  • Hi Everybody,
    Welcome to another video on archetypes. Today I've chosen the holy witness archetype, which some people are unfamiliar with. But you won't be at the end of this.
    It's an archetype that, for me, has an incredible significance because it was one that I was unfamiliar with until I truly cast my attention on what people need to heal. The holy witness is most certainly a part of one's healing journey. And beyond that, it's part of one's inner development, the need to have a witness at critical passages in your life.
    I'm enjoying this, and I hope you are too. Thank you everybody - I’ll see you next week.
    Love,
    Caroline

    Caroline, I am at a stage in my spiritual journey where I left my spiritual community because our community leader engages in what I describe as spiritual happy talk. Yes, Rev, I understand the spiritual underpinnings of our teachings, but why are so many of us unconscious and hurting one another? And I now find myself in a place of wanting and telling myself that I need a new guru to help me on this journey of understanding why we must endure so many painful experiences, such as the victim and saboteur archetypes, two roommates who I invited into my life long ago and remain with me. This brings me to this series you're leading on the role of archetypes. At the end of today's video, you said, "I hope you're all enjoying this. I am." I cannot express the depth of my gratitude to you for this series. Listening to this series, I am reminded of the words so often quoted by Rumi, "we're all walking each other home." Thank you, Caroline, for your hand to us all. Please keep these videos coming. I've always understood that the hand that has wounded me most is my own. But these messages, from which I am gaining a greater understanding of the spiritual being having a human incarnation journey, remind me that my hands can also heal me. Peace and many, many blessings. I've got this! Oh, and I now know how to find my witness!

      ‘Light Supremacy’ is the humorous term being used to describe the ‘spiritual happy talk’ you mentioned. Positive thinking is essential, but it’s only half the battle.

      Also "spiritual bypassing" is another term for it. We are our own gurus! When we look to another/others, we disempower our true natures. Hence the disappointment (or outright ugliness) in 'spiritual' communities.

    Oh Caroline,
    I have been searching for 12 years on how to explain this need. The only thing I came up with was to form a group called "Hear Me Heal". A person would get up and tell their story and everyone had to give their complete attention, no snacks, no coffee, no writing, no phones....nothing but to listen.
    I put a man in prison for 6 lifetimes, plus 800 years plus 400 years...the worst case of child pornography in our county. My 5 year old daughter told me and I didn't stop until it was finished. No one will hear me. They say, "I can't deal with that". I so want to tell my story and let it go. Thank you for giving this kind of soul yearning some dignity. I have dreams of helping others....I get it...I've been there. Thank you again.❤️

    I have been a witness many times. I listen without judgment and keep confidences. But I sometimes offer advice after. I’m sometimes asked, and I give the advice I think they would give themselves if they could (this for people I know deeply). After listening to you, I realize I can do better. So much better.
    I think I mesh together a witness, a comforter, and an advisor. And while the feedback is always hugely positive, I see now the price. Instead of reclaiming their soul and rebuilding their confidence, I become their crutch. The are ultimately not empowered, but instead dependent.
    I see the wisdom in The Witness just being a Witness!
    I can do so much better

You were talking about New Palestine Ohio.

    I’ve been following you since I heard you tell his story on PBS 30 years ago and it deeply imprinted on me then. You gave me a life map (through sharing his incredible life experience) for what I needed to do to call my spirit back. I am eternally grateful for your voice and wisdom through out my life. You’ve taught me so much. Much love and gratitude to you. ❤ Shauna

    I don't know about the rest of the world but where I am, it has become common for counsellors and psychologists to give advice and opinions, which saddens me. And I just journal now. But sometimes I find that very hard to brave. I still do it and it's empowering . Caroline, this has given me a deeper understanding about being my own holy witness. Perhaps the resistance to writing things out will look different when taking this perspective consciously. Thankyou very much. 🙂

  • @Feribrat99
    @Feribrat99 Год назад +19

    This one is my basic nature. I draw people to myself like flies to honey.... they meet eyes and then they unload their story. It is not easy work. I Always ask them, if they ask me what they should do, whether they really want me to answer them. Some have learned not to ask me for advice because they know that I KNOW they will not listen. I do not OFFER advice, they have to ask.
    I have had friends not talk to me for a while because I tell them what I am hearing from them and what they are not seeing because it is too close to the heart of the matter.
    Yet at some point you cannot actually be there for them wholly because they do not make eye contact either. I always include what they are telling me before I answer them. I usually turn it to the direction they need to look and not actually decide what they should do..... they usually know that already anyways. Most people only really want to be heard, not fixed. Counseling is very personal. I usually hand them a few things they can choose from that they can see for themselves, and mostly they want permission to chose something that also sparks fear in them. They seem to want to not have to be responsible for their actions. Knowing that you can then dangle a few tidbits in front of them and let them save face by not holding them to any particular choice.
    Actually they do want a mirror. They just cannot meet themselves in that mirror honestly. It is too emotional and too close to the bone of their shadows... People really get offended if you point out that it is just a shadow of themselves, then they have no one to blame for it..... Blame is a huge crutch for many of us out there. "Shift that shit-- don't own it.... "
    That is a huge thing to overcome. That no one is really to blame for any of it. It just is how it went down and how you responded to it by the training you got in childhood.

