In this third and last episode of the series on baby souls with Lauren Dionysius, we connect with the soul of a child who has chosen to incarnate in an abusive home.
This episode was both incredibly hard to record, but also perhaps the most deeply touching of the series. It reveals how the child who came to talk to us knew exactly what they were signing up for, their resistance to coming into that life scenario and the reasons why they chose that life experience. This episode can also be used to make some sense of why souls might choose to incarnate in a location torn with conflict, as in a war zone.
This episode has been recorded to help people who have experienced abuse or trauma in their childhood and professionals who work with such children, or adults who have had these childhood experiences. It is not meant to sugar coat the reality of these situations, but it might soften the edges for people who are in contact with this topic, by helping separate the human experience from the soul experience.
Lauren beautifully explains that it is not possible to make peace with the experience of child abuse on a human level. And one of the reasons is that if we did, we would become complicit with it. It is not even desirable. This does not in any way moves us away from the notion of right and wrong. There is no compromise here. Abuse is wrong. Child abuse is wrong.
But personally, having been able to see the soul purpose of my childhood experiences has really brought me a level of peace and deep healing that I was never able to access before that. And I am hoping that this episode is going to be able to support those who are ready to access that level of understanding of child abuse to see it from a bigger perspective.
We do not advise that you listen to this at the early stages of your healing journey as there might be a tendency to bypass the healing process by finding a meaning too early in the process.
For those souls who choose these incredibly hard experiences, there is often a bigger purpose. But there is also so much learning on a personal level. There is an opportunity to rise from the experience, but there is no blame for the individuals who are not able to. Sometimes there is a more collective goal of making these experiences known to the bigger public. It brings the darkness of humanity into the light.
The biggest takeaway he has for us is to believe children who share their experiences and validate it, whilst obviously, calling in support for them. It is also very important for us to understand that the upset we feel at what with witness must not be shared with the person going through the abuse or trauma. We need to find people who are not involved in it, to support us. There is a theory called the Ring Theory that goes more in depth about this.
