Some voices within us remain silent—not because they have nothing to say, but because we’ve decided not to listen. In this episode, we explore the act of speaking from the perspectives we disown: parts of ourselves, others we reject, or emotions we avoid.
By adopting the second person in writing and speech, we create space for these exiled parts to speak—not to justify or accuse, but to be heard. This episode offers a practical framework for building internal bridges through symbolic dialogue, one that honors Masonic principles of reflection, connection, and repair.
🔑 Key Takeaways
- Writing in the second person allows compassionate perspective-taking
- Disowned parts of ourselves often hold essential emotional truth
- Symbolic dialogue is a Masonic act of healing and re-integration
