The healing balm of Self Recognition

In this dialogue we bring to explicit consciousness the experience of being known to exist. By whom are we constantly being known to exist? We are being known to exist by our Self, Always and Everywhere.
Yet we forget. The overwhelming conditioning that we receive as children takes root, and we begin to forget that we exist as a sweetness, a smoothness, an evenness that in it vert being is the Joy and the Liberation.
The punishment of being denied to exist by our elders is so frightening that we soon learn to punish ourselves. We let our nervous system take over the job of attending to our humanity But only we as Consciousness can do that so we end up living in constant punishment.
We vacate our faces and allow them to be masked by an impostor. This impostor is not evil; it is our biology doing its best to help us carry on living. In our world this takes the form of doing things in order to have things. But this is the law for other animal kingdoms who also manage to BE.
We forget to BE what we already ARE. This forgetting involves severe punishment of our essential nature, the nectar of existing between Heaven and Earth. But we continue to be our essence, which is ready to BE at any second. I must simply take the opportunity to inhabit my face, to allow myself truly to feel exactly as I do and this simply movement, extinguish all previous punishments with the balm of the pre-existing presence that I AM.
In this dialogue, Federico and the Questioner explore the lasting impact of childhood experiences on self-perception and the challenge of being authentically seen. They bring to light the profound truth that we are constantly known to exist by our Self, always and everywhere. However, due to overwhelming childhood conditioning and the fear of judgment, we often forget this intrinsic sweetness and joy. This rejection leads to a cycle of self-punishment and the masking of our true selves, perpetuating self-doubt.
The conversation emphasizes the healing power of mutual recognition and loving acknowledgment. By openly addressing these wounds and affirming our original being-essence, we can extinguish past punishments and embrace our pre-existing presence. Federico highlights the importance of remembering and nurturing our inherent goodness, even amidst life's challenges. This movement towards wholeness involves inhabiting our true selves, allowing us to rediscover our essential nature and live with greater authenticity and liberation.
