Quote by Andrea E Davis

“i thought healing would feel like forgetting like erasing your name from every corner of my mind there were days when your ghost sat beside me and i almost let it stay but healing is learning to live without inviting the past to the table”

“Jesus is not at war with mental health professionals. You can walk hand in hand with both Jesus and a therapist. In fact, you are doing the bravest thing of all by allowing someone in who can walk you through the hard things. We were never meant to go on this journey alone.”

“آیا اتاق من یک تابوت نبود؟ رخت خوابم سردتر از گور نبود؟ رخت خوابی که همیشه افتاده بود و مرا دعوت به خوابیدن می کرد ـ چند ین بار این فکر برایم آمده بود که در تابوت هستم ـ شب ها به نظرم اتاقم کوچک میشد و مرا فشار می داد، آیا در گور همین احساس را نمی کنند؟ آیا کسی از احساسات بعد از مرگ خبر دارد؟ اگر چه خون در بدن می ایستد و بعد از یک شبانه روز بعضی از اعضای بدن شروع به تجزیه شدن می کنند، ولی تا مدتی بعد از مرگ موی سر و ناخن می روید. آیا احساسات و فکر هم بعد از ایستادن قلب از بین می روند و یا تا مدتی باقی مانده خونی که در عروق کوچک هست زنده گی مبهمی دنبال می کنند؟ حس مرگ خودش ترس ناک است چه برسد به آن که حس بکنند که مرده اند! پیر های هستند که با لب خند می میرند، مثل این که خواب به خواب می روند و یا پیه سوزی که خاموش می شود. اما یک نفر جوان قوی که ناگهان می میرد و همه ی قوای بدنش تا مدتی بر ضد مرگ می جنگند آیا چه احساساتی خواهد کرد؟”

“Snake says to me, "You only have me as a reference point and I am your own energy!" I suddenly see that as I was growing up I was taught to take everything else as a reference point but never my own energy! Everything else had some value but never me! . . . Snake says "All the reference points you have learned in your life have now disappeared! Feel my energy as a part of the Universe. This part is always in contact with all the other parts of the universe, there is no separation!" I see that I have always been in touch with this part but that my awareness was glued to everything else but this. That was the separation! I ask snake what it needs from me and he replies he needs for me to love him. I immediately feel fear. I realize there was always fear of loving the snake, sometimes overwhelming fear. I see an inmense history of people being taught to fear the snake. I see the bible: there is a tremendous fear of loving the snake. But then I see that you can never love another person fully until you have loved your own snake, for everyone has a snake! "That is the separation. Your inability to love me!" I become fully aware that the snake that I had so feared had always been in the right side of my body! . . . Snake says, "Because people fear the snake instead of loving it, it get loose and is very destructive!" I then experience that there are in fact two snakes: one in my left side that is very fearful and the one in my right side that is very powerful. I realize that I have always identified with the snake on the left side and that I have been terrified of the snake on the right side. I then realize that the fear on the left side is also love! When it pulls back and retreats it is fear, but when it goes forward it is love. Both snakes rise up in me and meet deliberately face to face in the middle of my forehead. This powerful meeting vibrates throughout my body and it comes to full focus right in the center of my forehead. I recognize this animal! It is the Sisiutl from Mexican simbology: the single snake with two heads. It embraces the universe and comes back to meet itself face to face. I realize Sisiutl is both the symbol and the energy of wholeness... - Eligio Stephen Gallegos PhD, "Into Wholeness: The Path of Deep Imagery”
