I’ve been converting all the
documents on my hard drives to the latest Word document format—one by one. So far, I haven’t found any earlier than 2003
(17 years ago), and they all seem to be Word97 documents. I’ve mostly resisted
the temptation to stop and read any of them.
However, I do catch glimpses of the words as I’m saving the new format
documents. I had saved part of an article
about empathy (probably from fifteen to twenty years ago) for future reference,
and I decided that I wanted to share it immediately by posting the link to the
original article on Facebook.
Unfortunately, it’s a pdf document, and I recognize many people, especially
those who access the internet on their phones, wouldn’t be able to read
it. So, I’m going to share that full
link here for the ♥Angel-Light Beamer♥, along with excerpts from the article, and then share the
link to the article on Facebook. Those
who are able to read the full original article in pdf version are encouraged to
do so at: https://energizedlivingtoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/How_To_Transcend_Being_Empathic_To_Become_Consciously_Multi-Dimensional.pdf
I wanted to share excerpts from
this article of bj King (yes, it’s bj and not BJ) because I’ve noticed the
subject of being empathic come up in my Facebook groups and newsfeed often in
the last several weeks. Sometimes people seem to wear the label “I’M AN EMPATH”
like a badge of honor and claim the more empathic you are the better. I disagree, and this article (How to
Transcend Being Empathic to Become Multidimensional) validates my reality
(which is probably why I saved excerpts from it all those years ago). We the Angel-Light Collective shared for many
years that being 25% empathic is helpful, but over that can be detrimental to
one’s wellbeing. That hasn’t changed.
One can choose to lower one’s level of empathy if one is experiencing the
symptoms described in this article.
First, we’ll share a description
of bj King in her own words (from her site, www.namasteconsciousness.com, and
I recommend the reader explore the site for wisdom teachings): I AM a practical mystic, artist,
writer, minister, teacher of creativity, spiritual mentor, mother and
grandmother. I AM president of Namaste, Inc., a non-profit spiritual education
organization, based out of Oklahoma City. I work inter-dimensionally as a liaison
between the Intergalactic Federation, the Spiritual hierarchy, the Angelic
realm and Humanity. I have access to the Akashic record and the ability to read
the client’s incarnation contract and life purpose. I AM authorized by the
Hierarchy to administer initiations and activations when called for by the
client’s soul. I AM the editor and publisher of the Namaste Newsletter and the
author of several books: Old Loves are Seldom Finished; Who are You and What on
Earth are You Doing Here?; Universal Laws; The New Beatitudes; The Forty-nine Rays
Their Meanings and Uses; Life is a Game These are the Rules; Pentimento--Diary
of a Walk-in. [Angel-Light Note: These
are some interesting titles. The “Who Are You” and Dairy of a Walk-in”
selections got my interest when I read the list.]
Now here are some excerpts from
the article.
Do you have trouble focusing? Trouble losing weight? Eat
uncontrollably or more than your
body wants? Drinking alcohol more often than normal or can’t
stop once you start? Overuse
prescriptions or illegal drugs, even though you know better?
Feel anxious, angry or jealous,
seemingly without an obvious reason? Have headaches the
doctors can’t explain? Feel crazy
occasionally? Get so emotional you can’t function with no
obvious reason? Do you eat and then feel guilty? Do you feel drawn to
masturbate or obsessively watch pornographic movies or videos? Do you allow
yourself to have sex without discrimination about your partner? Do you drink to
the point of being drunk and not remember what you have done? Do you continue
to gamble beyond what you can afford to lose? Do you shop and run up your
credit cards for things you may never wear or use? Do you lose your temper over
small things that really don’t matter? Do you suffer from road rage? You may be suffering from being empathic.
There is a difference between being empathic and being
compassionate. Being empathic can be dangerous to your mental, physical and
emotional health. When a person is empathic, they actually merge their
emotional body with the emotional body of another person or group. They may
even leave their emotional body open at all times and walk around absorbing
like a sponge the emotions of others, the emotional energy left behind in the air
or the thought forms left behind by others. Spirit’s definition of being
compassionate is to join our passion with the passion of another person, which
is different than joining them emotionally.
When we have a friend, who is suffering and we want to help
them, if we join with them
empathically, we lower our vibrational energy to the level
of theirs. We join them in their
misery. We “feel” for them. If we are compassionate, we hold
our energy field as high as
possible and only join with their spiritual energy and
therefore we raise their vibration. A
problem can never be solved at the vibrational level it was
created. If we hold ourselves and
them in a higher energy, they are much more likely to come
to a positive awareness about their
situation than if we join them energetically, empathically,
at the level of their problem,
dilemma or suffering.
To be “empathic” is to consciously or unconsciously project
one’s energy field into the
consciousness of another Human being, at the emotional or
energetic level, in order to have
sympathetic or empathic understanding of the other Human
being.
As we grow older some people learn other methods of defense,
verbal understanding or soul
communication in order to get the needed information from
another. Many people remain
empathic throughout their entire lives, never knowing if the
pains and emotions in their bodies
are theirs or belong to the people they have encountered.
