About the Blog
This blog is a response to the lack of reasonable information for empaths. By ‘reasonable’ I mean information not related to spiritual perceptions of what empathy is all about and how to tackle it with that perspective.
It seems as if the spiritual world has taken patent on the definition “empath”, and I am afraid it has caused more confusion and despair than it has diminished. It frustrates me, that the discussions keep getting derailed by “divine intervention” and that a more skeptical point of view is not welcome on most of the empath communities online.
I cannot possibly be the only empath out there who wants to go in depth with this issue from a more rational point of view. I cannot be the only one who wants to learn more rather than believe more.
Maybe I am wrong in my perceptions. Maybe there is a spiritual explanation… But how would I know, if I didn’t at least try out other explanations first?
I am an empath and I am a skeptic. I am not categorically rejecting spiritual explanations, I have spiritual beliefs. But I do question every statement given towards the empath ability, and I have a LOT of statements to comment on.
We do not know anything about this phenomenon, and yet there are so many self proclaimed “empath masters” who claims to have found the truth. I recent that!
I do not claim to have found the truth. I claim, that neither have they!
