Melissa and Jared cover the topic of "The Wound." There is a discussion about approaching the wound, verses managing the symptoms that are uncomfortable. With enough experience the Soul acquires a wound that is meant to awaken us. The wound does not need a origin story. Some personal examples are shared. "We want to not fix what is broken, but to have what is broken blessed." The soul is unattached to the stories we tell ourselves. When we can identify the call of the wound, we can use that to get to know the Soul.

Jared and Melissa talk about another line of defense that can keep us asleep and that is the story we tell about ourselves. The energy around the "should" may allow us to see lives and stories in a new way, and because we are the narrators of our story we can tell the story in a different way. The suggestion of living life as an improvisational actor rather then an actor in a play with a well worn script. Stories come out in our Enneagram types. An outside person who asks us to question our story can cause us to start to look at our stories in a new way. "Unfold your own myth."

Melissa and Jared talk about the concept of the Inner Critic. A model of soul development is introduced where we go from Essence, to Ego, to Encapsulation and ultimately try to move to Expansion. An earlier version of ourselves creates a set of rules and an operating system in order to survive. As we get older a voice develops that keeps us encapsulated into the person we think we need to be and then this contrived self needs to stay in this pattern by using an inner critic or a motivating voice. It is ultimately a voice that reminds us of the rules of being a "good" person and warns us of the danger of attempting something outside of the narrow perception we have of ourselves. Using a multitude of metaphors Jared and Melissa talk about the need to start uncovering the rules, to start moving towards expansion. Our souls age in geological time.
