....... from grandiose and arrogant behavior to subtle and insidious forms of self-absorption.
Causes of Narcissism
The causes of narcissism are not fully understood, but research reveals that it's linked to a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors.
Contributing factors include:

....... like both men and woman on social media claiming to be "lightworkers" and then go on to egoically post a profile pictures of themselves with either their breasts [males too] or their ass purposefully taking up half the entire profile picture like an ad for an x-rated cam girls profile.
- Advertising and consumerism: The emphasis on material possessions and consumer goods creates a sense of entitlement and fuel narcissistic desires.
TV, Movies, and Commercials: Feeding Narcissism in America
TV, movies, and commercials contribute to the development and sustenance of narcissism in America by:
- Promoting unrealistic beauty standards: The media's portrayal of beauty and physical perfection creates unrealistic expectation and fuels "Body Dysmorphia" and narcissistic behaviors.

The Viscous Teasing of a Narcissist: A Subliminal Attack
Narcissists often employ vicious teasing as a means to subliminally attack their victims, making them the subject of ridicule.
This behavior is a subtle yet potent form of emotional manipulation, designed to erode the victim's confidence, self-esteem, and sense of security.
The Purpose of Vicious Teasing
The primary purpose of vicious teasing is to assert power and control over the victim.
By using humor or sarcasm, the narcissist can make the victim feel belittled, humiliated, or embarrassed, while simultaneously denying any malicious intent.
This tactic allows the narcissist to maintain a veneer of innocence, while secretly manipulating the victim's emotions.
Multiple Ways of Vicious Teasing
Narcissists use various forms of vicious teasing, including:
- Backhanded Compliments: Giving compliments that are laced with insults or criticisms, making the victim feel uncertain or insecure.
- Sarcastic Remarks: Using sarcasm to belittle or mock the victim, often under the guise of "just kidding" or "it was just a joke."
- Playful Teasing: Using playful teasing as a way to mask hurtful or critical comments, making the victim feel vulnerable or exposed.
- Jokes at the Victim's Expense: Making jokes or humorous comments that are actually designed to humiliate or embarrass the victim.
The "I Was Just Kidding" Defense
When confronted about their behavior, narcissists often use the "I was just kidding" defense to deflect accountability.
This tactic is designed to make the victim feel overly sensitive or paranoid, while the narcissist maintains their innocence.
Illustrating the Experience
The experience of being subjected to vicious teasing by a narcissist is likened to:
- Being poked with a sharp stick, while the narcissist claims they were just "tickling" you.
- Being forced to watch a gorey horror movie, while the narcissist claims they were just "trying to entertain" you.
- Being subjected to a constant barrage of subtle put-downs, like a slow drip of poison that if weak, may erode your confidence and self-esteem.
The vicious teasing employed by narcissists is a subtle yet potent form of emotional manipulation.

The Narcissist's Blurred Lines:
Judgment Disguised as Joking
Narcissists often employ a tactic where they use judgment under the guise of joking, making it challenging for others to discern their true intentions.
This behavior can be seen as a form of subtle manipulation, where the narcissist uses humor as a vehicle to belittle and mock others.
The "Joke" as a Veil for Judgment
When a narcissist uses a joke to mask their judgment, it can be likened to using a dagger wrapped in velvet.
On the surface, the comment may seem lighthearted or humorous, but beneath the surface lies a sharp edge of criticism or mockery.
This leaves the recipient feeling confused, hurt, and flabbergasted, unsure of how to respond to the narcissist's behavior.
The Impact on Others
The impact of this behavior on others can be significant.
Those who are unsuspecting or sensitive feel belittled, mocked, or humiliated by the narcissist's "jokes."
As the behavior continues, others may become increasingly wary of the narcissist, unsure of when they will be the target of another "joke."
This can lead to feelings of anxiety, mistrust, and avoidance.
The Wetiko Mind Virus: A parallel Explanation
The concept of the wetiko mind virus offers an avenue explanation for the narcissist's behavior.
According to native american spiritual traditions, the wetiko mind virus is a malevolent force that feeds on the negative emotions and energies of others.
Narcissists, driven by this influence, use their behavior to manipulate and control others, feeding their own ego and sense of power.
Insights:
- The Poisoned Arrow: The narcissist's "joke" can be likened to a poisoned arrow, where the humor is used to deliver a toxic message that can cause harm to the recipient.

