Did Ikeda's hidden PowerLust give birth to his megalomania?

"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln

Trying to hold or gain power at all costs is actually megalomania - however, and while wickedness of the highest order, it is only loosely connected to the simpler 'lust for power'.

Megalomania is (the) child of 'power lust'... a child gone bad. Whatever the actual case, power lust (in itself) is natural within males and, from all indications, it is sexually inspired.

For the tyrant however, sex doesn't seem to be the main reason anymore... no longer are women considered the spoils of war and carried off in some Viking ship. But because sex was the original purpose for this instinct, it seems to automatically apply itself regardless. Whether or not one takes advantage of their powerful position doesn't matter... it's the instinct's job to drive them into a dominate position. Men plow forward persistently because the instinct (Id) doesn't know when it's not about sex. Of course, men can't always control this natural instinct within the civilized world.

Ikeda's natural instinct for power (manifested from the Id) became uncontrollable long, long ago, and is thoroughly documented in the pages of this sub and on dozens and dozens of websites all around the net.

As one of many phenomena, the sexual need is so instinctual powerful it virtually dominates and influences almost everything a male does. Within nature its preeminence is demonstrated; male animals strutting their stuff and defending their territory to ward off other males. For the strongest males, a harem of females are often kept under their control.

for example: Ikeda's exclusive group - "Kayo-Kai", is comprised of brainwashed young women who continuously "vow" to be together with Ikeda "for eternity"

A male must demonstrate his masculinity in different ways today and to succeed in business pursuits, or appearing successful, is the most effective. Under the auspices of civilization now, in the opinion of most people... money or being in a position of power represents success. It takes intelligence to stay in a dominate position however. It all amounts to luck and intelligence having taken the place of brute-strength, courage and fighting abilities.

Perfectly clear however is that power lust can sometimes transform itself into megalomania. It happens when sex gets tossed aside to fulfill another gratification... one utterly evil.

Evil? Like for instance, founding a political party controlled (illegally) by your own religious org, or creating a cult of personality with millions of teary-eyed fans, or Ikeda's stated goal of becoming the "King of the Soka Kingdom?

In summary, megalomaniacs are not just a 'bigger' bull-in-the-pasture, a rather harmless-sounding characterization, but are men of evil without an ounce of compassion. This brings up the question... how gratifying is power? Well, perhaps every leader should fear they might someday know.

Yes they should, but Ikeda doesn't fear that question - he experienced early on in life how gratifying power is, and most likely became addicted to Powerlust when Ikeda was chosen by Toda as chief enforcer for his shady loan sharking financial companies.

What are some another words for power lust? Megalomania, overbearingness, tyranny, totalitarianism, autocracy, despotism. All fitting descriptions for Ikeda's closely guarded and protectively hidden "behind closed doors" narcissistic behavior and addiction to PowerLust.

If God Ikeda were to speak one sentence of truth to the members (not likely considering his past track record), what would he say and who would listen? Perhaps it would be something like this:

You (SGI members) believe yourselves to be SO in control of your lives, but you are the ones being controlled and manipulated by unseen forces you are completely unaware of.

Imagine the impact upon the minds of the members that allowed such a truthful eye-opening statement like that to sink in without invoking the standard automatic knee-jerk reaction that effectively functions to block both hearing and understanding of any truth that threatens one's indoctrinated self-delusions. Suddenly, many more members would respond by voting with their feet than have already been doing so.
