In love and Awakening, John Welwood uses the analogy of a castle to illustrate that world within us. Imagine being a magnificent castle with long hallways and thousands of rooms. Every room represents a different aspect of yourself and is an integral part of the entire perfect castle. As a child, you explored every inch of your castle without shame or judgement. Fearlessly you searched every room for its jewels and its mystery. Lovingly you embraced every room whether it was a closet, bedroom, bathroom, or a cellar. Each and every room was unique. Your castle was full of light, love, and wonder. Then one day some one came to your castle and told you that one of your rooms was imperfect, that surly it didn't belong in your castle. They suggested that if you wanted to have a perfect castle you should close and lock the door to this room... Since you wanted love and acceptance, you quickly closed off that room..As time went by, more and more people came to your castle. They all gave you their opinions of the rooms, which ones they liked and which ones they didn't. And slowly you shut one door after another.. Your marvelous rooms were being closed off, taken out of the light, and put into the dark A cycle had begun
From that time on, you closed more and more doors for all kinds of reasons. You closed doors because you were araid, or you thought the rooms were to bold. You closed doors to rooms that were too conservative. You closed doors because other castles you saw did not have a room like yours..You closed door because your religious leader told you to stay away from certain rooms.. You closed any door that did not fit into society's standards or your own ideal..
The days were gone when your castle seemed endless and your future seemed exciting and bright. You no longer cared for every room with the same love and admiration. Rooms you were once proud of, you now willed to disappear.. You tried to figure out ways to get rid of these rooms, but they were part of the struture of your castle.. Now that you had shut the door to whatever room you didn't like, time went by until one day you just forgot that room altogether. At first you didn't realize what you were doing. It just became a habit. With everyone giving you different messages about what a magnificent castle would look like, it became much easier to listen to them than to trust your inner voice: the one that loved your entire castle...
