I couldn't think of a better place to put this, I think this is the right section for what's on my mind so to speak.
So just a little while ago I went to CNN's website and this was staring me in the face -
http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/08/21/duncan.slayings.ap/index.html
There was this sensational headline under the main story -
Convicted killer on tape: 'The devil is here, boy'
Jurors cringed, cried and some desperately looked away as they were shown a series of deeply disturbing and graphic videos taken by a convicted child killer as he tortured, sexually abused and nearly killed a 9-year-old boy. Federal prosecutors showed the video as part of their efforts to persuade the jury to recommend the death penalty for Joseph Edward Duncan III.
Of course my first reaction was horror at the story itself but then some extremely unsettling implications of the meaning behind these words hit me. At first glance it seems like a crazy and maniacal pervert taunting his victim to instill the maximum amount of fear. But I don't know, there seems to me to be something more going on here. I remembered other things I've read in the news over the years of people claiming "the devil" or a "demon" prompted them to push someone in front of a subway train or whatever. Now, I'm not 100% clear on how reincarnation, organic portals, STO and STS forces work but I have (I believe) a general enough understanding of these things to wonder if these so called crazy people and these children who are murdered and tortured are actually coming under the dominion of forces more powerful than twisted human urges and brain chemistry gone wrong. I mean, we're all taught that some people are crazy, their brain chemistry is wacked and this is why they do such things but I wonder if there is something more going on here. Forgive me if I seem to be rambling, I think in a way I'm just trying to make sense of this and throw some ideas out there. Because to believe that such terrible things happen with no rhyme or reason whatsoever is just something I can't deal with at this moment.
I've never heard of child murder/torture/abuse talked about in esoteric terms. Is anyone familiar with esoterica specifically dealing with this type of tragedy? Is it possible that on a spiritual level there is a predator/prey dynamic at work? Or is it possible that souls can be reincarnated into a trap of sorts? Again, if this is total nonsense please forgive me but if anybody has any info or pertinent thoughts about this I would appreciate it.
