How to Solve the Problem of Empathy

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


“Highly sensitive people are too often perceived as weaklings or damaged goods. To feel intensely is not a symptom of weakness, it is the trademark of the truly alive and compassionate. It is not the empath who is broken, it is society that has become dysfunctional and emotionally disabled.” – Anthon St Maarten

To qualify as an empath, you need to be someone incredibly sensitive who actually absorbs other people’s energy rather than just witness it. We can all be sensitive to energy, but to actually (and involuntarily) absorb it… Wow, that’s tough. Often linked to those who have, in childhood, had to parent their own parents from a young age and therefore have been unable to create healthy boundaries with those around them, an empath’s core will be fragmented and the lines easily blurred with whomever they encounter.

This predicament, on the surface anyway, makes them seem innocent, even naive, and ultimately ripe for abuse. Empaths can often feel completely sapped of energy, angry for no apparent reason and frustrated that others seem to create and dictate their identity rather than themselves.

It is a purpose that can have you admiring everyone else’s grass and pondering over why exactly it is that you can’t sunbathe on it. I mean, we all want to have an easy life, right? You’ll be told you’re not normal. You’ll become so fragmented and influenced by energy from all over the place that you won’t even know who you are anymore. You’ll become cursed.

So what – if any – is the benefit of being an empath? Is there any point I hear you cry. Why did I chose this? I must have been crazy!

To understand the predicament of the empath, let’s take a closer look at childhood and where the patterns (particularly the negative patterns) of this type come from. Rudolph Steiner, founder of Waldorf education and the anthroposophy movement, at the turn of the twentieth century theorized that children, still existing partly in their ethereal bodies (a state that decreases with age), are more able to absorb other’s feelings and sense the emotional states and occurrences’ around them.

This is why childhood experiences are so intense, and why it doesn’t matter what the adults around them say or do, it’s impossible to lie to a child because they can sense your energy and intention. When a child is abused, it is invariably the objects and actions that they associate with their abuser’s emotional state that sticks with them. A childhood experience that becomes all too crystal clear, and ultimately corrupts their development.

Accessing those raw, unjudged feelings and reactions to the events that happen in childhood are part of the healing process for anyone, but can be particularly essential for the healing and ascending empath who has gone against their nature in a way by blocking that expression.

      The so-called “Empathy” is a Mental Construct because the common/”popular” perception of Empathy is limited to The Material Realm. For example, Compassion is an Absolute Aspect because Compassion is The One who is able to realise from The Beginning to The Ending much like when self is “Above The Horizon”, the vision becomes [more] real. OTOH, Sympathy is a Relativity/”Relative” because The Sympathetics are only privy to “Somewhere Between First & Last” and yet said Sympatheticos are ALWAYS Expecting-Demanding that their view be taken as defacto/”godspeak”. As such, should Empathy be merely Of The Material, that is akin to Vegens formulating their rules as they slide along Anger-Guilt Avenue.

      ALL Humans are Thinkers, with some being Potentials and others being Kinetics. In this State of Vacillation/Inconsistent-Behaviour known as “Thought”, you know, where The Shades of Grey/The Multiplicity of Choices and other Wishy-Washy behaviours are defacto, there is no such thing as Absoluteness other than being Relative – with The Clever-Cunning ones posturing absoluteness in order to Gain “An-Advantage”/Something-for-Nothing, Something for Nothing being EVERY Gambler’s Dream. You know, using Hypocrisy to befool The Worshipfuls/Conditioned, said Conditioned being those whose Thirst is quenched by Another Drinking on their behalf because To Be Comforted/Blinded is their Abandonment.

      Witness & Realise that whenever there is “Choice”, Freedom is merely a Mental Construct – that of an Imagination delivered via Comfort. Even this Simplicity Eludes and will continue to elude The “Stupid”/Egotistical/Saviours and The “Dumb”/Conditioned/Worshipfuls. More so when Aspects like Truth, Love, Justice, Freedom, and so forth are ONLY real when The Behaviour is Consistently benevolent. When there is Absoluteness.

      As such, Empathy is only real when there is Unconditionality but NOT when Today’s, “I Love You”, is merely Tomorrow’s, “I Hate You”. For the benefit of The Unwary of Thought, said Thought being “The Anti-Christ”, Love is Unconditional whereas the so-called love of Humans is anchored upon Expectation-Demand. That of Conditionality, aka Ownership Issue. Afterall, should Truth be ownable, the need to be Truthful is then avoidable. Witness & Realise, therefore, why Barefaced Liars never, ever, have the need/desire/urge to be truthful if only because to the individual, they believe that they own The Truth. This Simplicity, of course, simply Eludes. More so when “Empathy” is merely privy to “Somewhere Between The Beginning & The Ending”. Le ‘Eck, so long as Egotists & The-Conditioned are easily fooled, who le ‘eck cares. eh ? No wonder Da Nulander said, “F*** Da EU” and still her lot are respected and “selectable”.

      The Depository of Love is The Heart. The Benevolent Heart, that is, and not The Vacillatory Heart. You know, those for whom the heart is for being easily comforted/made-worshipful. When “Open Wide …” merely elicits a “’Ow Wide …, pretty pleeze?” Those for whom Being Comforted is Being made Dumb/Worshipful/”Masochistic”. Yes, didn’t you hear it the first time? Ah mean Widerrrr … NOW ! No wonder empatheticos are queue-ing around the block, come Rain, Sunshine & Gale, for their next incarnation of Gadgetry. And these types have a Crystal Cage for emtombing their fancifuls for the moment when “Tulips Cost More Than Houses”, hee-hee, haw-haw.
