Seeing the Higher Perspective
Monday, September 3rd, 2007S
ometimes you don’t really see the truth of what is happening in your life until you are able to rise above where you are now and see things from an entirely different perspective.
We become entrenched in our drama’s and lost in an illusion that we have co-created with others and there is undoubtedly some lesson to be learned in every situation no matter how painful.
Our healing comes in our ability and willingness to trust in a higher perspective and ask that it be revealed in our lives.
Since I work a lot with survivors of narcissistic abuse and have emerged from that shadow myself, I can see both the drama and the higher perspective with each person who writes to me or gets me on the phone. I can see the pain and suffering of the moment with someone waking from the illusion fed by the narcissistic relationship. But I also know it is an awakening and this is where I come in. I can see each person in his/her already awakened state.
Feeding the illusion of victimhood doesn’t serve anyone trying to heal. We are NOT victims! We are not even survivors! We are more than that! We are thrivers! What good is our experience if we can’t use it to become more than we’ve ever been?
The Narcissist in our lives is someone whom we feel has taken our power and left us feeling powerless. Yet that is another illusion. We have the power to take back what is rightfully ours. It is only when we allow someone to have power over us and assign him/her that role, do we truly lose our power.
What I teach in “Spiritual Recovery From Narcissistic Abuse” is a method for recovering ones power. It is something that anyone can do, if open minded enough to embrace the teaching.
We must shed any belief or notion that we are victims and instead learn to see ourselves as creators of our own reality. We must learn to see that we somehow brought this experience into our lives for a reason and that if we understand that reason we will use that experience to become more of who we really are, not less.
Developing that understanding of why we attracted an abusive situation into our lives is our path to the higher perspective. When we can look down upon that situation and say “Oh, yes, now I see!” Then we are truly on our way to empowerment.
When we can forgive our abuser and come to understand he/she was only a player in our story, to help us on some level, become more of who we are really meant to be, then we are free! We are free from needing to place blame on our abuser and give him the power to take something from us. He doesn’t have any real power. Only illusionary.
So break through the illusion and see the higher perspective and you will truly know what it is to be free!
