Facets of a Diamond - Blog

All my work as a healer is basically to do with the mother: reconciling the anguished sufferer – and that’s every one of us – with his mother as Love. For it is this, I believe, that underlies all human suffering.

Now the words heal and whole are derived from the same etymological root, and so are related in our unconscious. To heal is to help the sufferer feel whole. Not to make him whole but to help him realize that he is and has always been – and always will be.

Once he realizes this, he now Knows in his heart that part he always felt was missing: his mother’s ever constant love. Her love and therefore his own. With their love, at last he is whole.
