Dewound Yourself

A 'payoff' is a benefit.

If you are older than 18 years and you still consider yourself to be 'wounded', then you are receiving a payoff.

If you are not aware about what your particular payoff is, or how the payoff mechanism works in your case, then your Gremlin is probably running your life, following the original imperatives of your Box's childhood Survival Strategy.

Having a payoff is not 'bad' or 'wrong', but it definitely has Consequences.

Primarily the Consequences are to keep your life and your Awareness restricted to what you already know about.

Something completely different from this is possible right now, if you Dewound Yourself.

Take this S.P.A.R.K. 202 to your next Possibility Team. Ask for

support from your Team to help you do this Experiment. It has six parts:

PART 1:

Stand up and ask someone from the Team to read through the above

series of questions to you even if you have read through them already before.

Answer each question out loud with a clear “Yes” or “No” so that everyone there can

hear you and can follow the process. Make sure the Reader leaves you plenty of time

to feel out loud so your answers come from your heart and not your mind, no matter

what needs to be felt. Tell the story behind each emotion as you feel it.

PART 2:

If you end up answering the: “Do you still feel wounded?” question with,

“Yes,” then do PART 3. If you say, “No,” then this process is over… and you better

stand ready to show with your life that you are woundless… unwounded.

PART 3:

The Reader asks you an additional question: “What is your Gremlin’s payoff

for holding onto your, “I have been wounded. I am a wounded person”, self-image for

this long? Please be clear and specific with examples and detailed stories to

demonstrate your Gremlin’s benefits.” You answer.

PART 4:

The Reader then asks you, “Do you want to change your self-image?” If you

say, “No, I don’t want to change my self-image,” this process is over. If you say, “Yes,

I do want to change my self-image,” the Reader says, “Why?” If you do not visibly

experience some emotions while you share your true wish to change your “I am a

wounded person” self-image, this process is over and incomplete.

PART 5:

If your sharing is authentic, then the Reader will ask,

• “What gifts has the wound given to you?” (e.g. attentiveness, Sword of Clarity)
• “What job has the wound done to cause you to learn new things?” (wakeup)
• “What have you learned?” (e.g. “I wound myself if I don’t make boundaries.”)
• “Who have you become through making use of the wound’s teachings?”

Clearly explain how the wound has transformed or initiated your Being into its own

extraordinary Adulthood and Archetypal presence, how new skills replace the wound.

PART 6: To finish the process, tell the people in your Team: “The wound has done

its job. I am changed. I let the wound of ________ fall off of my Being like a scab. I

am no longer a wounded person.” Tell your new story of what you are now without

the wound, and your new title (examples include: “I am a Possibilitator, a

Bridgebuilder, a Space Navigator, a Riftwalker, a Seed, a Space of Possibility,” etc.)

This is Part 2 of the Dewound Yourself Process.

The practice is to twist 3 Degrees away from your story of, "I am a wounded person", "They hurt me," "I am broken or handicapped."

To proceed, obtain or select a small potted plant. This is another living Being, a consciousness.

For 4 weeks, twice each day for 2 minutes, face the potted plant, directly connect with it from your consciousness to its consciuosness, and for the first minute, be your 'wounded person' character.

Then for the second minute, twist '3 degrees' away from your old story / framework / context, to a new story / framework / context in which you are not wounded.

It does not matter so much what the new story / framework / context is, simply that you are no longer 'a wounded person'.

The '3 degrees' is meant to be a slight change. It is not a 180 degrees turnabout, the opposite story. To do this practice you only need to shift enought degrees that you are out of the old self-imgae storywrold.

Then continue on in your ordinary life from the 3 degrees shifted orientation.

By doing this Practice, you have made an entirely new world for yourself, and you only had to shift 3 degrees away from your old 'normal'.
