Let Me be Surrounded By The Minds Of Still Growing Women.

So that I too may keep growing.

Absence. This is the reason behind all psychic dismemberment. Insidious it spreads quietly, in the psychic minds of growing women. It finds a hidden place and sinks in there. Slowly over time, as more absences occur, these hidden places become full and are not so quiet anymore. They are now noticed by the psychic mind of the growing woman but by this time she may have already lost essential parts of herself.

This woman is experiencing a community, culturally driven dismemberment of her psychic mind. An active removal of her wild and sacred parts is occurring. A scraping out of her magic, her intelligence, her sensitivity and her wants and desires. Absences, are defined by moments in time, they are the experiences and peak events where being received by another person was absent. When another person chose in those alive moments with her, to step back and remove themselves from her connection of relational depth. In these moments this woman was denied autonomy, her core conditions for growth were not met. And this woman was unable to move forward, held hostage in a single capsule of time, psychically, emotionally and spiritually disabled.

Absence begins in the womb. If the absent mind of the pregnant mother is present. This kind of absence can become an ever growing twin, a glomeration of all of those moments of absence over time, a parallel companion through life of the growing women. This twin will be by her side through childhood, her adolescent years and through adult hood. Even for those of us who have thrived within nourishing relationships throughout life, there will still be some moments of absence that we can identify, because, we are women. And we are living through a time, emaciated of female wisdom from the chronic loss of the still growing women.

Women themselves have been dismembered so much so, that at times, they have become the very thing that altered them. Conditioned to do so, they were actively involved in the removal of other women's parts. Women, being taken apart piece by piece by other women has become a social norm. These women were unable to sustain their own growth processes, completely unsupported. Their psychic mindscapes, emotional spheres and spiritual dimensions were deprived of the essential nutrients for growth. The psychic minds of these growing women were dismantled so much that their whole psychic mind was rendered inert.

A women will also fight this dismemberment. Each part that is pulled from her she will pull back. A still growing woman will thrive again when she recognises what is missing from her. She will journey down those broken pathways of her life and understand the events of her dismemberment. She may begin by pulling back isolated lost parts or sweep in reclaiming whole stolen psychic-scapes of her being. Every piece will be met by her true and growing self, with deep understanding, empathy and unconditional self-love. And in those moments when she is finally met, authentically, at the contact boundary, by another person who sees her. When she is received, accepted and celebrated by them. She will go on to flourish in extraordinary ways and create wonderful things in her life. Her life force will be felt by all those who experience her, and go on to nourish other still growing women as they explore their own re-membering journey.

Still growing women can feel alone and sick at times in their growing journeys. Often they have had to raise themselves through having suffered a chronic loss of still growing women in their lives. They have had to engineer themselves and power their own movement forward. They have provided themselves with education, creativity and connections that are life affirming and fulfilling. And they have unfolded their powerful voices and asked for what they need and desire for themselves. The psychic minds of the sill growing women have not only awakened but are thriving. They are supported by the minds of other still growing women and feel the rejuvenating movement of change that is unfolding around them.

These women are us. We are our sisters, are psychic equals and our elders who would offer our experiences, stories and wisdom freely. From whom we can learn from and be guided by in times of need. Who, for us, provide sanctuary of the soul-scapes and fill us with strength for the journeys we much go on. We must continue to search for these minds that we desperately miss. Finding them, wrapping ourselves in their stories, surrounding ourselves with their humour and laughter, and learning from their remedies for life. We will become strengthened through their integrity, and they through ours. We will learn and grow and share together. And we will go into the wild places and have the psychic minds of still growing women to come home to.

Yours in the psychic caves,
