The Societal Program of ‘Embarrassment’
Dear Akashic Records,
Please help me to undertand the esoteric or spiritual truth behind the human concept of ‘embarrassment’.
“The root cause is not knowing oneself on a deep enough level. Also a lack of self-love and compassion for oneself for perceived mistakes. If we strive to align our heart and soul with each word, action and thought, and we are secure in our own self-love, embarrassment cannot exist. Embarrassment is a socially engineered program to influence us to “walk a straight line” so to speak. We are taught to feel embarrassment for any action or speech that doesn’t fit the societal paradigm.”
“With trauma comes projection as well. We can project that our actions don’t fit the societal paradigm and then put guilt, shame and embarrassment upon ourselves. However, this loop cannot happen if we are operating from a place of heart and soul aligned intention with our thoughts, actions and words. In this instance, even if we do something that may be socially perceived as a ‘mistake’, we feel no shame or guilt or embarrassment because we have compassion for ourselves and can recognize the lessons available as a result of the ‘mistake’. Embarrassment also holds an element of rigid, black or white thinking, or expectations of perfection.”
