RELEASE PAST TRAUMAS, HEAL, AND OVERCOME NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES
Hear Jesus Christ speak as he talks to you who are traumatized;
(Luke 4: 18 – 19)
- The spirit of the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
- To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
This profound message of hope promises comfort and freedom from despair. This passage also speaks directly to those mourning or feeling “captive” to their pain and traumas. God promises to replace their grief with beauty, joy, and praise.
With this promise from our Lord Jesus Christ let us go deep into this quote to understand more about traumas and how to heal exoterically using this Biblical understanding for emotional and spiritual restorations.
(MY QUOTE)
‘Do not be afraid of iteration, the world is full of it.
Your only fear should be the inability to iterate and leave the past traumas behind.’ — Philip Santus
THE MEANING:
This is a powerful meditation on resilience and growth. Let’s break it down section by section.
“Do not be afraid of iteration, the world is full of it.”
This opening line speaks to the fundamental role of repetition, cycles, and continuous improvement in life. In both nature and human experience, iteration is the essence of growth. Seasons change, people evolve, and experiences accumulate, giving individuals countless chances to refine their actions and beliefs. The phrase implies that iteration is not something to shy away from, as it is a natural and even essential part of progress and adaptation.
There’s an encouragement here to view iteration as a positive process. Life’s challenges, or even failures, can serve as opportunities to try again, with newfound knowledge. This line reassures us that the constant need to revisit, rework, and refine is not a sign of failure but of living in a dynamic, evolving world.
“Your only fear should be the inability to iterate…”
In this section, the focus shifts to the concept of stagnation or resistance to growth. Here, Santus suggests that the real obstacle is not the act of re-examining and revising our lives but, rather, a fear of being unable or unwilling to engage in this iterative process. When someone stops iterating, they halt their own growth and remain trapped in past versions of themselves. This line emphasizes that the true danger lies in losing the capacity to adapt and evolve.
In many ways, this part of the quote underscores the importance of resilience. The ability to iterate—whether through trial and error, self-reflection, or learning from others—becomes a kind of freedom, liberating us from the limitations of our past actions or beliefs.
“…and leave the past trauma behind.”
The quote concludes with a call to release past traumas, framing them as parts of a past that should not define the present or future. Here, Santus ties the concept of iteration to healing and overcoming negative experiences. While trauma can create limiting beliefs, the act of iteration allows individuals to reshape their responses and perspectives, ultimately leaving that trauma behind. This does not imply forgetting or dismissing past pains; instead, it encourages processing them, learning from them, and moving forward with the understanding gained.
Together, the quote speaks to an ideal of empowered resilience. It suggests that we shouldn’t fear the act of trying again or even “failing forward,” as the world is always changing, always offering another chance to learn. The only true setback, it seems to suggest, is remaining static, especially when past trauma prevents growth.
In conclusion, again Hear Jesus Christ speak as he talks to you who are traumatized;
(Luke 4: 18 – 19)
- The spirit of the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
- To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
