One Sacred Wound or Multiple Wounds?

Is the sacred wound of separation shared by all, or is it experienced differently through individual traumas like childhood difficulties? Rupert says: ‘The sacred wound that I was referring to is deeper than, say, a traumatic childhood . . . it’s the wound of separation . . . When infinite being clothes itself in experience, it seems to acquire the properties of experience . . . And it’s that primary separation, that apparent separation, that is the wound that lives at the heart of everybody . . . It’s this existential longing that you don’t even know what you’re longing for . . . It’s this wound of separation that can only be satisfied by the recognition of our true nature.’
