Psychopathic Feeding?

[ScarletBegonias]

In early July I made a request for an animal totem to guide me and the snake has been with me since then. Now that I'm studying psychopathy, the literature and music about these people keeps referring to them as snakes. Since the snake is my most sacred of animal totems now, I am somewhat confused and disheartened that it would be associated with psychopathy.

Snakes don't even close their eyes and they only strike when they are threatened or hungry. They eat their prey whole and are able to shed old skin. In many cultures, they are also a symbol for healing. So then, I propose that psychopaths would more accurately fit the label of being ticks instead of snakes.

Biological Characteristics of Ticks

Ticks are related to mites and spiders. They have four stages of development — the egg, larval, nymph, and adult stages. After hatching from the egg, the tick must take a blood meal to complete each stage in its life cycle. Each stage of the tick usually takes a blood meal from a different host. For most ticks, each blood meal is taken from a different type of host.

Ticks are usually active in the spring, summer, and fall; however, the adults of some species are active in the winter. When seeking a blood meal, ticks move from leaf litter, from a crack or crevice along a building foundation, or from another secluded place to grass or shrubs where they attach themselves to an animal as it passes. If a host is not found by fall, most species of ticks move into sheltered sites where they become inactive until spring. Once it is on a host, a tick crawls upward in search of a place on the skin where it can attach to take a blood meal. The tick’s mouth parts are barbed, making it difficult to remove the tick from the skin. In addition, the tick manufactures a glue to hold the mouthparts in place. The female mates while attached to a host and usually feeds for 8 to 12 days until it is full. By the time it finishes feeding, the female may increase in weight by 100 times. A male tick may attach, but it does not feed as long as the female. The male tick may mate several times before dying. The female, after mating and feeding, drops to the ground where it lays a mass of eggs in a secluded place such as in a crevice or under leaf litter. Shortly after laying an egg mass, which may contain thousands of eggs, the female dies. The eggs hatch in about two weeks, and the life cycle begins again. Depending upon the species of tick, the life cycle may take as little as a few months or as much as two years.

Ticks are sneaky. They latch onto you and use multiple tactics to ensure that you cannot remove them. They only stick around so they can use you for their benefit and they have the "need to feed" on multiple hosts. They are also very small and therefore hard to notice.

Re: Why do we call them snakes when they are more like ticks?

I suppose their are many reasons. Snakes have been used to represent deceit. The story from the Bible of the serpent deceiving Eve. The forked tongue. The poison from a snakebite is deadly, and often people are bitten without warning. Maybe these are just the simplest metaphors for describing a psychopath. ;)

Yeah, I'm thinking it's leftover biblical too, and Scarlett's right, calling a Psychopath a "snake" really is insulting to the snake.

I agree. Ticks are more appropriate. Heck, I even invented a word for them once: "Psychophages" - or "soul eaters."

Lice (horrible too - I have to be really careful and check my daughter's head a lot lately, because there has been a huge epidemic at Bavarian schools this summer) and ticks are on the rise BIG TIME, revolting creatures, but as you, know ticks can also cause pretty serious diseases, such as Lyme disease.

Re: Why do we call them snakes when they are more like ticks?

I dream of one of my psychopathic relatives as a snake. She's a snake and the rest of the humans in the dream are looking like humans. I have had dreams like that more than once.

Anyway. Maybe they're tapeworms. Parasites, a little bit looking like a snake.

Re: Why do we call them snakes when they are more like ticks?

Agreed. They are more like mosquitoes and ticks than much else. And snakes actually serve a purpose, they eat vermin that also spread disease. I have yet to find a life affirming purpose for skeeters and ticks, other than skeeters feed bats. ;) (And certain chicken species eat ticks.)

Psychopaths, the ultimate 4D STS feeders.

I had relations with a man over a year ago who I believe fits the criteria for being a psychopath. He came to my house once with his crystal that got really hot on its own (strange!) and he performed some ritualistic ceremony to "cleanse" my house of evil spirits. I remember thinking he was feeding the lizzies then and I also had some odd urge to take the crystal away from him, but I didn't take it.

I had just discovered Laura's work at the time and although it would've blended well with other conversations we were having about the supernatural, for some unknown reason I felt like it was important NOT to share her work with him. So I let him do his thing with some sage and his crystal and that night I saw the most hugest and horrendous-looking creature I had seen in my bedroom while experiencing an episode of sleep paralysis. It was then that I began to understand why I wanted to take the crystal from him and why I didn't want to share Laura's work with him.

