Why Does the Soul Come Here? Identity, Soul Agreements, Emotional Healing, Free Will, Forgiveness & the Journey from 3D to 5D Essay .008 | Emotional Soul Healing™ By Stefan D Sczyrba Who Am I Beneath Everything I Have Become? There comes a point in people's lives when a question rises from somewhere much deeper than the mind: Who am I when the things I once used to define myself are no longer there? Who am I beyond the career? Beyond the money generated? Beyond the titles, achievements, responsibilities, expectations, identities, and the many masks worn to demonstrate to ourselves—and sometimes to the world—that we are successful? It is a confronting question. It can also become one of the greatest invitations of our lifetime. When the identities we have attached ourselves to are emotionally released, an opportunity becomes available to finally meet the person underneath them. There is no judgment or blame required. There is simply awareness. And with awareness comes another question: What did I never properly deal with? What feeling from many years ago remains unresolved? What childhood experience, disappointment, hurt, sadness, fear, rejection, instability, criticism, or emotional experience was swept under the rug because, at the time, we did not have the awareness or capacity to deal with it? What did we become exceptionally skilled at achieving while simultaneously avoiding what was happening within? Was the success genuinely an expression of who we were? Or did some of the overachieving become a way of masking an earlier experience, saving face, meeting someone else's expectations, maintaining an identity, or distracting ourselves from an unresolved feeling? These are not questions of blame. They are questions of awareness. And for me, awareness became the doorway. Everything Begins With a Feeling Everything carries a feeling, emotion, vibration, and energy. An experience can happen within a matter of moments, yet the emotional imprint connected with that experience can influence years of choices, relationships, behaviours, beliefs, and identities.
