Arabic music is very melancholic....lamenting, the voice sounds as if it were about to burst out in tears, cracking from the effort, as if were trying to not wail.

A hyper-empath mistakenly confuses his own emotions with those of another.
He is no empath....but a sympath. The source of his schizophrenia is this confusion of his own feelings and thoughts as belonging to someone or something other than himself.

A true empath consciously eliminates his own projected emotions from those belonging to another - gradually and methodically distinguishing other clearly, without sympathizing nor antipathizing.
It is clear that to achieve this the emapath must know himself as thoroughly as possible. Never overestimating not underestimating himself.
The degree to which he can achieve this determines the accuracy of his emtphy.

A narcissist is the opposite of an emapth, because he cannot achieve this to any degree - his ego hyper-inflates his self-evaluation, clouding all his subsequent attempts to understand others.
His hyper-inflated self-estimation perceives others in relation to its exaggerated state, projecting all negative feelings upon others.

The [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is closely related to narcissism.
Negativity projected as an otherness, leaving self as a pristine purity - an ideal.
A belief that one can save the world is based no a self-aggrandizing foundation. A Messiah may not entirely project negativity upon others but may accept it as a burden he can carry for them, finding self purification in his admission and acceptance of this burden.

Lasch, Christopher wrote:
On the assumptions that pathology represents a heightened version of normality, we can now see why the absence of the American father has become such a crucial feature of the American family: not so much because it deprives the child of a role model as because it allows early fantasies of the father to dominate subsequent development of the superego.
The father's absence, moreover, deforms the relations between mother and child. According to a misguided popular theory, the mother takes the father's place and confuses the child by assuming a masculine role ('Momism'). In the child's fantasies, however, it is not the mother who replaces the father but the child himself. When a narcissistic mother, already disposed to see her offspring as extensions of herself, attempts to compensate the child for the father's desertion (and also to conform to the socially defined standards of ideal motherhood), her constant but perfunctory attentions, her attempts to make the child feel wanted and special, and her wish to make it 'stand out' communicate themselves to the child in a charged and highly disturbing form. The child imagines that the mother has swallowed or castrated the father and harbours the grandiose fantasy of replacing him, by achieving fame or attaching himself to someone who represents a phallic kind of success, thereby bringing about an ecstatic reunion with the mother.

“All these strategies of accommodation derive their emotional energy from an impulse much more prevalent then feminism: the flight from feeling. For many reasons, personal relations have become increasingly risky – most obviously, because they no longer carry any assurance of permanence. Men and women make extravagant demands on each other and experience irrational rage and hatred when their demands are not met. Under these conditions, it is not surprising that more and more people long for emotional detachment, or 'enjoy sex,’ as Hendin writes,
Hendin wrote:
only in situations where they can define and limit the intensity of the relationship.
Sexual separatism is only one of many strategies for controlling or escaping from strong feeling. Many prefer the escape of drugs, which dissolve anger and desire in a glow of good feeling and create the illusion of intense experience without emotion. Others simply undertake to live alone, repudiating connections with either sex. The reported increase in single-member households undoubtedly reflects a new taste for personal independence, but it also expresses a revulsion against close emotional attachments of any kind.

An empath is the inversion of a narcissist.
A narcissists extroversion is a defensive projection to hide his an introverted feebleness, or a profound sense of insecurity/vulnerability.
An introvert uses his esotericism as a hiding place, cultivating a honest self-evaluation which helps him understand the threatening, uncertain, other.

An extrovert inflates ego, compensating for a repressed and unknown sense of self, to appear larger, more threatening to the unknown, uncertain other; the introvert deflates ego, to become inconspicuous, and with it the threatening uncertain other, producing the same effect.

Messianic complex, applicable to genetic organizations - organisms - and memetic organizations - SuperOrganisms, i.e., ideologies, cultures, peoples etc.

Within sheltered compounds, the messiah emerges to distinguish himself in the idealized uniformity; promising great rewards to those who follow - submit, surrender, worship them as the only heir of their communal superiority, ironically founded no a shared and always denies sense of inferiority.
A lord victim, to lead the collective victims, out of Egypt, through some form of mystical, divine providence.