The narcissist's inability to differentiate between judgment and joking has a significant impact on those around them.
By understanding this behavior and its roots in the wetiko mind virus, we can gain insight into the narcissist's psyche and develop more effective strategies for navigating relationships and promoting emotional safety.
The Nut Shell Game: A Narcissist's Distraction Tactic
In emotionally abusive relationships, narcissists often employ the "nut shell game" to distract their victims from analyzing them deeper and gaining access to their insidious arsenal of mind control tactics.
This tactic involves presenting a simplistic, charming, and vulnerable exterior, while concealing their true nature and intentions.
The Fragmented Mind
Narcissists often develop a "fragmented" mind [similar to MKultra] as a result of earlier abuses or traumas in their lives.
This fragmentation leads to a disconnection between their conscious and subconscious mind, allowing them to compartmentalize their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.
As a result, they present a facade of confidence, charm, or vulnerability, while hiding their true nature and intentions.
The Cycle of Abuse
The development of narcissistic tendencies is linked to earlier experiences of abuse or trauma.
For instance, a person who experienced emotional and or physical [sexual] abuse in their childhood develop narcissistic traits as a coping mechanism.
This creates a vicious cycle, where the narcissist seeks out relationships that allow them to exert control and dominance over others, often repeating the patterns of abuse they experienced themselves. [which is normal in their reality]
The Analogy of the Mask
The narcissist's behavior can be likened to wearing a mask. On the surface, the mask may appear charming, confident, or vulnerable.
However, beneath the mask lies a complex web of insecurities, fears, and unresolved traumas. The narcissist's goal is to keep the mask intact, preventing others from seeing their true nature and intentions.
Breaking the Cycle
Healing from narcissistic abuse requires a deep understanding of the underlying dynamics and patterns. It involves recognizing the tactics used by narcissists, setting boundaries, and seeking support.
By acknowledging the complexity of narcissistic behavior and its roots in earlier experiences, we can work towards breaking the cycle of abuse and promoting healing and recovery.
The "nut shell game" is a powerful tactic used by narcissists to distract their victims from analyzing them deeper.
By understanding the dynamics of narcissistic behavior and its connection to earlier experiences of abuse or trauma, we can better recognize the signs of narcissistic abuse and work towards healing and recovery.
The Narcissist's Reaction: A Glimpse into the Shadow
When confronted with assertiveness and truth, a narcissist's reaction can be telling.
Most often with narcissists subconsciously reveal, if only for a moment, the [demonic] contrived face reaction, akin to the Joker's insidious leer, unbeknownst to them.
This subconscious release in the form of a insidious facial Leer, reveals a glimpse into the narcissist's inner "chaotic" workings.
This response can be seen as a manifestation of the shadow archetype, as described by Carl Jung.
The Shadow Archetype
The shadow represents the repressed or hidden aspects of one's personality. In the case of a narcissist, the shadow is comprised of insecurities, fears, and unresolved traumas.
When confronted, the narcissist's shadow may emerge, revealing a glimpse of their inner turmoil and a rare glimpse into the demonic narcissistic leer.
The Trifecta: Ahriman, Asura, and Insecure Egos
The concept of Ahriman and Asura spirits can be seen as symbolic of the destructive forces that may influence an individual's behavior.
When combined with insecure egos, this trifecta can create a powerful dynamic that drives the narcissist's actions.
This is likened to a puppeteer controlling a marionette, with the narcissist being unaware of the forces manipulating their behavior.
The Analogy of the Puppet
The narcissist's behavior can be seen as a puppet show, with the strings being pulled by deeper forces.
When confronted, the puppet may jerk or twitch, revealing the presence of [possession] the puppeteer.
Similarly, the narcissist's reaction exposes the underlying dynamics driving their behavior.
The narcissist's reaction to being stood up to can be a revealing moment, exposing the complexities of their inner workings.
By understanding the shadow archetype and the influence of destructive forces, we can gain insight into the narcissist's behavior and develop strategies for navigating these complex dynamics.
The Intersection of Narcissism and Demonic Possession: A Catholic Perspective
In Catholicism, demonic possession is understood as a state of being under the influence or control of malevolent spiritual entities.
I can definitely assure you that real Demonic Possession when first initiated into the 2nd Chakra and Emotional Body looks nothing like "The Exorcist" movie;
....... as the Road to Demonic Possession begins with "good intentions"
....... and those initially possessed by demonic entities, at first; usually have no clue that they are Hosting a Subtle but Powerful Demonic Force.
When examining narcissistic behavior through this lens, many parallels can be drawn.
The Analogy of the Puppet Master
A narcissist's actions can be likened to a puppet master controlling a marionette.
In this analogy, the puppeteer represents the forces of darkness or malevolent entities that are influencing an individual's behavior.
The narcissist, unaware of these forces, becomes a 3D vessel for their non-corporeal manipulation.
The Concept of Spiritual Warfare
In Catholicism, spiritual warfare is a real and ongoing battle between good and evil.
Narcissistic behavior can be seen as a manifestation of this spiritual struggle, where the individual is caught in a web of deception and manipulation.
The Role of Free Will
Catholic teaching emphasizes the importance of free will in spiritual matters. A narcissist's choices and actions, though influenced by various factors, are still a product of their own free will.
This raises questions about the nature of accountability and the role of spiritual guidance in addressing narcissistic behavior.
The intersection of narcissism and demonic possession, viewed through the lens of Catholicism, offers a complex and multifaceted perspective. By exploring these themes, we can gain a deeper understanding of the human condition and the ongoing struggle between good and evil.

