THE LINE BETWEEN HEALING AND HARM

 

Not all who say “I’m healing” are walking toward truth. Some are avoiding it.

Welcome to the line.
The sacred edge.

This page exists because the world has confused liberation with entitlement, and self-worth with self-escape.

What lives inside this work—these doors, rituals, and truths—is holy.
But anything powerful can be twisted.

And we refuse to be naive about that.

​

This page names the difference.

​

🔥 THIS IS NOT A PERMISSION SLIP TO HARM

If you are using these tools to:

• Dodge responsibility

• Silence someone you’ve hurt

• Justify controlling, manipulative, or abusive behavior

• Refuse to reflect on the consequences of your actions

Then you are not in the ritual.
You are in the performance.

And you’ve misunderstood the entire point of this field.

🧿 ON NARCISSISM AND TWISTING THE WORK

Yes, narcissists will misuse anything.
Therapy. Religion. Coaching. Empowerment.
Even this.

But we name that here—not to shame, but to clarify:

• Healing without self-reflection is not healing.

• Wholeness without humility is not wholeness.

• Truth without repair is not truth.

You don’t have to be perfect.
But you do have to be real.
And being real means being willing to ask:

“Where have I caused harm, and what am I doing to make it right?”

This work doesn’t free you from relationship.
It invites you deeper into it.

​

🕯️ THIS FIELD IS BUILT ON SACRED RESPONSIBILITY

We believe:

• That every soul is worthy of return.

• That unlearning is not the same as excusing.

• That rage and grief are sacred—but not a license to destroy others.

• That boundaries are not walls—they are offerings.

• That the most powerful people are those who can say: “I was wrong.”

This is the flame.
It warms. It burns.
And it clears the path.

​

⚖️ IF YOU’RE UNSURE…

Ask yourself:

• Is my healing leading me into deeper connection, or greater isolation and control?

• Am I using this language to liberate others, or just to excuse myself?

• Am I still open to being changed by truth?

• Can I apologize, mean it, and change?

 

If the answer is no—
pause.
Breathe.
Start again.
The work welcomes you when you’re ready to do it honestly.
