We all want to learn about ourselves… Knowledge is power. Understanding allows us to make sense of why things happen the way they do.
We are going to learn a new word that expresses a feeling that you have collapsed, you have confused with others… to end up with no clarity. There are about a thousand words in the English language like that.
Most of them are manipulated to misguide you.
One of the gems I’ve mined from the book ‘Feelings‘ is isolating a particular feeling, the orienting feeling of distaste.
Why should simple mortals read this book?’ you may ask.
Because it can help you find your way in the world, one of the many individual worlds, but the only world that exists for you as well: the world of feelings – the world of your feelings.
Distaste has wide range. What is present in any range is a slight desire to vomit. You feel it going from the stomach to the throat and back.
That is the essence of distaste. It is a feeling that indicates: purge because it is not good for you. Whatever the ‘it’ is…
Distaste is very useful when it comes to food.
It is not simply ‘I don’t like the taste of this‘… It talks about nausea.
The food industry carefully designs and composes foods that are harmful for consumption. They cover, mix, and mask the distasteful stuff they want us to eat by salt, sugar and fat. So you don’t taste the harmful stuff and therefore the orienting feeling: distaste can’t orient you. So you eat the harmful stuff.
Remember the scene in The Matrix where the rebels are eating some disgusting looking goop? And contrast it with the steak the traitor eats in The Matrix. The difference is computer graphic…
The same treatment the food industry uses, is used everywhere, in politics, self-growth, guru culture… Similarly to the distasteful foods… I can feel the the mixing, and masking of the distasteful elements… because I am a true empath. True empath simply means: trained.
And even though every empath, there are eight thousand empaths in the world when I write this, even though every empath can feel, few empaths know what they feel, few empaths master empathy, as a precise instrument, to glean information from the hidden, the masked, from the below the surface. To recognize things with astuteness. Astuteness increases with the rising vibration of the person, by the way.
Why doesn’t every empath feel everything accurately?
Because it is hard work, just like becoming a virtuoso on any musical instrument. And the rewards are doubtful and uncertain at best.
If you are a Paganini: you can perform for kings… but if you are a master empath: it is not obvious to the client whether you are a fraud or a master… Thousands of ’empaths’ and ‘psychics’ masquerade as such. They are sweet-talkers and talk you out of your money, because you believe them.
It’s easier to recognize mastery on the violin.
When I look into my history I have to talk about my mother. She died in 1995.
My mother, an empath herself, had a distaste for most things, and for most people in life. Her soul correction was ‘Long Range Vision’. She habitually acted on her distaste, even if she caused bad consequences on the long term.
One of the things she had a distaste for is money… something about money… maybe what it did to people? so it’s more a distaste for the people and their inner world… I think, probably greed?
And I ‘inherited’ this distaste: empaths entrain each other. See entrainment
By the way, empathy IS inherited. Not learned. If your mother wasn’t an empath, you are probably NOT an EMPATH.
The empathy of an empath is a lot like musical talent: you can become a Mozart, or you can become a songwriter… or someone who hums along. The different stages of musical talent…
Sometimes the gene jumps a generation: I have musical talent: I inherited it from my father’s father.
OK, but this article is not about musical talent, this article is about distaste.
Distaste is an orienting feeling. Orienting means: guiding. Guiding towards or guiding away from something.
There are a few orienting feelings, and distaste is one. Fear, trepidation is another. Desire, hunger are also orienting feelings.
Interestingly, when you ask your gut feeling to guide you, you always misinterpret the guidance.
In every instance when my students listened to their gut, they heard: stay put. Shrink.
Your gut will always tell you to shrink.
So you see, if your instrument is working, but you have the wrong code book to decode the feeling: you will be lead astray. Or you will be guided
- to stay the same… survive.
- Consume everything that is edible.
- Spend the money you have. All of it, because tomorrow may never come.
- Steal, lie, cheat. Skimp on work, cut corners.
- Never build anything. It’s not worth it. If you love something it will hurt if it is taken away. No, not if… when it is taken away.
OK, back to distaste:
For most, orienting feelings come from the genes. The Selfish Gene. The competing gene. The gene that wants ONLY your gene to survive in the gene pool.
It is also the gene that looks around and everything, every face, every behavior that is not like yours is suspect, and undesirable.
Racism, hate, come from this orienting feeling. It is part of the DNA. Part of what caused humans to survive.
I am reading, one novel after the other, best selling books written by John Grisham.
He thinly veils his distaste for blacks and Jews leaks out, to me. It’s also obvious that he fashioned a character who is in at least too books, Lucius, to speak, behave like a Jew.
And just like with food, you can hide your distasteful opinion. Thickly cover it up by something that is able to mask it and is politically correct.
If he were openly racist, he would have just as many readers, but not the same people. People who share his distaste would read his books. Just as many.
- When someone sends for their starting point measurements, I connect to them. I feel their distaste. Or I feel MY distaste. For an empath the two feel the same.
- If it is your distaste, I won’t be able to make a difference with you. You won’t allow it. Even if you participate in my programs for a long time. In the end the distaste will win out.
In the measurement: how you take feedback/guidance is where the distaste is expressed: oftentimes the distaste is thick. Makes me puzzle why they spend money: can’t they feel what they feel?
If you have this distaste, you won’t take guidance, and you’ll hate me.
I don’t like dogs. I know them through feeling them, and I know that at a moment’s notice they can turn around and show their teeth, even bite you. It is in their nature.
They are a lot like the food: you swallow the bad with the tasty.
What makes these John Grisham books so popular is that they connect to the lowest feelings in you. On the top, on the surface you may be appalled, or sympathetic, but in the deeper down its evil resonates with you.
Through all my observation, all my readings, I have come to the conclusion that raising your vibration is bringing the two levels close, maybe even into harmony. To help you go from human animal, purely self-preservation driven, to a level, to a state, where the inner and the outer, where the deep and the surface are in harmony.
Where you can be authentic.
Where what appalls you on the surface appalls you in the depth, instead of how it is now: you secretly wish you were the billionaire at the expense of others… just an example from one of the John Gresham books.
Or you wish you were the Fisk character who, despite all his pretending, knows that he is bought for evil… and he may know he will suffer from the inner tension… but money, respectability, position are more important.
And the thing is this: the lower energies, desire to receive for the self alone are in constant conflict with the higher values that are already in your DNA.
Also, to what degree you experience this is individual. Many people find it out only when they they find out they have cancer, for example.
So is hidden like the bad food inside the tasty mask…
So Most of you are quite OK with looking ‘good’. After all, for self-preservation that is all you need.
And now that you know that much of what you are is hidden: do you want to know more about yourself? Want to have your Starting Point Measurements?
