In this podcast, I share how the Victim, Abuser, Saviour Triangle operates within us, and why it comes to be in the first place, also expanding on how we can eventually set ourselves free from it. The wisdom shared here requires one to listen from the space of expanded wisdom within, for the mind cannot easily grasp the full extent of this inner dynamic. I invite you to please take a few deep breaths before listening, and to focus fully on what is being shared, with no other distractions.

I'd like to shed some light into the victim abuser savior triangle.

In our experiences on earth,

We go through all shades of grey,

Black,

White and all colors in between.

And when we come here living this dissociative experience of not knowing that we are God also,

Living this separateness,

We invariably live the victim mode.

So as a child,

When we feel unloved,

When we feel unsafe,

When we feel frightened,

When we feel that our survival is at stake,

When we feel lost,

Confused,

Utterly alone,

Misunderstood,

Unheard,

All of these things that every human goes through one way or another in a more or less intense way,

Create the victim pattern.

Because of course the child does not have yet the choice to take responsibility for their lives,

To realize that they can create their own reality beyond all of this.

Because these experiences of dissociation,

Of separateness are absolutely essential for the human to come to a point of saying it's enough and wanting to reunite,

To find something else,

To find something beyond just survival,

Just suffering,

Just pain.

Just effort,

Just fight,

Just defensiveness.

So this exact victimhood is what brings us to a point of reunion.

So this is basic earth learning or experiencing.

And the abuser is created somewhere along the way because the victim that feels utterly alone,

Unheard,

Lost,

Confused,

Is trying to find a way of coping.

And of course the abuser,

The one that somehow is causing the child to feel these things,

Seems to be pretty much in control,

Seems to know what they're doing,

Seems to not be suffering,

Not be lost,

Seems to be doing quite well.

So the victim then creates an alternative aspect which is the abuser and from the abuser of course many other aspects,

The same thing from the victim.

But it's all within the same frame.

So the abuser then is powerful,

Is in control,

Knows how to get that energy which is taken from the victim.

The victim feels depleted,

Powerless,

Because when feeling abused,

Energy is taken from the victim.

Then the abuser in that very same person through seduction of many different kinds,

Through manipulation of many different kinds,

Goes and gets that energy back.

But it's always the same old circle of having to get the energy somewhere and then somehow becoming addicted to having the energy taken from the victim so that the victim has to go and get the energy somewhere,

Empowering it all over again through the abuser.

So it's a circle,

An ongoing circle that empowers,

That gives a false sense of power.

And then the savior which can exist at the same time as the abuser or can be another extreme.

In some people the abuser is very visible,

In others it's the savior that's very visible,

In others it's both.

But notice that all of this is born from victim,

From separateness,

Which is exactly how it's supposed to be here on earth for us to have a reason to unite with something else.

So what happens is the victim feels completely unsupported and if there is a God,

Why isn't that supposedly all loving caring God not coming to rescue the victim from the pain,

From being unheard,

From being completely secluded from any kind of possibility of being removed from that extremely painful experience?

Where is God?

So there can't be a God,

Therefore the savior is born.

The savior plays God.

The savior is as well an imaginary all powerful figure that is of course more powerful than the victim that will come and remove and release the victim from its pain.

But notice that for there to be a savior there has to be a victim in the first place and there has to be an abuser.

So the savior in a similar way to the abuser is seen as all powerful,

All knowing and a way out from suffering.

Of course the only thing the savior knows how to do is to try and give the victim some justification to try and show that the abuser is somehow unjustified and create this protective environment that will eventually make the victim feel safe.

But for the savior to keep on existing the victim cannot die otherwise the savior is unjustified.

It is unneeded,

Unnecessary.

So the savior does everything it can to justify the need to save,

To play God.

The savior is just another all powerful substitute for trusting God,

Trusting our essence.

And now please notice that the victim does not trust the essence because I mean if it's there all the time and it was supposedly the safe space why didn't it show up when it was needed?

So this is where the difficulty in receiving comes from.

The victim can trust the savior because it's of course it is it but doesn't know that it seems like something else,

Someone else in the sphere of the victim's knowingness.

Can trust the savior because the savior is of course born from it but it has a lot of difficulty letting go of the savior,

Letting go of the abuser to fall into the arms of essence.

So this is why it is so relevant to first find the abuser within and the savior within because when these are removed,

No longer necessary,

Then the essence can finally be trusted as the only resource,

The only go to one that can then fully embrace love and dissolve all of the victim consciousness within,

That we can fully come to a point of knowing that the unlove was just a way of realizing love within,

That the illusion of lack,

Of not being heard,

Of not being understood,

Of being lonely,

Serve only one purpose and that is to surrender to the greatest love,

To our own essence,

To God within.

I hope to have been able to share this clearly,

How the victim abuser savior triangle are just one and the same thing running around in circles until we can take it no more,

Until it is so painful that the only thing to do is surrender.

Thank you for explaining this in such a digestible way. Essence. It feels as though the victim stepping out (the actual victim/survivor), is the only one that will. And it will topple everything. I hear you suggest the merging of all those parts of ourselves into one is what that Essence is? The abuser will go on to abuse, the rescuer will be resentful and perhaps abused, but too committed to that role.

Very helpful. I am also thinking of the IFS triangle Of 1. Exile/wounded child, 2. manager/bully and 3. firefighter/troublemaker, around the Self/- Essence as you call it..
