Do you want to know your future? Then know yourself!
I will add to this: if you want to know your future, create it! -Anastasia
Last week I was poking you with the Prostitute and her attribute on the state you are right now.
But it does not end there 😱 because this is a sequence of different roles exchanging the stage eternally unless we start knowing ourselves.
The archetype of the Victim is a timeless character in the theater of human psychology. Most of the time, it doesn’t come alone but in an interwitted combination with the Prostitute.
Going on reading, I want you to remember where you put your Faith. Is your Faith placed in sickness, powerlessness, external events, resentment, or poverty, or is it placed on the unspeakable Power you have, the inner connection with God as the Doer through YOU? God is whatever you believe as God. No religion attached. Is the Spark of Life inside You, the ONE that says you exist, and THAT itself is YOUR POWER, the magic, and all you need to Thrive.
Now close your eyes for a moment and imagine two characters on the stage of life: the Victim and the Warrior. Both face the same storm yet dance to different tunes. Today, we delve into this dance, a hypnotic waltz between powerlessness and empowerment, excuses and actions.
The ancient Greek president of Delphi inscribed the maxim "Know Thyself" on the Temple of Apollo.
The man who knows himself, his own Being, the container of his thoughts, ideas, and attitudes, also knows his own future, for our psychology is our destiny.
Picture the Victim as a character, always at the mercy of the gods, fate, or other external forces. In this script, life is a series of misfortunes, and the protagonist believes they have no power to change their circumstances. It's as if they're chained inside Plato's cave, seeing only the shadows of reality. This mindset is rooted in a belief of powerlessness, where external circumstances are viewed as the puppeteers of one’s destiny.
Now, envision the opposite:
The Creator or Warrior. This is like the hero in the Spartan tales, valiant and undeterred. They grasp the reins of life firmly, believing in their power to shape their destiny. They see challenges as opportunities to grow and battles to be won. Where the Victim sees a wall, the Creator sees a canvas; where the Victim sees a storm, the Warrior sees a test of their resolve.
OUR MISSION: Create Sovereign Humans with a toolbox of techniques and guidance to gain control over your choices and actions, leading to desired outcomes.
The Victim is a character scripted by circumstance. "I am powerless," they whisper, a mantra echoing in the caverns of their mind. The Victim sees life as a tempest, themselves merely a leaf in its gale. But what if I told you this tempest is an illusion, a mirage crafted by the mind?
The Warrior is a luminous figure, a sculptor of destiny. They gaze at the same storm and see not a tempest but a symphony. "I am the composer," they declare, their voice a melody of conviction. In their world, every challenge is a note in their opus, and every setback is a pause before the crescendo.
The Excuse Echoes: "I can't because..." how often have we heard or uttered these words? These are the Victim's lyrics, a song of self-imposed limits. Like hypnotists' subtle suggestions, they lull us into a trance of inertia.
Bla, bla, bla …. inner dialogue of excuses and all the reasons the poor you cannot be, do or have what you want.
How does this sound to You? As the truth?
Swap "I can't because..." with "I can even if...". This isn't mere wordplay; it's a powerful incantation that transforms the energy of your thoughts.
MEA CULPA
I want to introduce you to the most important concept ever. If you understand and incorporate it into your life, Success and happiness will be inevitable.
Mea Culpa. This Latin phrase, translating to "through my fault," is not just a mere admission of wrongdoing but a profound dance of acknowledgment and transformation. It is a key that unlocks doors to personal growth and authentic connections.
It goes beyond a simple apology. It's an introspective waltz, a soulful tune that resonates with acknowledging one's own missteps and impacts. It's a courageous act of looking inward, shining a light into the corners of our ego and pride, and recognizing our human fallibility.
IT IS PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR LIVES.
That’s the Warrior.
Mea Culpa, in essence, is like a mirror held up to our soul, reflecting not just our actions but the intentions and choices behind them. It’s the acknowledgment that we misguide our life.
And that there are no external events that can happen without consent. (conscious or unconscious)
Closing Thoughts
In conclusion, Mea Culpa is not an admission of guilt; it's a powerful affirmation of personal responsibility. It's a tool for transforming our relationships with others and our relationship with ourselves.
It’s a compass that guides us toward greater self-awareness, accountability, and personal growth.
There are a lot of practices and exercises to get out of the Victim mentality and jump into your Warrior essence. But none of them is more powerful than the conscious practice of MEA CULPA as a driving force and catalyst for transformation and Success.
