Question: Can the masters comment on if childhood trauma is a major link to narcissism or fanaticism later in life, whether in politics, religion or any other sphere.
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2022 Webinar for America – The Resurrection of Democracy.
Well, you cannot look at a person’s current lifetime and say what happened to that person in childhood is the reason why he or she is now a narcissist or a sociopath. You do not become a narcissist or sociopath in one lifetime. No matter how severe of a trauma you might experience in childhood, it simply does not happen. Many of the most prominent narcissists you see in the world, or have seen in history did not have a particularly traumatic childhood.
You become a narcissist or sociopath over many lifetimes by consistently making self-centered choices that deny the humanity of other people and make you insensitive to the consequences that your actions have for other people. This has to be built over a long period of time. For the fallen beings it is built, even over a longer period of time when you talk about past lives on earth. It goes back to previous spheres. Of course, a childhood trauma in this embodiment might trigger certain narcissistic tendencies that the person had built in past lifetimes. But still, you have, of course, many examples of people who experienced childhood trauma without becoming a narcissist or a sociopath.
