Question: There is a term called vulnerable narcissist used to describe people who are hyper-sensitive to rejection, negative emotions, social isolation, a distrust of others and increased levels of anger and hostility. Can the Masters comment on how this type of narcissism can possibly relate to ascended master students? It seems that narcissism is something that can affect everyone at various levels, although not as intensely as it does with the fallen beings.
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2022 Webinar – Democracy and Christhood.
As the term ‘narcissist’ is used broadly or generally today, it refers to people who are very, very sensitive because they are very focused on themselves. There can be people who have no consideration for other people whatsoever and they are willing to harm other people and feel no empathy at all. But there is also a type of narcissist who has a need for validation or recognition. And they have a need to be right, they have a need to feel superior and they are very sensitive towards any challenge of this fragile equilibrium. And they can become very angry and hostile when it is challenged. These are not normally people that you would say are serial killers or dictators like Hitler, although Hitler was also very sensitive towards rejection.
You can see that many, many narcissists have a need to feel right. Many leaders who have been narcissists have a need to feel right. This is the case for some of the narcissists that are not, as we might say, evil, or aggressive in a physical way. But they are very sensitive towards rejection or a challenge of their viewpoints. Basically, you could say that Donald Trump is an example of this, he has a tremendous need for validation and recognition and being right. But he is not as physically aggressive, as, for example, Putin, who also has a tremendous need for being right, and is very sensitive in a certain way, but also is able to deny it more than Trump is.
In terms of how this relates to avatars or ascended master students, well, you could say that when you come as an avatar to this planet, and you experience this very severe persecution by the fallen beings, resulting in the birth trauma, you do actually go into this state of mind of being a very sensitive narcissist. You are not willing to kill other people, in most cases, and you certainly do not do it out of malice. But you can become very, very focused on yourself —very, very sensitive. You are seeking validation for why you came here. You are seeking a sense that you are an important person that is doing something worthwhile, maybe even a sense that you know better than people on earth. And this can cause you to become very, very sensitive and very, very self-focused.
Basically, our books and our tools for healing your spiritual traumas, and making peace with being on earth and so forth, are all aimed at helping you overcome this. But it can certainly help you acknowledge this consciously, consciously see the patterns and say: “I have just got to get rid of this self that is so sensitive about everything that happens to me, I have had enough of living this way. I have had enough of being so overly sensitive, always feeling rejected, always feeling like I am not good enough, or I have made a mistake, always being so concerned about other people criticizing me or hurting their feelings or whatever. I have got to overcome this sensitivity.” And this will help you make a tremendous step forward and attain much greater peace with being here, and being in your own mind.