The Dual Nature of Narcissists and the Gemini Twins: A Comparative Analysis
The Narcissist's Dual Nature: A 2-Faced Janus Phenomenon
The comparison of the narcissist's dual nature to the 2-faced Roman god Janus is a fitting analogy.
Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and endings, is often depicted with two faces looking in opposite directions, symbolizing the dual nature of the narcissist's personality.
The Two Faces of the Narcissist
The narcissist's dual nature can be seen in the way they present themselves to the world.
On one hand, they may display a charming, charismatic, and confident exterior, which can be likened to the face of Janus that looks forward, representing their public persona.

- Public vs. private persona: The narcissist's public image is vastly different from their private behavior, where they are more controlling, manipulative, and emotionally abusive.
- Grandiosity vs. insecurity: The narcissist's grandiose exterior hide deep-seated insecurities and vulnerabilities, which attempt to compensate for through their unbalanced behavior.
- Charm vs. manipulation: The narcissist's charm and charisma are used to manipulate others and achieve their own ends, rather than as a genuine expression of their personality.

The narcissist's dual nature, often likened to the 2 Faced Roman god Janus, can be compared to the astrological traits associated with Gemini Twins.
Geminis are known for their adaptable and versatile nature, often presenting two distinct sides to their personality.
The Light and Dark Sides of Geminis
Geminis are often characterized by their quick wit, adaptability, and communicative nature.
However, when Gemini traits manifest in a negative way, they exhibit a dual nature that is reminiscent of the narcissist's 2-face Janus-like behavior. This can include:
- Duality: Geminis are known for their ability to see multiple perspectives, but in a negative context, this can manifest as duplicity or dishonesty.
- Unpredictability: Geminis are often unpredictable and prone to mood swings, which can make it challenging for others to navigate their relationships with them.

