Soul Perspectives - For living a soulful life

On...

Victim Mentality

The new science of epigenetics disproves the widely promoted and accepted idea that genes determine our experiences, and determine who we are. It is totally untrue!

The worst possible view of our lives involves the belief that we are victims – victims of our heredity, victims of circumstances, victims of terrorists, victims of pollution, victims of the power elite, victims of people around us… the list is endless when you have a victim mentality. The worst belief of all is that we are victims of our own genes.

What does then control our experiences? It is our very self, what we call the soul, which is the essence of who we are. Does it not make sense that the essence of someone, or something, is what determines what happens within that being? This is true in all of nature, so why not in humans? We are not the physical body so why should something physical like genes control us?

Genes become activated from outside themselves – the environment included, but especially the mind. It is through the influence of mind with what we think and believe that triggers our experiences.

It is mind that not only activates genes to function in specific ways, but also mind that activates the influence of the greatest inner environmental factor – the soul, our essence. When mind is an accurate medium of expression for the love, intelligence and power of soul, then the genes respond accordingly and we find that soul then does control what is experienced within our bodies and within our lives. This makes everything in our personal being and life a meaningful and coordinated expression of meaning and purpose.

The gene theory of causation makes us victims. And we are anything but victims. When we don’t want to take responsibility for our experiences, nor connect with our own soul, then we like to blame something for the experiences we don’t like.

Know that you are totally free to be the soul that you are through expressing its beautiful qualities in your thoughts and beliefs, and then to experience soul in your everyday choices and life.

 

Exercises:

1. What thoughts do you think that reflect the love, intelligence and power of soul?

2. When do you feel you are a victim? What thoughts can you think and believe to overcome this illusion?