Where do wannabe messiahs congregate if not where they sense an advantage, among the lost and desperate, willing to sacrifice everything, including integrity and pride, for the sake of guidance; where the crowds will not react by throwing against them ripe tomatoes, painting their apostolic garments red, but is not of blood?

Where do wannabe shepherds congregate but among the herds, desperately seeking a "universal solution" to a non-existent "cosmological problem"?

I've never been an addictive, obsessive, personality.
I've tried many vices but never became overwhelmed by them.
I have never fallen in love, as it is described by many moderns. I've been infatuated, in lust, but never overcome by this passion.
Similarly, I've never followed one artist, obsessed with everything he or she has created. I've never even become addicted to one form of art, or one school, one style.

The only way I can relate to the majority, who claim they have and I observe that they do become stuck in repetition, is through empathy.
I know why, for example, someone will become obsessed with one artist, and one thinker, because it's no different than being overwhelmed by pathos for one woman, and also being addicted to one drug, one form of high.
I found that the same types become obsessed (mind) as become addicted (body); the same kind that become blind followers, on faith, and who are dominated by one thinker, or one artist, for periods exceeding those of the normal stage of development. It is the same kind who become addicted to chemical joy, or to video games, or to porn.
Beneath all the variances there's a common source, a shared theme.

Great highs predict an inevitable great low; passions dissipate, their energies gradually radiating into the environment, settling upon a median state, which, seems less, by comparison, in the memory of the sufferer.
Great peaks, in the past, appear higher from the low ground of the present. The mind feeling relatively small; perspective and angle adding to the grandeur of what is at a distance.

Individuals that can experience great highs, surrendering to pathos and contributing to them with their own fantastic inflations, are prone to the inevitability deflations of the great lows that always follow.

Ego's Vengeance against Self
Having failed to produce a coherent judgement that has proven reliable over time, a mind turns to adopting judgements from others; renaming them, as a way of forcefully proselytizing them into something comforting and intimate.
Such a man will seek out minds that have produced plagiarisms, using their own linguistic contrivances, and will dismiss all others as derivative or flawed copies, so as to justify its own commitment to a method that shows what little regard it truly has for its own talents.
It's self-deprecating dishonesty will be externalized as cynical ridicule of others; easily finding targets, in a duplicitous world of increasing self-deceit, thusly justifying its own final negative judgement of retribution.
This will be a last attempt to vindicate itself from all past mistakes, before it dies, having lived a life based on self-serving lies and convenient errors in judgement.

Desperate to be noticed and approved, the mind adopts extraordinary methods.
Nothing can surpass the "absolute", so in the absolute - and its absence - it finds its final, complete, and total "victory" over competitors and an existence that denied it greatness.

Flattery, at the very least, hints at an attempt at manipulating another to gain some kind of advancement.
Self-flattery simply replaces other with self, hinting at an ego that cannot endure the former.
Self-Aggrandizement, inserts a question mark into the claim being promoted - irony of ironies, it achieves the opposite of what it strives for.
Unable to be, and to make it obvious to another, it hastens to declare what the other fails to acknowledge, openly and clearly, or to "correctly" appreciate. e.g., when someone declares himself "strong", or constantly implies his physical or mental prowess, it is usually an indication of the reverse.
The truly strong does not need to state it, for it is obvious, and he may even downplay his strength, to not intimidate or inhibit the other from coming closer to experience it fully.
No doubt, impressionable feebleness will be affected by such brazen displays, for such spirits suffer from the opposite psychological need, and they can only admire anyone who can use methods they dare not consider applying.
Posing - i.e., pea-cocking - is considered a kind of "strength" they lack, a kind of courage they do not possess, and not so much what is being insinuated.
So, the declaration of "strength" is a strength in itself for a demure mind, even if it is a claim that cannot be substantiated.

Finally, self-handicapping, as it emerges in natural reproductive strategies, is a form of over-compensating duplicity that is successful.
It suffers an inevitable cost, but usually not before it accomplishes what it desires - despite not being fully aware of it.
Awareness - such as self-awareness - would, in fact, make the performance less convincing, and therefore less effective.
Duplicity must not become aware of its own duplicity, otherwise the risks and the costs will be for naught.

