How Our Blindspots May Be Creating Diseases For Us

What are psychological blindspots? They are parts of us on the mental and emotional levels that we are not able to see or we are not aware of. Simply because we are too close to the subject matter, or we are just not able to see clearly due to our past, and societal, family and religious programming.

So for example, we have a habit of saying some things, or we have a habit of doing some things and we are not aware of them because we do them so unconsciously. And we can only see them if someone else points them out to us. We need someone else, standing outside of us to tell us exactly what our blind spots are.

If you had a cake and the cream landed on your nose and you cannot see it, there is no way you can see that yourself unless you are standing in front of a mirror. So people around you act as mirrors. They tell you what's on your face.

The thing is, we have no problem having people tell us what's on our faces because we don't want to appear silly with cream on our noses so we don't mind when people tell us this. But, we have a big issue when someone tells us about our mental or emotional blind spots. We get all worked up and are like: 'who are you to tell me this is how I am or this is how I behave' and so on.

On the route of personal development, we need to be a lot more open to people telling us what our blind spots are. Here's a suggestion:

You could have a friend you trust to do this thing with you. Create a buddy system where you meet each other once a week or once a month to do this exchange where you share with each other, what you think are their blind spots. Now the trick with this is not to take anything personally because by giving permission to someone to tell you your blindspots, they are doing you a favour so do not attack them back in return! Talk about the blind spots in a very factual way without attacking and without blaming, simply addressing them by saying something like: 'you know when this happens you say that and I believe this is a blind spot so you decide if this is something that you want to be more aware of or if this is something you want to work on. The decision is yours, I'm not here to teach you, I'm not here to blame you I am just here to share.

An example of a blind spot I want to share is my experience. You know how you get into spiritual beliefs and spiritual teachings that tell us that everything we say has to be positive. So my thing at the time, some 20 years ago was that I had to say 'yes' because yes is a positive statement. So in my mind, I thought saying yes would be a good thing. However, I kept saying yes to the wrong thing! That was a teaching of spiritual belief gone wrong. It taught me the wrong thing, it taught me to not say no to the right thing. What happened was, that I kept saying yes to the wrong things and eventually I was burdened with too much to do, too much on my plate not knowing how to say no! What a blind spot!

What do these psychological blindspots do to our psychic bodies?

What are psychic bodies? Our psychic bodies are basically our energy bodies. Our energy body holds our emotions and our thoughts. When we have blindspots guess what happens? There is a very high chance, that if we are not taking care of the blind spots, they become like stubborn stains.

You know the stains we have in our bathroom, or on our clothes, over a period of time the stain is going to change colour, and it is going to look worse and maybe bacteria or mould will build up around it? The same thing happens to the stains in our psychic bodies.

If we allow personal development and consciousness work to take a back seat and we lack awareness of our blind spots, over a period of time there is an accumulation of these mouldy energies. And the interesting thing is that the more of these energies you have in your psychic field, the more of it you will attract and you will go into a psychological loop with these things. Over time, these energies become psychic tumours. And eventually, from psychic tumours, they become physical tumours. 

A psychic tumour is like a physical tumour, it becomes cancerous on the emotional and mental levels. These tumours get lodged within the chakras and the energy body. They also find their places within the energetic level of the liver, stomach, the reproductive system (this is one of the most popular places where tumours find their home). Psychic tumours also create holes in the aura, thereby allowing even more of these energies to enter our system!

This is why it is so important to address our emotions, and not suppress them, avoid them or believe they will go away. They do not go away on their own, they will remain in the system until we facilitate them through our bodies!

I hope this information will inspire you to truly take care of your emotional and mental health
