you don’t want to carry this into the next life.” I don’t exactly know what that means, but given the range of negative experiences and emotions that have been piled on and shed throughout this lifetime, I have to wonder if, for me, the experience of physicality has been to learn how to raise vibration even when plunged into a very dark place.