So, it is my theory that psychopaths are the ultimate energetic feeders. Since they do not feel the emotions that normal people do and they enjoy inflicting harm onto others, they are able to drain the most amounts of people. I also think that if they have the same regards for higher densities that they do for the creatures on this planet that 4D STS would be inspired to control and exploit them for feeding purposes. Just imagine how many people have been drained as a result of psychopaths just doing their thing!

Re: Psychopaths, the ultimate 4D STS feeders.

So I've got a point, you think? I wonder to what extent certain psychopaths coerce 4D STS into working with them for purposes of control and exploitation for the psychopaths and food for 4D STS.

Psychopaths, to my understanding, cannot 'coerce' 4D STS. That would be like a squirrel coercing you to gather its nuts. It is also my understanding that psychopaths are, in a very real way, the representatives of 4D STS on planet earth. Since 4D STS cannot manifest here for any length of time due to not 'fitting' in this dimension, they need proxies, as it were - and psychopaths serve that purpose as the intraspecies predator of humanity (though psychopaths are not quite conspecific). As Laura often says, who needs aliens when you have psychopaths.

So, instead of thinking of them as capable of coercing 4D STS, think of them as being the tools of 4D STS and you'll likely be closer to the mark.

Carlos Castenada relates in his books about how powerful sorcerers can acquire allies that may assist them in magical ways. He mentioned that one of the control methods was to meter out small bits of fear, which allies cling to, as if it were food (!), as a way to control them. How those particular allies described fit into a density cosmology isn't entirely clear, but that allies can be manipulated in such a way makes them sound like 3D or less, since, like Anart described, 4D beings are effectively incapable of being manipulated by 3D beings.

In the situation described, if there was a type of relationship between the psychopath and the (presumably 4D STS) being causing all these supernatural effects, the being was probably just playing along as a means to an end. So it exploits the psychopath's wishful thinking by giving affirming unnatural events, either real or imagined via suggestion, in order to draw belief and reverence from him, allowing it to feed on his delusions further, as well as the energy from those the psychopath incidentally victimizes during his descent into wishful thinking.

It's an interesting observation you had about feeling the need to take the crystal away from him. It seems like a free will violation to do so, but I'm not so sure. What if that was intuition from the higher self asking you to thwart the attempted ritual/manipulation?

The psychopaths I had to deal with directly didn't need affirming events, especially not "real" ones. Their personal vision was reality and it didn't need any help; it wouldn't have been welcome. I personally think that 4th density STS provides "inspiration" to guide the portals, psychopathic or otherwise. I have no idea how it would work, but a lot of people seem to run off of "inspiration" much more than objective experience.

I very much agree, from experience. There is also a bigger picture than "just" psychopaths, and I think I am starting to see it more clearly now. There seem to be other pathological types, and also "normal" types that are kind of running on autopilot. Not just asleep, but apparently not really equipped to operate on their own, relying very heavily on what they see other people doing. Having grown up in a conservative religious setting this was what people were like for me growing up. My mother was a "just tell me what I should do" religious type, and my father was a relatively unsuccessful Air Force officer.

So there are potentially a great many people that 4D STS can readily "steer," although the psychopaths are by far the most dangerous among them.

Psychopaths, to my understanding, cannot 'coerce' 4D STS. That would be like a squirrel coercing you to gather its nuts.

If we are going by the idea of 'as above, so below' I think it would be possible for psychopaths to manipulate 4D STS. I think that higher animals such as cats and dogs definitely are able to manipulate humans for their own benefit. For example if a dog wants some attention he may start acting up or being loud. If they want food they may beg to you or give you puppy dog eyes.

My cat specifically knows certain things that will make me upset such as jumping on my keyboard or jumping on me while I am sleeping and uses them sometimes when he wants food. Or he may walk deliberately in my path where I am walking in order to get my attention. My mother feels guilty whenever an animal comes up to her and begs and she says that she cannot say no to them. She lets many cats sleep with her in the bed and they keep her up all night, etc.

So of course we cannot really know if it is possible to manipulate 4D STS but I think it may be possible for higher level 3D STS. STS always has its blind spots and weaknesses which can be exploited.

I think that many pets exhibit those behaviors not to anger or induce guilt, but because they have learned that those behaviors get them what they seek (love/attention). When they learn differently, they do differently (speaking more of dogs here than cats). I find also that many times, people's pets are just reflecting back behaviors that their owners have within themselves. A narcissistic dynamic of it's own.

For example, a member of my family is anxious and needy. The behavior of her pets reflect this dynamic. She encourages it probably because it's been handed down to her and the only way she knows to 'get' her pets to make her feel loved. So perhaps it's really 3D that's manipulating 2D?
