Do you Enjoy being a Victim? - 24 Feb 09

24 Feb 2009  Vrindavan, India

Category: Psychology

Swami ji

Today I had a very interesting talk with my dear friends Roger and Mady. I was sharing some of my experiences with them. On my journeys I meet many people and as a healer I have to face many problems which are routed deeply in people’s hearts. When I analyze their problems psychologically there is always this question if they really wish to be cured.

I often meet people who come to me for healing particular issues and they tell me that they are since many years suffering from this, this and this. But many times I feel that they are not ready to leave these problems. They want to hold them and keep them because if their problem is gone, they will miss it. They do not find anything with which they could replace it. They will not have any issue. After spending some time with a problem, the problem becomes a companion and they like to keep it. After a while with this problem they like to be in the role of the victim.

They do not want to remove the label of victim. They pretend to the outer world that it is a problem but they do not make a decision to leave their problem. People who have received sympathy because of their problem will miss this sympathy because they got used to it and like it.

I am healer and I would like to give them healing in a smooth way like a sweet tablet which cures them but sometimes it is necessary to give them a bitter tablet, sometimes it is also necessary to give them an injection and sometimes it is even necessary to do surgery. And I do it because my aim is to cure and to heal them.

I don't understand how people feel some kind of pleasure while telling others that they are victims of something or somebody. It's easier to hang out and neglect everything while being in a bad mood, then solving problems and start to lead a happy life.

I think it is important to have a little more compassion for people. Even if you find their problems unnecessary and unattractive.

I can't stand when people do this. Have some respect for yourself! don't let old pain ruin your future.

I identify with this. Don't worry about missing your problems- put something else in your life.

When we come from that victim place inside of us, we are reflecting an archaic belief that began during our pre- and perinatal experience. It was the perception of what happened to us and what we made it mean about ourselves - that prompted us to take on this archaic belief. Imprints were created during the prenatal time and continue to be repeated as we move forward after birth.

Words of Wisdom

  • God

    If you want to get in touch with god, why do you need an agent for that? Make direct contact through love.

    Source
  • Religion

    Religion makes women inauspicious and depicts them as usable objects, as second-grade citizens who belong to men and should obey.

    Source
  • Children

    Let your children grow up without learning violence in video games. Teach them instead to play with each other, not against each other. Show them that a child of another nation and maybe with another language is just as valuable as they are themselves.

    Source
  • Happiness

    People in India have something to give to the traveller. They can show you how to make the best of what you have. To be satisfied. To be happy. Not to compare yourself with everyone else and feel bad about it. To realize how rich you really are, not only materially but emotionally, in your heart. You learn to value the small things again and you find back to an inner happiness that cannot be shaken easily anymore.

    Source
  • Identity

    Why do we need to pretend to be who we are not?

    Source
  • Sex

    Sexual feeling is just innocent and a part of your body. With your body growing, your feelings also get more mature with age.

    Source
  • Happiness

    If a player only enjoyed playing if he won the match, he would not be very happy in his profession. Don’t let your mind stop you from enjoying as much you can!

    Source
  • Acceptance

    Accept your feelings, accept yourself. Only if you accept yourself you can respect yourself. Be proud of who you are and what you have inside! Each of these steps is important because only if you respect yourself you can love yourself. And only with this love to yourself you can give love to others and receive love from others. Then you are open for this universal love. Accept yourself, respect yourself and love yourself!

    Source
  • Stress

    Be relaxed and have fewer expectations on yourself. Look forward Even to things that are important. If you are anxious you will only exhaust yourself with stress which doesn't make anything better.

    Source
  • Relationship

    Forgetting does not mean suppressing! Forgetting means that you know it but it becomes less and less important so that you don’t keep on recalling it again and again.

    Source
  • Gurus

    Cheating gurus play with the greed of religious people who want to believe in superstition. They lure them in, show them their ‘siddhis’ to make them more and more greedy for success or money and actually suck their money out of them. And in this way they themselves get rich, accumulate tons of gold and just make ridiculous amounts of money.

    Source
  • Perfectionism

    The wish of being perfect is driven by the wish to be an expert. Leave this wish and get into your mind that there is always a possibility to do it better, to learn something. Improvement is always possible but you are fine just as you are!

    Source
  • Friend

    There is a difference in between friends and customers. Customers want something from you. Friends want you.

    Source
  • Feelings

    Trust your feelings and listen to your heart. It will help you take decisions and be stable in your decisions.

    Source
  • Scriptures

    People say scriptures cannot be changed. Okay, but then why do you need to follow them?

    Source
  • Responsibility

    Everybody’s situation is very individual. If I tell you that it is always good to be honest, it is your responsibility how to use this suggestion. If you decide to be honest, unnecessarily tell your boss that you don’t like him and get fired, I would not think that I was responsible for that!

    Source
  • Hope

    If you don’t have hopes, dreams and expectations you won’t be happy. Dream, hope, let your imagination fly and simultaneously use your brain, hands and feet in order to make your dreams become reality!

    Source
  • Love

    Love should always be unconditional. If there is any condition, it is not really love. If someone leaves because of a condition you don't fulfil, you do not have to feel guilty or have an inferiority complex. Those who really love you, love you how you are, not because of something or a certain quality.

    Source
  • Religion

    The Kumbh Mela was created by war, corruption, cheating, greed and the wish for immortality.

    Source
  • Children

    The only good reason for the wish to have a child is because you have love in your heart and you want to share it with a child. You want to give a child the happiness that you feel when you are loved and when you can love someone.
