Ever wonder why some wounds itch while they heal? I mean, what the hell is the purpose?? Why cant this scrape, or cut, or scab just do its thing and heal, why must it bother me while it does? Wasnt receiving the wound, in and of itself, plenty of discomfort already? Evolutionary speaking, some scientists theorize that itchiness is a mechanism to draw our attention to the wound. SO THAT WE TAKE CARE OF IT. So that we keep it clean and assist the healing process. I was reminded of this when I read an article that blew my mind last night. Its about a different type of wound - our wounded SELF. That part of us that feels lacking, flawed, or incomplete. Take a second to look, its one of the things we ALL have in common. The title of the article (link below) is Why Were Attracted To People Who Are Wrong For Us. To summarize, its because our wounded self or little self is doing the attracting. This little self looks externally for something that will fix it, or complete it and make it whole and by that paradigm it will always continue to feel broken. What needs fixing must be broken right? Relationships in this context are always doomed to fail because they are built on the false pretenses that we are inherently flawed, and that some external thing or someone else has the responsibility to complete us. So why dont we just choose different partners? Why not just choose from our higher self instead of our wounded one? Because we find those people utterly BORING. Right? Well then what the hell are we supposed to do? Why on earth would we be attracted to people WRONG for us?! Am I just supposed to force myself to commit to a relationship with someone I find boring? That sounds doomed as well. What gives? What is the purpose of this? Heres the part of the article that shook me. Your unconscious is programmed to attract people who activate your wounds. The reason for this is so youll grow. *CLUNK* .... .... ....This makes perfect sense! Just like an itch draws attention to our physical wounds, our relationships draw attention to our internal ones. So as to heal. Sit with that for a moment...... Ill direct you now to the actual article which goes further into growing beyond this cycle of relationship and subsequently identifying more with our higher selves. Theres a question at the end of the article that Id like to invite us all to answer here on the BraveHeart page. Please leave a comment below telling us the qualities of your higher self and how you plan to be more connected to that part of you.