Why do females, and sometimes emasculate males, show so much unnecessary aggression towards the males that have thoroughly dominated them - to the point of penetrating - both physically & intellectually - their very being?
For two reasons:
1- They must constantly and methodically reaffirm the dominator's dominance, to justify their submission/surrender.
2- They must express the resentment they feel towards the one who has placed them in a position of submission/surrender.

A mind belittles other minds, showing them his honest underlying contempt for them, when he speaks to them using mystical contexts - like a mind speaks to children using fairy tales.
There's a difference between using fairy tales to metaphorically express ideas that can be pragmatically and independently falsified and when the fairy tales acquire the air of literal meanings, that can neither be falsified nor experienced.
At some point a parent, who truly loves his children and is smart enough, tells his children Santa Clause is just a symbol for something else, and not literally a magical entity bearing gifts.

Autism = a cognitive inability to empathize.
An inability to read the environment and the participants.
A lack of objectivity may produce the easier method of subjective projection, i.e., a simplified, less sophisticated, form of empathy that remains on the level of sympathy/antipathy.
The individual simply projects himself into the other's circumstances, and then imagines himself feeling, choosing, acting, or imagines how he would have felt acted etc, if he were in those circumstances - identifying other as self, and/or self as other; the boundaries of 'I' and 'other' are blurred and confused, to the extreme.
When the unknown 'other' is a copy of the 'self's' intuited 'good traits', it sympathizes; when the 'other' becomes a representation of one's own intuited and not fully understood or defined, bad traits, then antipathy is the result.
Good/Bad refer to desirable outcomes, usually in relation to others.  
Know Thyself is crucial. Without self-awareness - honest and lucid self-awareness - the other becomes a reflection of a superficial understanding of self; usually based on a hyperbolic self-flattering or self-abnegating, depending on how developed the individual's self-esteem is.  
Simple projection, producing an automatic sympathy/antipathy, evolves first, because of its inferior, less complicated demands on the mind.

Sub-conscious low degree of self-esteem may produce a compensating exaggeration of externalized self-esteem - a display - such as self-aggrandizement, self-flattery; or it may produce an exaggerated compensating self-abnegation, seeking external validation, such as flattery, appreciation, love, acceptance, reaffirmation by and through others, or it mat try to theoretically "disappear into the other," i.e., annihilation of self in an idea/ideal, a concept that offers an alternate identity.
The metaphysical existential ideologies associated with the seemingly polar-opposites (dualistic binary) of Positive & Pure Nihilism are associated with these two psychological methods of compensating; they are united in the need to defend ego from itself, or from the confrontation produced by an emerging awareness of itself, as it relates/compares to otherness.
We can reduce it down to the simpler awakening of mind to the body - the noetic with the apparent; noumenon/phenomenon, i.e., Idea-Ideal/Real.
Mind noetically rejects the appearance of the body, as identifying, replacing it with a mental construct, such as one/nil, God/Satan, or any symbol/word referring to an idea/ideal that has no references in reality,a s it is present and it appears.
In higher cognitive types, the physical is replaced by metaphysical constructs, and verbiage, obscuring the real with a metaphysical Mayan veil, entirely based on semiotics.
The world is redefined "out of existence" and then replaced with an ideology/spiritual dogma.  
Metaphysical replaces the Physical, i.e. myth usurps physis, by becoming literal rather than representational, i.e, metaphorical.
In effect metaphysics ceases to refer and defer to the physical, the objective, and is converted into an echo-chamber of inter-subjective projections - good/bad now becomes an indemnification of those who echo back the desired response and those who fail to echo it back.
Success/Failure alter meaning. They now refer to succeeding and/or failing to convince other of one's own projected subjectivity - the objective, indifferent, world, present and interpreted as appearance, is no longer a factor.
Autism becomes institutionalized.

