Hi,
 
I've been gone a while.  Nice to see familiar names.
 
I wonder how a teacher/healer transcends aversion to suffering. 
It seems a vulnerable position to attempt to heal that which  
is content with pain.  There is a great danger of presumption, 
isn't there?
 
On the other hand, once I wanted more than anything to rid  
myself of the suffocation of shame and self-awareness to the  
point of not caring or my life.  I was naive and acting  
unconsciously.
 
What happened was dramatic.  I succeeded.  Only thing, it was 
like seeing everything from a new perspective and it felt as  
if an unborn child had been snatched from my womb.  Innocence  
of mind was thrown into a dissonance of intruding personalities.
 
I have always been aware of an intervention of sorts in my  
case.  Whether it was one who wanted to help me, or simply my  
desire to free myself from my cage, I'm struggling to come to 
terms with a sense of good intentions tainted by naivete.
 
Being cesarean-born amplifies these symbols for me.   
Snatched from the cage...  I might have died in there.  But  
part of me wanted a proper birth or none at all.  Kinda 
grim.  Kinda stubborn.  Very happy to be able to see myself 
now from more than the eyes of child, mother, doctor.
 
Matthew
 
Have any other cesarean-born out there seen this pattern  
emerge?
