Sleepless Nights: When a Curse Becomes a Gift

And!
It also led to me waking up quite a bit during the night. This led to experientially connecting with a question that came up in a recent gathering:

On Healing the Divisions Within
Many spiritual teachings refer to the illusion of the separate self; the belief in being an isolated and deficient self seems to lie at the heart of our suffering. When we assume – or when life circumstances have led us to conclude – that we are unlovable, wrong, damaged or inferior, we are bound to suffer for as long as we continue to believe that assumption. Many of us know that suffering intimately, just as we know the relief that comes when we realize that we are not the person we have assumed ourselves to be.

Sequences of terrifying images played on screens and theatres were often decorated accordingly. There were even rumours of patrons being drugged.