The Narcissist's Tactics: Gilding the Lilies and Comparing Apples to Pears
Narcissists often employ various tactics to manipulate and control others, including "gilding the lilies" and "comparing apples to pears."
These tactics are used to distort reality, deflect criticism, and maintain a sense of superiority.
Gilding the Lilies: Playing Dumb
"Gilding the lilies" is a phrase that means to embellish or ornament something that is already beautiful or adequate.
In the context of narcissistic behavior, it refers to the Narcissist's Dichotomy:
Playing Dumb vs. Playing Smart
The phrase "gilding the lilies" can be applied to the narcissist's behavior in two distinct ways:
- Pretending to be intelligent and well-informed to attract attention
- and Pretending to be ignorant or uninformed to avoid accountability
The first phenomenon is particularly interesting, as it reveals the narcissist's tendency to manipulate others through a facade of intellectual superiority.
Playing Smart: A Facade of Intellectual Superiority
When narcissists pretend to be intelligent and well-informed, they often do so to attract attention and admiration from others.
This behavior can be seen as a form of emotional manipulation, where the narcissist uses their perceived intelligence to control and influence others.
By presenting themselves as authorities on a particular subject, narcissists can create a sense of dependence in others, who feel inferior or less knowledgeable.
The Consequences of Playing Smart
The consequences of playing smart can be far-reaching, including:
- Intellectual stagnation: The narcissist's focus on appearing intelligent rather than actually learning and growing leads to intellectual stagnation and a lack of personal growth.
The narcissist's tendency to pretend to be intelligent and well-informed is a complex phenomenon that reveals their deep-seated need for validation and control.
The Masquerade Ball
The masquerade ball serves as another fitting analogy for the narcissist's display of intellectual superiority.
Just as guests at a masquerade ball wear masks to conceal their true identities and create a sense of mystery and intrigue, the narcissist uses their display of intelligence to create a mask of intellectual superiority.
This mask is used to hide insecurities, manipulate others, and create a sense of awe and admiration.
Behind the Mask
Beneath the mask of intellectual superiority, the narcissist's true self is driven by a deep-seated need for validation and a fear of being exposed as ignorant or incompetent.
The mask serves as a protective barrier, shielding for the narcissist's true self and preventing others from seeing the reality behind the facade.
The Consequences of Wearing the Mask
The consequences of wearing the mask of intellectual superiority can be far-reaching, including:
- Emotional exhaustion: The constant need to maintain the mask can be emotionally exhausting, leading to burnout and decreased motivation.
- Damaged relationships: The narcissist's mask can create resentment and mistrust in others, leading to damaged relationships and social isolation.
- Lack of personal growth: The narcissist's focus on maintaining the mask can prevent them from engaging in meaningful self-reflection and personal growth.
The parable of the masquerade ball highlights the narcissist's tendency to create a facade of intellectual superiority in order to attract attention and admiration from others.
The Opposite Spectrum: Playing Dumb vs. Playing Smart
The contrast between playing dumb and playing smart highlights the narcissist's adaptability and willingness to manipulate others to achieve their goals.
While playing smart is used to attract attention and admiration;
....... playing dumb is used to avoid accountability.
Playing Dumb: A Tactical Maneuver
Playing dumb is seen as a tactical maneuver used by narcissists to avoid taking responsibility for their actions.
By feigning ignorance or incompetence, narcissists can shift the focus away from their own flaws and onto the perceived shortcomings of others.
This behavior can be likened to a:
Magician's Misdirection:
Playing dumb is indeed likened to
a magician's misdirection,
where the narcissist uses their predatory behavior skills to distract from their
true intentions or flaws.
By feigning ignorance or
incompetence, the narcissist can create a diversion that draws attention away from their own shortcomings and
onto someone elses.
Examples:
The contrast between playing dumb and playing smart can be illustrated through various analogies and examples:
- The Smoke Bomb: Playing dumb is likened to throwing a smoke bomb creating a cloud of confusion and uncertainty that obscures the truth and makes it difficult for others to hold the narcissist accountable for their actions.
- The actor's script: Narcissists can be seen as actors, following a script that is designed to manipulate others and achieve their own ends. Playing dumb or smart is simply a matter of following the script and playing the role.
- The game of chess: Playing dumb and playing smart can be seen as strategic moves in a game of chess, where the narcissist is trying to outmaneuver their opponents and achieve checkmate.
The contrast between playing dumb and playing smart highlights the narcissist's adaptability and willingness to manipulate others to achieve their goals.
The analogy of the Masquerade Ball serves as a fitting reminder of the narcissist's display of intellectual superiority of intelligence, and highlights the importance of promoting authenticity and self-acceptance in our interactions with others
Comparing Apples to Pears: Aversion Tactics
"Comparing apples to pears" is an idiomatic expression that refers to the act of comparing two things that are fundamentally different.
Narcissists often use this tactic to avoid criticism or accountability by comparing unrelated concepts or ideas. By doing so, they can create confusion, obscure the truth, and maintain a sense of control.
Mimicking and Mocking: A Defense Mechanism
When narcissists are called out for their behavior, they often resort to mimicking and mocking those who have exposed them.
This can be seen as a defense mechanism, where the narcissist attempts to deflect attention and criticism by ridiculing or belittling others.
Peeking Behind the Narcissist's Curtains of Reality
When someone peeks behind the narcissist's curtains of reality and calls them out based on their dysfunctional behavior, they are often met with resistance and hostility.
The narcissist feels threatened by the exposure of their true nature, and will resort to various tactics to maintain their hidden facade.
Insights:
- The Mask of Ignorance: The narcissist's ability to "play dumb" can be likened to wearing a mask of ignorance. By pretending to be uninformed or unaware, the narcissist can create confusion and deflect criticism.
- The Art of Distraction: Comparing apples to pears can be seen as a form of distraction, where the narcissist attempts to divert attention away from their behavior and onto unrelated topics.

