THE MYTH OF ENTITLEMENT

THE WORLD IS DIVIDED INTO CULTS
The World Is Divided Into Cults Cult: the imposition of excessive control over members. The hallmark of a cult (culture) is that we become reliant. We know our place; this isolates us from others, and we ‘vote’ for it. Cults … Continue reading
THE CONNECTION: BRAIN, MIND, CONSCIOUSNESS

Optimism: that this world is the best of all possible worlds, and that good must ultimately prevail over evil in the universe. Two paths; the maintenance of good (positive) or evil (negative). A pessimist thinks that … Continue reading
CHANGE: BECOMING DIFFERENT

BEING WATCHED? WATCH BACK!
Being Watched? Watch Back! Negative events are promoted and meant to be seen so that ‘watchers’ can monitor how we react and how far we can be pushed. Propaganda (misleading information that promotes an idea) can turn ordinary people into … Continue reading
ARE WE CREATING A WORLD OF NARCISSISTS?
Are We Creating A World Of Narcissists? Lacking empathy Narcissists may fail to show any interest in other people’s lives, or become bored when the conversation is not about them. This means narcissists are often bad listeners: instead of listening in … Continue reading
COLLECTIVE NARCISSISM
Collective Narcissism Narcissistic groups could be an extension of individual narcissism, although this may not necessarily be the case. There are also groups within groups, which gives rise to in-group bias. Narcissism is self love. One could call the Kali … Continue reading
