And what is the prize, you ask? They give up their ability to truly connect with other people on both a spiritual and an emotional level. Now, you may be wondering, why would any soul make such a terrible trade? The answer lies in spiritual survival. In that moment, disconnecting from their authentic self feels like the only way to protect their wounded soul. The narcissist looks at this deal and thinks they are getting divine power without divine responsibility. They believe they will receive unlimited admiration and control over others. They think they’ve found a shortcut to superiority without doing the inner work. In simple terms, they choose the easy override.
What I’m sharing with you is not a justification; it is an explanation. Most survivors who experience childhood trauma or abuse, who are not treated well, end up being empaths, right? Had trauma been the cause, then every child of a narcissistic parent would have turned into an evil monster. But that rarely happens. It’s all about the choice. It’s all about the sacrifices they make and what they choose to repeat and reinforce. That is what becomes their character, which we call personality.
Just like any deal with dark forces, the spiritual terms get worse over time. What starts as a simple trade turns into a lifetime of escalating spiritual debt. Let me show you how this progression actually unfolds on a soul level. The first spiritual payment is their divine authenticity. We all have it. They can no longer access their real soul or their true divine purpose. Everything becomes a performance. Every interaction becomes a transaction because everything is transactional. Every relationship becomes a tool for feeding their ego rather than nourishing their spirit.
The second spiritual payment is their divine empathy. We all have that, too. To maintain this false self, they have to shut down their ability to truly feel what others experience. They cannot afford to care about your pain or your suffering, because acknowledging your agony may reveal the spiritual wound they’re hiding from themselves.
