Insight from Living in Transformation Course

In module 2 Master speaks of the violence of non-acknowledgement that denies we are one.

I realize that I have been so disturbed by the image my family upholds of being a family and that we love each other, that I fail to acknowledge this is my family and they love.
Probably because the fight against upholding a lie validates my “I”, while acknowledgement does not.
There is a pressure within my family to behave and lie as though we acknowledge each other, when we have not.
My ego will say either they love me, so the harm was not real. Or, they harmed me, so the love was a lie.
In truth: they love, and they also act against love.
