trauma demons

Free translation from parts of the book Samarkand by Olga Kharitidi.
The Book is AMAZING! Read it!

... The source of all illness and misfortune is trauma. And all of us are carrier of alive incarnations of those traumas. In the tradition of Usbekistan they call this alive bits "demons of trauma".
If something has hurt you very bad and you havent been able to accept this trauma fully/totally as part of your own personal story, this happening will become a gap in your memory. And if this trauma is repeated or very deep, a demon will start living in this gap.
Darwins law says "survival of the fittest. So the demon run by this law. In order to survive and grow bigger and more horrible they need to eat. Their food is fear and mainly pain. To get their nutrition they will do anything to create new situations in which this pain and fear will appear again and again. Very often victims become the one harming another one, doing the same thing they have experienced them selves. Repeating itself, nourishing the demon who lives in this gap of memory.
Our genes are cells of memory. Some of those memory gaps taken by a demon are inherited over generations. They blurr our memories. Our memory isnt whole anymore. The gap becomes bigger and bigger and provides unconcsiously housing for growing demons.
To gain victory over those demons means complete healing. Very often our bodies try to battle with them by getting "sick".
One thing we fear most is not the unknown - its the known. Its those demons we know too well and push them away. its the death after the death we need to fear the most. In many cultures they speak about it. After you passed on you will need to pass 7 doors and meet the watcher over the treshholds, meet your worst fears and look them straight into the eyes and say " I know you".
To prepare yourself for this to meet our "second death" and be free and reborn, we need to practise in the now.
By completing our memory, we will not leave any space for the demons to live. we need to tell our stories and complete our gaps. Some demons have been passed on over generations... if they dont get healed they grow, connect themselves and become collectives.
In traditional cultures the "rites of passage" played a big part in society. Before entering a new phase in life you had to go through an initiaton ritual that resolved all trauma nodes from the past and released the way to the future.
In our modern societies we have lost those ceremonies. Our modern societies dont know any means to help their members to get rid of trauma. So thats why those demons became so big, huge collective demons and the may will be more dangerous as those ones who just started the world wars.
But there are ways to meet this challenge.
If you start healing your own sufferings you can start healing your own people.
Give space to hear stories. Whole stories. Listen....

(I really recommend to read this book. Just reading it makes you more complete already!)
