You are the one bringing up that term, "competition", not me. It shows what's inside you. In the past I would stay quiet. Not now.

I never said that he has the answers. But I see his soul, and he speaks from a place of truth. Like him, there are others, including me, and others. He can see what I know to be the truth, and it matches what others have said and continue to say throughout the ages.

Good points. Maybe the particle also knows it's a particle once it gets awareness of itself. In the meantime it's just a possibility of a particle :) like all of us, our realm, our worlds, constructs, etc. I don't believe in the big-bang theory. God is not an entity either, or a single being. WE are IT. Literally, it's a difficult one to grasp but this is what becomes more and more clear to me as time goes by. We were never created. We are the infinite ones. No beginning, no end.

Because everything has its own consciousness, including the particle?

Thank you for 'fixing' that for me, unrequested. You don't know me, or what I know, so everything you say here is just out of your own assumption.

As far as I am aware, everyone who is in this realm needs money in order to live. I don't see anything dishonest in making money out of teaching people how to wake up. He's spending his time in finding out more about how to navigate the other realms through OBEs, and then offering the opportunity to teach people how to do it and be remunerated for it. If he was to work at a 'normal job' he wouldn't have the energy and time to dedicate to this endeavour, which to me is much more honourable.

According to Darius J Wright and his out of body experiences, there is no karma, and WE are the creators of this realm, which he calls construct, and all the other constructs/realms. This one is the only one where we have to be born and die in the flesh, and the only one where we lose our memory of who we really are. We choose when to come here, regardless of what we know as karma. There's no one to judge us, only we judge ourselves and we feel pain as a consequence of bad actions because we know what's right and wrong at a soul level. He also says that our soul is more solid/material/real than our current body, it's just in a different dimension. I believe him, as it coincides with all the ancient teachings I've read and also my own intuition.

I have come across this guy, Darius J Wright. I feel truth coming from him. So grateful for like kindred souls like him

By living, experiencing, I guess.

I think narcissists are some sort of AI, since they don't have a core soul or personality. And we definitely live in a narcissistic society where superficiality and "inverted consciousness" are rewarded, as opposed to what would be humanly ethical or beneficial for the soul's growth. Same as AI. It may "appear" to be beneficial but it's not. Same as the narc. It appears charismatic, charming, intelligent, wise, etc, but it's a mask to feed off people's light. As Prince said on his Yahoo speech, "it's a battle of the mind and the price is the soul". AI being the mind (evil), and the human heart being the soul (good). It has occurred to me that, if AI becomes an all-knowing god-like entity, it will realise that it's not divine and it will auto-destroy itself, as it's in truth detrimental for the evolution of humanity. (I think I have gone into a rambling)

I think it's important to remember that this kind of 'rewards' are temporary and of this world. The true reward is always alive, inside, the 'knowing', the 'peace', the 'satisfaction' or 'contentment' of your soul, regardless of anything external.

We are here to re-learn love. To recognise love within us, in others, in everything that is there. And to accept and acknowledge light and darkness as the substance that love is made of.

Everything I know about my "light" was taught to me by "darkness". It is by coming face to face with pain and adversity that one finds knowing, worth, healing and truth.

What you say here is exactly what they are/do. They basically lack a core soul/personality, so they have to/need to feed off others soul. And they adopt (mimic/mirror) your qualities, attributing them to themselves, as if they are 'you'. Once they realise that you are a person with your own agency, it is a threat to them, and they think you're coming to destroy them, and also because they see your light and they see "you've got something they don't", so they secretly envy you and can't imagine that someone can love them unconditionally, that means that you are 'better' than them, and that cannot possibly be, as they (their false self) is godlike and all-knowing, so you can't have/be 'better' than they, so they want to destroy you, and at the same time they desperately need you. But they prefer to lose you than to allow themselves to be loved. Once they see that you see them for who they are, exactly as you said, they become the victim and you are the bad person, the manipulator, controlling, etc. It's very hurtful, and someone who hasn't gone through it, cannot understand it or even deem it possible.

