There is a lot to unpack
in that statement.
Hating responsibility is quite possibly
the reason that you don’t heal.
Believing that a wound
is beyond your control
is the reason you don’t heal.
You may be hurt.
You may be abused.
You may be dehumanized and disabled.
But believing that you
have no control over letting it go
is entirely your fault.
Getting stabbed
may not be not your fault.
Continuing to bleed is.
The wound exists
because you let it exist.
So you can be the star
of a story that you don’t like.
Because
you refuse to take control
of your own imagination.
Believing that you can’t.

Exploring the Nuance of Healing
In the grand cosmic play, where we all exist as transient beings in an infinite expanse, the concept of healing takes on a myriad of forms and interpretations. The idea that one hates healing is a profound statement, laden with the weight of unexplored galaxies and uncharted whimsiworlds. To understand this, we must traverse the labyrinth of self-awareness, responsibility, and the intrinsic power of belief.
The Role of Responsibility in Healing
Healing, in its multifaceted brilliance, often demands a daunting level of responsibility. This responsibility is not just in the physical realm of seeking help or taking medicine, but in the more nebulous and challenging realm of mental and emotional accountability. The belief that we are not responsible for our own healing can be a significant barrier. It’s akin to standing at the edge of a mystical forest, knowing the path to the healing spring lies within, yet feeling anchored to the ground by chains of doubt and resignation.
The Impact of Perception on Wounds
Our wounds, be they physical, emotional, or spiritual, are deeply intertwined with our perceptions. To believe that a wound is beyond our control is to give it a power over us, transforming it into a voracious creature feeding on our essence. This belief in powerlessness is a labyrinth of our own making, a whimsiworld where shadows loom larger than life. The key to navigating this labyrinth is not just in acknowledging the wound but in understanding our role in its existence and perpetuation.
Control and Release in Healing
The juxtaposition of control and release is a delicate dance in the healing process. The acknowledgment that while some events are beyond our control, our reaction to them is not, is crucial. It’s like being the navigator of a starship in an unending cosmos; while we can’t control the stars, we can chart our course through them. The notion that continuing to bleed, metaphorically, is a choice, brings forth the idea that we have agency in our healing journey, even when it feels like we’re lost in a nebula of pain.
The Imagination’s Role in Healing
Our imagination is a powerful tool in our healing arsenal. It can create worlds of wonder and terror in equal measure. The refusal to take control of our imagination, to let it run wild with narratives of victimhood and helplessness, is akin to letting the starship drift aimlessly in space. Harnessing our imagination to reframe our narrative, to envision a journey of healing and empowerment, is a critical step in taking control of our healing process.
Belief as a Catalyst for Change
Belief is the spark that ignites the engines of change. The belief that we can’t heal, that we are eternally bound to our wounds, is a self-fulfilling prophecy. It’s like gazing at the stars and believing they are unreachable, thus never building the rocket to reach them. Shifting this belief, embracing the possibility that we can heal, is the first step in a journey of a thousand light-years.

Summary
We are exploring the intricate relationship between responsibility, perception, control, imagination, and belief in the context of healing. We recognize that taking responsibility for our healing is crucial, understanding that our perception shapes our reality, and that control over our reactions is key. Utilizing our imagination to reframe our narrative and believing in our ability to heal are pivotal in our journey towards wholeness.

“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” – Rumi
In a galaxy of thoughts, a nebula of pain,
We dance with shadows, in cosmic rain.
Starships of self, adrift in night,
Seeking the stars, the healing light.
In whimsiworlds, where dreams take flight,
We weave our stories, in the eternal night.
With rockets of belief, we break free,
From chains of doubt, we find the key.
Through the labyrinth of mind and soul,
We journey on, to make us whole.
In the play of cosmos, grand and vast,
We find our healing, in the stars at last.
We invite you to share your thoughts on this cosmic journey of healing.
