Oh goodness, Sherry! You’re definitely putting your finger where it hurts… And guess what? I’m not even hurt by those arrogant overt narcissists or the way smarter and more dangerous subtle ones who don’t show their true colors and sell such an adorable image to the world.
Those subtle manipulators can even be internationally recognized for being “helpers” and “change-makers". My heart was bleeding when I listened to a podcast that was celebrating an “expert" of them in the education area…
I’m not blaming those disordered people who lost their soul battle and turned evil. They don’t know better. I’m blaming the kind-hearted folks who are prisoners of their f*cked up program, and whose denial coping mechanism is so strong that they lost their ability to think critically and their human endowment to be self-aware…
I’m blaming them for being so weak and for not taking a chance on themselves to claim their power back from their unhealthy ego. I’m blaming them for being so addicted to distractions, the “feeling good" stupid stories, and for chasing the delusional and distorted happiness “granted" by their “achievements and personal success". I’m blaming them for not seeing the obvious truth of so many gurus and influencers who are so self-centered to give a damn about helping or empowering anyone, who derive their worth from 2 main sources: Money & Power in order to nurture their fragile sick ego.
I’m blaming them for empowering manipulators even more, for deepening the imbalance, and for making the world we’re living in more selfish, superficial, cruel, and many times immoral…
I’m blaming them for not seeing this very simple reality: imposters don’t want them to truly transform. They want them to stay at the leaves through mapping the positive affirmations because they know they would be overridden by their ingrained limiting beliefs with the first incident. Result? Adding even more insecurities to the list and coming back to their mentor. More money, more power, and the vicious circle never ends…
Last but not least, I had some difficulty writing those lines to you with my shaking hands and torn eyes. Thank you for this piece!
