I have always been very interested in human behaviour. This interest has developed along with my mediumship as I feel that the two go very much hand in hand. What I have found too is that our behaviours are so much linked into who we are and who we were in previous lifetimes. So in bringing all these aspects together, my mediumship has become very well-rounded and encompasses so much more than just hearing from our loved ones in spirit.
Having said all that, I have been following a YouTube channel called The Behavior Panel and they do dissections of various interviews that have taken place and discuss how to read what the person is saying in the interview. In one of their discussions, they were talking about what it is that connects us together as human beings and I found this particularly interesting.
According to Mark Bowden, one of the experts, the aspects of humanity that connects us together is :
- Ritual
- Custom
- Goals
- Concerns
- Values
For me, this makes so much sense. If we think about how we choose our soul families, our soul families will all be part of a community that has very similar rituals and customs. We all would be sharing the same goals and have similar concerns. And of course, our values would all be very much the same.
The thing that defines us is interestingly, our Values. It is when we have the same values as someone else that we are drawn to them and we find that common ground. When people hold the same values, they stick together, they feel an instant connection and there is that sense of belonging that comes with it.
In my experience, more than anything, we as human beings need to belong. It is such an essential need that resides deep within each and every one of us, whether we admit it or not, whether we realise it or not. Belonging to a group of people, belonging to our community, belonging to our families and belonging to our friends gives us a sense of who we are. It is a very real part of how we define ourselves and it very definitely forms a part of our personal truth. And our personal truth is that which we tell ourselves about ourselves, it is what we believe of ourselves and it is through our personal truth that we generate the outcomes in our lives.
When we feel like we don’t belong, there is very much a sense of not being worthy and we find that conflicts and fears exist within ourselves. Through those fears, we focus our energy on the negative aspects of our lives and so we constantly walk that spiral that results in negative outcomes in our lives.
Through our younger years, there is that rebellion aspect of our life that comes into play and we may find ourselves not wanting to fit in with anything that has been experienced in our lives previously. However, even within that rebellion which essentially is just finding our own space within our own tribe, the need to belong is still very real. Again it is my experience that when people feel like they don’t belong, there is inevitably suicide, or a destructive life path, that follows. But, that’s a whole other aspect of life and a topic for separate discussion.
I encourage you to take some time to go check out The Behavior Panel’s YouTube channel. It may not be for everyone, but I find them so interesting. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx_8ri2rYergbu_06VNSPlw
