Empath or Garbage Collector?
It took me a while to figure this out. It's not something that is talked about Anywhere - although it should be.
Many years ago, there were times when I would go into a big box store, many in general, the one that starts with a W and ends with a T is especially ripe for this kind of thing. I would be happy, content and enjoying my day going in. On the way out, I would be sad, angry or just plain ready to slap the next person to say good morning! At times I even came out of the store and felt absolutely suicidal. What goes on with this kind of thing?
The emotions we feel are most likely not ours. Do you understand that? Think of your mother, coming into the house with an armload of groceries, several bags. Items are breaking through the bottom of the bag, falling out of the sides from the tight grip that is an attempt to keep things inside the bag, and several bags hanging from her wrists which makes the whole scene look like an accident on aisle four ready to happen.
Most people who are able to help in a situation like this would go and relieve her of some of the baggage, pick up the items that fell, etc. This is programmed into us, we help.
Now imagine that same scenario on the energetic level. We pass someone in the peanut butter aisle and instead of picking up their groceries, we pick up their anger, frustration, revenge, and suicidal thoughts. Although instead of edible groceries, you find that what was in their 'energetic' bags was nothing but the equivalent of slimy, gone-off fish, spoiled milk, rotten produce with worms and flies and other items too gross to mention. The main problem with this is that most people don't realize that they do this kind of energetic transferance. No one analyzes how they feel before or after going into a store. We aren't told that we tend to help other people, with bulging grocery bags or energetic bags. When the slime of their emotion is picked up by the empath, it is the empath who is hurting for no reason. They usually don't know how to protect themselves, or to energetically clean house.
One of the effects of this emotional energy is that it can be divided without reducing itself in the process. Don't think that you are helping that person in the peanut butter aisle by taking on some of his burden. They still have the same amount, if not more, because now that you have picked up the emotion, it is shared right back to the person who gave it to you. And don't feel sorry for that person, they too have lessons in life to learn. As G.K. Chesterton once said, "Don't relieve the camel of his hump. You might be relieving him of being a camel."
The irony is that the people these emotions are picked up from are experiencing emotions that most likely did not originate from them either. We are a planet of 8 billion people, and all we do is pass emotions around, back and forth, for years, decades or even centuries or mileniums. Don't think that the anger and frustration you feel after coming out of a box store is something that you just 'felt' out of nowhere. You possibly are feeling the anger of people long dead.
There are ways to protect yourself from this kind of energy transference so that you can continue your day as happy and contented as you were when you went into the store. There are also ways to clean up all that slime after it has happened, if that is necessary. Stay tuned!