    • @joan.nao1246
      @joan.nao1246 Год назад

      yes, same. it is our innate natures for the need to be held and heard. however, like you said, sometimes folks are seeking permission to see/hear their own s* in another way. I've learned that empowering them to already know the answers they seek (because we all already know, we just need reminding or think others are needed to take off our blinders) can be too much for them.

    This archetype answers the question, ‘How the hell am I supposed to respond to this?’ after listening to someone tell the same story over and over, and hearing myself tell the same story to others repeatedly. Now I understand no response is necessary and why we all keep singing the same song. It makes sense that the shadow holy witness gives unsolicited advice or says ‘lighten up’ after someone spills their guts, completely invalidating their story. Thank you this is why Caroline is my Spiritual Director.

  • @elizabethholliday6059

    Thank you for this talk. This depth of listening is rare. I was taught by my late, esteemed teacher Irene Smith, who pioneered the field of hospice massage, to listen in the absence of agenda, opinion, judgment, and advice. She was a master! I didn't know how heavy and burdensome those elements were until I practiced checking them at the door. Lightness and joy exist in the absence of those burdens. Having done this for others in practice, and in support group settings, I have longed to receive this listening in return. For that reason, I especially appreciate your discussion of surveying friends and asking for this kind of listening where it might be appropriate and safe. It has inspired me to ask for this kind of listening. Thank you.

    Thank you Caroline. This was profound for me. As a healer I often hear peoples stories and I dont like people repeating after we have dealt with it unless they want to do something about it. I thought I wasnt a good listener because of that but I now see how it's important. I had repeated my own story too many times. Interesting that aboutc10vyears ago I was working with a Lakota man who needed to claim his spirit back. I had a vision of him in a deep pool with a rope and the men on the bank telling him to pull his spirit back. I didnt know about that story. That man died unexpectedly last year. It makes me think that your Navajo friends story was in the collective consciousness for me to see. Thank you for all you do. 🙏❤❤❤

    Thank you so much, Caroline. It's very moving to hear what you have to share about your concept of "The Holy Witness." I wholeheartedly agree that as we live our lives, there is a deep need to share our stories. I also agree that both witnessing & being witnessed is a core part of the human experience. We as human beings want to make meaning out of what we have experienced. In addition to experiencing the power of being witnessed by another in a holy way through their profound ability to listen to us, as well as to have the honor of being another's Holy Witness, we can also be the Holy Witness to ourselves. This self-witnessing can take place during meditation as an example as we bring grace & compassion to ourselves as we witness painful memories & feelings. If we are fortunate, this Holy self-witnessing began in earlier years of our lives as children, teens or young adults where a part of us came to our aide in developing a self-knowing through divine witnessing. I believe that we can find &/ore develop this capacity of being a Holy Witness for ourselves as well as for others. This capacity is found deep within our souls..

    This is indeed a time and energy exchange practice. I am a Spiritual Listener have been all my life. Total Strangers everywhere I go start conversations with me about their sadness. I do now how to place Akashic Experiences on the book shelf of life for others. I have a meditataive practice and a Mediumship connection system. I have many days when the soul heartache of another can affect my own energy as I have Witnessed!! Their emotional sadness. This type of Healer can help shift a persons life dramatically and unless you ask the person what would they like to do, you break the universal laws of being their librarian. Energy is Time, Time is Energy, Energy is Money, Money is Energy. There are two exchanges in the practice of Spiritual Witness. The first is the exchange of the Soul Burden that is done in the spiritual plain. (I have not been able to get to the push a button and it's transported to the Akashic and releases from both parties but Im working on it lol ). The other stage ? Well in this time of spiritual shift its takes either a Religious Career where you are supported financially OR if your calling has been working with people Inner Child and Medical Intuitive work it does need the second stage of Energy is Money, Time is Money. Its sad that there aren't enough places of TRUST, to have people load up the weight of the Dark Night of the Soul experiences (which I have been through and may continue to do so, ) through the Spiritual Witness and then the Witness sends this experience up top the cosmos for cleansing. Not to be put on the shelf for someone else to take out of the library. Some experiences should not be repeated. Thats my wish for everyone that they have a witness that listens but also someone who has shamanic knowledge of retrieving the soul and replace the light. Thanks for shaking my cage. Its always good and helpful to not get stuck in our own ego of how, what, where, I should proceed.

