Dear Peter:

Thank you for taking the time to share this with me. The heart of the message you quoted is that even when someone lacked nurturing, love, or emotional stability from a mother figure, they can still thrive and heal. The soul is resilient, capable of surviving and even flourishing despite hardship.

This idea connects closely to something you wrote in another thread about The Dispossessed: “‘We suffer not enough’… to take the leap of Transformation or is that Transcendence”.

From what I’m gathering, suffering can be transformative, leading to connection and purpose. It is not merely an obstacle but a passage toward deeper meaning.

Transcendence, however, is not about suppressing suffering or pretending it doesn’t exist. It is about recognizing it, accepting it, and then stepping beyond its emotional weight.

Pain may not disappear, but it can be redefined—it can serve a greater function rather than being seen as mere hardship. Transcendence happens when suffering is no longer something to endure but rather a doorway to wisdom and a fuller experience of life.

I welcome this shift in perspective wholeheartedly. Thank you, Peter, for sharing and guiding this reflection.
