As
I mentioned in my last post, many of you will be seeing others around you who
are starting to break from the pressures of the current energies. You will see
this in severe depression, anger and even nervous breakdowns. Men seem to be
suffering quite badly with this. For one: it is because of the strong influx of
feminine energy, pounding the planet, which, for most, they don’t know how to
navigate and because they don’t tend to have the same emotional releases women
have (for all the female Empaths living with awakening males, you can
expect to be seeing/feeling this in a big way. You will be part of their
wake-up trigger and will need to be extra vigilante not to take on their
negative releases, nor take them personally and be as supportive as is
possible).
In
many, there is an internal battle going on between the ego and the authentic,
true-self. As humans we are ready to evolve, yet the ego knows with evolvement
comes its own demise, so it is in survival mode. It doesn’t’ help that our
external environment is designed to feed and stimulate the ego into wanting
more of everything, in the shape of money, power, fame, success, fashion and
beauty, with the premise that when we attain them, our happiness will be
fulfilled and we will be worthy. We all eventually become aware, that this
never happens. The true-self is happy with having just enough, the ego always
wants more and is never satisfied. Thing is, most people aren’t even aware that
it is their ego which is running the show and doing all the talking; they
believe it’s their own heartfelt desires guiding them.
There
are many people who are too afraid to hear the truth of what is really going on
in the world. They read the paper or watch the news and take what’s been said
as gospel and without question. There is an attachment, so strong, to their
false impression of life that it is like an addiction and it needs to be fed on
a daily basis. But somewhere, deep within, they know the truth and are keeping
it hidden because they also know that when they listen to that truth, their
illusions will be shattered and this may lead to the start of a painful
journey.
Awakening
and evolving is a destructive process and, on a soul level, one has to be
completely ready for it. There will be some who, in this life, won’t choose it.
I don’t believe Empaths had much choice when it came to ‘The Awakening’. We all
had the internal alarms set, which when they went off, normally came in the
shape of a nagging feeling that something was amiss with us and the world. This
then heralded our quest to seek out answers and from there our adventures
unfolded.
So,
what advice do we have for those around us who we can see are in the first
throes of self-realization and turmoil? It is too easy to want to reveal all
that we have learnt, and know, in one big dollop, because we want to help
others, but this may only serve in closing them down (too much too soon). As
most are so completely shut off to anything that seems a little ‘woo-woo’ or
out there, information has to be spoon-fed and given in small increments. If
you have been on this path for a while, think back to what or who helped you in
the early days: was it a book, a video, yoga or meditation? Much of which aided
us back then, we have long since moved on from, but it may be just what the
newly awakened need. Perhaps try to explain that humanity is ready to evolve,
but resistance to it is the cause of much internal conflict and pain.
What
we, as Empaths, have to be careful of in our quest to help and serve, is
becoming a toxic-dumping-ground for others. People come to Empaths because they
listen and really hear what they have to say and, as this is quite rare in
today’s society, it can become like a drug to those who want to be heard or who
love to talk about themselves (this is one of the main reasons many Empaths
close themselves off and make it so they are invisible to others). Here is
where we have to serve our needs first and say no to those wanting to offload.
I’m not saying don’t lend an ear to those in need, but if they keep coming with
the same victim-mentality or me-me stories they are just taking from you and
this helps no one. It’s all about helping others to help themselves in taking
self-responsibility; one can do no more than that. However, if someone does not
want to hear the advice you may offer, it is not your responsibility to keep
trying to get them to hear you.
Empaths,
whether they realize it or not, generally know who wants to listen and those
who don’t by their internal feelings. When talking to one, who doesn’t want to
hear you (this covers all topics), and even if they act or look interested in
what you are saying, you will normally feel an internal compression, like your
torso is being squeezed and you will have a reluctance to talk. For
example: you may be having a conversation with an acquaintance and when it’s
your turn to talk, you may feel a wave of heaviness and boredom wash over you,
this is coming from the other and it’s the signal that they don’t want to hear
what you have to say. This isn’t because you are boring them, just that they
want to get back to talking about their world, because, sadly, that’s all that
some are really interested in.
Unfortunately,
not everyone is ready to hear what you know or have learnt. Most of us gained
our understandings in small stages, so the information has to be imparted in
small digestible pieces. But only to those who are ready to hear and have made
the first approach.
Many
Empaths feel frustrated that they are not doing enough to assist others,
especially when one can feel their pain. It is difficult to see those
suffering and know the steps they could take to help themselves. But, as
I’ve said in earlier posts, we are all doing more than we realize in
transmuting the energies. Remember, in just offering a bright, beaming
smile or lending an ear, for a few minutes, to a stranger is a priceless gift
to some and can be appreciated more than you know.
