"Chasing Phantoms" (Page 6 of 6)

Lono, I don't know how she was taking it, she belongs to that Eckankaar soul travel group, so I think that she is dissociative anyway, and so anything will add to that is how I reckon.

Lyra,
I am reading your book and I think that it is quite good. I am especially fascinated by your relationship with your narcissistic mother because I have just had my own experiences with what I refer to as toxic narcissism, the dialogue I related about the Ambien was part of it. Narcissism seems to be like a psychic plague that is transmitted through hypnosis and trance inducing states of being. One really strong narcissist will permeate an entire group or family. A really strong narcissist is usually being controlled by dark entities or hyperdimensionals and such- do you think?
Also, your brother Joe is rendered really vividly and has captured my curiousity. He is the classic self-destructive sociopath in some ways, but of course has all the metaphysical weirdness surrounding him to boot. This is also part of my own wonderings on the way stuff works - why do sociopaths and psychopaths often have so much charisma and that false sense of "power" that is so magnetic and that gets others to do things for them? Is it the stuff working through them that is so affective? It seems like for some that dark energy source is self-consuming, but for others it seems to be a never-ending power supply. Thank you for your book and the website.-lala

A thread on sociopaths could be interesting. I myself had dealings with a sociopath about a year ago. He almost destroyed me. Since then I have learned a lot about them and what causes their behavior. Lono -what you said about how they reflect emotions is right on. The sociopath I knew fed off of my anxiety, fear and sadness; he was an avid psychic vampire as well. It seems these people are increasing in the world for some reason.

Yes to both, I have had similar experiences, the socios keep getting more and more clever and seem all liberal and eco-minded, etc. etc. Thing is, I had many negative synchronicities with the last one including finding an article in Psychology Today about how extreme narcissism can be a really positive energy, and also how you don't need to have low self-esteem to by enraptured by them, they put out such strong self-confidence that it is attractive to everyone (I now see this as bullshit), also at the same time I found at the library by "accident" and took out the book "Loving the Self-Absorbed" (Question when you snap out of hypnosis: "Why would you want to?") which is a psychology book that talks all about making a marriage or relationship work with an extreme and destructive narcissist ("Don't take anything they say personally.") This is I guess, materialistic psychology justifying the culture of sociopathology as if it is normal. It's kind of like Kinsey (who is now a pop culture hero) coming up with the "research" statistics that 95% of all men are sexually deviant and then the porn culture rising up to meet that "statistic." It's manufactured psychology that creates the conditions for all of this increasing insanity. Appreciate the info-lala

Yes, I went directly to the vortex on your site when you mentioned it in the book, (I am doing a lot of backreading of things that people mention on these threads) I read parts of it. Could be that people like your brother, becasue they have so many open portals in their astral and etheric fields and tears and so forth, open up doors like that wherever they land. This story is good reading and instructional in oh so many ways. The description and the emotion is what lets the story come in and really be felt: there are many ways to be a paranormal researcher, and this type of writing I feel is one of them. I am coming to the conclusion that charisma is really a low-level emotional charge and almost always related to the lower fourth dimensional realms. The stuff comes through in the writing very strongly, keep writing, your voice is very strong in the style you've chosen.

This is why sleazy ministers and pastoral counsellors are so insidious. They are basically church sanctioned sociopaths who feed on the vulnerable, widows and people in crisis and such. When someone tells me that they are going to school for some sort of ministry counselling degree or whatever my red flag immediately goes up.
