In recent times, especially on platforms like
TikTok and Instagram, we witness growing expressions of what some call inner
child healing where individuals, often in dramatic fashion, pour liquids on
themselves, break social norms intentionally, or behave childishly as an act of
symbolic freedom. These acts are often framed as therapeutic, as ways of
“letting oneself go” in order to reclaim authenticity, reject self-imposed
rules, societal repression, or process past trauma.
But as with all things human, discernment is
crucial.
Some branches of psychoanalysis, particularly
those leaning heavily on emotional catharsis, promote the idea that “letting
oneself go” leads to liberation and maturity. The reasoning is that by shedding
inhibitions, one connects with buried emotions, suppressed desires, or a
neglected self. However, as the Grail Message insightfully warns, this
principle when misunderstood or taken too far does not heal, but harms.
The Message states:
“To achieve this destruction not a little is
contributed by the principle of ‘letting oneself go’, which follows as a
natural consequence of the principle of temptation.”
Let us pause to consider the weight of this. What
is being described here is not authentic spiritual healing, but rather a
dangerous counterfeit. When a soul “lets go” without anchoring itself in truth,
conscience, or higher striving, it opens the door to a slide, not into healing,
but into darkness. The message continues by explaining how this principle,
widely accepted in the regions of Darkness, now infiltrates earthly life
through certain psychological practices.
And what is the result?
“… numerous victims of similar therapies
wandering about today without any hold on life… Their little bit of
self-reliance and, on the whole, all their individual thinking have been
completely picked to pieces and destroyed…”
This is not an abstract warning. Look around:
many today are left emotionally naked, spiritually disoriented, and morally
unanchored not because they never sought help, but because the help they found
tore them down without building them back up.
The Message continues:
“Through the systematic intrusion into their most
intimate affairs and rights they have gradually lost the sense of shame which
is an integral part of personal self-respect… On such uprooted soil no new,
solid building can then be erected.”
And this is the great tragedy: healing is not
found in dismantling every boundary, defying every social code, or casting off
restraint. True healing strengthens what is noble in us. It awakens the dormant
good, stirs us to responsibility, and orients us toward what is higher.
Yes, some rules in life are artificial and should
be questioned. But many more are protective, moral, and purposeful. Rebellion
for its own sake is not freedom. And self-expression without self-mastery leads
not to growth, but to chaos.
Even Lucifer, the Message tells us, is contemptuous
of how humans debase his own principle of temptation. In human hands, the
principle of “letting oneself go” becomes a pathway to shame, self-destruction,
and spiritual confusion. As the Message warns, this is the direct spreading of
the Lucifer principle.
A Better Path
The true physician of the soul, the Message
affirms, does not need to tear down. He recognises the slumbering good
within, awakens it gently, and builds upon it. He doesn’t encourage
recklessness in the name of healing, but transformation through spiritual
recognition.
And so, let us exercise great care. Let us honour
the inner child not by descending into childishness, but by rising into childlike
purity, wonder, and clarity anchored in self-respect, humility, and the living
Laws of Creation. Let us reject trendy therapy that flatters pride and ego, and
instead seek truth, conviction, and the noble striving that alone can bring
true freedom.
In these chaotic times, the world needs not more
“letting go” but more standing upright spiritually alert, morally clear,
and inwardly alive.
Let those who seek, find.
