Guilt and Shame Weaponized?

Guilt and Shame are at the low end of the energetic frequency spectrum. They fall into the victim levels of consciousness using the David R. Hawkins Levels of Consciousness scale.

I find it interesting that we use phrases like "shame on you" or "you should be ashamed of yourself for ___________."

Why would these phrases be used?

What is the purpose for throwing them around so casually, frequently, and publicly?

To keep people from doing ___________, of course.

Then comes the guilt cycle. "I shouldn't have done that, and now I must atone for my sins." So off I go to do something out of guilt to try to right my shame.

Do you see the spiral?

Do you see the invisible chains or tethers?

Do you see the invisible jail cell one gets locked up inside?

I do.

Guilt and shame have been used as a psychological weapon to keep people under a sense of control. Even when others are not doing it, we continue to do it to ourselves.

This is the opposite of freedom and when you begin to look around you will see it woven throughout society.

People pleasing thrives in this dynamic.

Judgement is a version of this dynamic.

Manipulation, control, power over others is held within this dynamic.

Shame and guilt have been used as a weapon to keep the wild ones from causing disruptions.

Don't get me wrong, there is a natural place for these emotions, a sense of I did something and I learned from it and I have the ability to choose how I want to proceed as a result of the experience. That is different than launching the verbal weaponry to keep someone small.

It is a belief system that prevents one from doing things that are considered outside of the safety held within the box. Only problem is the box was arbitrarily created and the time has come to explore beyond it the confines of the walls.

I ask you to contemplate this for yourself in your own experience.

Where has shame been used to control your decision making?

How does it show up? Is it fear, lack of worthiness, scarcity thinking, maybe even a path to heaven versus hell?

Where has shame prevented you from stepping into your truth and power, keeping you small?

Where has guilt kept you giving more out of obligation depleting your energy than from joy and overflow?

Are you ready to be free from the inner and outer judgements that hold you back from embodying the brilliant light that you are?

Maybe it's time to release these trapped emotions and break free from the invisible binding that has kept you lost and confused. You are safe to be YOU and that safety and connection exists within your heart.
