Phallic Narcissistic Personality





The least amount of narcissism and therefore the least commitment to the Sociopathic Style锟?br>

is in the phallic-narcissistic personality. This is a person who is a perfectionist and who


is very concerned about self-image. They are fairly reality based and can be quite


successful. They often have to be right. Their grandiosity is held in check to a great


degree by the reality of their accomplishments. They are often driven to succeed and are


often seen as successful. Sexuality for these individuals is based on proving their own


sexual attractiveness and their power is derived from the kind of person they can conquer


sexually and often by the number of people they can conquer sexually. Life is seen as a


problem to be conquered with physical skill and mental prowess.





They do not live through relationships of the heart and have a difficulty truly loving.


Their image of self is as a lover and sexual conqueror but not as one who loves. People


relating to them will not feel loved and often will feel judged and inadequate.





f the person in a relationship is willing to confront them with how they feel and 锟絣ay it on


the line锟?that they must feel their love or they cannot continue to be in the relationship


they are the most likely of the group of narcissists to respond with looking at themselves


realistically and therefore most likely to give up the narcissistic style and thereby


change.





Narcissistic Personality Disorder





Narcissism is a term that comes out 锟紼go Psychology锟?used to describe an individual who is


very self-centered and 锟絠n love with his or her own image.'; This term comes from the


myth of Narcissus who had the inability to feel or express love. Significant in this myth is


that Ego was the consort of Narcissus. Because he did not say 锟絀 love you.锟?She, although


loving him very much could say the words to him. He believed he was unloved.





Of significance in this myth is that narcissism is based in a relationship process. Unlike


many psychiatric disorders, it does not develop independent of relationships. Because it


develops in relationship disorders, it manifests in relationships and can only be changed


through a relationship process.





We all have narcissism to one degree or another. The problem evolves when it is the dominant


aspect of our relationships.





The narcissist operates from an image they hold of themselves in their head. They do not


operate from the reality of feelings in their body. This does not mean they do not feel. It


means their feelings are generated by what they believe about themselves and others in there


head. They do not 锟絫est锟?these beliefs through 锟絩eal锟?interactions with people. They live in


their heads, not their bodies.





Because they froze the ability of the body to feel at a young age they never have the


opportunity to correct the picture they hold of themselves in their head. We all hold


pictures of ourselves in our head. We are willing or desire to change these pictures of


ourselves on the basis of feedback from others and accurate assessment of who we are.





When the narcissist is confronted with a reality of who they are, and that differs from


their mental picture, they discount the information. If the information persists or gets


stronger they will rage at the information or the informer.





Because they are frozen inside, they have to cling to the image they hold. If you try to go


in deeper, you will discover that there is no depth to the person. The narcissist knows that


and will prevent you from going beneath the surface at all costs. Any penetration of the


surface reveals the emptiness they experience from within.





Depending on the degree of narcissism, the person possesses increasing degrees of


grandiosity, self centeredness, disdain for others who don锟絫 match up to their standards as


well as feelings of omnipotence. In the extreme they see themselves as gods or goddesses who


are above humanity. The degree to which one is narcissistic is the degree to which one does


not accept their humanity.





The Borderline Personality





This personality does not look like it is narcissistic at first glance. They don锟絫 have the


inner strength to maintain the fa锟絘de the way the other personalities do. They will swing


from a position of high competence and distain for others to depression and self-doubt


believing they are much worse than others. These people can be very confusing because they


often are bright and very skillful and yet, never really make it in life. Because they


cannot maintain the image of success they often quit before really getting to the plaAre any of these personality types morons, likely to seize the reins of a safety-critical project ?
Life is beauty gazing at his own reflection in a house of mirrors manifesting his multi faceted face.





Narcissus was innocent and worshipped today as he always was and will be, for he is Beauty, Love and Truth.





It is the deceiving carnal natured power maddened ambitious thugs and whore mongers that are the danger. Narcissus has no bearing in that regard.





Life is a chess game of guile, trial and triumph following a series of meaningless defeats. Peace and Light will always triumph.





Life begins with peace, understanding and light enlightening darkness until mankind reach the eternal source of light.





Breatharianism: **A buzzing brain, and constantly active mind not only consumes masses of energy but inhibits the production of essential nutrients emitted from a healthy functioning, peaceful mind's brain as self induced nourishment. This supreme condition is exacted only if the individual has managed to still the raging, uncontrolled mind, gained peace and equipoise, broken through that plateau stage whereafter the brain morphs into an entirely chemically advanced life force of energy sustaining within rather than in defence of negative external forces. This is the highest form of transcendentalism and requires an expert practitioner of transcendentalism to accomplish.***

Yes.
You should be concerned that a 'moron' (your word not mine, I would dispute its accuracy in this context) is allowed by the other (non?) 'morons' to take control.





it reflects badly on an organization and on the subordinate members that they are prepared to permit a poorly qualified person take charge - although we are rather good at electing political leaders for their stupidity.





This is a recent phenomenon; reading back through Egypt, Greece and much of world history, leaders that are chosen rather than appointed have proven successful
