At the end of the rainbow we can find gold, or so the myth says. Moving through our pain to find gold at the end of the rainbow is something most of us can do. However, is it easy? No, it is not easy. Meditating for weeks at a time will only render you somewhat closer to overcoming your trauma. If you are big backed in the trauma buffet, it sucks to see that you are unable to stop eating the food, reliving your trauma and becoming bigger each time.
The appeal of a rainbow shines brightly in our mind, we don't want to take our mind off the rainbow at any time because of the fascination we have with the colors. However, it is only through ignoring the rainbow that we can become comfortable in our own skins. Chasing the end of a rainbow is the true experience. Ignoring something that catches our attention and begs to be replayed in our mind's eye for something greater that doesn't exist at the end of the rainbow is the meaning of recovery. We can't see the legendary pot of gold, the pot of gold has never been proven to exist, at least in our minds. We need to see the legendary pot of gold for what it is but we can never be sure of it's existence. When we make it to the pot of gold, will we be a different person?
I think when you reach a pot of gold, you stay the same person. However, your perspective shifts and you are given a new lease on life. In a sense it is a form of rebirth, like a phoenix rising from ashes.
