Is There a Supernatural Connection with Malignant Narcissists?
A question I have asked myself: does malignant narcissism have a possible supernatural explanation, such as a dark entity taking up residence inside a person’s energy field?
Malignant narcissists are shut off or obscured by an elaborate system of false personalities or masks, making them vulnerable to an outside entity taking up residence within them.
I don’t dispute the possibility that there may be evil spirits or even an entity called Satan. No one has proven these entities exist, but no one has disproven them. At least one respected psychiatrist in the field of Narcissistic Personality Disorder and psychopathy, Dr. M. Scott Peck, believes that individuals without empathy or a conscience take pleasure in hurting others.
Today we call them malignant narcissists or psychopaths, and they are evil.
There are evil people in the world, but is their evil due to Satan or other malignant entities overtaking their minds at some point, or is their “evil” simply a manifestation of a poorly wired brain. A brain dominated by the reptilian, lower brain instead of the mammalian human brain that has the capacity for love and empathy?
A snake doesn’t care about its fellow snakes or even its offspring. It feels no love. It attacks with no remorse and has no feelings of guilt if its prey dies from its bite. Instead, it abandons its young after being born to fend for itself.
This behavior is normal for a snake, but a snake isn’t evil because it’s just a reptile, a less evolved creature than we are. If a human acts like a snake, that person is evil because we’re supposed to have a brain that can feel empathy and love.
Malignant Narcissists
Malignant narcissism and psychopathy are likely caused by severe abuse combined with a genetic predisposition. As a result, the person is nearly always unaware of their original, authentic self, which has been obscured so profoundly by their elaborate layers of masks that it may as well not even exist.
It’s challenging, if not impossible, to access the true self in a malignant narcissist. But unfortunately, it exists, but the false self is a lie, and lies are inherently evil.
The genesis of psychopathy.
Why are some people evil? And what made them that way? No one knows. I don’t think there are any “bad seeds” in real life, and those we know of are usually fictional characters. On the other hand, some people probably possess a gene for the malignant form of narcissism or psychopathy. Even so, with loving parenting that teaches right from wrong at an early age, most children can still learn to be good people, and those lessons will override the genetic predisposition.
Perhaps they’ll still be narcissists but of the benign variety instead of malignant narcissism.
Severely abusing or neglecting a child who already possesses the gene will likely cause that child to become a psychopath or malignant narcissist. Unfortunately, at this point, there is no known cure once the disorder has become ingrained in the personality. For any treatment to work, it must begin in early childhood, when the personality is still forming.
Possession
Demons do not possess people with these disorders, but if demons or malignant entities exist, they may be highly influenced by them or walk on the side of darkness. In addition, they may have entities attached to them who came into their energy fields when they were vulnerable.
Being open to darkness, malignant narcissists and psychopaths are vulnerable to malignant entities taking up residence inside them. For someone who is already a psychopath, the possession would be total.
Non-evil people could be possessed, too, usually by dabbling in the occult or the like, but for them, the possession is “imperfect,” according to M. Scott Peck. Because the entity isn’t aligned perfectly with the person’s soul, there is still good in the person, and when an exorcism is performed, the good can overcome the evil entity with God’s help.
A good person becomes evil
Some people are genetically predisposed to psychopathy and aren’t necessarily evil, but there comes a turning point during which they choose darkness over light.
This is where they make to make a “deal with the devil” and where they can cross the line over into evil, and once they do so, there is no turning back.
In “People of the Lie,” Peck talks about a man who was in all respects a good man, a family man who loved his wife and children. But the man had a terrible problem: he suffered from severe panic attacks when crossing a particular bridge on his way home from work every day. The panic attacks were so debilitating that the man who didn’t believe in the devil made a deal with the devil anyway.
He told the devil that if he could get over the bridge without a panic attack, he would allow the devil to allow something to happen to his beloved son.
Nothing happened to the man’s son, but he felt guilty about making such a deal, even though he still didn’t believe the devil existed, so he confessed his sin to Dr. Peck. He did the right thing; if he hadn’t felt remorse over making such a deal, he would have crossed the line into evil even though he didn’t believe in the devil.
The same thing happens during the war when soldiers are forced to kill innocent people and commit other acts of atrocity against their morals. Those not predisposed to psychopathy and forced to undertake such evil actions suffer from PTSD and can even experience a psychotic break.
However, there are veterans who, already predisposed to psychopathy, became evil after committing such acts during wartime. They return from war, seeming to have lost any empathy or ability to love they once had. Here too, a line was crossed, even if it was not their choice. Once that line is crossed, the person can never return to goodness because they have, in effect, “sold their soul” and possibly been possessed by malignant outside entities, ensuring they keep walking on the side of darkness.
Their eyes
There is something odd in the eyes of a malignant narcissist. I saw horror when my ex-partner flew into one of his rages. When I looked into his face, I noticed with horror that his eyes were solid black like the eyes of aliens or demons, and his sneer was full of pure hatred.
In conclusion, there is no proof that this is valid (unless you count the opaque black eyes I’ve seen in my ex). But because a supernatural component hasn’t been disproven either, there’s a possibility that much more is involved in psychopathic behavior and malignant narcissism than mere mental illness or brain dysfunction. Some of this even makes sense on a gut instinct level.
I hope you find this helpful and leave me a comment or question.
