Hello, beautiful Souls,
Today, I am talking about what can happen when shifting to a new line after doing deep transformative story therapy.
Often, when you work on yourself, spiritually and emotionally, there comes a moment when you feel you are on the brink of a breakthrough, only to be blindsided by a torrent of shame or blame. Though deeply uncomfortable, these emotions hold profound lessons about the workings of your psyche, particularly when your ego feels threatened by the prospect of transitioning to a new timeline.
Shame and blame are relentless contenders:
- They form a problematic loop of negative thinking
- Trapping you in a cycle of self-condemnation and external fault-finding.
Yet, understanding their origins and mechanisms is critical to disentangling yourself from their grip and continuing your evolution toward greater awareness and fulfilment.
At the heart of this problem lies the ego, that ever-watchful guardian of your self-image and identity. When confronted with the prospect of change, especially significant shifts in your perception of self and reality, the ego can perceive this as a threat to its existence. It recoils, fearing loss of control and familiarity, and thus, it resorts to defensive tactics, including shame or blame, to maintain its perceived stronghold.
Have you ever experienced that moment—You know the one, that exhilarating sensation of nearing a spiritual breakthrough, only to find yourself suddenly besieged by relentless waves of shame or blame? I’ve witneesd it in myself and in others on numerous occassions, and it’s a disorienting experience that can leave even the most seasoned seekers feeling confused and disheartened.
But fear not, for within these turbulent waters lie invaluable insights and opportunities for growth. Recognizing that shame and blame are often symptomatic of the ego’s resistance to change is the first step toward breaking free from their grip. Instead of succumbing to their onslaught, you can view them as signposts, guiding you toward the areas of your psyche that require attention and healing.
Embracing vulnerability is another powerful antidote to the toxicity of shame and blame. By acknowledging and accepting your imperfections, you disarm their potency, robbing them of the power to wound you deeply. In vulnerability, you find strength, resilience, and the capacity to transcend your limitations.
Moreover, cultivating self-compassion is essential in navigating the treacherous terrain of shame and blame. Just as you would extend empathy and understanding to a friend in distress, so must you offer yourself the same kindness and gentleness. Forgive yourself for being human, for stumbling along the path, for it is through these stumbles that you learn, grow, and evolve.
The journey toward spiritual enlightenment is not a linear ascent but a meandering path fraught with obstacles and challenges. Shame and blame may be formidable adversaries, but they are not insurmountable. You can transcend their grasp with courage, compassion, and self-awareness and continue your ascent toward greater understanding, compassion, and love.
So, the next time you find yourself on the precipice of transformation and transitioning to a new timeline, and dear old shame and blame come knocking at your door, remember: they are but temporary guests in the grand story of your life.
Recognise them, learn from them, and then bid them farewell as you continue onward, ever closer to the exalted truth that lies within your new timeline.
Heart to Heart, Elizabeth
