The drive not to be powerless to others can lead us straight into the illusion and glorification of independence. And by doing so, fall into an ego trap. A very well disguised one. We can become disconnected under the guise of being more connected. And perceive ourselves to be more in alignment the more out of alignment we are.
-Teal Swan
Uber-Independence is nothing but a coping mechanism. We are social creatures, meant to mirror our internal state and to enhance our lives through the experience of relationships, togetherness, community, and co-creation.
That boss or colleague who does it all themselves because the others are perceivingly too slow or too dumb. The eternal dating king or queen who just can't seem to find the right one. The super smart, spiritual, special one who just can't deal with "ordinary people" anymore. The lonely wolf who lives off-grid and just doesn't seem to be able to fit in and collaborate. We all have been confronted with the ones who are coping because deep inside, they live in separation and in denial of the fact and universal truth that we are all one.
What you reject in others is always an unhealed part that you deny, disown or reject in yourself.
Namaste.
