The Narcissistic Imprint: Inflicting the Cycle on Yourself

Today I want to talk about the concept of the Narcissistic Imprint and how, once installed, causes an empath to inflict the narcissistic cycle on themselves.

An empath does not have to have had a close relationship with a narcissist for this to happen. It can happen by virtue of engaging in certain communities, entertaining certain belief systems, or by having direct and sustained interaction with a narcissistic person.

​First, some definitions.

Narcissistic Cycle

The Narcissistic Cycle is well researched and examined on Earth. This is one of the few areas of psychology that has quite a lot of merit, though while undergoing this experience myself, I preferred individuals who survived and their anecdotes to "scientific" research. I will outline the cycle loosely here.

The Narcissistic Cycle of abuse has 3 major phases. Some researchers claim 4, but I prefer 3:

• Love Bomb
• Devalue
• Discard

All three of these phases are used by a narcissistic entity to generate a trauma bond in an empath. You also don't have to be an empath to be subject to a trauma bond. Stockholm Syndrome is a traumatic response to an acute creation of a trauma bond--for example, being subjected to extremes of abuse and reward.

But in this specific instance, I am talking about the slow poisoning effect that happens to empaths.

Love Bomb

The Love Bomb phase is when the narcissist is being nice to you. Usually this starts at the beginning of the encounter and formation of the relationship with the entity. They will become and behave like all the wonderful things they believe you believe them to be. And let me tell you, narcissistic entities have a super power in detecting exactly who they need to be. They are capable of being a perfect mirror of you.

During this experience, all that you are as an empath will be perfectly reflected to you. This masks who the narcissist really is so you believe they are a kind, generous, loving person like yourself. It's the bait in the trap.

This phase also is part of the repeating cycle of abuse. A narcissistic entity, upon wounding you and bringing you "down to size" through abusive and punishing behaviors will then suddenly let up on the punishment. They will toss you some kind of breadcrumb of kindness. By the time you're in a cycle with this entity where they are doing this to you, you will be so starved for kindness that you will greedily accept your breadcrumb.

Devalue

After you've been hooked into the cycle, either for the first time or for the umpteenth time, the narcissist will then proceed to devalue you. This is when gaslighting, negative judgements, backhanded compliments, blaming, projecting, and other cutting statements occur. You'll suddenly start to feel confused and bad about yourself. You'll feel drained, but it's hard to explain why.

The Devalue phase is often interspersed with Love Bombing to keep you emotionally and energetically confused and turned around. You'll get experiences where it's a rapid fire of punishment and reward. Over and over again. Coupled with gaslighting whenever you bring up the confusing experience, you are left doubting yourself.

This phase repeats until you are left on your knees, begging the narcissist to please tell you how you can be better.

I admit that I have been on my knees doing such begging before. Not figuratively. Actually on my knees feeling confused, ashamed, and subservient. My inner masculine self was alarmed and disgusted to find itself in such a position. My star family was quietly saying to me, "We have a serious problem here." And my soul said very clearly "This cannot continue."

Discard

Finally, once there's nothing left of you energetically, for the moment anyway, you will be discarded by the narcissistic entity. This is when all communication with you is stopped. If you are in a personal relationship with the entity, you will summarily unpersoned and removed from all consideration or existence. Even in a relationship with a belief system or community, this is the moment when they just shun you without any explanation. You are hereby excommunicated from the group.

The Discard phase is temporary if you are the primarily food source for the entity. If the entity has found another food source, it will be permanent. (Rejoice, for you are free!)

Narcissistic Imprint

This is a term I made up, but maybe I'm also channeling it from a collective of empaths. The Narcissistic Imprint is the programming installed by a narcissistic person or by a narcissistically-inclined system. When you are engaged with an entity that uses the Narcissistic Cycle as a method of relating to others, especially if this is over the course of many years, this cycle is installed into your consciousness.

This does not mean you become a narcissist. It means you do their work for them. This is the ideal situation for a narcissistic entity. You are now running the cycle on yourself. They don't even have to lift a finger other than to grab your attention at the correct moment so they can syphon off your energy.

Many, many, many empaths on Earth (and probably off Earth too) have this Imprint installed. I see it in comments like this:

"My feelings don't matter."
"Ascending the collective is more important than my feeling impatient."
"I know I'm just a child for wanting more. I should be grateful for what I have."

All of those are devaluing statements coming from a Narcissistic Imprint. Sometimes, this was installed by a narcissist in the empath's life. Sometimes, it was installed by the spiritual community on Earth.

As someone who has been subjected to the Cycle, escaped it, and removed my own Imprint, it really infuriates me to see the New Age belief system on Earth installing this shit in empaths. Part of me goes, "HOW FUCKING DARE YOU!" I feel a sense of urgency to protect my fellow starseeds from this, and I guess that's why I'm writing this. It's the only way I can, because only they can protect themselves.

I have a strong belief at this point that not only do empaths on Earth attract narcissistic people, they also attract narcissistic systems. Sometimes that's harassment by the government. Sometimes that programming by spiritual communities. Obviously this all comes down to being a vibrational match for such entities in the first place. But the matter also remains that it exists as an egregore that is both external to the empath and internal to the empath.

So, the solution is both an external one and an internal one. Which brings me to...

Removing the Imprint

The way this Imprint can be removed is to become aware that it exists in the first place. This is both an internal process and an external process.

The internal process involves increasing your awareness of yourself. Becoming aware of your thought patterns and what you say to yourself. It means facing your shadow and diving deep down inside yourself to heal and resolve the issues of self worth that attract these entities to you in the first place. When you truly recognize how valuable you are as a person, how awesome you are, how loveable you are, narcissistic entities cease to have an effect on you. Their power lies in your issues with your self worth, because their wounding is in their issues with their self worth. (Wound matching.) Heal your wounds surrounding this, and there's nothing for them to attach to.

The external process involves becoming aware of the narcissistic cycle, how it plays out in your life, and removing yourself from interacting in any high degree with those entities. The internal process helps you go through this external process. It's what gives you the courage to look where you haven't wanted to look before.

As you remove yourself from these entities (energetically or physically, whichever serves you best), you'll find the Imprint begins to leave your consciousness as well. It cannot attach to you, because the wound that it was feeding off of is no longer there!

Be brave my dearest empaths and starseeds. If I could do it, you can do it. Believe and it will be.

I thank you for your time. Adiamas.