The narcissist's tactics of gilding the lilies and comparing apples to pears are indeed complex and multifaceted.
The Narcissist's Need for Credit: Hijacking Random Acts of Chance
Narcissists often exhibit a compelling need to take credit for spontaneous happenings or random acts of chance that just so happen to bring joy and excitement to others.
This behavior is seen as a manifestation of their deep-seated desire for attention, admiration, and control.
Example:
The License Parable
The scenario, where a group of people traveling in a car, and are playing a game of guessing license plate numbers, illustrates this behavior perfectly.
Within the game, the people traveling in the car are guessing what the license plate numbers might be on the other cars also traveling on the highway.
Case in Point
And, when the correct license plate number is spotted on the highway by everyone else in the group, [except the narcissist] the narcissist then suddenly jumps into attention, claiming sole credit for being the only one in the car to state the correct license plate number, despite having contributed nothing orally to the games prediction.
The "Ringing the Town Bell" Phenomenon
The phrase "ringing the town bell" is a fitting analogy for the narcissist's behavior in this scenario.
Just as the town bell was once used to signal important events or announcements, the narcissist's sudden claim of credit serves as a way to draw attention to themselves and announce their supposed triumph.
The Psychology Behind the Behavior
This behavior can be attributed to the narcissist's insatiable need for admiration and attention.
By taking credit for random acts of chance or spontaneous happenings, the narcissist is able to feed their ego and reinforce their sense of self-importance.
The Impact on Others
This behavior can have a significant impact on others, particularly those who are aware of the narcissist's lack of contribution to the outcome.
It can lead to feelings of frustration, annoyance, and even anger, as others may feel that the narcissist is unfairly Poaching and taking credit for their efforts, insights and enjoyment.
The narcissist's need to take credit for spontaneous happenings and random acts of chance is a complex behavior that is driven by their deep-seated desire for attention and admiration.
The Narcissistic Driver: A Study in Mental and Emotional Abuse
The scenario, where a narcissistic driver uses purposeful accelerations, excessive braking, and near-hits to manipulate and control family members and friends in the car, is a accurate account for most narcissist's behavior in relationships.
This behavior is seen as a form of mental and emotional abuse, where the narcissist uses fear, anxiety, and unpredictability to assert control over others.
The Car as a Symbol of Control
The car can be seen as a symbol of control, freedom, and power.
For the narcissistic driver, the car becomes an extension of their ego, allowing them to exert control over others and demonstrate their supposed superiority.
By using the car as a tool for manipulation, the narcissist can create a sense of fear and anxiety in their passengers.
The "Feeding Frenzies" of the Narcissist
The concept of "feeding frenzies" is particularly apt in this scenario. The narcissist's behavior can be seen as a form of feeding off the fearful emotions and reactions of the others trapped in the car with the narcissist.
By creating a sense of fear and anxiety in their passengers, the narcissist is able to feed their own ego and sense of power.
The Impact on Passengers
The impact of this behavior on the passengers can be significant. They feel a sense of fear, anxiety, and unpredictability, never knowing when the narcissistic driver will engage in another episode of reckless behavior or road rage.
This leads to feelings of hypervigilance, as passengers become increasingly attuned to the narcissist's behavior and try to anticipate their next psychotic move.
Analogies and Insights
- The Hostage Situation: The scenario likened to a hostage situation, where the passengers are held captive by the narcissistic driver's behavior. The narcissist uses wreckless driving, fear and anxiety to control the passengers, creating a sense of powerlessness and helplessness.

The Narcissist's Underhanded Tactics: A Study in verbal Manipulation
The behavior, where a narcissist makes mumblings and smart remarks under their breath, is a classic example of passive-aggressive manipulation.
This tactic is designed to be subtle, yet effective, in conveying disdain or insult while maintaining a veneer of innocence.
1 - The Setup: Mumbled Insults
The narcissist's mumbled remarks can be likened to a whispered insult, barely audible but intended to be perceived by the victim. This behavior is often accompanied by a nonchalant demeanor, making it difficult for the victim to discern the narcissist's true intentions.

When the victim responds with "what was that you just said?"
....... the narcissist, seizes the opportunity to play innocent by responding with;
....... "oh, it was nothing",
....... enabling the narcissist to feign ignorance while actually reveling in the fact that they have successfully insulted you through the already "manipulated" situation.
3 - The Feed: Narcissistic Supply
The narcissist's ultimate goal is to feed off the victim's confusion and reaction.
By denying any wrong-doing and feigning innocence, the narcissist is able to derive a sense of satisfaction and power from the manipulative interaction.

This rues is a defensive mechanism, used to protect the narcissist's ego and maintain control over the conversation in favor of their direction of flow.
The Victim's Reaction: Amusement and Frustration
As the victim, one may feel amazed and frustrated by the narcissist's behavior, wondering why they would go to such bizarre lengths to manipulate the conversation.
The narcissist's actions can be likened to a circus act, where they perform a series of absurd and confusing maneuvers to achieve their goal of control and domination.
Insights
The Narcissist's Actions: A Juggler's Act
The narcissist's actions can also be likened to a juggler's act, where they expertly juggle multiple narratives, emotions, and reactions to keep their victims off balance and confused.

The Narcissist's Chameleon Nature:
A Study in "copy-cat" Manipulation; Narcissists are known for their ability to adapt and mimic the personalities of others, often to achieve a sense of control and manipulation.
This behavior is likened to a chameleon changing its color to blend in with its surroundings, allowing the narcissist to create a false sense of connection and rapport with others.
Here, the n
arcissist's chameleon nature is used to create a common denominator or bridge with others, allowing them to manipulate the emotional and mental bodies of unsuspecting people.
This can be done to live vicariously through others who have more exciting lives, or to mock and belittle them while pretending to be like them.
The Carbon Copying of Personalities
When a narcissist carbon copies someone's personality, they are essentially stealing their identity and using it for their own gain.
This can be seen as a form of emotional theft, where the narcissist is taking someone else's personality and using it to feed their own ego.
The narcissist may also mock and belittle the person they are copying, all while pretending to be like them.
The Collection of Masks
The narcissist's behavior can be likened to collecting masks, where they gather and wear different personalities like costumes.
This collection of masks allows the narcissist to adapt to different situations and people, always staying one step ahead of their victims.
However, beneath the surface, the narcissist is still the same person, driven by their need for control and admiration.
Insights:
- The Actor's Role: The narcissist's behavior can be likened to an actor playing different roles, where they adopt different personalities and traits to fit the situation. However, unlike an actor, the narcissist becomes fully invested in the role and loses sight of their true self.

