The Wounder Healer Archetype

[Confused]

So, Confused, in what ways have you experienced the archetype of the "wounded healer"?

By the way, have you ever seen the visionary artwork of Alex Grey? Check out his "Journey of the Wounded Healer"

I resonate with the middle image, for sure.

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.
