Life has a curious way of revealing truths, often in ways we least expect. It’s an uncomfortable reality that sometimes, we are placed in situations where we are the subject of manipulation or exploitation. One such experience was my own encounter with nepotism, where I found myself unseated from my position by the president of the organization I was working for, whose personal motivations were driven by a secret relationship that ultimately placed someone else in my role. But the lesson I want to share here isn't about the injustice of being removed to make way for adultery —it’s about the evolution of truth and how it became my pathway to greater freedom and self-awareness.
In the face of such circumstances, it’s easy to slip into the victim mindset. After all, being wronged by those in power—especially when it involves personal relationships clouding professional judgment—can trigger feelings of anger, betrayal, and helplessness. However, I never allowed myself to fall victim to the situation. Intuitively, I remained grounded in my self-awareness. Even as the motives were unclear and I was unaware manipulation was at play at the time. I challenged the situation, not out of defiance but from a place of seeking clarity. There was no clear explanation for why I was being removed, which immediately sparked my inner inquiry. I knew then that the truth would come to light, as it always does. Karmic ways are real, and they have a tendency to catch up with us, no matter how much we try to hide behind masks or false narratives.
The key to this understanding lies in recognizing that manipulation often stems from wounds—often narcissistic wounds that have festered over time. People who manipulate others typically do so out of insecurity, fear, or the need to control their environment. This behavior arises from deep-seated emotional pain and a lack of self-awareness. The narcissist’s wounds can cloud their judgment and lead them to seek power and validation through control, all while pushing others into unfavorable situations. The healing process for those who have been manipulated isn’t about retaliation; it's about understanding the source of the manipulation. Forgiveness, in this context, becomes an energetic act—releasing the energy of bitterness and resentment so we can move forward without being tethered to past wounds. Forgiveness is not for the person who committed the act; it is for oneself. It’s a way of freeing your heart and energy from the burden of carrying someone else’s wounds, allowing you to step into your peace and power.
For me, this understanding became a source of liberation. The truth was never about what was done to me but rather how I chose to respond. My energy remained unshaken because I had learned to trust my inner resilience. The more I leaned into my intuitive abilities and emotional clarity, the more I realized that the truth always has a way of revealing itself, even when hidden behind layers of deception. The more we witness our own energetic resilience, the more we become attuned to the ways in which the universe moves through us. It’s crucial to understand that we never have control in the energetic world; rather, we are guided by forces that reveal themselves over time, creating space for closure and healing.
In the aftermath of this situation, I came to realize the importance of letting the truth unfold in its own time. There is grace in allowing things to come to light on their own, knowing that we don’t need to force clarity. Just as the energy of manipulation has a source and a path, so too does the energy of truth. It cannot be held back forever, and it will reveal itself, whether through actions, words, or karmic cycles. This is where closure is found—not in trying to change the narrative but in accepting it and letting it pass.
Ultimately, the most profound lesson I learned from this experience is that self-awareness allows us to transcend the negative energies around us. The wounding of others does not have to become our own, and our energetic resilience is the foundation upon which we can rise. We don’t have to control our circumstances to find peace, but we must be open to the evolution of truth, trusting that it will lead us to greater understanding and closure.
So, as you move through your own life, know that the truth will always find its way to you. Trust in your energetic resilience, honor your intuition, and allow the process of self-awareness to guide you. In the end, it is the truth that will set you free, and you will emerge stronger for having faced the challenges along the way.
