Could humility be the answer?

For those of you who are honoring me by stopping by for the first time, I want to express my deepest gratitude! This being said, you might want to know that I am a survivor.

Back in September 2018, and after having been harshly abused by a malignant narcissist, I was about to end my life.

I was saved at the last moment by the grace of my pure love divinity through an out-of-body experience.

It was as if the servant leader in me dissociated to make me see all the lies of my unhealthy ego and realize this gigantic Universe was not revolving around my small self.

This miracle made me believe that when we reach a point of no return, we are granted a unique chance to see our limitless power — only numbed by the life-time of conditioning and unbecome the filter!

Many people tend to ask me the following uncomfortable question:

What is that special about you to be “saved” by your divinity while so many proceeded with taking their lives?

The discomfort comes from ignoring the answer! What I’m sure about, though, is that it is anything close to being that special.

It seems to me that some virtue might be the answer. I love to think it is the mother of all virtues: the exquisite humility.

Some people, in a desperate trial for them to cope with their unconscious suffering coming from their unfriendly subconscious program — the by-product of their harsh environment — needed to amplify their self-esteem; thus, developed narcissistic tendencies.

You may spot the tendencies in the question above considering that an empath would consider others’ feelings and always keep in mind the horrible traumas they went through. Consequently, they’d unlikely ask such a question in the first place.

Interestingly, even if they are inherently good people who luckily didn’t lose their soul battle and become pathologically narcissists, moderate to high tendencies wouldn’t leave enough room for humility.

As a natural result, the heart would be closed to receive the light. This is my humble theory that I wanted to share with all of you, dear readers, and I will be thrilled by getting your feedback!

***Unbecome the filter: destroy the false persona, the limiting beliefs, the shields we built to protect our fragile ego from the suffering of never feeling good enough, the invasive program.
