Why Looking Within Is Too Hard for Most People
It means they have to take responsibility.
Only the most courageous of us choose to look within. Some of us do it to heal our trauma. Some of us do it to find a purpose here. Others are searching for answers to various ailments and karmic cycles. Only when you look within can you truly know the self, and that can change your life.
But when most people turn their awareness to the inner planes instead of the outer planes, what they find can be so hard to process that they have to look away and distract themselves immediately. It’s too difficult to face. It seems easier to keep going the way they’ve already been used to — on a broken path that’s familiar.
Reasons to Try to Look Within
There are some good reasons to embark on this journey. Looking within can heal trauma, help you embody your purpose, and it can also help you break harmful cycles. But it isn’t easy. It is literally the hardest thing you’ll ever learn to do.
Trauma consists of heavy energies that we carry that sometimes bubble up when triggered and haunt our lives if we aren’t mindful of them. So, it’s in our interest to try to look deeply at the past and what’s happened to us. But that can often be too painful for people to do.
