What is an empath?There are as many definitions as "experts" out there. Here is my own vision.
In practical terms: An Empath is a person who's empathy is high enough to cross the pain threshold, And because it crosses the pain threshold, he or she is able to acknowledge that some of those feeling are foreign. Now, lets get clear here. Everyone (or almost everyone) has empathy... empathy is the target of advertising and art. In the theatre or a movie, the viewer feels to certain extent what the characters feel. That identification is empathy. In advertising they trigger the identification to an ideal situation, and force a connection with the product. So an empath is someone who has the "empathy instrument" a couple of notches better tuned. source: Empath Zone Forum, see full article. |
