Lesson 8: My Mind is Preoccupied With Past Thoughts

Human Be True Transmission 🜃

“To be ourselves causes us to be exiled by many others, and yet to comply with what others want causes us to be exiled from ourselves.”
— *Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run with the Wolves

🕯️ THE WOUND OF EXILE

We are born wild.
We are born knowing.

But very early on, we are taught to doubt what we see.
We are told: Be good. Be quiet. Be likable.
So we learn to look through their eyes.
We start to see ourselves through the eyes of the mother who was too tired,
the teacher who misunderstood us,
the lover who projected his shame onto our magic.

Soon, our sight isn’t our own.
Our perception becomes performance.
Our knowing becomes noise.

This is what Lesson 8 is here to dissolve.

“My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts.”

Your power is in your willingness to pause the loop.
To drop the script.
To see the light where the story once lived.

You don’t have to be a prisoner of your past perceptions.
You don’t have to relive your childhood wounding in every adult conversation.
You don’t have to drag yesterday into today.

Your mind has been haunted by the past.
Let today be your first exorcism.