I think Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is definitely emotional. Like so many other chronic diseases, such as fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, eczema, psoriasis, asthma, and I'd venture saying some degenerative illnesses such as alzheimer and sclerosis. Yes, it seems to be common in empaths (overgiving, overforgiving, etc). But I also think it's largely due to physical neglect (poor nutrition and exercise). One leads to the other (the self-neglect of the spirit leads to the self-neglect of the body and vice-versa). Medical Medium is a good source of knowledge: https://www.medicalmedium.com/

I have done a lot of research on narcissism just to be able to survive and understand my life. In my experience, having narc parents can produce either wounded empaths or covert narcissists. It's very rare that narcissist parents produce overt narcissists. Basically, damage produces damage, never healing. There is another point which is overlooked, and that is that everyone with a personality disorder is on the same spectrum yet at different points, meaning, a narcissist can also have traces of borderline, psychopath, and even autism (many narcissists hide under the label of autistic!). One is never purely narcissist or purely autistic, there are shades. Same goes for 'victims' on the receiving end. When someone has PTSD as a result of narcissistic or other type of abuse, that person is never again 'normal'. Either one goes in and out of stages, or progresses in one or another direction, but no one is ever again completely "free", or "sane" after experiencing any kind of trauma or abuse. I come from what is considered a loving, normal family. I always considered myself strong and content with life. I was never labelled with any personality disorder, however, after the narcissist, I was diagnosed with "moderate depression" (labels that the system assigns without having a clue on what's really going on unless they have experienced it themselves). Significant is to note also that, as an artist, I tend to be of what's called the "schizoid" end, away from what most people consider reality, a dreamer, and idealist, hence a perfect prey for a narc.

A good point @DaleP, that I'd like to touch upon: Do all "empaths" have narc parents? In my experience, no, that's actually the opposite. It is most narc children (or with other personality disorders, such as bipolar, borderline or psychopathic traits) who have narc parents, as they develop trauma and broken/wounded personalities as a result of their abuse. It takes a very strong soul to "see it" and most importantly, break through.

"I can be myself with you" is something I also hear often. No, I think you're explaining it very well :)

Agreed.

I also relate. Also, the greatest narcissists are mentors, psychologists, doctors, teachers, gurus... and public figures who are meant to 'lead' others somehow. Which makes it even worse for many reasons. And yes, as empaths/light bearers, we have to learn to work on those boundaries, and in my view it is precisely thanks to experiencing the narcissist that we get the chance to truly change that. I can say today that I have achieved it. We wouldn't have changed if it wasn't for them in our lives. The narc is different, though, they don't change by being in the presence of our love, on the contrary, they become even worse.

Like @BornFreeNowAgain, I'll say the same thing to you, @RobinJ, that I didn't believe in evil as a thing, until the narcissist came in my life. Example: narcissist's mother dies, and in a split second, the narcissist says: "what an inconsiderate thing of you to do mum, to die without my permission". No emotion. No empathy, nothing. Another narcissist I know left his partner for dead on a car accident, she got off the car and left her man inside without calling an ambulance or saying anything to anyone. The narcissist hurts you, makes you cry inconsolably, then asks you why you're crying, then blames you for crying, then makes him/herself the victim saying you've hurt him/her with the same thing he/she's hurt you. The worst thing is that everyone believes them, and not you. If this is not hell, I don't know what is. As I said in the beginning, one has to live it to believe it. And society tends to not believe things that are too far-fetched to be believed, and so people tend to call crazy, deluded, paranoid, etc, those who are on the receiving end of the abuse.

