My name is Fred Timm. In my youth, I toured the world as a modern dancer. I became a caretaker for a church. I discovered that I had been emotionally crippled by my upbringing and culture. I feel compelled to help others do this same, essential work.
There is a purpose to your life.
It is to evolve beyond the limits of your family and ancestors and live out of your enlightened capacity
-- your Sacred Self.
Autobiography
I am a psychotherapist living in
Yet for all the worldly attention that career provided, I felt empty inside.
I questioned my value as a person apart from my professional role.
I left theater to find myself.
Though the archetypes of that religion were profound, the application was limited.
But it was during those years of quiet, lowly work that I was able to self-reflect
and find a deeper sense of myself.
While tending a sanctuary, I explored my inner-sanctuary
and discovered what was true and sacred -- within.
I also found that I was wounded.
I began to observe that this was the norm.
My goal was to untie the knots of parental and societal harm to liberate my soul –
and live out of my true and sacred self.

WHY ARE WE SIDE-TRACKED FROM
OUR SACRED PURPOSE?
As long as we remain captives of our past and the traumas inflicted on us by our families --
and most significantly by our parents --
we will live for them and never ring true for ourselves.
We pay a price for this false allegiance --
with our life force and our souls
Another dismal by-product of unconsicous living,
we will destroy our planet home
and add our species to the list of the extinct.
Fred Timm, LMSW
Why do we thoughtlessly have children
who we fail to love sufficiently,
overpopulating and polluting the planet with disturbed off-spring,
putting a great strain on the world's emotional and physical resources
and threatening our survival as a species?
We have children
to avoid the most painful and important birth of all --
the birth of the child within
who carries the seed of truth,
within the Sacred Self.
We avoid giving birth to ourselves
because it is too painful --
for to do so, we would have to be honest
about our parents
and their failing.
This task is too wrenching for most.
Instead we protect our parents
instead of indicting them for their crimes
against us.
We deny the harm they did us,
hoping to gain
their love at last.
The result is a planet
populated not with enlightened and sacred souls
but with an unconsiously breeding species
who knows better
but is too wounded to notice.
This wounded population
will continue to grow
and be our demise,
unless
we
wake
up.
