Choosing sadness

[native]

The victim role is in line with the martyr, which is an overbalance of heart chakra energy. Maybe you are constantly giving of yourself but not allowing a return of energy, or not using discernment/wisdom to learn how to say no or sever ties with the one in the abuser role.

I agree in a way. What's interesting is that many people who are unhappy and do find themselves stuck in that state early in life are actually very giving people. I was one of them, in that I was born with an extremely open heart only to discover that the world seemingly wants nothing to do with such empathy and sensitivity.

But the irony of the situation is that the open heart and innate understanding is actually causing the conflict. The mind tells itself that others don't "get it", and so it closes itself off as it encounters apparent darkness. This seems to be one example of groping in the moonlight that Ra refers to, and where adepts apparently get stuck. But what's interesting is that this incarnational pattern must be preferred or even required depending on why you're here, because it offers the opportunity of streamlining balance since it can kick-start the seeking process. It's a blessing in disguise.

"As we have said, this instrument, feeling that it lacked compassion to balance wisdom, chose an incarnative experience whereby it was of necessity placed in situations of accepting self in the absence of other-selves’ acceptance and the acceptance of other-self without expecting a return or energy transfer. This is not an easy program for an incarnation but was deemed proper by this entity."
