Weakness
One of the main causes of the sense of weakness is resistance
against the state of separation. For one reason or another the
individual defends against the state of separation, and for this
he must block the presence of the Strength aspect because it will
make him feel separate. But blocking it will feel as loss or absence
of Strength. This feeling or state of weakness, resulting from
repressing the Strength Essence, makes it impossible for the individual
to feel the individuated state of the Personal Essence. In fact,
many individuals resist the Strength aspect because they feel
unable or unwilling to feel autonomous and individuated. (The
