Bad Boys need love too

There is extreme pain and a feeling of utter despair when that lovely well-raised child brings home the proverbial Bad Boy to meet the parents. The parent is left feeling that their child will eventually get the bitter end of any stick that is wielded as part of this love process. But as an avid observer of the human condition, I cheekily ask, “Don’t bad boys need love too?”

The same can be said of our Ego and our Inner Being. Our Inner Being, the part of us that is non-physical and knows what we came into this to existence to be and to experience even before we knew ourselves is that parent. Our ego, the self-identified 'I am' is the bad boy.

Our ego came as part of us and is supposed to assist in navigating life in this plane. It helps to create our desire and encourages us to go after our dreams. It urges us to seek fulfillment from things. It uses its power of seduction, of manipulation, of coercion, of aggression, of fear, whatever it needs to get to its objective. But like that shadow planet from Vedic Astrology, Rahu, it is never satisfied so it pushes for more, sometimes to the point of leaving us as a beaten, broken-down discarded wreck with nothing more to do than to seek out the parent for that unconditional love that is always offered.


Our Inner Being never rejects us, no matter what we do, no matter our state of return. It soothes and heals, mending that broken part of us, welcoming us back to ourselves.
So should we love that bad boy, that ego, that self-declared lord and ruler of this physical body? I say a resounding yes.

After the pain,
After the trauma,
After the dark nights,
After the tears,
After the defeats,
After the death of ourselves.

We rise like a phoenix to the true knowledge of our Inner Being and its connection to Source Energy and proudly display our battle scars.

Welcome home, my prodigal daughter.
