Do you think your soul can ever truely be cleansed once infected?

Question:I have always helped others, with the use of strong empathy.. Because of my empathy I feel like I have a black cloud around my soul that blocks out my true emotions and I have hatred in my eyes yet it doesn't belong to me, it is the pain of others.. Like the bad energy I have taken from others has transferred into me. I have no hatred of my own.
I feel like my soul is infected but I also get the feeling that it can never truely be cleansed of this..
Any thoughts?

You could seek out a spiritualist - they should be able to give you some exercises that would help you clear your mind and let you relax enough to let go. Depending on who is near your area, they may also be willing to do a cleanse with you... but that would be a one or two day process - whereas the exercises would be an ongoing tool you could use whenever you need it. Maybe you could get both!
Don't let other peoples issues bring you down, I used to do that to myself all the time and I ended up in the same kind of situation as you - once I found a way to get past it I became more effective in helping the people around me, and happier in my own place in life.
Best of luck with whatever you do to alleviate yourself, I hope you find something that works for you!

*edit* Hmmm, I just saw your additional comment there... I do strongly feel that you need a spiritualist - but you need to be open and receptive to the things they are going to tell you and want you to try. Smudging would help, and also (I don't know what it's called in different areas) you could try a "black stone" or a "black box" etc. They allow you to transfer your negative energy into them and they hold it for you until you burn them. that way no innocent person or animal etc is affected by the "blackness" and you can continue on without a cloud around you...

I know to a lot of people this seems like mumbo-jumbo, but I am First Nations and I practice spiritually... the things I have seen in my short time on this earth are incredible... you have it within you to be free of this, just seek some guidance to start off with so you are sure to do your cleansing correctly....

Yes.

Regardless of the source of the negative energy, there is one and only one reason that it stays with you and that is because you are holding on to it.

Let it go and you will be free of it.

Repent... NO sin is greater than another!

praise the Lord & you shall be saved.

Well.....God forgives all and everything happens for a reason.
If you want to be cleansed let go of all the anger in your life.If you wish not to be then go to hell.

let go of it. i find - and i am being serious no joke - that screaming in a remote location (for me i live next to a wood) helps me to release any tension and stress. its like im releasing any negativity through my scream.

Yes. The only way to have the soul cleansed is to allow the Messiah to do it, He's the only one who can.

In our willingness to give that which we seek, ......we keep the abundance of the Universe circulating in our lives!Perhaps there was a sort of darkness to begin with in your soul!........we are all there at one point or another!
If you truly and freely give, the "Spirit of Love" will never let anything touch your Spirit!
Then you are a channel for the purest and most beautiful force there is!
And deception is not possible, the effect it creates in the soul
are so beneficial they could never come from evil!

Sadness, bad energy, belongs only to those who accept it!
Only you can free your soul!

You need someone with a stronger empathy than your own, who is able take the bad energy, black cloud and pain from you without transferring it to him/her self.
A spiritualist should be able to do this, or you could possibly use your own empathy to dispel the negative aspects by replacing them with positive ones.

Not actually knowing you makes it hard for anyone to answer your question.

It would be easy for me to say that you think too deeply about 'stuff' or that you're involved in an occupation that you're not really suited to.

But it seems to me that you have identified something that makes you unhappy. That might be a strong personality trait of yours - but you have identified it and it makes you unhappy!

And if it's happiness you are looking for, (presumably) then you will have to break down your traits, positive from negative, and do what you have to do to put more of your time and energy into what makes you happy instead of unhappy.

Over time, the black cloud you spoke of will lift.

i felt ok till i read this,thanks.
