A time in the ashes: How grief can liberate us from our life script and our culture of separation

Carl R Nassar

Abstract


This article sheds light on how humanity fell into today’s collective sorrows, falling from a time of great hospitality into a culture of great separation. It explains how this cultural fall plays an integral role in the inner fragmentation we each experience early in life, when each of us break apart into adult, child, and parent ego states; and it explains how this takes each of us far away from our natural relational self and into an individual and collective life script. Most importantly, it explores how embracing the grief of where we are, within ourselves and within our culture, comes with the remarkable power of liberating us from these scripts and bringing us home to each other. But, to arrive here, we must each endure a time in the ashes.
