Before we talk about Erik’s view on sociopaths (and I hope the title has not offended any readers who (gulp) are) I’d like to announce that I may have to change my Facebook profile picture soon. You see, all of the stress I’ve had with my parents being ill and my mother’s death, among other things, has caused me to start losing my hair. I’m beginning to to wonder if I need to go for the Sinead O’Connor look. Hm. Nah, it’s not really that bad. But I do try to look at the bright side. Saving money on shampoo, haircuts and covering up those pesky grey roots. Taking the focus off the bags under my eyes and those wrinkles. I could go on and on. Oh okay. I’ll shut up and let Erik take the stage.

Me: What’s behind psychopaths/sociopaths? What’s the spiritual basis for that disease?

Erik: People can not let go of this, right?

Me: Of course not.

Jamie (to Erik): That’s a weird image.

Me: Probably not a pretty one.

Jamie: It’s kind of hard to explain, but do you know those fiberoptic lights?

Me: Oh yeah. Yeah.

Jamie: They usually come in a stand and there’s maybe like fifty of them that come out with all of the lights on at the top.

Erik: That’s how, energetically, we see sociopaths or psychopaths. There’s only one point at the base that grounds all of these different lights together. It’s like having one soul, but it’s torn 98% and only two percent is a solid mass. It’s like you took scissors to it and just shredded it down from the top and left the base together. So, they only have a small percentage that they can collect and ground and get their ideas together while the rest of it is shredded.

Me: Into each of those little fibers?

Erik: Yes.

Me: Okay.

Erik: The lesson of it, of course, is self-understanding. Our culture doesn’t teach us self-understanding. It just teaches us to point at other things and say, “Light. Plant.” Everything’s external to us.

Me: Exactly.

Erik: It doesn’t point at self and say, you know, “Body. Love. Tension.” So, it’s a bad fix. A bad cocktail. Not many sociopaths live to an old age. They can’t handle all of the division. There’s a small percentage that are not truly sociopaths, but they are wide open, spiritually. They’re hearing a multitude of voices and guidance, and they feel they can’t separate themselves from it.

Me: Wow.

Erik: But it is mostly a lesson in internal learning and grounding and mending. We aren’t, as a culture, as a society, giving them the right tools.

Me: Hm.

Erik: In the future, this kind of mental shredding won’t exist.

Me: Good!

Erik: It’s not because we kill off the people who stay that way or don’t want them to have babies so it’s not, you know, like it’s genetically growing out. But it does deal with genetics and we will be able to find the missing answers. It’s going to be weird; most of the mental illnesses are going to be cured.

Me: Why?

Erik: There’s a lot—

Jamie (to Erik): B-busting? Say it differently, Erik.

Erik: There’s a lot of scientific healing coming about dealing with the brain.

Me: Well, what’s the important spiritual aspect? Is there any spiritual reason that we need to eliminate these mental illnesses?

Erik: No, there’s no spiritual reason to eliminate anything.

Me: Well, just because, you know, you don’t want people to suffer from mental illnesses and you don’t want their friends, families and anyone who crosses their path to be negatively effected, too.

Erik: Yes, but at the moment of death, they’re relieved from it, and they get to see their life and the lesson they gave us and how other people treated them and reacted to them. I mean, it seems horrible as an outsider looking in, but you can’t jump into their life and say it’s not worthy; it’s not valuable. Fuck that! So many people do that. It’s so unfair how these people are saying that—

Erik: Look what all of these people have been saying about the gay marriages—that it’s only right for a man and a woman. How can someone be so egotistical to believe that their thinking is the right thinking and that they have to push it?

Jamie (to Erik, laughing): Been reading the paper?

Me: Yeah. Makes no sense. That’s crazy.

Erik: When are we going to start thinking as a whole and not as slices of an apple?

Jamie laughs.

Me: It shouldn’t be anybody’s business but the people involved.

Erik: That’s right, but there’s such a fear about the loss of control, you know, and these people feel like they have to rise up and keep everybody together under one rule and one religion and it’s just fucked up! Let us be who we came here to be!

Me: Hallelujah. Exactly. I couldn’t agree more. 

What’s the difference between a psychopath and a sociopath?

Although the Psychological process of denial of Conscience within the MIND of a sociopath and a psychopath is the same dynamic [Esoteric processes], the particular Fate Karma of the individual determines which behavioral expression one engages in, and it is these behavioral expressions that modern mental health focus on and label as either sociopathic or psychopathic.

Of the more distinguishing traits, some argue the sociopath to be less organized in his or her demeanor, nervous and easily agitated – someone likely living on the fringes of society, without solid or consistent economic support. A sociopath is more likely to spontaneously act out in inappropriate ways without thinking through the consequences.

Conversely, some argue that the psychopath tends to be extremely organized, secretive and manipulative. The outer personality is often charismatic and charming, hiding the real person beneath. Though psychopaths do not feel for others, they can mimic behaviors that make them appear normal. Upon meeting, one would have more of a tendency to trust a psychopath than a sociopath.
cause of the organized personality of the psychopath, he or she might have a tendency to be better educated than the average sociopath, who probably lacks the attentive skills to excel in school. While psychopaths can fly under the radar of society, many maintaining families and steady work, a sociopath more often lacks the skills and drive for mimicking normal behavior, making “seemingly healthy” relationships and a stable home less likely. From a criminal standpoint, a sociopath’s crimes are typically disorganized and spontaneous, while the psychopath’s crimes are well planned out. For this reason, psychopaths are harder to catch than sociopaths, as the sociopath is more apt to leave ample evidence in his or her explosions of violence.

 Simple Answer

A psychopath thinks 2+2=5 rather than 2+2=4. A sociopath knows 2+2=4, but hates to admit it.
