THE DARK TRIAD

A few sociopaths make the news, but most will go undetected because the masses are not versed in an understanding of personality and because most never hear a non-dualist's warnings about the way that personality controls the thoughts and words and actions of all “non-realized” humans;

the way that personality is behind all fighting and abuse and killing and war; and the way that personality drives persons by way of personas' hidden, subconscious agendas, removing any and all opportunity for the making of wise, sane, conscious choices. 

The one versed in world history knows that the Aryans were sociopaths, pillaging and plundering and raping and killing their way first across Europe and Asia and then later joining the Spanish and others as they all pillaged and plundered and raped and killed their way across the areas now called North, Central, and South America. 

Some sociopaths / psychopaths have made the history books, including Adolf Hitler, Josef Mengele, Benito Mussolini, Pol Pot, and Robert Mugabe, to name but a few. In more recent times, sociopaths and / or psychopaths have made the news, including . . .

Ted Bundy, U.S. military veteran Timothy McVeigh, James Holmes, Adam Lanza, Dylann Roof, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Dick Cheney, George Bush (who even as a child was abusing animals and stuffing high-powered fireworks down the throats of frogs and blowing them to pieces), Xi Jinping, Abdal Fattah al-Sisi,

Kim-Jong-un, Vladimir Putin, Abdullah Aziz Al Saud, Bashar al-Assad, Recep Erdogan, Mohammed bin Salman, Rodrigo Duterte, and Donald Trump, to name but a few of the 60+ countries whose current leaders have formed an authoritarian government or a full-blown dictatorship. 

Yet every day, you and millions upon millions of other persons deal with many sociopaths and some psychopaths. In the U.S., persons regularly elect sociopaths to run their local and state and national governments.

Some 1.2 billion persons or more all around the globe receive communion regularly from sociopaths and psychopaths who are child molesters who have historically been protected by upper-echelon religious leaders and supported by the members of their churches who "look the other way" as they continue to fund those institutions which are using their money to pay off victims and to pay hush money to their parents.

Persons live with mates who abuse them either verbally, mentally, emotionally and / or physically yet stay with them for “a better lifestyle” or because they claim to “love” them or because they have hope that the sociopaths and / or the psychopaths in their lives will change.

(That is very unlikely, based in a nearly-73-year relative existence and much observation, and college-level training in psychology, and personality testing and analysis of thousands, and working one-on-one and in groups with those suffering from mental and emotional disorders.)

More relevant than identifying sociopathic and / or psychopathic authoritarians and dictators, however, is this: persons sleep at night next to sociopaths and psychopaths, drive in traffic with them, and report to work to answer to them.

“Six Signs Your Boss Might Be a Sociopath”

"You could have sworn your boss told you that critical meeting was at 9:30 AM, but when you get to the conference room, you realize that powwow has been going on for a half-hour already. Your superior chastises you in front of your peers and the top execs because of your tardiness. You try to explain, but your boss insists he / she "told you the right time, and this is one of the many examples of how you are a disorganized employee."

"Later your boss tells you (with just a hint of a smirk) that a major client no longer wants to work with you because, if you can’t be trusted with the small things, how on earth could you possibly handle a multi-million-dollar account?

This is called 'work sabotage,' and it happens EVERYDAY to someone, somewhere. But what you might not know is that your boss may be a sociopath, and the chief reason for gaslighting you is because, well for him or her, it’s just fun. So what does a sociopath look like? On the outside, just like everyone else. 

"Take a look inside that person’s mind, however, and you’ll find something ugly. And not all sociopaths are criminals. Only the dumb ones get caught. The smart ones could be a politician, lawyer, head of a country, or your immediate superior."

Says Martha Stout Ph.D., author of The Sociopath Next Door: The Ruthless vs. the Rest of Us:

“When it is expedient, the sociopath will doctor the accounting and shred the evidence, stab your employees and your clients (or your constituency) in the back, marry for money, tell lethal pre-meditated lies to people who trust them, attempt to ruin colleagues who are powerful or eloquent, and simply steamroll over groups who are dependent and voiceless.”  

"Thus, you might want to check the following signs before you’re ‘late’ one too many times for a business meeting." A sociopathic boss:

1. Fails to acknowledge responsibility and deflects blame onto others. Translation: If that important package that was due to the client for overnight delivery never arrived, watch your back for the airborne knife. 

2. No real feelings; no empathy. Translation: If your child is coughing up a lung and the school calls for you to pick up the child and take her or him to the emergency room, expect your boss to ask you, “Just how important is this job to you? You can’t seem to juggle family and work effectively. Maybe we ought to rethink that promotion.” 

3. Manipulate and bully for their own purposes. Sociopaths tend to need high levels of stimulation because of their unnatural lack of emotion. Bullying provides them with an adrenaline rush while you run around like a chicken with no head at their command 

4. They have no remorse. Translation: After all the sabotage, your boss has managed to get you fired. You’re a single mom with a mortgage to pay and a child in private school and you care for an aging parent. You crumble, beg for another chance, and your bully boss calls security to escort you out of the building and then goes out for drinks. 

5. They enjoy making people feel bad about themselves. Translation: Your boss treats everyone on your team to lunch . . . except you. 

6. They outrightly sabotage co-workers and employees. Translation: Double check that Power Point presentation, because a workplace sociopath might switch it for a YouTube porno. 

There is no lightness for sociopaths, and there is no lightness for those dealing with sociopaths. Yet even as persons are miserable around them, they stay. 

A. Some tolerate abuse because their own parents modeled abuse or the tolerance of abuse. 

[I met with a woman many years ago who was being abused by her alcoholic husband in front of their six-year-old daughter. The husband / father explained away his closed-fist blows to her body by calling minimizing them as "mere love taps." Site visitors read about her years ago when she said, "He must love me because he would not get so emotional if he didn't' care."