A lesson that imposes silence, when in the presence of fools, at the delight of chattering fools.
Fools need an audience because without them their foolishness turns self-destructive - it needs an external validation, a distraction, from itself.
Foolishness needs followers and converts. It needs talk with no wisdom, and finds it among its own.

The greater the sense of vulnerability & insecurity of that which is within, the higher and thicker the walls constructed to keep that which threatens it without.
This may take the form of placing the bar of validation so high as to prevent any challenges to those who have placed it so low within - a double standard.
In its extreme - psychosis - a total breach of the line separating the without from the within - developing in a denial of other, or of the objective real, rendering it unable to offer a challenge to the subjective interpretation.
The within denying the very existence of a without, i.e., denial.

This may express itself in absolutist noetic vagueries, defining themselves out of existence, so as to completely erase - nullify - distinction, and/or so as preserve it unchallenged.

A double standard, lacking validation, may turn to emotional appeals to justify itself. It begins by eroding - corrupting - the very concept of reason, or the method of expressing it, i.e., logos.

People always give you the pieces of their psyche.
Like a jigsaw puzzle they cannot see the final image, but can only perceive it indirectly, through others, i.e., reflection.
Sometimes the pieces do not fit, creating a strange jumbled amalgamation of fragmented parts that do not produce a cohesive image - reflecting exactly, the nature of their spirit.  
A small part of a greater image is offered in something as simple as a self-proclaimed  "anarchist" - that's one section of the bigger psychological picture.
The other will be provided by his belief or disbelief - absolutely - in free-will, which is at the root of anarchy: αωαρχια. Negating 'a' of 'arche' = begin, first principle, authority.  
This creates interesting combinations....made complex if we include an individual's convictions about god, religion, sex etc......creating a picture that may be perceived, at first, as a confused mess, if one accepts the individual's description and definitions, but may expose an underlying cohesiveness if one ignores what the individual believes about himself, and one perceives what he or she says about what he believes and how he/she defines the words he uses to describe himself/herself.
(an organism is always striving towards higher organization, so the individual may not be aware of its own underlying ordering, and may contradict it through his/her actions and convictions - body is always honest, the mind is not)

Years ago I offered my analysis on why mostly young males are attracted to the political and philosophical stance of anarchy - young white males, to be more precise.
In brief: a male challenges authority, as a matter of his very essence - as the sex that must prove itself worthy of eternity, i.e., of being reproduced.
It needs to explain why it finds itself at a lower rung in a pre-existing socio-economic hierarchy, convinced that if the slate were to be erased, and everyone competed from an equal starting point, it would then find its way to the top - egotism is central to an organism's survival.
The psychology of a female who is attracted to anarchy is slightly modified.
But lets continue...as one piece, or a few pieces of a puzzle only produce one small section of a bigger picture.

To this part, what would one think of an anarchist who believes in free-will, as opposed to an anarchist who dismisses it as illusory, deferring to a higher authority?
Now the model begins to diverge, that slight addition altering the direction of the model.
What authority is he rebelling against, if he is also convinced that he has no authority himself, and is entirely subjected to a universal totalitarianism?
What is the individual telling us about himself, in relation to his own existence; in relation to other humans?
State is how it conceptualizes the common will imposing itself upon its will, which it believes is un-free, as is the collective will of those it is "rebelling" against.
So, what exactly is it challenging, which submitting to a higher authority?  
I'm not going to offer my own analysis, because it's obvious from the parts being presented, as pieces in a psychological jigsaw puzzle.

Similarly...imagine the psychological puzzle of a mind that is a self-declared follower of Nietzsche, let's say, and his "herd psychology", used to imply a personal differentiation from the common, then deferring to authority, declaring the end of thinking - telos - and believing that the "secret to existence" goes through the authority of a mind that stands as an authority, the leader, to be followed? If not a "god head" then....a messiah....an icon/idol....or a guru?
What would we call a slave that does not believe in a world existing beyond the compound of his enslavement, then following a theory that preaches individuality and personal agency? What would we call an individual who helps build and maintain the fences of the compound he is encompassed by?
See what I mean about self-deceit?
It's how compartmentalized schizoid minds retain the external façade of attractive, well-adjusted, functionality - "normality".
Such internal contradictions cannot but reveal themselves through other avenues.
A jumbled psychic puzzle, of segmented images produces disharmony - stress - that will be expressed/expunged in one form or another.
(more precisely, a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle, corresponding to the Platonic psyche, and to the triad synthesis of Body/Nervous System/Mind)

