Healing and Becoming Whole
I have found that the parts of the self that can be triggered need to be addressed e.g. I have to love the bits of me that are being triggered.
Life will keep pressing my buttons because on some level I have asked for them to be pressed. The buttons represent unloved parts of the self.
The spiritual warrior usually welcomes a challenge to all aspects of any false identities that get triggered by the life experience.
I sense that ultimately enlightenment is the integration of a fragmented self which once unified can no longer be triggered. A bit like a completed jigsaw puzzle. An alienated piece will find itself alone, separate and unacknowledged.
The point where the personality becomes whole is the point that our awareness realises itself as pure consciousness beyond personality.
Realisation was not possible as long as consciousness was split into multiple parts.
