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
