From the book "The Psychology of Self-Esteem" by Nathaniel Branden, circa 1969...recommended by a friend. The essence of the book is that, like food, water, shelter, security, etc. "self-esteem" is also a vital human need and that if goes unmet in many regards, pathological behaviors and tendencies ultimately arise. Anyway, the passage of particular interest was this:
pp 167-8: "Then there are the persons who are basically lacking in intellectual sovereignty. The worst guilt is reserved for this psychological type, i.e., those whose approach to moral judgments is authoritarian. In such cases, the force of their moral beliefs derives, not from rational understanding, but from the say-so of "significant others" [sic "experts/authorities"]. And when the authorities' rules are breached, there is no healthy core of inner sovereignty to protect the transgressors from feelings of metaphysical worthlessness. To themselves they are nothing but their bad actions. This is one of the reasons why pathological anxiety is often experienced as fear of the disapproval of others. "Others" are perceived as the voice of objective reality--calling them to judgment. It is among such persons that guilt is most often a conscious part of the anxiety experience. Also, it is among such persons that the anxiety itself is likely to be most severe."
This matches up very well with David Hawkins' work on developing his scale of consciousness in which he suggests that the lowest rungs of the scale are shame and guilt in which the person locked in these emotions is unable to properly apprehend reality and distinguish truth from falsehood.
What I found most interesting in this passage was the feelings of "Metaphysical Worthlessness". I'm translating this as a sense of purposelessness emanating deeply from within.
My rough translation of our current predicament is: The cabal is deliberately trying to create these pathological disorders through popular culture and then preying upon these people by creating the appearance of "Popular causes" (I support the next thing) that then temporarily fills the void of the NPCs/SJWs "metaphysical worthlessness" for a short while. In short, these people are 'adrift at sea' with a deep sense of purposelessness that are easily recruited to sustain the next "insane" thing they throw at us.
I'm curious as to what you all think of this...please share/discuss!
There may be some merit to that but what I believe is that people have a hard time admitting to themselves or anybody else, that they are/were wrong. It disrupts their entire world view.
For instance, a person who is say 80 years old and rejects the idea of God does so because to admit that God exists would be to admit that they have been wrong for 80 years. For 80 years, they have lied to and fooled themselves. That's a tough pill for a lot of people to swallow. To admit that they were wrong about the vaxx is to admit they allowed themselves to be injected with an experimental cocktail that is now wreaking havoc amongst many. They can't face that. Same with every other issue, so-called 'conspiracy theory,' etc. They can't face the truth that they've been wrong, wrong, wrong; they were swindled, they were stupid, their crazy conspiracy theory friends were right, etc.
Of course, to me, it's better to recognize you were wrong and move forward in the light, but what do I know?
I agree, but the heart of the issue is why these people are wrong to begin with (using the 'vaccines' as an example), and I think this theory helps explain this phenomenon. These people lack the ability to think for themselves because they don't believe they are capable of doing so, on account of low self-esteem. That the cabal promotes this and then leverages this to further their demonic globalist goals is a given.
I have an uncle who is a PhD who fits this to a T
Yes, I bet you know many people just like your uncle... I know I do. Basically a lot of this is due to a parenting failure, which has many causes. Both parents having to or choosing to work is a big one, but there are many others.
Weird thing is dad turned out fine. Uncle is a mess, aunt disappeared in the 70s and dad turned out just fine lol.
Quite possibly. I don't know. I know some pretty humble people who don't think a lot of themselves but knew enough not to take the vaxx. It's probably a variety of different reasons for a variety of different people, or even a combination of reasons. Who knows?
Yes, true, there can be many factors in play. I think we can be humble and have healthy self-esteem at the same time though - they are not mutually exclusive.
