Abstract
‘Nothing exists that is not Divine’ says an old Tantric principle, and I ask you, as a reader, to keep this aphorism in mind through this chapter. Since I will use the coming pages for exploring and explaining trauma related to peace work, I take this as an opportunity to carefully approach and embrace my own traumatic episode. As much grief, anger and at times self-hatred that followed (and still follows) the assault, I would probably not choose the path that I have chosen without experiencing the attack.
