Have you always been wondering why you are so much more sensitive than people around you?
Have you always been feeling like that you are trapped in a pattern in a maze, not been able to find your way out at certain period of time in your life?
Have you always been looking for the answer that can explain the deepest trauma of your life?
For most of us who have read Harry Potter, a new perspective to interpret some of the plots might help explore the answers to the questions above.
You must still remember the lightening bolt shaped scar on Harry Potter’s forehead. It makes him pop out from the rest of the people at first sight, though what behind the scar lies in the deepest trauma of his life: He lost both of his parents when he was still a baby. Ever since he could remember, he was raised by his relatives who could not and would not accept who he truly is. He was not able to reconnect to his authentic self until a certain age. But the scar is also sacred at the same time as it gives Harry Potter the most precious gift after him transforming his deepest trauma.
If Harry Potter is the light, then the Voldemort is the darkness and Harry’s shadow side. Harry has so much in common with the Dark Lord that he has always been struggling with either understanding or accepting the shadow part. Nonetheless, his sacred scar was the reason for him to seek the answer and approach the light. In the final battle, Harry Potter mustered up his courage, walked into the Forbidden Forest to face his destiny—the deepest fear of his life. He thought he was sacrificing himself and going to die. But facing his shadow side did not kill him. Instead, his gallant act freed him from the nightmare that has been haunting him all his life and activated his biggest gift. He became stronger than ever. Nothing could ever threaten him. After releasing his shadow side, he destroyed the elder wand that represents the supreme power as what he experienced has taught him to treat the power in his hand with caution and realise that it is his sacred mission to give the power back to everyone.
From this particular perspective, Harry Potter is an alchemical journey that one step into another world to explore and face his/her shadow side. The reason why you have a sacred scar is calling you to step upon a journey to transform your shadow side. In this journey, you will be able to take all the courage to tap into your deepest fear and transform the lead of trauma into gold. You will never bee alone. Like Harry Potter, you will meet the right companions, elders who have the mystical wisdom to guide your way. You will find the sword of light that severs the negative cords to the past trauma, let your shadow dissolve in the light, come back with your biggest rewards, inspire and guide your follow heroes to step onto their journey, and back with their gold, strength and wisdom.
