Sandys Editorial for September 2019

 

Hello Everyone,

I've been doing some deep thinking and getting a lot of big downloads from my Guides about a very important subject. The subject is empathy.

Specifically, I've been getting deep insights about the havoc this psychic ability we all have is currently creating in our society and in fact, all over the world. It amazes me that only now, when empathy is creating so many enormous problems, are psychologists and other scientists beginning to explore it as a human attribute we all have and need to recognize and learn to handle.

We psychics have always known how important empathy, and its sister ability, telepathy, is. Now it's time for everyone to recognize that these abilities are shared be everyone.

Frankly, our empathy is out of control right now. That's why my last few psychic development tips have been about recognizing and controlling your empathy.


It's important for you to accept that you have empathy and that you need to learn to control it - or it will control you.


Have you ever listened to a friend complaining, and felt almost compelled to take action to fix their problem? Have you ever listened to a newscast that left you in a foul or even angry mood for the rest of the day? Have you ever followed a thread on your favorite social network and found yourself getting all worked up about something that didn't even interest you before you began reading? Have you felt the need to run out and buy a product after watching a commercial that sucked you in so completely that you just knew you couldn't do without it?


These are just a few examples of 'receptive empathy'. Empathy, the ability to 'feel' the emotions of others, comes in both a receptive and a generative form. Most people are naturally receptive empaths. We receptive empaths are particularly vulnerable to the hard sell that grabs our emotions. I have clients that donate thousands of dollars a year to animal rescue and children's hospital charities, while they struggle to put food on their own tables. The more warm and caring the voice on the commercial is, and the more graphic the photographs of the children or animals are, the more difficult it is for them to look away, to do the math that says 'not this month'.

Those people are falling under the 'spell' of marketers who understand all too well how to play on people's 'receptive empathy' nerve.


But this issue doesn't stop with TV commercials. We all have some family member or friend who knows how to zoom in on the most caring and receptive people when they need something.

Even though we know they are a user who doesn't pay their debts, we still have trouble saying no to their artful and emotional expression of need.

Note: I am NOT talking about the person who almost never asks for anything and finally comes to you for help after trying every possible other avenue and is honestly desperate. THAT is where we SHOULD be using our empathy! As a matter of fact, once we learn to use our receptive empathy as a tool, we will immediately know the difference between these two people and we will never again feel guilt about saying 'NO' to those who might seek to use us!


The reason this problem of empathy has become one of such major importance though, is that the uncontrolled and unconscionable use of 'projective empathy' is succoring in the world's receptive empaths by the milliions. Projective empathy is used by those marketers who put together the tear-jerker commercials you can't say 'NO' to. Their job is not to make sure the charity is real, but to get people to donate. And they know how to play on the emotions of receptive empaths.


Far worse than that are the newscasters who are actually selected for their positions based upon their appearance, voice quality, magnetism, and ability to move an audience. Receptive empaths are primarily receptive to sound vibration, to the quality and meter of someone's voice, even the music and and the sounds of newsclips that are chosen for a program.

Secondly they are receptive to visuals. And of course all receptive empaths are moved by the actual magnetic attraction of the newscaster. Most of these positions are held by people who are both generative AND receptive empaths. They are able to READ what their audience's mood is via their receptive empathy, and able to LEAD their audience using their projective or generative empathy.


Scary, isn't it? When you begin to see today's newscasters and even many politicians in this light, after a few shocked breaths you also begin to see just how completely you, and indeed all of us, are being manipulated by people who are weilding a power far greater than they can understand.


Is it any wonder why a young emotionally receptive empathic person listening to newscasters bully and berrate a certain group of people for months might take sides and decide to act out what is being suggested? Or that this same empathically receptive person should choose to follow a charismatic projective empath who leads a terrorist group?


Now you see what has been causing me this deep introspection folks. We can all see this happening in our world on every level, from family, to community, to nations. The world is in an uproar of finger pointing and bullying with the generative empaths gleefully doing the button pushing and the receptive empaths thoughtlessly following wherever their emotions of the moment lead them.


Sanity will not return until all of us, and that does mean YOU, become self responsible. jWe all need to learn to always take full responsibility for our own actions. Therefore you must slow down and think about your actions before you take them.

Always ask yourself - are you about to do what YOU really want to do, or are you reacting to a friend's, family member's, group leader's, newscaster's, politician's, or other person's 'button pushing'? Take the time to research what you hear. Look for proof. Seeing is believing. Learn to think for yourself.

And most importantly, understand that your empathy, your ability to feel what another person is feeling, is not entended to subvert you into that other person's way of looking at things - it is a tool for you to help you to better understand that person.

When you use your empathy in that way, it becomes a wonderful tool that helps you to get along better with other people, not go to war with them.

Love and Light,
Sandy Anastasi
