Breaking the Illusion of Trauma. (1 min 41 sec)

We resist the lesson that love offers — the one we asked for. By identifying with trauma, we block the chance to move forward. When we 
realize trauma is just our refusal to accept the lesson, the illusion starts to dissolve. A shift in our perception, and the victimhood fades. The power we thought trauma had over us vanishes and the truth we've been avoiding is revealed. It's not the trauma itself, but our resistance to love's lesson that keeps us stuck.

By identifying with trauma, we block the opportunity to learn the very lesson that sets us free. When we see trauma as a mask, it keeps us from recognizing it as an invitation to something greater. The resistance to this lesson creates the illusion of trauma’s power. As we shift our perspective the trauma dissolves. We take back our power, realizing the victimhood was never real — only a disguise we chose.

This is a lesson that love would have us learn because love shows us that trauma is self-imposed — a reflection of our resistance to the truth. Love invites us to stop identifying with the pain, to stop creating stories of victimhood, and to stop holding onto suffering. Love’s lesson is simple: we are not the trauma, and by letting go of it, we recognize our inherent wholeness. When we learn this, we stop traumatizing ourselves and others, because we've embraced the truth that only love is real, and the rest is a mental construct we can choose to release.

The trauma we cling to is just another mask, like a bad costume at a party we no longer need to attend. Love’s lesson? We don't have to keep wearing it. We asked for this lesson so we could finally stop traumatizing ourselves. But here's the thing — we already know the truth. We’ve always known. It's just a matter of finally seeing it for what it is: an illusion that we can drop whenever we're ready. 

The question is, are you ready now?
