their surrogates in society. Despite massive family and social pressure to conform to duplicitous norms we now make a decision to be true to ourselves.
This does not win us allies in our families, but it aligns us with the best of our- selves. Our parents and siblings have sacrificed much of their freedom and life force to submit to ancestral denial, and they expect the same from us. When we do not comply, they threaten us with expulsion, abandonment, and the with- holding of love. Yet we resist these threats. No matter what voices haunt our psyche, or literally fill the family dialogue with chatter of retribution, we listen instead to our deep, quiet, and authentic voice of inner truth. We make a decision to align, moment by moment, day by day, with the truth at our core, and we begin to accumulate significant time and practice in rightful living.