Notice that in a three-dimensional model the external surface encompasses a mostly void esoteric space (an absence), which it conceals, producing the division of private/public identity, and/or personae/character - three dimensional models produce dualities.
We can add time, as a measure of movement, but then the model would be fluid and constantly changing in accordance to patterns, making an analysis more complex.
This is why people are not exactly the same from one moment, one day, one year, to the next. The model of their psyche is fluid, but not chaotic, following a genetic pattern, as it interacts with a fluctuating environment. We can only construct general models that are precise within a time-period - adjusting them as the object of study adjusts and changes in accordance to circumstances.  

This is what I called mental beauty, relating to physical beauty.
Physical beauty = symmetry and proportionality. Physical attractiveness, fitness etc.
Mental beauty - i.e., psychological, spiritual = mental symmetry and proportionality. Intelligence, creativity, charm, etc.

Physical symmetry is corrupted by the needs of the organism to survive in a fluctuating cosmos (order/chaos interactivity), manifesting as proportionality.
Grace, dexterity, is an indication of a balance, expressed in movement.
Mental symmetry suffers from the same "corruption" of organic needs, manifesting in mental proportionality - spiritual balance expressed through mental grace, and dexterity/flexibility, expressed through thinking.
Humour is a good indicator, but not just humour, but the ability to offer it in the right moment to the right degree. Being "funny" constantly is disproportional in relation to the circumstances, which would indicate an internal imbalance.

I show a preference for truths that can be studied in real time.....limiting my field of study to humans.
The focus on individuals may be misconstrued as an obsession, just as bovines - if they were self-conscious - would flatter themselves by the interest of humans who study bovines.
But that's a hazard one must accept when studying humans.
Generalizing is a way of un-focusing from the specific object (specimen) to a general behaviour characterizing a type. If the specimen knows it is being used to study a kind it will affect its behaviour, corrupting the outcome.
Sometimes, letting it know it is being studied may be used to study behaviour that compensates or attempts integrate within a uniform whole - disappear in the multitudes.

Narcissism is part of the defensiveness.
The idea of someone else helping, or someone knowing you more than you know yourself, is a defence reinforced by narcissism - or egotism that has placed itself on a pedestal of its own worship, demanding that the world acquiesce.

Addiction - mirroring obsession - is inherited as a potential, and only triggered bu environmental circumstances.
The first choice to try the drug, is the choice that participates in the determination of all future options you must then choose from.
William's final outcome proves that getting out of a rut, you placed yourself in, is difficult, and if you refuse to admit that you need outside help, then it becomes impossible.
The power of chemical joy is that it is an external agency that is unconscious, and cannot judge the one that uses it for help.
Other help, including the concept of god, is a judgemental conciousness, that produces defensiveness - nihilism is based on the insecurity and vulnerability self-awareness produces.

PostSubject: McGilchrist Psychology 101 - Page 21 EmptyWed Sep 25, 2019 8:33 am

I first heard of McGilchrist during the hay-day of Peterson madness when they two men taped a conversation they had.

11:00 > Anomaly - refers to "chance" or "chaos", i.e., randomness.
It is where choice has to divert from a genetically preprogrammed reactivity and improvise - it has to override its impulses.
This is where free-will is essential, and participatory in determining the organism's future, even if it is reactionary and must impose itself after-the-fact and after multiple experiences with anomalies. The mind must be creative - think outside the box.

15:30 > Truth - listen to what McGilcrist says. It is not necessary to absolutely prove a theory...in fact it is impossible to do so. Organic life approximates, establishes a probability, and then formulates a response.....survival proves its accuracy - natural selection.
Brains that can consistently formulate high probability interpretation of reality pass on themselves to the next generation.
External agencies, such as human systems, protect minds that cannot formulate accurate probabilities, thusly perpetuating unfit minds.
These become slaves to those who still can, or the entire system collapses.

