After something ‘bad’ has happened, it can be normal for the mainstream media to assess what has happened through the lens of victim/perpetrator. One person or persons will be victims, while another person or persons will be perpetrators.
​
It might not end there though, as this source might say that the former is inherently a victim and the latter is inherently a perpetrator. This will mean that one person has absolutely no control and the other has complete control.
The same message
It won’t stop there either, as different politicians and public figures will also come out with the same point of view. Indeed, pervasive as this perspective is, it could be said to be part of the very fabric of society.
Therefore, if someone questions this point of view, they can be considered to be ‘out of touch’ with reality, for example. Of course, there will be plenty of people who have experiences that support the view that they are powerless victims.
The dramatic triangle
Naturally, when someone sees himself in this way, he is going to need someone ‘out there’ to protect him and provide him with what he needs. They will look like adults but, being a victim, they will have as much control over their life as a child over theirs.
Fortunately, the government will be there to protect them and give them what they need. So, in the same way that a child will feel powerful identifying with her parents, one will feel powerful identifying with this entity.
a strange scene
So, as a result of seeing oneself as a victim, someone may vicariously experience a sense of control. Furthermore, thanks to the current climate, they may even see themselves as morally superior to others.
This is because, since someone like that will be seen to have no control over their life, they will be better than those who harm them. So while they may live a miserable existence, at least they won’t cause harm.
The other part
Along with this, these different sources also spend a lot of time talking about “empowerment.” How ironic, this being something that is the antithesis of seeing oneself as a victim.
To use an analogy: it’s a bit like telling those who are held captive how free they are. Perhaps the only way this would work is if these people had become so accustomed to their surroundings that they actually believed they were free.
a fake version
Clearly, it is not possible for someone to see themselves as a victim and be an empowered human being; It’s one or the other. They will have to decide if they want to be powerless or powerful.
If, then, someone is being encouraged to see themselves as a victim and being heard about the importance of “empowering themselves”, then something is wrong. Instead of being truly empowered, they are encouraged to be empowered through an external source.
see behind the curtain
True empowerment is something that someone will gain from within and by realizing that they are a co-creator of their reality rather than a passive observer who is detached from what is happening externally. You will understand that what you experience is partly the result of what is going on in your conscious mind and mostly the result of what is going on in your conscious mind.
When the above is not discussed, it would probably be correct to say that one, along with one’s fellow man, is being manipulated. By telling you that you are inherently a victim, you have been cut off from your true power, and now this same source will provide you with a false version of it.
a child state
One will be an adult but will have as much control as a child; however, they will not look to their parents to experience control, they will look to the government and other entities. Undoubtedly, this will not benefit citizens, but what it will do is facilitate their control.
If a government or any other entity really wanted to truly empower the citizenry, they would not promote the victim mentality. One does not need to be a psychologist to see that this entity or any other has an ulterior motive, or is stuck at a level of consciousness that is too low, and the main priority is to maintain and grow its influence, not encourage it. people are truly empowered and self-sufficient.
it’s addictive
The problem is that although seeing oneself as a victim will not allow one to have a fulfilling existence, it does not mean that one can simply leave it behind. First of all, they, along with their brain, can be so strongly attached to seeing themselves this way that letting go can be like trying to give up alcohol or smoking.
Second, it may take a while for them to develop the self-awareness to see how their outer world mirrors their inner world. Also, if they have a weak ego structure and have a lot of toxic shame, it can be incredibly difficult for them to take responsibility without falling into a pit of self-loathing, which is why the defense known as guilt is so common. .
final thoughts
If it were widely known that human beings have both a conscious and an unconscious mind and that it is what is in their second mind that co-creates most of what they experience, it would be much easier for someone to see that they are not. . inherently a victim. This is not to say that they will not unconsciously manifest situations and circumstances in which they are victimized.
However, manifesting situations and circumstances, where one is victimized, is very different from being a powerless victim. Sometimes someone may need to really suffer before they “wake up” and begin the journey of embracing their inherent power.
