Occult Knowledge

Do you often feel deeply invested in the feelings of others, no matter if they’re family or someone you’ve just met? Do you feel drained and overwhelmed because of all the emotional "noise" you pick up when exposed to crowds? Despite being so highly connected with human emotions, do you often feel like a misfit in society…as if you belong somewhere else? If any of the above situations ring true for you, then you’re more than just a human…you’re an empath. But that doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you!

Consider this: Did you choose the situations you were born into? Did you have any say in who your parents were, the kind of home you grew up in, or the circumstances that shaped you genetically, geographically, economically, or emotionally? As the author of The Four Agreements points out, you didn’t even choose your own name. Life being a game of chess, not checkers, we have to think in terms of strategies, tactics, and the importance of planning several steps ahead. Strategic mindfulness and emotional freedom come from not wasting our valuable time; and learning from wisdom.
