” We are dragged along by fate to that which we refuse to walk toward upright.”  Carl G. Jung.

I love this quote because I have found it to be so accurate: Spirit does indeed set up various situations and dramas  which challenge and stretch us  to become more than we believe ourselves to be.  In  other words, situations which force us, or require us, to expand beyond the limits of who we believe ourselves to be.   Before we are “dragged” into these situations  by fate, ( or Spirit, or our Soul)  however, we usually receive an invitation, a call, if you like, to step willingly outside of our comfort zone, into the new arena/environment. This call heralds the fact that Spirit  intends to provide us with the opportunity to bring about a further  psychological transformation,  or expansion of identity, within us.

In this article, I want  to concentrate on the lost sense  of innocence many of us have had taken away from us when we were children due to the  style of parenting we were subject to (ie. unconscious parenting.)   What was  ”given” to us in  place of our inborn sense of innocence, tragically, was a firm conviction in our intrinsic “badness”  or “wrongness.”  By re-claiming our lost innocence now,  however, we can begin clearing  up our personal family karma, and that of our parents and ancestors, so bringing to a halt the endless passing on of  “the  sins of the fathers” down through the generations. 

It’s important to understand that none of us are  born with the belief that we are bad, unworthy or wrong . As innocent children we all believe we are a delight - and so we are. Unhappily, many of us then  begin to  form the wrong idea about who we are and come to believe it is the  incontrovertible truth.