The Narcissist's Defensive
Mechanisms: A Study in Misery Loves Company
Narcissists often employ defensive mechanisms to shift the focus away from their own flaws and shortcomings.
When confronted with constructive criticism, they resort to bringing up everyone else's faults, a tactic that can be likened to the phrase "misery loves company."
By doing so, the narcissist attempts to deflect attention from their own vulnerabilities and create a sense of shared imperfection.
The Analogy of Misery Loves Company
The phrase "misery loves company" suggests that individuals who are unhappy or struggling often seek to bring others down to their level.
In the context of narcissistic behavior, this phrase takes on a new meaning. By highlighting others' faults, the narcissist is able to momentarily distract from their own shortcomings and create a sense of camaraderie in imperfection.
The Scenario: A Narcissistic Female's Reaction
The scenario, where a narcissistic female at the check-out counter at a department store, accidentally spills a product on the cashier's counter and then immediately becomes defensive when her boyfriend tries to positively comment on her clumsiness;
....... illustrates the narcissist's need to maintain a perfect image.
The female narcissist's reaction, including her "malevolent eye piercing look of death," suggests a deep-seated insecurity and a willingness to lash out at others to protect her ego.
The Psychotic Attempt to Shut Down Criticism
The narcissist's behavior in this scenario can be seen as a psychotic attempt to shut down criticism and maintain control.
By giving her boyfriend a malevolent look, the narcissist is attempting to intimidate him into silence, rather than acknowledging her own mistake and taking responsibility for it.
Analogies and Insights
- The Porcupine's Quills: The narcissist's defensive mechanisms can be likened to a porcupine's quills, which are used to protect itself from predators. Similarly, the narcissist uses their defensive tactics to protect their ego from criticism and vulnerability.

