Betrayal

Hello Beloveds, only you can betray yourself.  How?  This is done by over compromising that which is of importance to you.  You set a standard or desire and your intention is to uphold that standard or desire.  However, the softness in you soon deviates (or betrays) your initial intention or desire.  Because along the path comes another to whom you feel allegiance, or to whom you feel a responsibility.

Cursorily, your standard or desire is quietly pushed aside - your intentions are compromised, although  you tell yourself you are still in progress towards the goal.  

However, you effort to meet the other's needs ahead of your own.  Eventually, the other requires even more of your time, energy, focus.  They become more demanding and eventually you tire of this.  The relationship breaks down and there is hurt or bitterness.  You feel betrayed because of all you've done for that person.

However, if you had remained true to your original standard or desire you would still have met the needs of another but most importantly your standards or intentions would have remained uncompromised.   The other would have accepted the boundaries instinctively.  You would have progressed fully towards your intentions.  The other would have gained from your energies and an easy relationship of respect would have ensued.

Only you can betray yourself.   Betraying yourself occurs when  your emotions of needing to give energy to another overwhelms your standards of intentions for your self.  Unbalance is created.  So, know, that there is always time to devote to others, but hold your standards of intentions and desires and expectations first and foremost.  You will remain free of betrayal.  This is important.
