The Human Between the Absurdity of the World and the Lost Soul
# The Human Between the Absurdity of the World and the Lost Soul
## Life as a Gift, a Talent, and a Forgotten Skill
Life, in its absolute truth, is a gift from the Creator and from parents who were its very first teachers. At the same time, it is an art mastered by only a few—a talent that needs to be truly lived and perfected. In societies that strive for awareness and growth, life is taught as a skill from childhood. It is treated like music that an individual practices to play in harmony with themselves and the world. It is taught as a language woven from lessons of love—in all its forms and paths—forgiveness, and the art of dealing with both the self and the other.
In societies that know how to light the candles of awareness, life is treated as a skill a child gradually refines within an environment that nourishes their soul, encourages them to dream, and teaches them how to *live*, not just how to *survive*.
Conversely, in societies that have lost their compass and lack awareness, creativity is crushed in its cradle, and the candles of learning are snuffed out before they are ever lit. There, lights are extinguished before they can glow, and wings are broken before they can test the sky. Windows are slammed shut in the face of small dreams. Consequently, the human being grows up unable to "live life," but merely "surviving it." The human transforms into a gear stuck in a rigid machine called "making a living" rather than "living," or into a prisoner pacing in closed circles called "coexistence." It is akin to entering a labyrinth without a map, where "hope" itself is in the intensive care unit—yet, despite everything, it remains alive, waiting for someone to see it beneath all this rubble.
Humans in these circles do not live their time; rather, their souls are ground within it like crumbs of spoiled wheat, later tossed onto the roadsides. As the German philosopher Erich Fromm aptly described:
> "Modern humans have lost the capacity to *be*, and have been domesticated to only *have*."
>
In these environments, life becomes a pale echo of what it should have been; a gray shadow on the walls of days that have lost their color, light, and feeling. Generations arise without realizing what it means to be themselves. Instead, they inherit fragile, distorted models of life. This aligns with a 2016 Harvard University study on the intergenerational impact of social trauma, which demonstrated how environments saturated with fear and a lack of emotional security produce generations that carry trauma within their psychological and physical structures.
From the perspective of bioenergetics, researcher Judith Orloff explains in her book *Emotional Freedom* (and her work on energetic self-defense) how repressed energy accumulates within the psyche and mutates into defensive behavioral patterns. These patterns recycle pain and keep the individual hostage to trauma.
Furthermore, as psychiatrist Viktor Frankl describes in his seminal book *The Human Search for Meaning*, when faced with living without awareness, the human being transforms into a creature suffering from an "existential vacuum," finding no meaning in life other than survival at any cost.
Yet, the question remains: Can this light be revived? And can this lost skill be taught, right here in the midst of this rubble?
## The Cycle That Recycles Pain
When living is reduced to mere "survival," the human being becomes a captive to closed cycles of pain inherited across generations. As research in intergenerational trauma indicates, trauma does not die; it is transmitted through behaviors, emotions, and even the programming of the offspring's nervous system. In studies recognized by the American Psychological Association (APA), it has been found that children who grow up in environments lacking emotional or physical safety later exhibit trauma responses identical to the original traumas experienced by their parents.
Without knowing it, these children carry a mixture of suppressed fear, anger, and sorrow within them. This manifests in their choices, their relationships, and even the way they manage the mundane details of their daily lives.
From an energetic standpoint, the vibrations radiating from this "trapped pain" attract similar experiences. As Reiki and energy healing sciences suggest, when the human aura is filled with the energies of trauma and fear, it acts as a mirror that reflects the exact same type of people and situations back to the individual, until they awaken and begin to heal.
Here, life begins to resemble a closed labyrinth: an environment that inflicts pain, parents who pass it down, children who recycle it, and a society that becomes a mixture of stagnant energies and open wounds.
Yet, in the midst of this grim landscape, a faint beam of light always appears... from somewhere, from someone who decided to stop, to repair themselves, and to relearn life—as if it were a language that hadn't been spoken for centuries.
## The Soul
In the heart of every soul lies an innate longing for light, freedom, and unconditional love. But when this soul is planted in an environment polluted by pain and distortion, what the mystics call the "captivity of light" occurs. The soul becomes shackled in hidden loops of exploitation that do not stop at the boundaries of the body or the mind, but extend to the deepest point within.
Jungian psychology explains that humans carry within their subconscious what is called the "Shadow"—an accumulation of unaddressed or unhealed emotions and patterns. In societies that raise their children on pain and denial, this shadow becomes like a black box where the luminous side of the soul is imprisoned, keeping humans a slave to the cycle of pain.
The result? The exact same loops repeat: exploitation, repetition, closed circles. The latent light within humans is exploited to turn them into tools that serve a dysfunctional system that perpetuates pain. Children become fuel for roles they did not choose, mothers become carriers of stories their souls never healed from, and fathers become executors of an inheritance heavy upon their hearts.
