A conflict of identity occurs when your authentic presence and integrity act as a mirror that others find threatening. In the podcast, Lena and Blythe discuss how being real can make you a target for those who are uncomfortable with your level of qualified energy. This struggle often manifests when people try to silence a personal narrative that does not fit their specific expectations or smaller games.
Being authentic can make you a target because your integrity may highlight what others lack. As discussed in the first section, people may try to find cracks in your armor or break the mirror you provide rather than being inspired by your honesty. This often results in being followed, questioned, or pressured by those intent on finding fault even when you are doing things right.
Spiritual conflict is described as a deep disagreement that goes beyond physical or verbal arguments. It involves dealing with individuals who respond to calls for peace with further aggression and continue to pursue you even after you have walked away. This type of conflict arises when your very presence and commitment to being real challenge the narratives and identities of those around you.
