Understanding Narcissism and Narcissistic behavior

Understanding Narcissism: The Soul, and Spirituality in Love and Human Relationships.

Today, I’d like to delve into the complex and often painful interplay between narcissism, the soul, spirituality, and our deep connections with the people we love.

There is nothing more heartbreaking than falling in love with someone, seeing beauty in every aspect of their being, choosing to pair bond with them, and then discovering that it was all a façade. The soul you believed you knew and cherished is not at all what they seemed.

It feels as though your inner compass is shattered—as though you lied to yourself, unable to trust what you once thought to be true. For those coming to terms with the realization that their partner or loved one is a narcissist, classified by science within the Cluster B spectrum, it is an experience of utter devastation. You find yourself trapped, emotionally enmeshed, and holding onto an unrelenting hope that the person you loved will return—that they will shed these destructive behaviors and become the version of themselves you thought they were.

But the reality is this: for many narcissists, these behaviors are not a result of trauma, neglect, or abuse, though some do develop narcissistic traits due to such experiences. Research increasingly shows that for many, narcissism is a neurobiological condition—a brain structure that predisposes individuals to lack empathy and to operate solely from a place of self-interest and ego-driven desire.

As someone who studies hypnotherapy and past life regression, I find this intersection of psychology and spirituality fascinating. It reveals a profound truth: the ego and the spirit are in a dynamic relationship, co-navigating the human experience. For most of us, this relationship can achieve harmony, allowing for growth, love, and higher understanding. But in narcissistic personality types, the ego’s desires dominate, suppressing the soul’s influence. The spirit’s voice is silenced, leaving the flesh and its impulses to lead.

Scientific findings increasingly suggest that narcissism is not something that can be healed or corrected. It is innate—a core trait of the individual. For those who love a narcissist, this understanding is both a revelation and a reckoning. It teaches us that our hope for change may be misplaced, and that for our own healing and peace, detachment and moving on is often the healthiest path forward.

A Deeper Spiritual Inquiry

Beyond the psychological framework, there is a deeper spiritual conversation about narcissistic individuals that is rarely discussed. These souls often seem to be more susceptible to darker energies—forces that navigate their physical experience with an ease and influence that is deeply unsettling. How does a life align itself with darkness, shutting out the soul and opening the door for such energies to dominate the human form?

In a recent hypnotherapy journey with a client who was an exceptional channel, we posed this question to higher consciousness. The response, which I believe to be the voice of the Holy Spirit, was illuminating. It explained how certain physical abnormalities, such as malformations of the pineal gland, may prevent the soul from fully anchoring in the body. This creates a barrier to the impulses and guidance of the spirit, leaving the individual driven solely by ego and base desires.

The human experience is intended for growth, ascension, and spiritual evolution. Yet, some beings appear to reject this purpose, allowing darker energies to take residence within them. Their lives become vehicles for these energies to manifest and operate within the physical plane.

While this understanding is sobering, it also deepens our compassion and spiritual awareness. It reminds us that not all souls are on the same path, and that we, as spiritual beings, must discern when to let go of relationships that harm us. In doing so, we protect our own spiritual journey, allowing ourselves to ascend, grow, and align with the divine purpose of our existence.



Healing and Moving Forward

For those grappling with the pain of loving a narcissist, healing begins with self-awareness and spiritual connection. Seek support from trusted professionals, deepen your relationship with your own soul, and release the hope that you can change someone who is fundamentally wired to remain the same.

In this understanding lies freedom: the freedom to detach, to move forward, and to embrace a higher vibration of love—one that honors your own soul and its divine purpose.
