THE ABUSED-ABUSERS-ABUSED CYCLE

ANNOUNCEMENTS

[Walter Driscoll asked to interview me in order to preserve on video some of the latest modifications and evolutions in the versions of the message offered here since 1989. He would label the discussion, "Unlearning with Floyd Henderson."

Please note: For those who have a problem hearing what is being shared, the video offers a fairly accurate set of closed captions which some listeners might want to activate.

The interview is available for viewing by clicking on video "NUMBER THIRTEEN" in the column to the right.]

1. [See the offer in gold text following this post for details on how you can watch a retreat on video which includes a detailed discussion of all seven of the steps on the path as used by Maharaj]

2. 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. See the green text after today's post for the full meaning and implications of that.

3. A newer video ("Number Ten: Awakening Together Satsang, March 2018") has now been added in the far right column of this page, offering the opportunity to view a recent 2018 satsang session with Floyd being interviewed by Regina and Jacqueline of "The Awakening Together Group." (See the details in the blue text after this post.)

4. Some prefer paperback books even if they have to wait a day or so to receive it and have to pay more for a printed book and its shipment. Now, 10 paperback books by Henderson are in print and available in two anthologies through Barnes and Noble, Amazon, and over 40,000+ booksellers around the globe including in the Americas, Germany, India, Italy, Poland, Russia, China, Spain, Brazil and South Korea. See the end of this post in red text for details.

5. Would you like to have us send to someone as a gift from you a copy of any ebook in our inventory? See the offer in purple text at the end of this post.

 6. Or, you may purchase a Floyd Henderson Shopify Gift Card here for someone and offer recommendations for the books in Floyd's store which might be of assistance to them.

THE ABUSED-ABUSERS-ABUSED CYCLE

Over a thirty-three year period, I worked with 150 high-school-age students per year and with some 14,000 parents and / or stepparents or adoptive parents or step-grandparents who were functioning as parents with many students.

Of those nearly 5000 students, about 100 of them whom I worked with during the first ½ of my career showed sociopathic and / or psychopathic tendencies and “abuser traits” and evidence of Type Eight Personality styles.

During the second ½ of my career, the numbers who showed sociopathic and / or psychopathic tendencies and “abuser traits” and Type Eight Personality styles increased geometrically in number each year.

By the time I had to get the hell out of that profession because so many dangerous students and parents were showing up, it is likely that I dealt with 1000 students (and, yes, parents) who showed sociopathic and / or psychopathic tendencies and Type Eight Personality styles.

Were genetic factors suddenly increasing to account for that surge? Not likely, so the roots of those cases of sociopathy and psychopathy and abusive tendencies were more likely to involve domestication / familial factors and personality disorders.

Based in statistics and in observations by my peers, by counselors, by psychiatrists, by researchers, by myself, and by others, sociopathy and psychopathy and abusive tendencies were increasing at concerning levels.

Next, many understand that individuals / persons can display the Antisocial / Sociopathic Personality Disorder and the Psychopathic Personality. What many do not understand is that state governments can display the Antisocial / Sociopathic Personality Disorder and the Psychopathic Personality

and that

national governments can display the Antisocial / Sociopathic Personality Disorder and the Psychopathic Personality

and that, internationally,

governments all around the globe can display the Antisocial / Sociopathic Personality Disorder and the Psychopathic Personality.

So what are the results of those tendencies and personality defects? Mental and emotional instability, abuse, chaos, disorder, disarray, mayhem, madness, turmoil, war, etc., all of which are seen by realized non-dualists to be rooted in the Ultimate Sickness and the personality disorders which it generates.

There are nine basic personality types, and then many more false identifications are assigned and adopted throughout a typical relative existence. 

Nowadays, the results from the enneagram test used here are revealing that there are more cases than ever of Multiple Personality Disorder and that the issues that come with personality assumption are far more aggravated than ever.

The relevance of that? Indeed, there are more cases of abuse being tolerated because certain personality styles inspire tolerance rather than a demand for freedom. Consider these personality-based contrasts:

While the Personality Type One Reformer will “stand up to” what is seen as injustice, some Personality Type Threes who are concerned with appearance and with having a “higher lifestyle” will often tolerate that which some take to be intolerable if a relationship provides the superficial things desired. 

While the Personality Type Four Rebel will “stand up to” what is see as injustice or as a restriction of freedom, Personality Type Fives (who are avoiders) and Personality Type Nines (who are avoiders because they hate to have what they take to be their “inner peace” disturbed) are often so adverse to conflict that they will typically tolerate what most see as being intolerable rather than take a stand against abusive authority figures. 

Personality Type Sixes are loyal to any and all authority figures, so they acquiesce and “go along with” whatever unhealthy Type Eight Controllers, Sociopaths and Psychopaths say and do.

[Note: 50% of all persona on the planet are Type Sixes feel entitled to having their needs meet by businesses or governments or “strong leaders,” so they are suckers for the hate talk which they hear from the sociopathic and psychopathic leaders who influence them and inspire them to be followers.

As for Type Four Rebels who might rise up against such abusive authority, only ½ of 1% of the persons on the planet are Fours; therefore, what are the odds of abusive authority being overthrown?

A Type Eight sociopath running for president in the U.S. has praised 15 authoritarian fascists / dictators who are ruling nations around the globe. Of course he has. That is his dream job and he identifies with them. They are his role models.

One Austrian who moved to Germany built up a huge following among the unquestioning masses who followed the Personality Type Eight sociopath Hitler’s lead in the 1930’s and 1940’s.

By contrast, some Personality Type Sevens can develop an anti-authoritarian posture and assume certain Personality Type Eight traits.

The point is, as personality takes a greater hold on persons around the globe, yes, there are more and more persons who are being driven by the agendas of their avoid-and-escape-and-tolerate personality styles.

In such cases, they are subconsciously driven to take the most unnatural step of tolerating abuse rather than confronting abuse and doing what is required to try to be free. 

Again: is it any wonder that Maharaj and other sages long advised all persons to be free of the effects of personality, considering that some types of personality inspire conflict and conquest and controlling while others inspire acting like a doormat for abusive types? 

There is never any balance in the realm of personality, so there is also no longer any balance in the lives of the non-realized masses around the globe.

To be continued.

Please enter into the silence of contemplation.

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.]