I warned her that she was in danger and that she was modeling something very dangerous for her daughter. Now, her twenty-three year old daughter is seeking help because she is with a man who has been physically and mentally and emotionally abusing her for two years. She "wants to get counseling to learn how to help him change."

Her father, her mother, the daughter herself, and the daughter's alcohol and drug abusing partner are trapped in the Ultimate Sickness, marked - as Maharaj said - by "ignorance, stupidity, and insanity," all wanting to preserve their roles at any cost. Note from the example above how all three of those are passed down from one generation to the next.]

B. Other stay because they have no saleable skills and have been so dependent on others to meet their basic needs that they think they have nowhere to go. They do. They need but find it.

C. Other stay because they have normalized the abnormal. 

D. Others stay because they feel they deserve the abuse or because they believe they inspire their "otherwise loving mate" to abuse them.

E. And others stay because their religion has taught them to forgive their abusers, has taught them to "never break relationship," and has taught them to believe that there is something noble about suffering now in order to gain an eternal reward later.

All of those are evidence of persona-driven ignorance and stupidity and insanity.

One will likely never be able to change a sociopath, but persons can change their own relative existence if they see the symptoms of the Ultimate Sickness which are subconsciously driving them and those around them and then seek out someone to guide them along a "path" to

(a) truly be restored to sanity and to truly be free of all distorted and delusional thinking

(b) rather than just being told they have been restored to sanity though they have not (merely avoiding at present one behavioral symptom of their mental illness rather than addressing the multiple causes).

[Another evidence of the presence of the symptoms of the Ultimate Sickness is that when persons find fool's gold but are told that it is real gold, they stop seeking the real thing and just kick back and seemingly relax and take it easy, much to their eventual relative detriment.]

Here, with those who are still driven to talk about "god," the "Son of god," the "Holy Spirit," "Buddha," "Krishna," etc., etc., etc., the invitation to them is to view those as verbs, not nouns.

THE EXPLANATION

If looked at as nouns, they point to illusions and are, therefore, a total waste of time to even discuss; if looked at as verbs which are resulting in certain sane but rare behaviors among humanity, then they are worthy of some attention during the relative existence.

Meaning? There are members of certain groups who say things such as "My concept of god in the past was of a weak god, an absentee god, A Santa Claus-type god, a mean, punishing, vindictive god, etc. Today, I am in close contact with a loving and caring god whom I worship and praise and glorify and give thanks to."

The reply to that usually goes like this: "If you are in contact with a god that wants to be worshipped and praised and glorified, then you're dealing with someone like yourself - a narcissist - and hanging out with narcissists will never bring an end to your narcissism (that narcissism evidenced by the fact that you think you are "godly").

Next, in the phrase 'loving and caring god,' any supposed god that truly had her or his act together would tell you that the totally irrelevant part of that phrase is 'god' and that the only part that is relevant is the "loving and caring" part.

"That is, a non-narcissistic their god / their goddess would say, "I care not an iota about being worshipped and praised and glorified by you or anyone else. How arrogant and insecure and needy would I have to be to want that? Forget the man-made, dreamed up noun 'god' and focus on the 'god as a verb' understanding and then go forth and let loving and caring be verbs - not adjectives - and let them generate the act of love and the act of caring and let those actions manifest through you." 

Yeshu'a (Jesus) and Pope John Paul II and Pope Francis were spot on:

"No one shall ever see 'the kingdom of heaven.' It is within"

--Yeshu'a (Jesus)

and 

"Heaven and earth shall fade away."

--Yeshu'a (Jesus)

and 

"Heaven and hell are not geographic places

but are states of mind, nothing more than

concepts dreamed up by men."

--Pope John Paul II 

"There is no hell."

--Pope Francis, the current pope

in an interview with journalist Eugenio Scalfari,

a writer used by the Pope to issue off the record

teachings which become a part of the Papal Magisterium. 

[That said, would that the popes who have shown the courage to reject a core concept of their dogma - namely, "hell" - would find the additional courage required to question the very existence of their institution in light of the centuries-long cover-up of their history of raping children and in light of the mental and emotional and psychological scarring of billions of their members past and present.

And that need for courage also applies as questions need to be asked about why so many other sky cults are still being supported and allowed to continue to exist as well. When certain types of programming and conditioning have been shown to blind the masses, they should end. Will they? Not likely. Why?

Because what the masses think and say and do is most influenced by the international crime families which hold sway over the masses as criminals conduct their planet-wide operations. What are the major international crime families and which are the most influential and have the largest memberships?

The Mafia / La Cosa Nostra; the Catholic Church (with it 1.2 billion followers) whose Vatican Bank worked for decades with the Mafia while laundering mob earnings (for a 15% all-profit charge by the Bank); Protestant and Evangelical Churches (with over 1.2 billion followers) like the one I was raised in where the youth director molested and sexually assaulted young girls; big business which has long created environments in which people have been abused; powerful political bodies like the U.S. Congress, etc., etc., etc.)

With all of those crime families, neither the followers nor the leadership ever voluntarily step down or shut down their criminal activities. Be they gangs, organized crime families, religions, big business, politicians, etc., they all want control and they all want power and they all want money, and nothing internal will interfere with the driving forces at play.

The masses must demand that all those in charge must step down and their groups and institutions must shut down, and there's the real problem because the continuation of their crimes are enabled not as much by the people running such crime organizations as they are enabled by the masses of people who - wanting some perceived "payoff" - remain involved with them and give them money and support them and aid and abet the continued existence of those criminal enterprises and thus facilitate the ability of church criminals and political criminals and other types of criminals to continue to commit their crimes.]
