Empathetic Dilemma
by The Pleiadian Light
channeled through Hannah Beaconsfield (USA)

It is the nature of the transform-ational process to break down barriers between levels of consciousness and to alter perceptions. One of the barriers that begins to weaken is the division between what you call "me and thee."

The rising sense of the spirit aspect that links you all as portions of one whole, also allows you to access more of another person s reality. On the bright side, it serves to diminish judgment and promote tolerance. On the down side, it make it possible to pick up other people s feelings, including illness symptoms and un-happy emotions.

For walk-ins, there may be the additional dilemma of coming from a world or a dimension in which there are no barriers. All are recognized as portions of the Universal Energy. Therefore, opening to Earth energies in an empathetic way can be even more intense for spirit replacements.

To the "caretaker" part of the consciousness, the one that monitors daily living and is sustained through the walk-in process, the empathetic onslaught can be very disturbing.

A reason why empathy is a concomitant of transformation and spiritual growth is that the old ways of testing and evaluating reality have been in your head. The dominant process has used the intellect and deductive reasoning. Even intuitive material accessed through the right brain presented itself as pictures, as images of reality, to be interpreted by the intellect.

The transformational process opens the evaluation of reality to feelings as the means of perception. The different subtle sensations that you have come to call "good vibes" or "bad vibes" are part of this growth process. There is also the gauging of options by feelings about what to do. What is happening is that there is an integration of the masculine-type processes (thinking) and the feminine-type processes (feeling) of perceiving. The female aspect is reawakening as an equal force and you are perceiving through feelings on many new levels. As this skill opens, there is an influx of data that can be difficult to handle.

One area is the acquisition of empathetic abilities. Empaths have always had one of the most difficult psychic skills. The difficulty arises because the emerging empathetic abilities confuse the empath as to what is theirs.

When you begin to pick up information from other people as feelings, they seem just like your own. The same is true of picking up physical symptoms. You can be tormented with thoughts like, "Am I sick?" "Am I crazy?" The inability to distinguish between yours and theirs could conceivably "drive you crazy."

So, how do you learn to tell the difference? Telling the difference is an experiential process. It may take you some time to distinguish with confidence, but there is always something you can do.

You can address the problem and clear it. This may entail healing physical pain. It doesn t matter whose pain it is, it can be processed and released. This is not a form of interference. It is more like a recognition of your participation in the whole and sharing the work that needs to be done.

Treat the feelings or symptoms just as you would your own illness or pain. This is the gift empaths give. They take on some of the work for others and do it for them. First you give yourself the nourishment of self love, then proceed with any energy clearing processes with which you feel aligned and that you trust.

One way of gauging what is empathetically taken on is that it usually clears more quickly than the problems you are working on as an adjusting walk-in.

Empaths are the "Good Samaritans" of the metaphysical world. They are the ones that say, "Here, let me help you carry that load," or "Let me help you do some of that work." They know they have the capacity and the strength to handle this type of assistance.

The dilemma for the empath occurs when these skills first start to surface. With the acceleration of the transformation process, many are awakening these new abilities now. The confusion as to why strange symptoms and feelings are occurring to them, can be a very disturbing experience.

We will say that once the concept is presented to them, empaths are quick to recognize their identities. Then the conflicts, which are so disturbing, can recede.

The empath can recognize that their desire to be of service to others is manifested in this way and find peace in their Good Samaritan roles.
