The dark attraction of "spiritual teachers" on the ASPD and NPD spectra-don't get taken in by false spiritual "teachers"
I originally wrote the below in response to someone talking about an alleged spiritual teacher they met who they said felt like they had strong spiritual power/presence. I've been aware of this guy for a long while now, did research on him, and all indications show that he was an abusive, egomaniac, negative cult leader type who was likely either on the NPD and/or ASPD spectra (as most negative cult leaders are). This is a really important subject that is not discussed enough in a holistic way.
"Would highly recommend Dr. Hare's seminal book, Without Conscience: The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us to you, if you haven't already read it.
Why? Because of the common pattern that Dr. Hare (considered the foremost researcher of psychopathy btw) personally and repeatedly experienced in relation to the unusual magnetism/charisma of these psychopathic people. He gives an example of talking to a psychopath in prison for some truly heinous crimes (like murder, rape, etc), but after talking to them for a bit, he starts liking, believing, etc the guy-it's like he comes under some kind of hypnotic spell, and he has to consciously remind himself, "this person is a psychopath and has done horrible things to people."
There is a similar, but less intense effect with some people on the NPD spectrum more strongly/further, as well.
For example, it is well known that most cult leaders have been on either the ASPD and/or NPD spectra. Have you ever wondered how do such obviously slow vibratory, super ego attuned, imbalanced people get so many followers? It seems contradictory and illogical, doesn't it?
Bet you some people when meeting them might think, "wow, they have a strong presence, some kind of spiritual power" or the like.
I figured how this "dark magnetism/charisma attraction" works energetically. These people have such stimulated/amplified lower centers (i.e. the first 3 centers/chakras) and the reds and oranges so strong in their auric fields, that when we normies come into their field, our own first 3 centers start getting stimulated and resonated strongly. The first 3 centers are all connected to ego, sexual energy, personality, survival, materialism, and the physical body/level itself.
There is a Law built into all levels of creation-best summed up in the teaching of Like attracts, begets, and resonates with Like. The physical level and human body themselves are of a slower vibration, and physical bodies innately like and gravitate towards slower vibration because that is its own nature. So our very physical bodies and our personality level (ego, etc) react strongly to the auric emanation/field of these kinds of people.
And if a person lacks deeper, intuitive discernment, they can easily confuse that with "spiritual power" or the like, which is exactly how and why so many people get taken in by negative cult leaders.
Interestingly, I've found that the more I've raised/sped up the vibration of my physical body and human energy system, the less and less most people are interested in me, especially in any deeper connection with me. I was born hyper empathic and strongly attuned to universal love consciousness, and started meditating and spiritually seeking around the time I was 12/13 and now am in my mid 40's. I couldn't start a cult even if I tried really hard as long as I stayed honest/sincere, authentic, and unusually fast vibratory.
The simple, hard truth is, this earth school i.e. humanity is NOT an advanced one in the grand scheme of things. This is a kindergartner level school, and the slight majority of human souls are at or near that level. So based on Like attracts, begets, and resonates with Like, if you're a really old/mature soul who spends most of your life consciously raising your vibration, you're actually going to repel more and more people by nature and virtue of that Law.
It's part of the reason why a large group of people saw absolute RED in relation, and deeply wanted, to get rid of Yeshua when he was public. And according to Edgar Cayce's source, the church has greatly exaggerated the numbers of people who were into Yeshua and his messages-literally said it was mostly some women and children (obviously minus the smattering of male disciples)."
