This week Kevin and Niseema follow up last week's conversation about the nine personality types, and how they protect against some type of inner wound. As we have been discussing, loneliness can be such a wound.
The story of Achilles is appropriate. Achilles' mother heard a prophecy that her son would be killed at a young age. So she did what any mother would, she dipped him in the River Styx to give him immortality. He grew up strong and beautiful, creating all kinds of havoc believing he was invulnerable. Little did he know he had a spot on his body that didn't get covered in the water. It was this unseen wound, this unseen and unknown part of himself, that ultimately caused his demise.
Do you have an Achilles heel? Does loneliness, which we have been discussing or something else, make you feel vulnerable? This "vulnerability" might actually be your path to a deep sense of inner liberation and freedom.
Kevin and Niseema talk about a wound that maybe others see in you but you don't. In exploring and getting to know your wound, you have the opportunity to have a deep compassion for yourself, and a deeper ability to connect to others.
