The ‘Shadows’ & their Sacred Purpose
From a soul perspective, every mind (person) has a purpose—and in this blog I’ll be focusing on these three roles in relationships.
The Narcissist – The Illusion of Separation
Why They Gaslight:
Narcissists gaslight to feel in control and protect their weak self-esteem. By mind f**king others — and their reality, they force their partners to question their own perceptions, making sure they remain… the sole source of “truth.” Spiritually, this is a test of self-trust—do you believe in your own reality, or do you surrender it to another’s illusion? Are you giving up your will?
Why They Choose This Life:
At a soul level, narcissists choose to play the “bad” guy to challenge us to find our inner strength. By creating chaos, they push people to trust themselves and break free from false realities. I was blessed to break free by facing my fears that let the narcissist push their delusions onto me—mainly, my fear of losing him. I embraced the truth that he might leave me. His chaos was my wake-up call—trust your truth, and you’ll find the strength to walk your own path.
The Emotional Alchemist
Narcissists thrive on chaos because it mirrors their inner void— f**king nutts. Their gaslighting forces those around them into a karmic loop of self-doubt, pushing them to either break free or lose themselves entirely.
The Sociopath – The Mirror of Detachment
Why They Gaslight:
Sociopaths’ gaslight for entertainment and power—seriously it just seems so evil. They enjoy watching others unravel, fascinated by the emotional reactions they can provoke. They’re like kids poking a flopping fish on the beach, just to see what would happen—dead fish. Spiritually, they serve as dark teachers of discernment—revealing who is easily manipulated and who stands firm in their truth. Their games force you to sharpen your instincts—showing you where you bend too easily or stand tall in your own power. t’s so messed up—but seeing it through a spiritual lens, their chaos helps heal the pain.
Why They Choose This Life:
Sociopaths choose this path to expose weaknesses in others’ boundaries. As soul-level challengers, they test people’s ability to see through manipulation and hold their ground.
The Divine Challenger
Their manipulations expose where people lack boundaries or cling to false empathy. The lesson? Not everyone deserves your trust.
The Psychopath – The Empty Walker
Why They Gaslight:
Psychopaths’ gaslight without farking motives!!—it’s simply their nature (my opinion). They lack the emotional wiring to care about the damage they cause. From a spiritual perspective, they represent the extreme of soulless action, forcing humanity to confront the consequences of absolute disconnection. They are the proof of what happens when the soul forgets itself—a kinda spooky reminder that consciousness without conscience is the universe’s way of showing us what we’re not.
Why They Choose This Life:
Why They Choose This Life:
Psychopaths choose to embody the “bad” to teach detachment. Their soul’s role is to show the cost of living without connection, helping us to see and value empathy. I’m sorry I still have my human, spiritual ego commentary and that is — it seems so mucking demonic. Okay… I’m done with my drama. Moving on…
The Silent Teachers
Their gaslighting is a harsh mirror—revealing what happens when a being operates without conscience. Their cruelty reflects human disconnection. It mirrors their inner emptiness, showing the consequences of a life without empathy or accountability.
The lesson? Not all battles are worth fighting; some exist only to teach detachment.
The Higher Truth: Gaslighting as a Spiritual Test
✦ Narcissists: Gaslight to avoid their own emptiness—teaching us to trust ourselves.
✦ Sociopaths: Gaslight for the thrill—teaching us discernment.
✦ Psychopaths: Gaslight without reason—teaching us when to walk away. Echo… WALK AWAY!
Each, in their own way, forces a change: Will you surrender your will /reality, or reclaim it?
Final Reflection:
“The greatest trick the darkness plays is making you doubt your own light.
A play off of, “The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist” A 1995 film, The Usual Suspects —spoken by Kevin Spacey’s character.
– The lesson? Stop looking for its approval.” *My mental note allowed… self hugging ma self