The narcissist's defensive mechanisms, including bringing up others' faults and becoming defensive when constructively criticized, are complex and multifaceted.
Narcissist
Case File - 1:
Narcissists often vicariously act a fool and initiate chaos, and in the process they;
....... lets say " make a mess on the floor"
....... and then afterwards a loved one steps in and gives loving constructive criticism to the narcissist on the "mess they made and left on the floor"
This "loving constructive criticism" triggers the narcissist into "full-gear flamboyant" mode;
....... completely ignoring the "constructive criticism" from the loving family member;
....... blowing it all out of proportion and verbally throwing it all back in the face of the loving family member;
....... and now the narcissist is aiming its gun-sites on the loving family member, erroneously acting as if the loving family member was verbally attacking them and treating them like a "Child" or making them look like a "fool";
....... now enabling the narcissist to "play" this "angle" right back at them;
....... as a "crutch" to turn the scenario around;
....... summoning up bad energy, and focusing that all that negative energy on the innocent loving family member who was indeed only trying to help with constructive criticism in the first place;
....... enabling the narcissist to now "take hold of the reigns" of this geoengineered scenario and "ride" it in their favor;
....... in which the narcissist will now sass off with an attitude stating that:
"Oh, well then you tell me how to do it then, since I don't know what I'm doing and you seem to have all the answers along with so many rules"
....... projecting "slander of charater" at the innocent family member who was only trying to give constructive criticism in the first place.
Whats Does all this Purposeful ill Behavior Actually Mean
The Narcissist's Tactical Maneuvering: A Study of Deflection and Projection
When a narcissist initiates chaos and makes a mess, they often set themselves up for constructive criticism from loved ones.
However, instead of accepting feedback and learning from their mistakes;
....... narcissists tend to deflect accountability and shift the focus onto the person providing constructive criticism.
The Narcissist's Reaction: Full Gear Flamboyant Mode
In this scenario described above, the narcissist's reaction to constructive criticism is to go into "full gear flamboyant" mode;
....... ignoring the feedback and instead [feeling attacked] focusing on perceived slights and criticisms from the loved one.
This behavior is likened to a smoke screen, designed to obscure the narcissist's own culpability and shift attention onto the perceived faults of others.
The Angled Crutch: Playing the Victim
The narcissist's ability to turn the scenario around and make the loving family member the focus of negative attention is a classic tactic.
By portraying themselves as victims of criticism or "know-it-alls" narcissists can garner sympathy and deflect accountability.
This behavior is likened to a jujitsu move, where the narcissist uses the loved one's attempts to help as a means to gain the upper hand of control in the situation.
Projection and Slander of Character
The narcissist's statement, "Oh, well then you tell me how to do it all then since I don't know what I'm doing and you have so many rules," is a prime example of projection.
By attributing their own flaws and insecurities to the loved one, the narcissist is able to deflect attention from their own behavior and create a narrative that portrays the loved one as controlling or critical.
The Consequences of Narcissistic Behavior
The consequences of narcissistic behavior can be far-reaching, including:
- Damaged relationships: The narcissist's tendency to deflect accountability and shift blame can damage relationships and erode trust.
- Emotional exhaustion: Loved ones may feel emotionally exhausted and drained from dealing with the narcissist's behavior.
- Lack of personal growth: The narcissist's refusal to accept feedback and learn from mistakes can prevent personal growth and development.
The narcissist's behavior in this scenario is a classic example of deflection and projection.
The parable of the smoke screen and jujitsu move highlights the narcissist's ability to manipulate situations and shift attention onto others, while avoiding accountability for their own behavior.
NARCISSIST CASE FILE - 2 :
There is narcissistic videoman who self volunteers himself to video and post on social media local bands who play at local pubs and also perform free "concerts in the park".
We will use a faux name as to protect the identity of the real individual;
....... and refer to this person as "wesley" or "wes".
"Wesley" likes to egoically "perform" during the day of the shows he's going to be recording on his cell phone that day;
....... complete with dressing up like "kieth richards" with the added "attractant" of bright blue hair so as to be seen in the crowd [similar to a hunter, wearing a flourescent orange "hunting" vest so as "to also be seen"]
....... He incessantly predatorially walks around the pub or "concert in the park" long before the show, like a peacock with plumage in full gear display;
....... strutting around like ric flair wearing his most precious robe;
....... crocodile-speaking to the crowd with rockstar regalia on, including 9 rings on 10 fingers and using "industry lingo" only responding to others in the pub or "concert in the park" who "first" acknowledge his ego and "Feed the machine" that drives his egoic reason for being;
....... in that every action he performs, every word spoken and every idiosyncrasy and body wave performed, can indeed be likened to a "sudo illusionist" egoically preparing his insecure mind back stage before a preformance;
....... likened to a jaded primadonna who needs the egoic "theatrics" as a part of his "spider-web" of attention feeding.
The regalia he wears is part of his "assault" attracting attention like a peacock wearing sequins akin to "fishing lures" equally equipped with barbed hooks to mentally and emotionally hook the unsuspecting to his egoic Braggadocious web of attention feeding;
....... and he wont give conviviality unless you "break the ice" first, showing your indeed "feeding his machine" managed by his ego likened to the likes of the "wizard" in the "wizard of oz" movie;
....... when the wizard was caught hiding behind the curtains of reality single handed orchestrating his own egoic " illusion of mana"
What it Really Means
The Narcissistic Video Man's Performance: A Study in Ego and Attention-Seeking
Wesley, the narcissistic videoman, exemplifies the characteristics of an individual driven by ego and a need for attention.
His behavior, likened to a peacock displaying its plumage, is a deliberate attempt to draw attention to himself and feed his ego.
The Rockstar Regalia: A Symbol of Egoic Display
Wesley's rockstar regalia, complete with 9 rings on 10 fingers, serves as a visual representation of his egoic display. The excessive use of jewelry and flashy attire is a tactic to attract attention and admiration from his "followers" and potential others.
This behavior can indeed be likened to a fishing lure, equipped with barbed hooks, designed to mentally and emotionally hook the unsuspecting into his web of attention-seeking.
The parable of the Male Chauvinist at the Nightclub
The behavior of the male chauvinist at the nightclub can be seen as an analogous phenomenon to Wesley's egoic rockstar regalia.
