Brain & Wholeness

Peter Scazzero has pointed out that family patterns from the past are played out in one’s present relationships without the person necessarily being aware of it. When one’s own level of spirituality or emotional intelligence is low, their behaviors will reflect their family-of-origin issues, the spoken and unspoken rules handed to you at birth, your brain function, unidentified and/or unhealed woundedness¾all packaged in layers of behaviors passed on from biological ancestors. Wholeness begins with knowing who you are and what happened to you—and to your biological or adoptive ancestors, insofar as possible. It involves identifying traumas that stopped your emotional growth and kept you from maturing spiritually and emotionally—what you learn may be hard pills to swallow but maturing into high levels of spiritual and emotional growth begins with those pills.