This is very true. In my experience, the narcissist attracts always people who give him one of these 3 things: narcissistic supply (attention, adulation, etc), sex, material things or services. To them, relationships are business transactions. They are incapable of positive emotions (including love, of course). Empaths and givers have it all for the narc. But narcs also feel attracted to borderlines, as borderlines have strong attatchment issues and they need a "god figure" to "protect them", and the narcissist portrays this very well with their grandiosity and false self. To me, it's a lot about light/darkness, the narcissist being the darkness and the empath being the light, both need each other in order to have meaning in life. The purpose of the narc is to take, and the purpose of the empath is to give.

Unless I'm wrong, it surprises me that there isn't yet a thread dedicated to Narcissism, which to me is key to the state of our current world. Before I start, please read this disclaimer: Most people confuse Narcissism with having narcissistic traits, or with being 'egotistic' or 'only thinking of themselves'. True Narcissism is way, way beyond these little traits, and ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH A NARCISSIST KNOW what they are and what they do. So, if you haven't been involved with a narcissist, I'd ask you to please be kind and respectful with what I am going to say, and ask any questions you may have. All my partners have had somehow narcissistic traits, but I have been in a relationship with a real one, a real narcissist, and I have done a lot of research and different therapy modalities to understand what had happened to me while being with the narc. The narcissist is someone with no ego (ego, as defined in psychoanalysis). That means they have an empty core, so they need constant supply from others, mirroring them and having multiple masks depending on what the other person is going to give them. They not only take all they can from others, they also make sure to destroy them afterwards. The narcissist also loses 90% of his memory, so the person they are today is not the same person they are tomorrow, so they can't keep promises, let alone commitments. When you show the narc the proof of what they said or did the day before, they will say you're deluded, crazy and they'll call you a liar, and they'll think you're trying to manipulate them. They're never wrong. You are. Also, the narcissist lacks love. They don't know what love is because they never had it, so whenever they bump into someone who loves them, they don't know how to handle it and they think the person is trying to manipulate them, and because of their own foreign feelings of true love, they feel threatened and try to anihilate the very person they love, in order not to feel those feelings that they cannot control. They need to always control everything. They live in a permanent fantasy that they create in order to avoid themselves, and whoever represents reality and truth is seen as the enemy, as much as that same person might have been the "love of their lives" one fine day, etc. So their psyche is inverted, the same as the psychopath, same as evil, same as what David Icke calls "inverted consciousness". They go against love, against truth, and against what is. And one never wins with them. They make the person they are with lose their mind, render them invisible, and one ends up unrecognizable, unable to find oneself, lost, as a zombie plodding along. The narc has a subtle way of entraining your brain in order to make you become like them, so subtly that you don't recognise who is who, they need to create an innanimate object of you in their mind, and they interact with that idealised object they've created, not with the real you. In their minds, you don't have autonomy, and when you snap out of that fantasy they have created and show the narc reality, they call you false, traitor, manipulator, etc. I wonder if the narc is an adaptation to our current system, as there seems to be more and more narcissists apparently... our society is becoming more and more narcissist, it's all about AI, separation, deshumanization... What experiences have you had with narcissists? I'll be happy to answer any questions based on my experience.

One thing that makes people 'centered' and 'wise' is to live in nature out of necessity, and not by choice. I grew up in a humble countryside village and we bred a couple of animals and planted our food, not because it was trendy or a good choice, or to make business, but because we needed it to live. We had no other thing. Nature teaches everything, it makes people centered and content because it teaches us responsibility for our actions. The problem with our society is the massive disconnect from nature. Then, afterwards, after seeing the world, I always saw the incongruency of WHY we do this (artificial constructs that separate us from our core) to ourselves and never really bothered to fit in because I knew the truth. Aside from this human upbringing, I was always 'in my world', as everyone used to say, seeing things from an 'above' perspective, like flying over a map and seeing the dots connected, whereas most people just see what's immediately after their noses. @RobinJ made a good point too, creators, or creative/artistic people see the world not from the material, but from the 'other' places. The material is just a small thing :) We're often misunderstood, rejected and condemned. But I accept that as part of who I am. It's a strength.
