Therefore, from a place of fear and limited awareness, the obvious approach is to “revive” life as we once knew it. We can forget the fact that “how it was” wasn’t working very well and that things have, in fact, been crumbling into dysfunction and held up by false facades and manipulations of truth for a long time. To heal is to create wholeness.
