Resurfacing Of The Victim Archetype

The world is changing and things are shifting at a rapid rate. The universe is experiencing tremendous growth as we move into higher states of consciousness and the old destructive masculine systems are collapsing as the divine feminine is returning.  This is truly a wonderful time to be here and there is so much to experience, learn and connect with as we collectively experience this spiritual expansion.

As with all cycles of change, there is a letting go process that must fully happen in order to welcome in the new.  For many, this step will be challenging as we 

shift collectively and are forced to let go of old paradigms and anything not in alignment with this new energy.  For some people, this process will challenge you to the core of your being and you’ll feel as if you don’t know how to “be” anymore.  If you’re unwilling to take a leap of faith and trust what the universe has in store for you, you may find yourself indulging in old familiar identities, roles and personas and clinging to them. 

I’ve been observing that many people are identifying with one of these energetic archetypes called Victim.   I believe this is happening due to intense personal fear, confusion and not knowing how to exist during these times. 

Let’s take a look at the victim archetype and how this energy behaves and expresses.  Here’s a general description:
  • The lowest level of energy and awareness.
  • Lack of awareness of sense of responsibility for your circumstances.
  • Experiencing your life at the mercy of external forces that you work against.
  • You feel that this, that and the other thing, “happened to me”.
  • Blaming others for your problems.
  • Unwillingness to look at yourself and see how you contribute to your life circumstances.
  • Running the “my crisis is your crisis” energy and expecting others to pick up your slack.
  • Inability to provide self-care and lovingly nourish yourself.
  • Disconnection from your physical body and feelings.
  • Loss of grounding and contact with reality.

Why would someone exit in this state or choose to slip back into it?  For many people this is familiar and comfortable so the idea of trying something else puts them in great resistance.  This unhealthy energy tells you that you don’t have to take any personal responsibility and accountability.  You say to yourself that your unhappiness is the world’s fault and you’re a victim of essentially anything negative in your life.  Victimhood is an excuse to not participate in your personal growth and a way to duck responsibility.  You carry around a belief that things happen to you and you are simply an innocent bystander in the whole situation.  Your husband cheated on you because he’s an awful person.  You got fired because your boss is a mean and unfair person, etc. 

Suffering occurs in this state because victims believe all choices have been taken away from them and their fate is completely outside of their control.  There is a major lack of empowerment with this energetic state as the victim is totally reliant on external things such as a partner, family, or group of people, and disconnected from their inner core of feelings. 
When you hand over the reins to something or someone else, then you potentially invite more negativity and continue to swirl in your victimhood energy.   There’s an initial comfort with this archetype, just like when you put on your favorite shoes.  Aaaah…they fit perfectly and look great and over time they conform to your feet and feel amazing.   After some time has passed, those shoes become worn, stretched out and outdated and it’s time to be brave and toss them out and replace with a new pair that suits you now.   For the victim type, this may be very difficult to do.  They may do many things to try and make those shoes work until they are forced to buy new ones.  

The good news is there is hope for those with an attachment to being a victim.  You can change, take back your personal power, and create the life you want.  Here are some ideas on ways to pull yourself out of this unhealthy state of being and move into a healthy one. 
  • Create Your Life:  Take responsibility for your attitudes and ideas.  You must be willing to revisit how you perceive things and realize life doesn’t just “happen to you”, that you are a full participant and creator of your life circumstances.  Sure there are some things you came here to learn and grow from and there’s stuff like free will and karmic lessons for some.  One of the universal truths is that your external world is a reflection of your internal world.  The lower vibration you run the more negative your world is.   Denial is also connected to this energy and way to pretend everything is okay to keep you stuck.
  • Get Uncomfortable:  Part of growth and learning is to be uncomfortable.   It’s new territory for you.  You don’t have personal examples to fall back on.  You’re opening yourself up and illuminating new areas within yourself and it can feel just plan icky.  Some of these spaces may be very dark and areas you avoid looking at for fear of what might be there.  Take steps to get out of your comfort zone and move forward, even if you’re shaking inside.  Do it anyway.  And remind yourself all is okay, this is new for you and getting it perfect is not your goal.
  • Live In The Now:  In order to receive and fully benefit from the new awakening energy that is here, in the now, in this moment, you must be willing to drop the victimhood persona and know that this is simply an illusion and not the real you.  Stop ruminating over the past, worrying about the future and playing mental gymnastics in your head about what you don’t have, what you want and making changes over and over again in the hopes that you’ll finally be happy.  Slow down, breathe, appreciate what you have now and let yourself soak in this feel good energy.  Repeat this regularly and experience the magic of being in the moment.  You will experience far more in this state and help yourself ground.
  • Ground Yourself:  Get out of your head and into your body.  This allows you to experience pleasure and pain and connect with your feelings.  From here you learn to discharge the accumulated emotional energy of your daily life.  Grounding allows things to flow vs. become stagnant and this increases your life force energy, improves your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.  This helps you stay grounded in reality, with a greater ability to discern what you want, create it and physically manifest it into the earth.  Connecting with the powerful healing and life vitality energy of Mother Earth is very powerful! 

We all deserve to be here, each of us is capable of amazing things and we are not defined by how we’ve been in the past.  Let go of anything that does not serve your Higher Self and know that you are loved.  Live in the now, enjoy all that is in front of you, and create an amazing life for YOU!
