RE: How to act in the world from a place of true purpose
I understand your issue with "feeling other peoples stuff". I struggled with that my whole life. What helped me were the teachings of Matt Kahn. I wrote a lot about it in my "Healing the empathic heart"-Series. It may be easier to find them on my blog https://atmos.black/tag/empath/. Also I wrote some articles about relationships between Empaths and Narcissists.
Even though these teachings are very deep, they should not be confused with what I'm writing here. A Course in Miracles is only about content and not form. It has nothing to do with making this world a better place, but only with waking up.
In the Course everything in this world dream - even empathy - is seen as equal and "meaningless". There is no hierarchy of illusions, is one of its basic premises. This goes way deeper than how to handle empathic depression etc. - so we shouldn't confuse levels here.
If you want to handle your empathy issues, I really recommend to check out Matt. This won't help you waking up, but it will make your dream much smoother. He has lots of free videos on YouTube about this topic.
I wish you all the best on your path and my ❤️ is open to all the suffering you are feeling. I will publish my article I talked about here on friday, but you can already read it on my blog - it's called "Let me sleep! I enjoy dreaming!" and it may be a challenging read for an ego.
Aww thank you so so much for this! Ill be checking his videos out all day now! And ill take a look at your blog links. I am in the process of trying to heal from it and actually start to use to properly rather than just feel like it's this thing leading me around in circles in my life. So any real down to earth assistance I will chase up for sure, there are a lot of people talking about 'empathy' etc who really don't seem to understand the suffering it can cause so don't offer much more assistance than the usual 'woo' doing the rounds online. So thank you so much, i am excited to check out your information!!
Ill definitely read your upcoming blog if not Friday then over the weekend, everyone of us whether we want to admit it or not will have some ego resistance, be interesting to see where mine triggers in the blog.
You've given me that extra step in understanding as to what the ACIM is, and i am very intrigued now.
Been a pleasure chatting with you, im sure we will chat some more :)
Listened to quite a bit of that Matt Dude! He talks a lot of sense! Thank- you :)
You are very welcome! I think, that especially his teachings for empaths can be helpful for you.
e.g. "feeling = clearing stuff out of the collective". Dig for the gold nuggets! Much Love! <3
