A new addiction has arisen among those entering higher levels of evolution: To live vicariously through others’ emotional responses. Because so much of man’s reality starts feeling so meaningless, it’s harder to find joy in its activities. But because we are fully empathic / telepathic, if we make them happy, we can feel it vicariously. This doesn’t mean we need to stifle generosity, but just to change our attitude. We have to search for new sources of joy.
Thank you Almine for this self-supportive message.

“Self-supportive qualities of real nature benefit all life”
I really needed to hear this as well as the responses. I have been trying to understand/clarify what I have been seeing feeling is happening with a dear friend. This helps confirm my suspicions of whts going on and clarifies. Now the question is, how do you help/get one to see that is happening to them? How do you gently bring this to their attentiin without building walls or putting them on defense or having them reject what is said nd not even look at possibiite of wht maybe happening and then they think ou are crazy yet I can see how it is creating unrest and unhealthiness and false reality. Feeling sad.
So True. I think my family has gotten used to my non-emotional responses now. I find the most joy in being in nature. Even touching the grown grass with my feet brings great bliss. 🙂
This has always been the case. There has always been the need to recognise that true happiness comes from within and that whilst we too can feel pleasure when others are happy there emotion is not ours in the same way that when working with clients their trauma is not ours. That place of inner peace and serenity is our core and the place from which we can experience joy on our own behalf. Sometimes simple things like taking the time to ‘look through the eyes of the child’ and view those things around us with fresh eyes can restore balance. 🙂
It is a very interesting post to read, as I have been feeling as if I am walking on clouds with happiness after having been with a client – something to think about consciously –
The wonderful thing is that my world has become, as Charles mentioned, Technicolor, and everything has a clarity and golden shadow around as if it had just rained and all the plants are photosynthesizing, just multiplied –
Abundance in my immediate environment is at a peak, starting from something as overlooked as clearing an entire pond area of absolutely every arum lily and all bulbs, and a couple of months later, the area (approximately 7 x 6 meters), is dense again with new lily plants – in that same expression of unlimited abundance, all in my life is multiplying – what an amazing journey with Almine, my deepest Love, Praise, Gratitude and Surrendered Trust always –
I suppose finding new sources of enjoyment is the result of finding your own inspiration within.
My inspiration is the journey we are all following with Almine 😉
Fully agreed. Almine is insightful here again, as always. This other-directedness is not only vicarious, but can inatttentively (and seductively) become a slippery slope to personal development and, to that said “new sources of joy”. Manyness and Oneness is a “dynamic”, not an either/or., or more of this. and less of that. Others’ emotional responses are “responses” — don’t eat and feed them !
thank you, so true
I cannot find the color in anything anymore ):
Don’t despair Clair … this fading of colors, ennervating as it is, heralds a catthartic prelude to a higher level acuity once the mist lfts. Been down there, felt it and lived it … and came out in technicolor. Stay with it lovingly and patiently, without hoping or trusting or believing …. but rather KNOWING it’s gonna be alright. And it is.
Thanks for that eloquent affirmation, Charles!
Almine, I feel like this message is talking to me.
Thank you for your service and love ❤.
