Aug 6 Episode 107: The God Wound (Part 2): How Subconscious Vows Impact Financial Success

In this week's episode Vangile talks about the God Wound and her personal experiences and insights from her own journey, highlighting how she discovered her anger and resentment towards the Divine. She recounts how her intense efforts in spiritual practices, such as chanting and EFT tapping, were often driven by a subconscious desire to prove the unfairness of the Divine.

This internal conflict created resistance to financial success and personal expansion. Through deep inner work and meditations, she uncovered vows she had made to highlight her suffering and prove the divine's unfairness, which were major blocks to her financial growth.

She also discusses research that supports the impact of trauma on religious beliefs and practices, noting how external threats and communal sacrifices can strengthen religious bonds and resilience.

She explores the idea that suffering is often seen as sacred and how this belief can hinder financial success and personal joy. She challenges the notion that divinity requires suffering and suggests that a relationship with the divine can be based on joy, expansion, and love instead.

Notable Quotes

“The God wound has to do with our own sense of divinity and how we relate to the divine.”
“At the core of the God wound is the belief that no matter what I do, nothing will work out for me. I am not loved by the divine. I am not favoured by the divine.”
“If we grew up believing we need to be something or do something to get love from our parents, this is how we will approach our relationship with the divine.”
“You cannot tell another person how to worship, how to have faith, how to display faith, because you're not in someone's heart."
“What if my relationship with the divine was shaped by how much expansion I could have, how much joy I could allow in, how much love I could allow in?
