The Same Chair
Jul 19, 2026
Almost twenty years ago, I found myself torn to pieces. Back then, there was a song that often played on the radio — Big Girls Don’t Cry. Oh, I wish you could have seen how broken I was. So broken that my ego-mind cracked open to reveal the Right Mind of revelation. I simply could not withstand the punishment I was moving through.
When the mind breaks open
The spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle sees intense psychological suffering as one of the greatest catalysts for spiritual awakening. He explains that extreme hardship shatters the egoic mind, forcing a breaking point — where a person either descends into deep despair, or transcends their conditioned thinking to discover a profound inner presence.
That is exactly what happened to me. And awaken I did. What a blessing that burden became.
I was either going to die beneath the weight of the shadows, or I was going to awaken.
The same chair, two decades on
Quite ironically, I now find myself sitting in the same chair, at the same table, where I sat two decades ago. Only now, I have been rebuilt. Time has carried me back to this place to take care of another. And so I continue to build The Treasure Map — the one that will one day change the world. I have seen the shifts she has already made in me. Absolutely miraculous.
The song came back
Just now, that same song — Big Girls Don’t Cry — came back on the radio. I hadn’t heard it in years. I wish I could reach back through time to that heartbroken girl, that shattered mess, and let her know just how complete she was going to become.
If only she could have seen how whole she was always going to be.
It was never meant to be easy
The road would not be easy. It would be hard. But as God once told me, my life was never meant to be easy — otherwise I would grow bored. Such a true statement. And yet I am happy to rest in the peace of God. That could never be boring.
Much love, peace and Truforgiveness,
Begin The Healing
