Dealing with Betrayal on the Spiritual Path 🥲

18/12/2023 Shift Update: Dealing with Betrayal
It seems like Betrayal is coming up with a "vengeance" for people in the Openhand community. No surprises. It's a huge wound to overcome on the path. And personally speaking, I can say, it's a difficult one to unravel and work through - get used to it, because it's most likely to happen to us all at some point. Why so?
The most important question for everyone to consider in such circumstances is,
"Why did I manifest it?"
Because indeed, just like all events and circumstances of our Soul's journey, we co-create everything.
Consider that people come together in friendship, partnership or family groups. We'll all feel a loving commitment to people. And we get so familiar with people, that there tends to form an energetic body of expectation between us. In that, after some time, you kind of expect the other person to behave in a particular way. Crucially then, you stop always honouring how you really feel in different engagements with them. There's a tendency to "turn a blind eye" in key circumstances.
Now, bear in mind that the Soul is here to fulfill its journey. The risk is that as the ego identity, you may have made commitments you can't actually honour. Likewise, those around you who are in relation to you. At some point then, the commitment of the Soul will cause them to break the promises. Indeed, you may even have a Soul-Contract with people to do exactly that. It's so that we learn to always be authentic and truthful in our engagements with people.
In truth then, it is actually not possible to be "betrayed by another". We betray ourselves - because we're not fully honouring the truth of the Soul in authentic expression.
Every time I've experienced this happening to me, and there have been one or two deeply poigant ones, I've found it greatly healing to ask, "Why did I manifest that? How did I betray myself?"
It makes it easier and speedier to process through.
I offer the view for your contemplation and healing where you feel you might have been betrayed. Regress into the experiences, feel the tightness, which is often in the sacrum or solar plexus, and then take ownership. Knowing that you manifested it, let go through the tightness, feel the integration of soul, and then ask, what new aspect of Beingness or awareness is ready to come awake in you?
