Hi, Sam Ray, Thank you again for your many insights. I'm looking forward to more of your writings. I'm going to take a crack at a spiritual perspective on this. I think a lot about narcissism having had personal and painful experiences with it. As a healthcare professional, I had boxed it off into a "disorder" for a long time. It was shocking to me to start to see it as a continuum existing within all of us. Of course, this has to be true, because otherwise you would not bother to protect yourself from harm. We have to do that as long as we are in physical bodies. When we exist as our broader spiritual selves beyond physicality, narcissism is no longer part of the picture because "narcissism" is a rule of the physical experience of separation from the spiritual experience of Oneness. The question is, how far to do you want to separate? How much of this separation do you want to experience in a physical lifetime? From this perspective, we can look at history coming in waves. Have you read "The Fourth Turning"? The premise is that every 80-100 years, humanity goes through a cycle of societal behavior that culminates in a period of chaos followed by rebuilding--the fourth turning. We are in that right now. American history makes it easy to see because all of our major wars have been separated by this measure of time. If you look at each Fourth Turning we have experienced, every period of chaos is different and characterized by more extreme separation. How far do we want to go? And will humanity actually ever learn the lesson that you pointed out as "looking within to improve"? So, this changes the question to one of the focus of attention. How much do you focus your attention on an image of an external world, which tells you everything is separate? Or, how much do you focus on the internal world? Jesus said, "The Kingdom of Heaven is within." I think he meant that this is where we can connect to the Oneness, which is the antidote to narcissism (the belief in separation). Empathy is a necessary process. Timothy Snyder talks about groups of people, who may or may not represent certain beliefs or characteristics, who work together toward a shared goal as an antidote. It may be that we have to get so far into separation that only things like the mutual inability to find food is what finally makes us see beyond it. Our present political choices seem to be driving us in that direction. Anyway, that is my two cents' worth. I look forward to more of your writings.
I'd love to know what the Achilles heel of a narcissist is. They seem to be very thin-skinned, and yet criticism rolls off of them. They crave power and control, but unfailingly abuse it until they lose it. They can only learn how to avoid failure by destroying their obstacles, but never see the mistakes they made - because they don't believe they can make mistakes. They can only be thwarted. They cannot change. They cannot even WANT to change, why should they - they are perfect!
Is there any effective way to work around a narcissist? I've never found one.
All narcissists have at least one Achilles heel but the spectrum ranges from histrionic to psychopath, so it all depends on what type they are & the specifics of the desired goal.
It seems like a dangerous proposition. It's like the best way to disarm a nuclear weapon is to explode it. I wouldn't want to be around to see it happen!
remembering an anecdote now .. someone inquiring of an elder Inuit Hunter & how such a society was able to work around a clever & truly aberrant flawed disruptor .. ‘oh .. likely pushed off an ice flow by another hunter
Am at the stage currently - re Toxic YellowMedia / Cognitive Warfare / Character Assault - of bluntly Stating - ‘Name The Names’ - No Dress Rehearsal - The Threat Must Be Real - Natural Consequences - We Are Past Narcissism - This Is APEX Parasitism .. (they must think ‘it’s winning’)
Such insidious people have never been Bluntly Told - ‘NO’ - never been punched in the face for bullying - or Convicted of Fraud - perhaps even believe they’ve ’strength in numbers’ ?
What they ‘Deserve .. is to Experience Doubt & Fear Of The Unknown .. Is there a ‘boogie man’ or a stranger at the door ? Do they ‘deserve a cryptic warning ? Do they need to spend more time with their family ? Seek another line of ‘work’.. or Take A closer Look at The Company They Keep ?
Have written well prior .. many months ago that ‘people will be shot .. die with a shocked look on their face - Two people were murdered in Toronto about 5 years ago - still unsolved - undoubtedly a Professional Hit - Brutal re the Manner in which it was Done to a Pharmaceutical Genius & his Wife - & now the New York Healthcare Executive’s Murder
Vigilantes ? Systemic Endemic FRAUD ? Endemic Conspiracy ? Ideological Warfare by Elected Public Servants ? How soon until The Autonomy of Canadian Women comes Under Attack via Legislation ! We already have Canadian Premiers in Alberta & Ontario TELLING US they will Continue ‘Doing what they’re Doing’ until Somebody Stops Them.. Selling Public Lands To Cronies while Legislating Secrecy & Indemnifying Themselves against Prosecution & Consequences
Our outdated & archaic Legal, Policing, Political Systems & GOVERNANCE have been Groomed & Gooned & now we’re threatened by Donald Trump Inc 🦎🏴☠️

Accretive to knowledge and perspective writing and mainline press would not touch this with a 10' pole
That is pretty much the norm for most of what CNI explores. Psychology terrifies them.

Thanks Harry!

It's not dangerous if you know exactly what to do but each 💣 is a custom fix.
So, for Elon? Or trump?
There are extensive answers in the CNI database on both.
Just wondering if will you write about women? I am so so tired of talking/reading about the poor poor men.
Indeed there are two female vectors in the works but CNI hunts the worst issues first.
