After the body is rebuilt and reality accepted, true healing begins. We move beyond survival into a state where the damaging portions of life become meaningless pieces of a beautiful existence.
Patients carry “vortexes” of pain that create two distinct barriers: internal anger towards the self and external anger towards others. These shields guard the soul but also imprison it.
The forty-day healing process stabilizes the mind and body so that the patient is strong enough to face these shields. The Path of Redemption is the process of dismantling them, layer by layer.
Healing requires looking both inward and outward.
Forgiveness is looking within. We guide the patient to identify the internal pain created by others—the abuse, the neglect, the abandonment.
By forgiving the person and the action, the patient releases the first shield of hatred guarding the soul. The anger dissolves because it is no longer fed by the memory.
Repentance is looking outside. The patient steps “outside” of themselves to see how their own pain caused them to harm others who did not deserve it.
By seeking forgiveness for their own actions, the patient acknowledges that their anger was self-created. This understanding shatters the last shield of anger.
“Pains, no matter how harsh, mean nothing because each is powerless compared to the eternal, unharmable life of the soul.”
This is the destination of the Will to Live program. The broken body becomes merely a vessel—a temporary resting place for an eternal power that cannot be cut, burned, or broken.
