The motto of the average narcissist 

 

A narcissist’s inner circle is not simply made up of their mate, family, and close friends. These people are expected to behave as if they are also his or her biggest fans. Anyone who dares to speak truth to power or demands to be treated equally will likely find themselves removed from the inner circle.

The motto of the average narcissist is in line with the old adage: “It’s my way or the highway.”

…::”All governments suffer a recurring problem:
Power attracts pathological personalities.
It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible.
Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence,
a condition to which they are quickly addicted.
~Frank Herbert, Dune

🌱 IFS & Peace 🌿   See Chat

Question: Can understanding the protective strategies of our IFS “parts” help to restore peace inside, and maybe in the world too?
Yes, absolutely – understanding our IFS parts can indeed help restore peace both inside and in the world. Let me share why this connection is so powerful. When we do parts work in IFS, we’re essentially becoming intimate with the different sub-personalities within each human psyche. Each part has its own perspective, emotions, and protective strategies. Some parts might be anxious, others angry, some striving for perfection, others seeking safety through withdrawal. The magic happens when we learn to **lead from our Self** – that core essence characterized by the 8 Cs: calm, clear, connected, compassionate, confident, courageous, creative, and curious. When we can access Self-leadership, we’re no longer at the mercy of our parts’ extreme reactions. Instead, we can listen to each part with genuine curiosity and compassion, helping them feel heard and understood. This internal transformation creates ripple effects outward. As the knowledge from EmpathyMatters.org notes about transformation work, we can make our unconscious beliefs more conscious and pair them with healing experiences. When we understand that our reactive parts are actually trying to protect us (even if their methods are outdated), we develop genuine empathy for ourselves. And this self-empathy naturally extends to others. Think about it: when you’re in a conflict with someone, what’s often happening beneath the surface? Both of you likely have parts activated – perhaps protector parts that feel threatened, or exile parts that are hurting. If you can recognize this pattern within yourself, you naturally become less judgmental and more curious about what might be driving the other person’s behavior. The **harmony mindset** that EmpathyMatters emphasizes – where empathy becomes the secret to a happier you – directly applies here. When we understand our own internal complexity through IFS, we’re better equipped to extend that same understanding to others. This is the foundation of peaceful relationships. On a larger scale, imagine if more people could access this kind of inner peace and understanding. Conflicts might be resolved through genuine dialogue rather than defensive positioning. We might see that our opponents also have vulnerable parts that need protection, just like we do. The work of **unburdending** parts – helping them release old wounds and limiting beliefs – also contributes to peace. When our parts aren’t carrying the weight of past traumas and fears, we have more capacity for presence, creativity, and genuine connection. Even the concept of **active listening** that Carl Rogers pioneered ties in beautifully here. When we practice this kind of deep listening with our own parts, we naturally become better at listening to others – which is fundamental to any peaceful resolution. So yes, the journey inward truly does create the possibility for peace outward. As we learn to mediate between our own parts with compassion and wisdom, we develop the skills needed to mediate between different groups, cultures, and perspectives in the world. The peace we cultivate internally becomes the peace we bring to the world.

"The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the seed of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is already dead.

..::"For me, the Jewish religion, like all others, is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions... And the Jewish people have no different quality for me than all other people".

Einstein viewed the "cult of individuals" as unjustified and often in bad taste, noting that it was unfair to select a few for "boundless admiration" while ignoring everyone else. 

(He explicitly stated he could not see anything "chosen"
about Jewish people)

 

 

”Refusing humility traps you in delusion.

~People will convince themselves they are fighting you...
~while being blind to the fact that it was never actually about you...
~it has actually been a one-sided beef with their Creator all along.

Imagine living on the only known planet in the infinite universe, where the mortified rich get richer by colonizing the people to follow debunked dogma, repeating an ancient doctrine of war, projected onto innocent children, again and again, the rich get richer, and the children inherit a brutal indoctrination instead of Living Sacred Life.  https://empathymatters.org/armageddon/

The phrase “Domination leads to Ritual Sacrifice” bridges the gap between historical sociology and ancient anthropology.

Throughout history, domination—the exertion of control, barbaric power, or authority over others—has frequently been inextricably linked to ritual human sacrifice.

This connection manifests in both structural power dynamics and ancient religious practices.

The transition from domination to human sacrifice is essentially the barbaric projection of unhealed guilt onto other human beings, often innocent children.

via Brad Blinstrub   ” Amen. What we are seeing is the march of the Khazars. A disaster renamed Israel.

via EnterTheUnseen ” If you truly understand the bridge between Spirit & psyche, you’d NEVER condone forcing religious beliefs on others &/or disempowering people’s spiritual decision making. It’s abusive behavior that breeds religious trauma, which creates fear-based neural associations to divinity.