This definitely helps me a WHOLE LOT in just being a better listener. I had a situation where I shared it with a friend. And they meant well when they said AWW with pity. It absolutely made me feel more pain. So this is helping me so much. Sometimes people don’t want your sympathy. Well sometimes they do but that’s no help especially when people tell their story a thousand times. Thanks so much.

But, I try to be my Own holy witness, sometimes..Is that possible?? To listen to myself and why I am having a problem and try to sense and meditate, to allow the answers to flow to me. I want to cultivate this in myself, --an inner holy witness--if possible, and still have an outside holy witness, also! Thank for your advice about not commenting when I am a holy witness, ..I will just nod, gently, lol but what if on the phone?? can I just say , "uh huh!" ?? 😂😉

    Thank you, Caroline. We can only express the pain of our life in order to find our way to heal from the pain, the lesson shows us how incredibly strong our soul is to connect back to what I call God. Your teachings are so helpful. Namaste'.

    Definitely listening to this again right now . I listen . I try to be good at it . Not better than anyone else . But to allow someone to be heard . It mostly happens when I’m shopping in thrift stores . Sometimes in grocery stores . And I try to also let my experience be a tool instead of being a ‘wound licker ‘ what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger . That’s what I do with my stories . But there is always room for improvement . And Thank you . This was a jewel / is a jewel .

    The indigenous peoples of the Americas have traditions that we, as weak poor individuals, feel envy and compassion, they have been persecuted, ostracised and tortured while being totally discriminated against as a nation. I feel so ashamed. As silent witness I can only hope and pray for their healing. Where to from here?

    Definitely enjoying this! This whole series is very helpful, indeed. With the holy witness, I have seen that once I was able to get my story out, it seemed to leave me without me even knowing, until I one day looked back and realized I had changed and the pent up emotion of the old story had no longer plagued my choices. ❤

    writing is really a good way to 'expel' the 'story' or victimizedness from the system, so that it's not imprisoned in the system, also so that u don't have to be the 'asserter' for it, having it be written and published (through a book, blog, etc.) allows it to 'speak for itself', so u become free from that 'job'. People who went through severe trauma find a lot of healing in writing. If all 7B of humans just take the time to just sit, and write all their traumas down, acknowledge, not reject, acknowledge the unquestionable validity and belongingness of the experience of helplessness and disempoweredness in the human experience, earth will change. Because when it's still in the system, people just keeps on projecting, acting out/lashing out for the sense of disempowerment that happened long ago that they still couldn't accept up till this day, going into addiction and passing the trauma from generation to generation. The ego has a HUGE problem with the experience of helplessness and disempowerment, that it doesn't want to see/face its reality. It's the EGO after all, that which is obsessed with power and control. Hence, the mass repression of woundedness and trauma, if only humans see that the way to go about it is to just acknowledge, that yeah, I was a child, helpless, dependent and disempowered and taken advantage of, I didn't know better then, yep, I wasn't capable of defending myself. How could I? It wasn't possible at the level of development/maturity I was in back then. There, done and done, but no, the ego just has to deny and resist and repress until death, and the cycle continues. it will prolly take another thousand years for humans to get this

    I have been a holy witness three times when it has been life altering. It has changed everything in a blink of an eye because the knowledge I have been entrusted with changes how I see harmful people in my own family circle. I cannot know what I now know about them as I absolutely believe the truth of what has been shared with me. I am not a disembodied spirit. I am flesh and blood with a sacred relationship and responsibility to the person who has chosen me as their holy witness. There have been grave consequences to my holy witnessing. In two of the cases I unwillingly became obligated to give testimony in criminal proceedings to protect the person who confided in me. In the third, I eventually chose to end a long-standing though always troubling relationship with family members. Being a holy witness requires courage for it often comes out of nowhere as a surprise and then you internalize the pain released by the other and have to figure out yourself, what do I do now, what next?

    I used to talk to my mother who passed on, it would be strange to talk to her; in friction with a romanticized image of her. In between de mystery and reality; I felt like she would understand everything because she embodies the above. But her body perspective from below was my godly image of her. Confusing but interesting! Thank you so much for these reinforcements
