Never allow your past TRAUMA to run your life.

Something recently popped into my mind during one of my deep thinking sessions, which I have to say has been a common activity for me recently. I believe I may have had a brainwave about MENTAL TRAUMA. It came to me as I'd been recently coming to grips with the reasons behind certain peoples' erratic, despicable and deplorable behaviour. If we dig deep enough we'd find that they engage in such behaviour mainly out of TWO main reasons. 

ONE: They too were the victims of similar behaviour either from their parents, their siblings, and everyone else around them whom they were forced to follow when they were children. And rather than realizing that they could do exactly the opposite and be better, they conform to their surroundings and eventually BECOME them.

TWO: It's their nature. What a relatively composed human being would consider despicable and low-level behaviour is their "NORMAL". It is the "LEVEL" at which their minds function and it is quite possible that it is physically impossible for them to "level up". This is what an intellectual would call a "Low-Vibrational Individual".

To be fair, both reasons stem from the realm of lower vibrations. Even the ones that conform to the first reason are of lower vibration because they ultimately CHOSE to stay as their low vibrational peers instead of taking the higher road. So the TRUE underlying reason is LOW-VIBRATIONAL THINKING. And if we dig deeper, we'll find that the reason they didn't take the very difficult steps of leveling up, is because of their FEAR. But that's another discussion entirely.

Back to the part about TRAUMA. I found that most people I have encountered who have mental trauma (including myself), are in that position because they thought better/higher of the world around them and when they found out in a very cruel, bitter and soul-crushing moment that it actually wasn't, they fall into a deep depression. In that moment, they are TRAUMATIZED. Then depending on their individual characteristics, they may choose to lash out in anger and rage (more often internally than outwardly), OR to bury their feelings deep within to the point of believing that they are nothing more than a pointless speck of sand on the beach.

All this is information that any psychoanalyst from any specialization would tell you. But now here comes the part that I had a brainwave over: 

What if the reason people have trouble getting over their trauma is that they STILL haven't come to terms with the fact that they REALLY are SPECIAL? That they are in fact the crème de la crème of the mentally and emotionally developed human beings in this world? What if they're constantly yelling at themselves in their minds, fighting what they think are demons from the past in the form of abusive parents, teachers, siblings, partners, bullies or the like when in fact, they are ACTUALLY fighting their own self-made PROJECTIONS of those demons. In other words, they are fighting THEMSELVES! What if their trauma can simply be erased with the simple acknowledgment that they are in fact HIGH-VIBRATIONAL THINKING beings?

Of course, the acknowledgement part is the trick. It's not easy to self-acknowledge, to know for absolute certainty that you are in fact BETTER than "THEM", to be a "HIGHER-DIMENSIONAL" being and therefore conceptually closer to "GOD". To fully acknowledge such a feat and NOT turn into an annoying, self-centered, self-righteous know-it-all is a miracle in its own right! So what do we do? We either turn silent or deny it outright! 

But here's the kicker: the reason why THEY traumatized you in the first place is because in THEIR own way THEY KNOW this about you. Deep down they KNOW you are better/higher, and they just CANNOT stand it! So what do they do? They indulge in low-level, despicable behaviour to bring you DOWN to THEIR level. And if you're not a self-aware, self acknowledging individual (which is highly likely given that you were a child or in your youth when the trauma happened), then they will absolutely bring you DOWN!

So the trick is to KNOW BETTER! To know you really are something special! To know that you are a higher-level and higher vibrating individual! To know that THEY didn't stand a chance against you mentally and emotionally and that's why they resorted to such sad, pathetic and low-level attacks on your character. To know that THEY never deserved you and that you definitely don't NEED THEM! In that moment of KNOWING, you are FREE of your trauma!

I sincerely believe this to be TRUE!
