Love-Lies-Bleeding
Themes: Personal evolution, transformation, transmutation of pain.
“I grow, learn and transform through my experiences. I am part of a bigger whole.”
Certain stages of personal evolution necessarily involve shifting from the over-personalization of one’s suffering to the ability to see a bigger picture – recognizing the deeper meanings of personal pain. Love-Lies-Bleeding is a sacred medicine that provides us with an aerial view of our adversities, teaching us that troubles are not simply our own, nor are they cause for despondent isolation. The spirit of Love-Lies-Bleeding offers an assimilation of the fact that our struggles are not slights from the Universe, but opportunities to contribute to the atonement of humanity and the healing of the Earth as a Divine whole.
