Primordial Man and Trust

Life has taken primordial man through many trials and tribulations, leaving him with plenty of valid reasons to be angry, resentful and untrusting.  The only benefit he could find was pain ... and more pain.  But must we allow the pain to cut us off from our hearts?  No.  Can we take those feelings and turn them into our "guiding light?"  Absolutely, yes we can.

We can honor and acknowledge those feelings, and extract the positive out of each experience, thus transforming them into trust, unconditional forgiveness and acceptance.

However, trust requires that we surrender our desire to control things.  In the past, primordial man thought that by controlling things he could be safe.  When he surrendered control, he could begin to trust God and other people.  Trust in God means he is capable of trusting his family, or people he doesn't even know.  When he trusts in others, he is not only trusting in them, but also in their divinity.  Therefore, he is trusting in his God.

Who is Primordial Man?

We each have a primordial man and he is not a bad guy.  He's just a guy who is underdeveloped.  Primordial man is driven by his instincts, rather than his heart.  These are the instincts that he was born with, and that were further developed during life situations.  However, these instincts no longer serve him.  Primordial man wants to do things his way, because that is the only way he knows.  Doing things his way has worked for him most of his life.  It's important to acknowledge that it is a good thing to have our primordial feelings.  At times, these feelings serve a very useful purpose by acting as a barometer for what we don't want.  Denying these feelings only empower them to pop up in our lives in other, potentially harmful, ways.

Don’t React. Reconnect.

I am Michael Hoare.  For 18 years, I have worked to help people address and resolve issues related to death, unhealthy relationships, addictions of all kinds, physical, mental and emotional abuse and incest.  I have lived through these issues firsthand.  It has taken me years to come to terms with the negative experiences in my own life, and my passion now is to help others who are similarly wounded work through their issues by relying on the principle of Ah-Man. 

Who among us has not experienced some level of trauma or pain?  The real key is not how much we were impacted by the trauma, but how we handled the situation and ourselves.  Did we blame God, self or others?  Did we rationalize or justify our reactions?  Are we still reliving what happened year ago or pretending it never happened? 

When you are reminded of your negative past experiences, feelings of fear, resentment and anger unrelated to your current life situation can creep up, and it is possible that you will react in the same way that you did when the original experienced occurred.

The crucial question is this:  how do you get past these reactionary behaviors?  The answer is that you must reconnect with your heart and then to Ah-Man.

The Ah-Man Statement

"I am Ah-Man.  Because my heart is open and I have forgiven God, self and others, I am able to talk about any destruction I caused or experienced and am able to share it today honestly without shame, remorse or guilt.  I can do that because I know that all that I have done has made me into the gift I am today - a man coming from his heart, helping other men come from their hearts."