Between the lines hide deeper spiritual circles; matrices of exploitation that keep humans stuck, making the search for light both an internal and external battle.
But the soul does not die, even if it is imprisoned. Beneath the ashes, remnants of a warm fire still linger, waiting for someone to discover them and breathe life back into them.
## The Shackles of Words and the Mindlessness of Intentions
In societies where humans feed on anxiety and distortion, pain is not merely practiced by individuals; it is institutionalized by a discourse from influential figures who legitimize it. They cloak it in various garments—such as sanctity, rationality, or a superficial, draining semblance of love that actually feeds a paralyzing fear.
In its origin, fear exists to alert humans to danger so they can move. However, there is another kind of fear devised by the dark side of the human psyche and inherited by humanity: *the paralyzing, fatal fear*.
Discourse is one of the most potent tools that reproduces these painful cycles generation after generation. When it is reduced to dogmatic texts that strip humans of their humanity and feed the darkness of their soul, used to cement fear instead of love, messages turn into whips that lash hearts. Instead of being a sanctuary for the wounded soul, it becomes an additional shackle that chokes the search for self, reframing pain as a duty or an inevitable destiny.
Deadly words are constantly repeated, acting like a prompter reciting the same old incantations:
* *"Endure... this is life."*
* *"Everyone is suffering, why are you any different?"*
* *"Don't be so sensitive."*
These phrases are practiced like daily rituals, instilling in the individual the belief that their suffering is nothing but a natural part of existence that they have no right to escape.
The danger is that this is not always presented with bad intentions. In many cases, it stems from lost hearts just searching for survival. Yet, despite this, it replants fear, confuses the compass, and drives many to accept a pale life, rife with procrastination and filled with invisible complexes.
In this atmosphere, ignorance and fear conspire to produce human beings who suppress their souls, living at less than half their capacity. They look to the sky not searching for light, but out of dread of punishment, a curse, or a mercy they do not grant to themselves, let alone to others—even those closest to them.
## When the Soul is Shaped Under the Weight of Fear
Identity is not just a set of ideas a person adopts about themselves; it is a delicate tapestry woven from emotions, experiences, and the energy that has accompanied them since childhood. When negative words shape a person’s awareness, their inner voice often becomes an echo of this destructive discourse.
Thus, a child grows up feeling that their essence is "deficient," or that they must suppress their desire for life, or flagellate themselves just to be "good" in the eyes of society or a deity depicted more as a punisher than a merciful, loving force. He is a Master, yes, but also the spiritual source of every soul—for from His spirit, every soul breathing in a creature was born. His imprint (the point of light within every soul) guides humans and supports them to grow toward the light. Yet, due to misguided concepts and darkened perceptions, darkness grows within the psyche to consume it if given the chance. Here, the individual becomes their own jailer, consciously or unconsciously rebuilding the prison walls inside their own heart and mind.
This violent shaping of identity plants distorted vibrations into the human energetic field, attracting choices that recreate the same old patterns: a job where they feel worthless, relationships ruled by control or dependency, and situations that refuel feelings of helplessness and alienation.
The soul that was born free finds itself shackled. Not because of a sin it committed, but because the messages it received since its tenderest years indoctrinated it to believe that survival lies in silence, success lies in "bearing pain," and love is always conditional upon compliance and sacrifice.
However, when a person begins to dismantle this identity and scrutinize the words that molded their awareness, the journey back to the true self begins. It is not an easy path, but it is capable of liberating the trapped energy within and opening the door to entirely new possibilities of existence.
## Returning to the Essence.. The Ultimate Journey
Between a barren environment, parents burdened with scars, a society that consumes its children, and a discourse that prosecutes and weighs heavily on the human spirit, generations have emerged searching for a lost meaning of life.
A fractured environment creates a fragile human being raised to believe life is a battlefield rather than an orchard. Consequently, creativity is lost, and the human turns into a gear in the machine of "making a living," failing to actually live. Parents who lived in fear recycle that confusion into their children, creating an endless cycle of reproducing pain. Identity becomes distorted, the soul's energy becomes chaotic, and the mind becomes a captive, indifferent to growth and liberation.
Yet, amidst all of this, a seed remains within humans—deep, buried, and immortal: their essence, which knows, in its depths, that life was created for growth, love, creativity, and free soaring—not for servitude or blind compliance.
Returning to the essence is not a luxury; it is a vital step for healing and liberation. It is the realization that life is a skill that can be developed, that relationships are built on partnership, not restriction, and that true awareness springs from love, not fear.
When we return to our essence, we begin to dismantle toxic discourses and suffocating environments. We free ourselves from the repetitive patterns that recreate the same wounds across generations. It is the moment of acknowledging that the past has happened, but it does not define the future; rather, it gives us an opportunity to choose anew.
