Without getting their hands dirty the Narcissistic wants you dead

** A fictional short story about Narcissism⁣⁣
⁣⁣
When I met Alyssa, she was a sweet, vibrant woman who had built up her business in only eighteen months. She lived three houses down from me and would often invite me in for coffee after my morning run. That was…until she met Ethan.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I always felt there was something “off” about Ethan, but Alyssa thought he was a prince. He moved in with her shortly after they started dating and I began to see her less and less until the only time I would see her was when she left for work.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The last time I saw her, she looked old and broken… an apparition of the woman she’d once been. She’d stopped me during my jog and gave me a worn leather journal and told me that if anything ever happened to her, to give it to the authorities. Then, she hurried back to her house, looking over her shoulder. It occurred to me that she was afraid of someone seeing her speaking to me. In hindsight, I know that person was Ethan.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Then it happened. She disappeared. Per her instructions, I notified the authorities and submitted her diary as evidence. They arrested Ethan, who was later released because they couldn’t tie him to any concrete evidence that connected him to her disappearance.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
During the investigation of their shared residence, remnants of her self-esteem were found on the soles of Ethan’s shoes, her sense of hope was found hacked to pieces in the backyard, her happiness was found in the tire tread of Ethan’s SUV, and her will-to-live was extracted bit-by-bit from the garbage disposal. In the kitchen cupboard, they found her soul, which had been ground into powder to make tea.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
In spite of all of the circumstantial evidence, it wasn’t enough to convict Ethan. But, they don’t know what I know. A Narcissist can annihilate you without ever laying a hand on you.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It was later discovered through expert analysis of her journal entries that it took two years, three months, and ten days for her to disappear.⁣⁣

James Redfield : Relationships

Why does romantic love often end, degenerating into a complex power struggle?

Usually, romance begins easily enough. We look around and wham! There before us is the person of our dreams. The first conversation confirms it. Unlike the one-sided attractions we’ve all experienced, this one seems to be real; the feeling is mutual. We find values and lifestyle preferences in common. And oh the emotion! Perhaps over time we marry or make plans far into the future. For perhaps the first time in years, we feel happy, and even comment that we have found the missing piece of ourselves.

And then something happens. One day we look over and notice something’s not quite right. Our partner has a behavior that we don’t align with, or they aren’t giving us the attention we felt when the relationship began. Amazingly, at the same time, we realize that our partner has their own set of complaints about us too, finding fault with who we are and how we act. We begin to defend ourselves, as does our partner, and the typical power struggle officially begins.

As the relationship progresses, that “in love” feeling begins to wane for both partners as each falls short of the magical image the other has projected on them. Sometimes, the disappointment is so great, we immediately make plans to leave the relationship, to find another dream lover who won’t let us down.

Yet now, because of our expanding awareness, we have other options. We can instead choose to act based on the energy dynamics that underlie the difficulty. From the perspective of the new spiritual awareness, we now know what happens. Love ends and evolves into a power struggle because we begin to depend on energy from each other, rather than from our own inner connection with the divine. 🙏💖✨

Sacred Romance

“The Sacred Romance calls to us every moment of our lives. It whispers to us on the wind, invites us through the laughter of good friends, reaches out to us through the touch of someone we love. We’ve heard it in our favorite music, sensed it at the birth of our first child, been drawn to it while watching the shimmer of a sunset on the ocean. It is even present in times of great personal suffering–the illness of a child, the loss of a marriage, the death of a friend. Something calls to us through experiences like these and rouses an inconsolable longing for intimacy, beauty, and adventure. This longing is the most important part of any human personality. It fuels our search for meaning, for wholeness, for a sense of being truly alive. However we may describe this deep desire, it is the most important thing about us, our heart of hearts, the passion of our life. A voice that calls to us in this place is none other that the voice of God.” 
John Eldredge from the book “Sacred Romance.”

Old Souls

WHEN YOU LOVE AN ANCIENT SOUL

There is a special type of person in this world that is often misunderstood.

These people tend to be the loners, the free spirits, the innocent lovers. They see the world for all it can and should be.
They are the old souls, the dreamers, the people in tune with life, so intuitive of emotions that they frighten us.

They scare not because of who they are, but because of who we are not, what we lack.
Ancient souls reach depths we cannot understand. They have a connection to the Universe, to nature, and that’s why they are the people who are going to change the world.

Their touch is unusual, their sex is unusual, their clarity of view is unusual.
We often feel inferior, as if we have to strive to be even remotely close to their level, to be worthy of their love.

It takes a confident person to love an old soul. But it’s worth it. It will change your life.

They are romantic, they are loyal, they help us grow, they are not materialistic, they understand the deep connections in life, they are grateful, they are examples of bravery.

They walk the most painful roads of this life, and yet somehow they find the courage to smile, to be selfless, to support others.
Loving an old soul and being loved by them is a gift from the Universe!

Watch “Erykah Badu – Next lifetime” on YouTube

Lots of folks are waking to what

is not a reality ..and releasing

“contracts ” , even with what

feels sacred and the Divine

Counterpart of this life time .

Reunions are ignored , in lieu

of fear , wanting to control what

is ordained on high .

Delays of years are being

released as unions of souls be

comes reality..

Others become aware there are

options , including resisting

any contact at all..

I’m surrendered to knowing

and doing better , trusting my

journey , Thy Will Being Done .

I grasp the light that I share is

often reflected by the other..

Intentions are fleeting and time

silence negate the soul

connection .

It’s common to feel rejected but I

am more discerning , and don’t

hold the shame or blame of

anther, past , current or future .

I’m at peace ✌

Stop Walking On Eggshells

To love someone long-term is to attend a thousand funerals of the people they used to be.

The people they’re too exhausted to be any longer. The people they grew out of, the people they never ended up growing into. We so badly want the people we love to get their spark back when it burns out, to become speedily found when they are lost.

But it is not our job to hold anyone accountable to the people they used to be. It is our job to travel with them between each version and to honour what emerges along the way. Sometimes it will be an even more luminescent flame. Sometimes it will be a flicker that temporarily floods the room with a perfect and necessary darkness.
