Perhaps it’s not the “logical” mind that I’m talking about as much as human nature that seems magnetically drawn to mimic the behaviors of our peers and deem them a favorable formula to emulate.

Logical seems a subjective term, because perhaps you don’t consider following the herd mentality to be logical at all. Perhaps you’ve been made aware of the fact that this type of logic is the type that you are not meant to subscribe to.

It’s been revealed to me on several occasions that the category I am to fall under is the not being led by human logic category. I’ve also been made aware repeatedly that my human nature will sometimes resist falling into this category, lured by the false sense of validation offered in fitting in and therefore will be at constant odds with my spiritual side, persistently working to guide me away from what the world influences me to think and toward what my intuitive Higher Spirit is trying to show me.

Sharing what I’ve been shown in ways that help fuel others aids me in this endeavor.

As an empath, (before I was aware there was an actual name for why I was the way I was) I struggle when dealing with others to figure out where they end and I begin.

The bright spot is that after being in people’s presence, I feel the light in them.

Sometimes there’s so much pain and trauma blocking it that it’s not as easily detected, but if I’m strong enough to remain open, I will be made aware of it.

The not-so-bright spot is that once I’ve been made aware of it, there’s no convincing me that this (the empowered essence I feel within the person) is not who they really are.

Therefore, I’m generally in a state of perceiving the capacity and potential of who I “see” someone to actually be when perhaps they personally might not have the necessary self-interest or inclination in rising to that particular potential that’s moving within them-often just beneath their surface.

Understand when I use the word potential I’m not talking about the “better you” that would exist if you’d just fucking work harder at “changing”.

I’m talking about the level of oneself that ALREADY IS and we kinda sorta “know” it‘s there but often goes unutilized due to factors (fear, trauma, pain, etc…) blocking our access to it.

Desiring to access this level of being is a personal decision that cannot be foisted on you by another- regardless of how much they want it for you.

It has taken me a PAINFULLY LONG TIME of much human trial and error to “GET” it and understand: you can’t take someone else where they aren’t ready, willing, or desiring to go.

Even when you feel you want it enough for the both of you, and you already KNOW THEY HAVE EVERYTHING THEY NEED BECAUSE YOU HAVE ALREADY SEEN IT AND IT WAS THROUGH THEM THAT YOU SAW IT!!

It’s taken MUCH training to know my role.

And knowing it doesn’t mean I don’t sometimes backslide, so I’d best say it again to remind myself: my role is to encourage the emergence of another’s own empowered energy. 

How does one do that?

By reminding you of what I ALREADY know about you to provide you with the fuel, courage, and strength needed to do the work (soul workouts you read about in my posts) involved in facing demons and moving away blocks that have previously prevented your access.

I can’t face your demons. I can’t move your blocks. But I already know the level of you that can. YOU ARE FULLY EQUIPPED. And knowing this about you is what provides me with the faith to know it of myself. And keep moving forward.