They remain ignorant that they are
even picking up feelings and emotions from others and
believe that all this confusion and
turmoil is their own. Many people believe it is their duty
to be empathic in order to be
understanding of others. Many people believe it is positive
to be empathic.
We are never in control of our own feelings as long as we
continue to be either consciously or
unconsciously empathic. An empathic person finds it very
difficult to understand where they
stop, and other people begin. They have a tendency to allow
their boundaries to be invaded by
other people. They do not even understand the concept of
personal boundaries. When a
person is unconsciously empathic it is difficult for them to
have a good self-image. Their self-image is controlled by the thoughts other
people have about them. They do not have a clear
impression of selfhood and “others”. When a person is
unconsciously empathic the gift of
being able to read other people empathically often becomes
more of a curse than a gift.
Being empathic causes many people to be overweight,
excessively emotional or to become
addicted to substances, because of being overly sensitive.
When the body has no boundaries to
the emotional body, the physical body tries to become the
size of the emotional body. This
feeling of being out of control emotionally leads to
excessive eating, in order to try to feel in
control or to feel grounded. We erroneously try to create a
physical barrier between ourselves
and other people, since we have no emotional boundary.
Empathic people find it difficult to be in crowds or around
groups of people with whom they
are not familiar, unless they have numbed themselves with
drugs or alcohol. After being in
public all day an empathic person may retire to their own
space, their own home and feel
drained. They also may have feelings, emotions, cravings and
desires they don’t understand
intellectually. They often act on emotions that are not
theirs, being unaware that they are
being affected by what they have picked up during the day
from the energy fields of others.
When I meet a psychic person, who is reading others by being
empathic, they are often
resistant to the idea of giving up being empathic, believing
this is their “gift” and that they must
remain empathic in order to fulfill their destiny. If they
are willing to trust their souls, they can
reprogram themselves to receive necessary information about
their clients by being consciously
multi-dimensional rather than empathic. It does however take
discipline to change our way of
being energetically. When I use the word “discipline” many
people hear the word punishment.
To be disciplined is to care enough about yourself to do
what is to your highest good; it is a
form of self-love, self-respect.
When a person is empathic, they respond emotionally, usually
with tears, when large amounts
of spiritual energy enters their bodies, during readings or
meditations. This causes discomfort
for them and for their client and is not necessary.
Being empathic is against spiritual law, is intrusive and
self-sabotaging. In being empathic we
are picking up information from others and carrying it for
them, or acting it out for them,
unconsciously. It is difficult to differentiate between what
are our feelings and emotions and
the emotions of others. If you have been consciously or
unconsciously empathic it is time to
give up this means of accessing information about others.
If we choose to act responsibly energetically it is time for
us to give up being empathic in favor
of being deliberately multi-dimensional. To do this we have
to rewrite our software, our
program to only seek Oversoul [aka Higher Self] communication with our own
Oversoul [aka Higher Self] and to deliberatelyprogram ourselves to communicate with others from our
Oversoul [aka Higher Self] to their Oversoul [aka Higher Self]. This form of communication by passes the emotional body. When we need
information about anotherperson we can communicate with our Oversouls [aka Higher Selves], and if it is
ours to know, our Oversoul [aka Higher Self] will communicate with the Oversoul [aka Higher Self] of the other person and the
information or awareness we needwill come into us in the form of intuition or knowingness. If we change our method of communication, we
can choose to pick up information only when that is our intention rather than
randomly.
As psychics or mystics, it is spiritually inappropriate to
invade the thought forms or psychic
space of another individual without being specifically
invited by that person. To deliberately
tune in to other people, without being asked, is equivalent
to opening another person’s mail,
eavesdropping or listening in to the party line of a
telephone. As we become more and more
open it is important for us to control our own energy space
(and thoughts) and to not impinge
on the energy space of other people. When we move in the
direction of not being empathic
and only getting information about a person or situation, by
requesting that our Oversoul [aka Higher Self]communicate with their Oversoul [aka Higher Self], we are following spiritual
protocol. We are not to offerunsolicited spiritual advice, nor are we to alter the energy
field of another person in any way,without being asked by them or without first asking
permission of their soul. To do this
infringes on a person’s free will, which is against
spiritual law.
To be within spiritual law it is recommended that we seek to
receive information only from our
own Oversouls [aka Higher Selves] and to ask our Oversouls [aka Higher Selves] to contact the
Oversouls [aka Higher Selves] of other people. We will thenbe given the knowledge of what is appropriate, and what we
have permission to ask for the person. We will also be told if we can pass on information
to them, which we are receivingfrom their Oversoul [aka Higher Self].
It is useful to develop a relationship with the highest
level of our souls, through the vibration of
the Cosmic Christ Consciousness that our physical bodies can
tolerate at this time. In
developing that relationship, that level of our Oversoul [aka Higher Self] can
become our gatekeeper, our spirit guide, or our receptionist and take messages from other
spirits that might desire to interact
with us. If we develop this relationship, we can always
trust the information we receive. Our
gatekeeper can translate or interface with other spirits and
we are not constantly trying to sort
through the various messages we might encounter or having to
challenge each spirit that
approaches us to see if they are of the Light.