Both individuals are using a form of display to attract attention and admiration from others, albeit in different contexts.
The Display of Dominance
The male chauvinist's display of dominance, complete with unbuttoned dress shirt, gold chains, hairy chest and an excessive cologne, serves as a visual representation of his egoic display.
This behavior is designed to attract attention and admiration from women and men, and to assert dominance and control.
The Hunting Analogy
The male chauvinist's behavior can be likened to a hunter using deer urine attractant to lure in prey.
Just as the hunter uses the urine attractant to manipulate the deer's behavior, the male chauvinist uses cologne as his display of sensual dominance to manipulate women's perceptions and attract them into a potential romantic or sexual encounter.
The "What's Your Sign" Gambit
The "what's your sign" gambit is a classic example of a pickup line used to initiate conversation and create a sense of connection with women.
However, in the context of the male chauvinist's behavior, this line can be seen as a tactic to manipulate women into a sexual encounter, rather than a genuine attempt to form a connection out of true love.
The Ego-Feeding Behavior
The male chauvinist's behavior, like Wesley's rockstar regalia, is driven by a deep-seated need for ego validation and attention.
The conquest of women and men serves as a means to feed the ego, rather than a genuine expression of love or affection.
The parable between the male chauvinist at the nightclub and Wesley's rockstar regalia highlights the similarities between these two forms of egoic display.
Both behaviors are driven by a deep-seated need for attention and admiration, and both can be seen as manipulative tactics to achieve a desired outcome.
By understanding the motivations behind these behaviors, we can develop more effective strategies for promoting healthy relationships and emotional intelligence.
Body Waves: A Direct Link to Decoding Narcissistic Behavior
The concept of "body waves" refers to the subtle, often unconscious, movements and gestures that individuals exhibit in social interactions.
In the case of narcissists like Wesley, their body waves can be seen as a manifestation of their egoic display.
By analyzing these body waves, one can gain insight into the narcissist's behavior and motivations.
The Sudo Illusionist: A Master of Egoic Manipulation
Wesley's behavior can be likened to that of a sudo illusionist, who creates an elaborate display of magic and spectacle to distract from the reality behind the curtain.
Similarly, Wesley's egoic display serves as a smokescreen, hiding his true insecurities and vulnerabilities.
The Wizard of Oz Analogy: A Powerful Metaphor
The analogy of the Wizard of Oz, hiding behind the curtains of reality, is a powerful metaphor for Wesleys behavior.
Like the Wizard, Wesley creates an illusion of power and control, while hiding behind a mask of egoic display.
This behavior is a testament to the narcissist's need for attention and admiration [and the lengths they’ll go through just to get it] and highlights the importance of understanding the narcissist's motivations and behaviors.
Wesley's behavior, as a narcissistic videoman, is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon.
By analyzing his behavior through the lens of egoic display, body waves, and attention-seeking, we can gain a deeper understanding of the narcissist's psyche and motivations.
The Narcissist's Quest for Attention: A Study in Egoic Display
Wesley's behavior, as a narcissistic videoman, is a quintessential example of an individual driven by a insatiable need for attention and admiration.
When he's dressed all up for attention, strutting like a peacock, and speaking to others, his every action is calculated to elicit a reaction and feed his ego.
The Peacock Analogy: A Fitting Metaphor
The peacock's display of plumage is a natural phenomenon, where the bird showcases its vibrant colors and impressive feathers to attract a mate or assert dominance.
Similarly, Wesleys behavior can be seen as a form of egoic display, where he uses his attire, speech, and actions to attract attention and admiration from his followers and again, potential others.
However, unlike the peacock, Wesleys motivations are driven by a deep-seated need for validation and admiration, rather than a natural instinct.
Speaking for Attention: A Tool for Egoic Validation
When Wesley speaks, his words are often laced with industry jargon and self-aggrandizing language, designed to impress others and feed his ego.
This behavior can be likened to a performance, where Wesley is the actor, and his audience is the crowd of followers and unsuspecting admirers.
By speaking in a way that is calculated to impress, Wesley is able to validate his own ego and feel important.
Walking for Attention: A Display of Egoic Posturing
Wesleys gait and posture can be seen as a form of egoic posturing, where he uses his body language to convey "rockstar" confidence and superiority. [cuz we all just wanna be big rockstars]
This behavior is indeed likened to a male peacock in search of a mate, where he displays his vibrant plumage and performs a courtship ritual to attract attention and admiration.
Again, however, in Wesleys case, his behavior is driven by a deep-seated need for egoic validation, rather than a natural instinct.
Mistaking Fan Love for Ego Love
Wesley mistakes the honest attention and admiration of his followers and fellow concert goers at the show;
....... for love and appreciation of his ego:
- Deep-seated need for validation: Wesley has a strong desire for people to admire and appreciate him, which stems from a deep-seated insecurity.
- Mistaking fan love for ego love: When people show appreciation for Wesley's work (e.g. Wesley's support for local bands through video documentation), he mistakes it for admiration of him as a person. In other words, in his own mind, he actually thinks people like only him, not just his work.
- Narcissistic ego: Wesley's sense of self-worth is heavily influenced by how others perceive him. He craves admiration and attention to feed his ego and feel important.
In essence, Wesley's behavior is driven by a need for external validation to compensate for his own insecurities, rather than a genuine passion for his work or a healthy sense of self-worth.
This confusion leads to an inflated sense of self-importance and a deepening of narcissistic tendencies.
The Illusion of Admiration
The narcissist's need for admiration and attention can create an illusion of admiration;
....... where the individual becomes convinced that others admire and appreciate "them" for who they are;
....... rather than for the video work or service they present.
This illusion can be damaging, as it reinforces the narcissist's egoic display and prevents them from developing genuine relationships with others.

The 2nd Chakra and Emotional Body
The 2nd chakra, associated with emotions and creativity, is a vulnerable point for narcissists;
....... allowing dark forces to attach themselves and influence their emotional body.
This leads to a wide range of negative emotions and behaviors, including anger, aggression, and a lack of empathy.
The vulnerability of narcissists to dark forces such as Ahriman and Asura spirits;
....... as well as the Wetiko mind virus influences, is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon.
By truly understanding the concept of astral parasites and subtle demonic possession, we can gain insight into the narcissist's behavior and develop more effective strategies for promoting emotional safety and well-being.
