The Saviour Complex


                   Because of our sense of interdependency, we seek to help one
            another. Interdependency is not about saving. It is about helping. We
            need  to  be  there  for  each  other  because  being  there  allows  us  to
            encourage, support, nurse and share, but it should not include taking
            the burden of life away from another.
                   Life is about experiencing. These experiences can be received
            by us in a negative fashion. We are overcome by the load negativity
            imposes  upon  our  earthly  being  and  we  seek  help.  It  is  not  to  our
            benefit  if  a  saviour  type  appears  and  removes  the  burden  from  us,
            hoisting it upon their own shoulders, showing us their strength also, in
            true St. Christopher fashion, carrying us across the river of life.
                   There is no benefit for us in an encounter with a saviour. We
            have  permitted  our  experience  to  be  the  burden  of  another.  Our
            responsibilities  for  understanding  events  in  our  lives  have  been
            neglected.
                   Two wrongs emerge from apparently negative occurrences in
            life. When I suggest an experience is negative it is to show that there
            is another angle to an encounter. There is no such thing as a negative
            experience.  We  may  have  difficult  ones  but  the  negativity  is  in  the
            non-value we gain from it. While we ignore the positive potential of
            all life experiences we gain nothing from them. If we permit others to
            relieve us of the responsibilities for recognising positive aspects then
            it is they who gain. Remember it is our experience and thus it is of
            prime benefit to us only. Others may gain from what is ultimately our
