Ego and False Self

 The ego is who you "think" you are. Your "false self". Your "self-image." Your "True Self" is who you ARE. And who you ARE, you ARE ALREADY. AND HAVE BEEN ALL ALONG! Namely, one in union with God. Operating out of the ego is necessary for early stage development. But staying there in the main into adulthood is essentially "not growing up". It's stunted. People have "successful" lives at that level. But it is a level without wisdom, without authentic loving relationships. Because everything is about the self-serving trinity of "me, myself, and I." At the most self-serving level, it is called narcissism. And even Presidents get stuck there. And it is toxic when they do. So frankly, it is delusional to claim the ego is merely an illusion. For when it is most fully active, it is dangerous to be in denial about it. The denied ego is dangerous because left denied, it becomes evil.

NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER - by Dr. Maria Hsia Chang

This is one of the BEST articles on NPD that I have used most extensively over the years. NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER http://www.unr.edu/cla/polisci/famaria_hsia_chang.htm By Dr. Maria Hsia Chang, Professor, Political Science, University of Nevada , Reno mariac@unr.nevada.edu In psychology, personality disorders refer to individual traits that reflect ingrained, inflexible, and maladaptive patterns of behavior that cause discomfort and impair a person’s ability to function--including her relations with friends and family. At least ten distinct personality disorders have been identified, one of which is the narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) that the American Psychological Association (APA) classifies as a “cluster B” disorder. NPD is a highly complex psychological - behavioral syndrome that confounds and baffles those close to the afflicted. Once understood, however, one achieves clarity of vision. Socio-biologists maintain that narcissism is natural f...

Psalm 35 - A Prayer of Vengeance and Redemption for my Past Employer - Which I know has already been answered by the Lord - Amen!!!!!!

  Psalm 35 Of David. 1  Contend,  Lord , with those who contend with me;      fight against those who fight against me. 2  Take up shield and armor;      arise and come to my aid. 3  Brandish spear and javelin [ a ]      against those who pursue me. Say to me,      “I am your salvation.” 4  May those who seek my life      be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plot my ruin      be turned back in dismay. 5  May they be like chaff before the wind,      with the angel of the  Lord  driving them away; 6  may their path be dark and slippery,      with the angel of the  Lord  pursuing them. 7  Since they hid their net for me without cause      and without cause dug a pit for me, 8  may ruin overta...

Lasting effects as a Child of a Narcissistic Parent

   We never put importance on how important relationships around us impact our personality and our temperament. Weirdly, the relationships we see and experience growing up influence who we will become in our future. No relationship is perfect, including our relationship with our parents. While they may have the best intentions at heart and may want the best for us, they are also bound to make mistakes. However, a parent’s impulse is to always improve and give their child what they need. Away from all of this, some parents promise to care for their children but may end up mistreating them – intentionally or unintentionally. This parenting style can be toxic and can cause immense trauma and abuse. In such a parent-child relationship, parents often lack compassion and are concerned more about their needs than their child’s. Although, there’s not much difference between toxic parenting and narcissistic parenting. Just like in toxic parenting a child can be mistreated, in narcissis...
