The Empath’s Dilemma

#

As an empath, you are quickly and constantly confronted with a world of people who are not like you and don’t care. For this reason, they will often drain you knowingly or subconsciously. Empathic people cannot help but take on the pain, the heartache, the fear, and the worries that surround them.

But I’m tired bro. This world is exhausting. But this exhaustion is the catalyst of my superpower. You see we have lots of Narcissists that are running our world. Great. Who promoted you fools in the first place?

I stumbled upon this enlightening video on youtube that explains it:

The Wounded Awakening

While it’s painful to come to these realizations, after undergoing the wounded awakening, empaths can become fully integrated. This is also where Narcissists try harder to keep up their facade. They are losing their grip to control and manipulate the empath. Their power as energy vampires comes from getting a reaction from empathic people.

Meanwhile the empath is forced to confront what Carl Jung calls the “shadow within”: all the suppressed anger, doubt, fear, or other emotions that are regulated because of social stigmas. But when confronted and integrated, one can become one’s full self.

Integration: a Sovereign Empath’s Superpower

The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.

Carl Jung

This is to be fair, rarely seen and hard to acheive. But it’s worth it. Here’s why: Empaths don’t lose their empathic nature, they merely master it.

Once integrated, an empath easily see through the illusion and lies of malignant Narcissists and they lose their power. It is the ability to willfully cut off ones’ self to emotional vampires so they are starved of any power. Anger gives way to discernment and compassion becomes choice.

There is no longer a reaction given to people and things that are truly not worthy of one’s time. Just presence. Being there, not even calling out the lies and manipulation, but allowing the silence to do so for psycological vampires.

When you find your anchor you’re immune to manipulation.

It’s about realizing that while we cannot change others, we don’t have to participate in their lies, illusions, nor manipulations.

In fact, doing nothing is our most powerful weapon in a fight against a world of lying chaotic self-serving manipulators.

I’ll save the rest for another post but in order to get the necessary political, social, and economic changes that are desparately needed we do nothing. But we do it strategically. Withdrawing our participation in systems, groups, people that are morally bankrupt and illegitimate. More on this next time…

If universal truths exists, surely they don’t need me to prove them. One should merely point to the evidence and the truth should be obvious to all who witness.