19:00 > Patterns. This is the part that got me interested in him because it echoed my own views, using the exact same word I continuously repeat, to the chagrin of some and the pleasure interlocutors that harbour an animosity towards me and my positions.
A repeating sequence with a consistent rhythms, is what we call "order". The pattern is about spatial possibilities of interactivity - dimensional space, with 'time' being the measure of the speed of the sequence.
Multidimensionality implies an increase of complexity, or a limitation and eventual extinction of patterns that emerged within fewer dimensional space - expanding space is about fragmenting/multiplying dimensions.

I made a mental note to look into the book he was writing...but then he was replaced with other interests.
Recently I was reminded of McGilchrist after watching a documentary, quite by chance - on the television of all places - based on his work titled Divided Brain.      
He's worth looking into.


In the last part of the interview, when he goes into his new Book "The Porcupine is a Monkey" his position mirrors perfectly my own positions on noumena/phenomena, and how the idea/ideal overrides the real.
Nihilists no longer require their views, nor the symbols/words associated with them, to refer to real experiences.....but only to be self-consistent, i.e., words referring to words, or to books, or text, or to other minds.  
Most refuse to bring things "down to earth", suffering from a self-deception that believes it is interested in the tangible but then coming up with excuses to dismiss all attempts to do so, because they secretly, subconsciously, need for everything to remain ideological, so as to then support the delusion that it is all a social construct, or so as to nullify anything disturbing with a simple negative word.

Placing the standard in the world would disarm their subjective defensiveness.
Other than the nihilistic ideologues promoting nonsense which is validated emotionally and through self-consistent word-juggling, these poor saps have convinced themselves they have integrity, when they are the the opposite side of the same nihilistic coin, viz., the former constructing castles in the noetic clouds using words/symbols entirely detached from anything experienced, the later negating it all on the presumption that all is either in the former or on their negative latter - binary dualistic simplicity.
The very defensive mechanism that dismisses disturbing probabilities, by using ideological nonsense, masking as spiritual and/or metaphysical "truths", is the same psychology that simply flips it around, to entirely negate not only the nonsense but everything, on the ground that none of it offers absolute evidence.
Both are negations of the objectively real, but coming to the same nihilism from different directions - having to do with right/left brained methods, i.e., "positive nihilism" versus "pure nihilism" - both archive the same thing, i.e., a defensive dismissal of the threatening real; source of uncertainty and anxiety.
One seeks to usurp the experienced with an 'alternate reality"; the other seeks to maintain uncertainty or to prevent any approach towards a resolution, fearing that this will discredit its own preferences, for which it has no justification.

The twisted contorted expressions of hate is not merely the rehearsed acting performance outlined by her political handlers, but there exists a genuine presence of self-hatred distinct only to the modern european. There is a reason, why they chose her, and why our race succeeds so well at in the age of nihilism.

Female and a child are obvious for emotional appeals and manipulation. However the most salient is she was chosen because she is European. And not for the purposes that the deluded pseudo-conservative liberal Disouza proclaims despite any coincidental parallels to some historical imagery. Niggers were also taught to hate themselves, but not in the way Europeans were. IQ racial difference is key to understanding this dynamic. One with a higher awareness, a higher intelligence, will internalize self-hatred and transform it into a spirituality, a philosophy, an identity; the origins of nihilism, in other words, as Satyr writes about. Her prostrating lunging of her head at every annunciation of the "How dare you!" exclamation, is like a flagellation whip to the crowds of mind controlled automatons, to keep them focused and seriously engaged in the situation, even if they mock her.

It's all a giant mental asylum.
For example, how can you be really mad at Trump as a "liberal", judging his actions.
On the other hand, how can you still smile at Trump as a "conservative".

Left-Brain ineptness is autism.
A literal understanding of language; an inability to perceive or appreciate metaphors...which litters linguistic exchanges...and so on.
A right-brained ineptness veers into romantic idealism, and obscurantism.
One can be accused of not seeing the forest, for the trees, but one can also be guilty of not seeing the trees, a tree, for the forest.

Balance.
