Just looking at a few parts to this thread.
Then the question is: what is one of the primary goals of the living system? Looking at these animals it seems to be "adapt to survive". So if we assume that humans are part of the living system, perhaps the same applies to us. But then question is, how do we do that? Has nature endowed us with an evolutionary mechanism that would allow us to adapt to survive against our predators? Or at the human level is it all about free will?
Think the latter (free will) cannot be lessened in importance. Perhaps whether we survive in the physical is not as important as is surviving being free of yoked consciousness. Free will ignites awareness thus helping to create beneficial frequency; a type of force against the opposite entropic forces operating against living systems. The problem with the quote below is the “veil”, yet some measures of this seem to be intuitive and have been available in human beings since long ago. The entropic system tries its best to dumb it down and remove free will and mould thought to its own ends. It is hard to think about surviving outside of 3d concept, in realms and densities foreign to understanding; veiled. The intelligence that seems to permeate in the universe is there to see and as such our concept of survival seems to include other things beyond our awareness, osit.
A: First awareness of the choice comes. Then making the choice. Then enhancing the energy to graduate. The problem of 3rd density is identifying what to choose, since so much is veiled from you.
In nature, there seems to be many mechanisms of survival and some come in the form of being what appears at first to be total destruction. A forest is infested with insects (pine beetle as example) that brood, thrive and swarm, eating and killing the forest like mowed down grass. The trees die, some fall to the ground as fuel and fire ignites and cleans out what is left of the broods and fiber, providing new nutrients, and also gives a spark to the seeds that lay dormant upon soils creating new healthy life once again. Some species may borrow underground for years and surface again with the rains. Many examples of life's living systems include mechanisms of these types and intelligence seems to be weaved throughout these systems - note Perceval’s photos.
Of survival, The C’s offered this quote about living systems which might be apt:
A: When the universe is ready to revive dead coral, you can bet it will revive.
[quote author=Guardian]
I often wonder if psychopathy isn't an evolutionary step for humanity? At what point do emotions hinder survival in an over populated environment? When do compassion and empathy become a liability?
[/quote]
Yes interesting question as it sure seems to have grown incrementally consistent with population expansion. Yet from what is discussed here, there seems to be spikes in certain political and socio economic circles. Maybe like nature (here in analogy), when growth mediums are depleted (societal nutrients) and populations or species densities reach certain thresholds, they become subjected to blights. Of species affected by blights, if they are not done in outright, they come out in a weekend state. The second part, about emotions hindering, lack of compassion and empathy being a liability, seems like these qualities are often tinkered with by our very social programming (west generally) with our egocentrism that seems so fully accepted with much that we see in entertainment and “getting ahead” of the next guy programs; maybe. The reason for thinking this stems from what we see in the world, and as the C’s discussed about geographical areas (countries) having less and more than the world average of psychopathology in a given population. Without looking at the figures given, it seemed that many countries with low percentages < 4% (seems still dangerously high) contained large human populations. These tended to be places that don’t yet subscribe to the west overall thinking/programming as described above re social, and i’ll add, capitalistic programs. What were the numbers for developed west countries, 6 – 40%? If so, this is pretty shocking and suggests that being tinkered with by societal programming may have a role to play – can’t figure this out vis via genetics. Maybe this goes back to the C’s talking about FVR being so important a profile to assist in 4d sts suitability. If this is so, would not the programming we see being used work to those end in the west – harden up the profile, dampen out those finer human qualities – erase them or make people forget or feel guilty if they exist? Societies like this seems to ascribe a type of inferior-being connotation to people who exhibit emotions, compassion and empathy - they want strength; under there terms of course. In a way Guardian, think you are correct in that perhaps having those traits amongst a high percentage of a population with psychopathic profiles is a liability that they count on. Is it evolutionary? If seems based on discussions here, that it has its foundation in genetics. Is it from being of this “parasitically” infect bloodline? The reckless procreation activities has been discussed here of people of this type who try to pass on their genetics. Why the concentrations? Then there was the references to karmic rebirth considerations (FVR?) said early in the transcripts that could account for higher percentages like what was in the mythos of Atlantis once, shifting to pre war Germany, then to Israel etcetera. Can a given society create more? Think this is where the struggle is and it may be more related toxins, food et al and to types as Andrew Lobaczewski (AML) describes, inclusive of authoritarian followers; they may not have the genetics yet can easily be swayed to act out in characteropathies:
Note: AML uses 5 – 7 % of elementary school children exhibiting these damages that they develop in later life.
AML said:
In a much larger segment of the bearers of brain tissue damage, the negative deformation of their characters grows in the course of time. It takes on variegated mental pictures, depending upon the properties and localization of these changes, their time of origin, and also the life conditions of the individual after their occurrence. We will call such character disorders - characteropathies. Some characteropathies play an outstanding role as pathological agents in the processes of the genesis of evil. Let us thus characterize these most active ones.
Characteropathies reveal a certain similar quality, if the clinical picture is not dimmed by the coexistence of other mental anomalies (usually inherited), which sometimes occur in practice. Undamaged brain tissue retains our species' natural psychological properties. This is particularly evident in instinctive and affective responses, which are natural, albeit often insufficiently controlled.
The experience of people with such anomalies grows in the medium of the normal human world to which they belong by nature. Thus their different way of thinking, their emotional violence, and their egotism find relatively easy entry into other people's minds and are perceived within the categories of the everyday world Such behavior on the part of persons with such character disorders traumatizes the minds and feelings of normal people, gradually diminishing the ability of the normal person to use their common sense. In spite of their resistance, victims of the characteropath become used to the rigid habits of pathological thinking and experiencing. If the victims are young people, the result is that the personality suffers abnormal development leading to its malformation.
Characteropaths and their victims thus represent pathological, ponerogenic factors which, by their covert activity, easily engender new phases in the eternal genesis of evil, opening the door to a later activation of other factors which thereupon take over the main role.