Your soul chose this experience to learn, to heal, to break the shackles, and to co-create a reality that harmonizes with its original truth.
This exercise is an invitation to return to the essence, to search for your true self, and to liberate yourself from the weights that no longer serve you.
## Steps to Liberation
The liberation of the self from pain and misguided concepts requires deep self-awareness, an openness to change, and a willingness to let go of internal obstacles. Here are the core pillars:
1. **Recognizing the Source of Pain and Misguided Concepts**
* *Analyzing the roots of pain:* Is it due to past experiences, traumas, or concepts planted in you since childhood?
* *Reviewing beliefs:* Are you living according to your own thoughts, or according to what others have imposed on you?
2. **Reconnecting with the True Essence of the Self**
* Returning to what makes you *you*: your values, your dreams, and your authenticity, far removed from societal conditioning.
* Shedding social molds that do not align with your truth.
3. **Breaking Free from the Victim Role**
* Realizing that you are not a prisoner of the past, but fully capable of reshaping your life.
* Letting go of blaming others or circumstances, and looking for solutions instead of clinging to the problem.
4. **Facing Emotions Instead of Repressing Them**
* Acknowledging pain and expressing it without fear.
* Allowing yourself to grieve and feel anger, but without becoming a hostage to them.
5. **Replacing Limiting Beliefs with Expansive Perspectives**
* Exploring other angles of truth instead of clinging to a single viewpoint.
* Opening up to new experiences and leaving room for learning and evolution.
6. **Releasing Excessive Attachment**
* Liberating yourself from the perpetual need for validation or acceptance from others.
* Letting go of attachment to things that cause pain, whether they are people or unrealistic expectations.
7. **Achieving a Balance Between Giving and Receiving**
* Learning to say "no" when necessary, without feeling guilty.
* Understanding that self-care is not selfishness; it is a necessity to preserve inner peace.
8. **Listening to the True Self**
* Practicing meditation, journaling, or any means that helps you hear your inner voice away from external noise.
* Seeking harmony between your mind, soul, and body.
9. **Embracing Change and Flowing with Life**
* Realizing that absolute permanence is an illusion, and that change is an essential part of life.
* Accepting that some things will end, and some doors must close so that new ones can open.
10. **Realizing that Inner Peace Does Not Depend on Circumstances**
* Learning to find serenity within yourself instead of waiting for it to come from the outside.
* Refusing to tie your happiness to people, achievements, or material possessions, but rather to your sense of self-contentment.
11. **Trusting the Journey Instead of Chasing Perfection**
* Not waiting for the perfect moment to start liberating yourself, but working on it right now.
* Understanding that every experience, whether painful or joyful, carries a lesson that expands your awareness.
## An Exercise for Self-Liberation
* **Objective:** To confront deep-seated thoughts, release limiting concepts, and reconnect with the essence of your being.
### The Steps:
1. **Writing a Letter to the Self:**
* Sit in a quiet place with a pen and a piece of paper.
* Begin your letter with: *"To my true self, I want to tell you..."*
* Write freely about the things you feel are weighing heavily on your soul, whether they are suppressed emotions or concepts planted in you that you no longer believe.
* Do not judge yourself while writing; just let the words flow.
2. **Identifying Concepts to Liberate Yourself From:**
* Draw a line down the middle of the paper.
* *In the first column,* write down the beliefs or thoughts that restrict you (e.g., *"I am not good enough," "I must please everyone," "I cannot change my destiny"*).
* *In the second column,* rephrase each thought in a more liberating, positive way (e.g., *"I deserve appreciation just as I am," "My opinion matters too," "I am capable of changing my life"*).
3. **Releasing Pain and Excessive Attachment:**
* Write about a thing, a person, or an experience that you feel causes you pain or keeps you stuck in the past.
* Describe how you feel about it, then answer the following questions:
* *What did this experience teach me?*
* *How will I choose to view it in a way that gives me strength instead of pain?*
* *What is the very first step I can take to free myself from it?*
4. **Tearing or Burning the Paper (Optional):**
* After finishing, read what you wrote out loud, then decide: Do you want to keep it as a reminder to yourself, or tear it up as a symbol of liberation?
* If you decide to destroy it, do so with the conscious awareness that you are leaving this burden behind you.
5. **Writing a Pledge to Yourself:**
* At the end of the exercise, write:
> *"I pledge to be honest with myself, to break free from the shackles that do not represent my truth, and to live according to my essence, not according to what is imposed upon me."*
>
* Sign your name as confirmation of your commitment to this vow.
*Repeat this exercise whenever you feel the need to restore balance within yourself.*
In the end, liberation is not a destination you arrive at, but a continuous journey of returning to your true self.
