In general, someone may have an inclination to feel powerless, and this is likely to make it difficult for them to live a full life. What this boils down to is that they won’t feel able to do anything to change their life.
However, this likely shows that this is more than just something they feel, as it could be something that has permeated their entire being. Then it won’t just be that they feel powerless; they will be defenseless.
going up
If something happens and they end up feeling different, it’s unlikely to be long before they fall back. When this happens, it may take them a little while to adjust to how they feel.
The reason for this is that experiencing a sense of power will have allowed them to feel good and then going back to the way they were before will be even more difficult, if only for a short time. Because of this, they may prefer to stay as they are.
For example
There are a number of things that could get them up, albeit briefly. These can include: getting money, getting attention, being in a relationship, exercising, and having sex.
How you feel when you experience one of these things or another will be so different from how you normally feel that you will often try to hold on to the experience. When this happens, it will be difficult for them to surrender to the experience and fully accept it.
Other elements
Since they often feel powerless, it also likely means that they will often feel depressed. This can be seen as a natural consequence of feeling powerless and not feeling like you have much of an effect on your life.
When you feel this way, your whole body can feel very heavy and weighed down. They will have nothing on them, but it will be as if they are at the bottom of a fallen building.
looking back
If you were to think about how long you’ve experienced life this way, you might find that you’ve more or less always been like this. So for as long as they can remember, they haven’t been in touch with their personal power.
They might believe that they were born this way and will always be this way. Based on this, they will have been born feeling powerless and there will be nothing they can do about it.
a perspective
However, if they were to seek support, they might end up being told that they need to master their mind. Your ‘negative’ thoughts will be the problem and once you are able to replace them with ‘positive’ thoughts, they will start to feel different.
In other words, what’s going on for them upstairs will be the problem, not what’s going on anywhere else. This mind-based approach may work or it may only work for a short time.
A Surface Level Approach
Even if it works, it may just suppress what is really happening to them. What this boils down to is that what is going on in your mind, along with how you feel, may be an effect of what is going on with you on a deeper level.
What is seen as the problem is then a symptom of what is happening to them in their unconscious mind/body. The challenge is that if one lives in a society that is mind-centered and believes that someone begins and ends with their conscious mind, the cause will not be addressed.
going deeper
With this in mind, if someone has felt helpless for as long as they can remember, it can show that their early years were not very nurturing. When they were babies and then toddlers, they may have often been left behind.
When attention was paid to them, it may often have been misaligned attention. Consequently, they would not have received the emotional nutrients they needed to grow and develop properly.
An environment without love
The only way to deal with the pain they experienced would have been to disconnect from themselves. This would also have caused his body to go into a closed and collapsed state.
They would have felt helpless because they were helpless. Closing off and not resisting what was happening would have allowed them to survive a stage of their life that was brutal; if their parasympathetic nervous system had not been activated and they had tried to resist what was happening, they would probably have died soon.
A reflection of reality
Without this understanding, how they feel as adults can be seen as simply irrational and merely a reflection of what is going on in their head. With this understanding, it becomes clear that how they feel is completely rational given what they experienced from the start.
What this illustrates is that the pain someone experiences during their early years does not go away once they become an adult. The challenge is that if they live in a society where their history is not explored and then taken into account, this pain will be overlooked and the root of their problems will not be addressed.
Awareness
If someone can relate to this and is ready to change their life, they may need to seek outside support. This is something that can be provided with the help of a therapist or healer.
