The world of narcissistic abuse survival and the spiritual roots
There are many kingdoms in this world, physically and spiritually, the spiritual realm comes first than the physical, whatever manifests in the physic it needs to take place in the spiritual first, we live in a war against good and evil and no matter what you believe in, this fact cannot be denied. There is a target on a specific type of people in this world, God's image and his creation. As Christians we know why and who is targeting us. The world is so deeply distracted, comfortable in the lie that they live in and so dependant on the system, that they will do anything to defend it and fight against the truth in order to stay in their own comfortable illusion.
(2 Corinthians 4:4) - In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
Jesus is the only truth of this world, and when we are not following the truth it means we have to be following a lie. There's only 2 sides of the coin.
In the world of narcissistic abuse survival there are many levels of abuse in many different perspectives and styles, but the same spirit. There's a beginning that took place in all this, The battle of good and evil since the beginning of creation. the father of lies was the first narcissist. When we read about the beginning of everything it all makes sense on why is this battle taking place in the world against a specific type of people, there's a target on empaths, the salt of the earth.
(Matthew 5:13-16) -''You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet. “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.''
Satan has a sick obsession and a deep problem against God and his creation.. human beings.. He was banned from heaven by God for performing the same exact patterns of behaviour we see on the so called narcissists. He will never accept that he lost the battle with God, and he will to everything that he can in his power until the end to mock and hurt God as much as he can, we can see this in the destruction and mockery against God all over the world. He knows he only got limited time on this earth.
When we have our spiritual eyes opened by God through the power and discernment of the Holy Spirit, we can detect what we are experiencing, looking at and dealing with in all types of situations. The wisdom of the Holy Spirit will expose everything for us.
As someone who have experienced and witnessed such battle for a long term, it becomes impossible to deny what we are dealing with in the spirit, some things just cannot be unseen.
In the world of psychology this term is simply considered as disorder when in reality it goes way deeper than that. One of the weights survivors of this battle have to carry is the external ignorant and goofy opinions from those who are still in the lie and under deception and naiveness, this type of people who deny and reject to see things for what they truly are sometimes can be just as toxic as the abuser and not safe to deal with or don't even know or are even aware most of the time that they are just on the support of making things worst and giving it more cover, for the survivors it feels like being slapped in the face after all you've been through and having your experience gaslighted and overlooked, but it comes with the benefit of also being able to discern who to share it with in order to maintain our path of healing safe enough since such experience can cause more hurt and hinder this journey.
I'm not trying to say that all external sources we might seek will give us this unpleasant experience, sometimes even those who should know better will be the ones able to cause more damage than good help and those who are not even aware of it will be the ones with the most open hearts and availability to help in such situations, sometimes it's all about what type of hearts we are dealing with regardless of what they know or not, and God see's and values that the most in people.

The narcissist is the devil on a mission to destroy your life
(2 Corinthians 11:14) - '' And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. ''
As I mentioned earlier Satan has a specific target on those who are the salt of the earth because his goal is to wipe out of here God's people and his creation as much as he can, he hates everything that reflects and reminds him of the beauty of God and he will disguise himself as an angel of light, he will never come as someone who you will not accept and welcome into your life, he knows and studies human behaviour and body language for thousands of years, God's chosen are being monitored, and he knows exactly what to send in our way depending on our weaknesses and what we struggle with.. This is why the wisdom and discernment of the Holy Spirit and a true relationship with God are VITAL to resist his schemes
(Hosea 4:6) - My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge;
(1 Peter 5:8) - Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
