Sounds familiar, indeed! The "Savior" pattern trap!

Here is the part that I find fascinating about the subconscious program: No matter how many algorithms we could have rewritten or the level of our reconnection with the original being before any conditioning started, there will always be some unsuspected patterns we discover with new events taking place in our life without our permission!

I came across my residual Savior pattern last year with a shocking discovery. What is mind-blowing is that yielding it has been more challenging than the whole program re-writing process. One impressive detail is how many layers this pattern contains.

The first belief-level I destroyed — and my innocence with it — was, “All mortal beings are inherently good; thus, are worthy of being saved”. The second one was way harder to indeed understand and accept, “Toxic inherently good people don’t deserve my investment”. The final migration — the current step where I made satisfying progress — will, hopefully, be, “Even non-toxic inherently good people wouldn’t earn a chance unless they asked explicitly or implicitly for some guidance”. Free-will is the keyword!

I suspect that what makes giving up on this pattern hard is the noble purpose. Unlike the limiting beliefs that we place as bad, being a savior is intrinsically good. The truth is that it can only be harmful: first to the relationship, given their perception would be, "Something is fundamentally wrong about me; that's why Myriam wants to fix me". Second, to me, since I am disrespecting myself in a way by offering my time and energy to an already lost cause!
