I briefly referred to my heritage and looks
only because Alan had referred to me as "Hebrew"--i was trying to show him how off, yet again, his assumptions were. It was part of a series of false assumptions about another that he was engaging in.
And we both know that he needs a break from being here to focus on other, more important things than posting.
Why was it ok for you to refer to Alan's medical issues and not me? There are plenty examples of it.
One post,
Quote:There have been some good developments in psych. Only a few though compared to the number of mistakes and errors. Its all part of our gradual learning curve. Its early days yet.
Look after the heart and preserve the conscience*, and to a large extent the mind will look after itself.
*My addition of bolding, and unlike 1796, i think that such issues can be almost exclusively physical at times, and have little to do with conscience, etc. What is the more "cruel" labeling?
Another post,
Quote:Walking is good.
So is music, of the right sort, of course.
Alan, do you have someone, a strong and sensible friend or relative, that you can rely on to assist you and help you stay disciplined in your self-management? and who can and will stand up to you if required?
Another different post,
Quote:No Alan, I was not referring to medication. I was referring to tactical methods of self-managing a condition. In recent years some psych facilities have been taking up self-management strategies to teach to their patients. Its a slow moving development though.
Yet another post,
Quote:No don't go Alan, not if you don't want to. I like you here.
And I don't get offended.
I wrote that post a few weeks ago when you were starting threads and putting posts all over the place.
Your revealing your bipolar on the forum is of no consequence to me.
As mentioned previously, i can only go back 40 posts. There are probably more references to Alan's issues and condition. But of course it is ok for him to make reference to this, but cruel when others do.
In actuality, i made less specific reference to this than he has.
Quote:See the narcissistic psychopath.
This is about as extreme demonization as one can partake in. For those who may not know, a true psychopath completely lacks conscience, completely lacks felt empathy, and are about as selfish and separative as one can get.
In metaphysical/spiritual terms, they have, or almost have completely cut themselves off from Source's Light and Love, and have chosen to exist purely in what some call "ego".
They are fairly rare. All the research that i've seen, estimates between 1% to 4% of the general population, and about 20% of prison population.
They are almost always, strongly atheistic beneath whatever masks they may project. Research has shown them to be almost exclusively focused on the things of the earth, such as food, sex, money, status, material things, material power and influence, etc. There is no room in their minds and psyches for things like higher philosophy, metaphysics, spirituality (things that i've been obsessed with since 13). In other words, they almost completely focus within their 1st and 2nd Centers (aka "Chakras").
Occasionally they can be found among religious authority positions like ordained Priests or the like within a larger institution such as say the Catholic types. Also "Gurus", and cult leaders is another place to find them. This has nothing to do with their personal beliefs, but their attraction to power and influence over others, and traditionally, religious authority was a means to such. As religious authority and power wanes, so will their involvement in such.
I would suggest to you 1796 that your need to extremely demonize a fellow poster that you have never met in person, and in reality, know little about, says far more about you and your lack of light, than it does me.
As to what exactly it says about you, that is best for you to try to figure out on your own. I will give you a clue--projection of one's own repressed/suppressed unconscious shadow might be part of it.
I'm a convenient target for you, because i have stood up to you, i have called you out on your b.s. b.s. and because i do on average have an unusual degree of attunement to PUL of late. While i'm not yet at the level of my Teacher, and you're probably a bit more intune than the Pharisees, etc. This is a similar reason/situation of why the Pharisee's had such a strong compulsion to extremely demonize the Teacher.
They called him all sorts of extreme things from saying he was possessed, crazy, evil. They said that he gets his power and knowledge from Satan.
They were projecting their own repressed, unconscious shadow onto him, and because he had no shadow--lack of Light within, and his powerful, pure Light hurt them because on some level it reminded them of what they lacked, how far off course they were, how filled with pain and suffering they were, and how unhappy they were as compared to him who was filled with joy much of the time, they felt such a strong compulsion to tear him down, to attach to him what they were within.
With all that said, i do not think of you as a psychopath, and wouldn't label you as such. But i do think that
you need to not talk the talk so much, and learn much better
how to walk the walk.
People attuned to PUL more consistently than not, don't go around basely accusing and attaching such negative, extreme, fixed labels to others unless there is A LOT of repeat, clear evidence to do so. I have never accused anyone i've interacted with on the internet as a true and complete psychopath.
The only person that i've known, and am completely sure that is a true psychopath, is my step father, which is part of the reason why i started to research this subject to begin with. My step father has been to prison, at least 3 times that i'm aware of, for major fraud. He lied to my mother constantly, and while she was dying of cancer, cheated on her with one of her friends/acquaintances. He was a cold, angry, borderline violent man when i lived with him, and almost everyday i experienced extreme stress dealing with his anger, immaturity, lying.
He is truly a lost soul that didn't/doesn't care about others and his effect on others. A true blue psychopath that lacks conscience, felt empathy and any belief in ethics.
I have not always acted out of Love while on this site, i have made mistakes, and have even gone through a couple periods of uncenteredness and extremism, but people that have been on this site for a long time, know that i'm far from being a psychopath, because my consistent, overall interaction/behavior as been more positive and constructive than not, though i'm not afraid to impersonally challenge other's belief systems (which sometimes irks people).
But it seems that you, Gman, and Rondele have a strong compulsion and tendency to engage in ad hominem attacks--probably because you all seem to lack the ability to impersonally and holistically logically debate well. Lacking that, you must resort to name calling, and all manners of personal insults and put downs, both direct and indirect.
It's basically a form of insecurity, and the same reason why kids in school, or adults, engage in bullying of others. They're insecure and deep down, suffering, and being so, to feel some temporary power (and distraction from their own suffering), they try to tear down others.
Well worth watching, though more about the issue of sarcasm overall: People that often engage in the above, also tend to like and engage a lot in sarcasm, or what the person in the video refers to as "scarcasm".
