As always, thank you for your work -- and for writing this article. One of the biggest lies we may tell ourselves through a sense of righteousness and elevated ego is thinking, “I would never be like them.” Knowing thyself and the human tendency toward justified violence is a stepping stone to higher consciousness, an attempt to steer economic, social and technological progress in harmony with nature and fellow mankind.
My first real lesson in this was when I had postpartum depression after my second child. When I felt in myself the “look” I saw in some of my friends (that is previously judged), I understood. Somewhere around that time was that big case of the mother who’d driven herself and her children off a bridge. I would often say “the only difference between her and me is that she did it. And I don’t think for a second she went over that barrier and thought “Thank God! It’ll be all over!” No, horrified she realized with full force what the end of her rope had brought her to, “My God, what have I done?!” (Of course, who actually knows, but that’s my guess.)
I think there is external evil that each and every one of us is capable of CHOOSING. I think it’s both.
Then again, at the same time, wouldn’t you say for these megalomaniac, tyrannical types of people, they also don’t think like normal people? So we can say Gates or Soros or whomever would “never do xyz”, but only because we can’t fathom that in ourselves?
If you put red food coloring in a glass of water, the water would turn red, and sitting next to a glass of clean water with no food coloring it would be different. If you could somehow extract the food coloring (I don't think there is a way to do this) it would be clear again. What turns clear water red is an additive. So in that sense we are not all the same. But the water doesn't change, the red water and the clear water are still water. And all water (all humans) have the capability of turning red when red food coloring is added to it.
When talking about "the shadow within us" we all have the same capability to create a very dark shadow, but not all of us HAVE really dark shadows—not all of us have the same trauma (food coloring) added. I am not sure how Jung would describe this, but this is my own understanding of it. The substance, the human psyche, that the food coloring is added to, creates a manifestation of something that can be defined a certain way. i.e., red liquid. Trauma either from postnatal experience (life), or trauma from "past life" experience (which essentially is human access to information outside of individual experience (this is where your evil spirits and entities come in)) "causes" the water (the human) to turn red (act out evil.)
I appreciate your insight and for sharing your story. As a Christian, I believe we, as a people, are fallen beings who need to seek salvation from God, and strive for optimum health & well-being with oneself and our loved ones. I believe there is a spectrum of humanity, and everyone has certain predispositions depending on their innate personality traits. The people you mentioned exhibit, in my opinion, characteristics associated with psychopaths, sociopaths and narcissists, and possess a deep desire and need for control –– at the expense of individual, innocent lives as they are viewed as mere data points in a broader plan or goal. Such people might rationalize and justify their actions dispassionately, and even believe they are “fighting for humanity” and “making the world a better place.”
I agree. And to Mr. Hayden’s comment above about the red food coloring - a good Berkey system filter will get the red food dye out (it’s actually how we test proper filtration is happening). I suppose a believer might say Christ is like that filter. He doesn’t take our humanity away, but He can and does remove the red dye (good choice of example, “the crimson stain”) and washes us clean (or “white as snow”). I find, unlike David, that I can’t pray for the destruction of my enemies (then again, if what David was really talking about were actually Nephilim....), but I pray rather for their soul change, that so much more good could be done through their change of heart and honesty, for His glory. (Then again, what if some of them are “lizard people”, Nephilim themselves? This awakening has been sorely confusing, hard, and wonderful all at once! 😂)
Thank you. And yes, absolutely. It is a tough lesson to learn, and it doesn't mean just because we accept that we are capable of any sort of behaviour that we will act it out. It is just knowing that the twisted mind we may see in others is the same mind basic system we have operating in ourselves. The more we hate the more likely we are trying to disown that shadow lurking in the dungeons of our own unconscious...
What a wonderfully insightful piece ! It will take me a number of reads to absorb this meaningfully , it will surely be one that I maintain in my library !
Maybe the psychological "fine line" between good and evil is the reason God exists. There is choice. Just a thought.
In terms of "nature vs. nurture," I believe there is tremendous overlap. Bruce Lipton's book, "The Biology of Belief" suggests that our beliefs can literally change our very DNA. I definitely believe it's true.
Not sure if this fits here, exactly, but I've personally practised EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to address physiological ailments. It's astounding how quickly pain and stress can be relieved using the technique. Based on this, I tend to believe that nature and nurturing are almost inseparable.
Ideally thinking, I am right there with you regarding nature vs nurture. In reality they are one and the same. Humans, and all material beings, will always choose a dual approach in order to better understand things, therefore it is often presented as two potentially opposing ideas. The same for time and space, a duality concept, and a human (material) construct.
Good and evil are the same. It is a duality structure, and in reality there isn't really a divide, but in our material manifest world, we experience it that way. There clearly is a choice, and God is there to represent the "right" choice for us as material beings. This is our classroom. A place for our spiritual selves to live, learn, and play.
Another thing I would say is that the spiritual, thought, belief, begets the material. Again, a duality, but again, a human way towards understanding. Because, indeed, DNA can also change our belief. Good stuff to ponder.
Good points you make. Yin-yang comes to mind. I like your analogy that 'this' is our classroom.
You used the word "begets." Second time in an hour I've heard that word. The first was in a short video I just watched where a guy talks about courage in speaking out against the ongoing, evil Covid agenda. It was such a spectacularly wonderful piece, I thought I would share it with you. (You may have already seen it on Jessica Rose's substack.) If you want to check it out, here's the link:
Bullshit. Absolutely nothing forces the likes of gates, schawb, soros, any rotschild and the like to do what they are doing. And there is no circumstance in their life that makes them predilect to commit the crimes they are committing. Everyone of those motherfuckers has enough money to get out of the system and live a peaceful and happy life if they wish so. They don't. They are evil to the core. Abnormal. Psychopaths.
If we take Schindler's story to be true, he had a choice as well. An easy one. Play along. Or do what he did. Which was the hard choice. He had the same exact circumstances as plenty of others during those times, to benefit himself by doing evil. He went a different way. There are plenty of people that choose properly and are not committing evil either because they say no or they have the foresight not to put themselves in such positions, where committing evil would benefit them and it would be an easy thing to do.
Hey Joe...what are you specifically saying "bullshit" to? The article? The whole premise? What?
I am actually on the fence with the idea that these people are NOT human, or ARE indeed taken over by an external evil force, or are lizards, or whatever. Which would mean that Jung's idea of shadow is not operating here. But for the moment, I think their shadow evil is coming forth in such a way that it "seems" external. But I could be wrong.
In recent years, even being open to the idea that extra-terrestrials (be they lizards or whatever) are out to do humanity harm has had me wondering whether or not I'm out to lunch. Good to know that other thoughtful people are also open to the idea. Maybe I'm not nuts!
Well, you hit a nail on the head with your comment. I think most of us would share your sentiment. I have a saying I seem to go by, "consider everything, believe nothing"...as I have recently commented, there ARE things I believe. But very little in the material world. It is just all too dicey.
And now that I know there is a hugely wealthy and powerful faction that is spending a lot of its wealth and using its power to convince us of things that simply are not true, ANYTHING gets my consideration. And you know, most of the people I have met that think like we do are some of the most intelligent people I have ever met (thoughtful for sure!!) It is all rather exciting!!
Regarding aliens. The fact that the US Government is now hell bent on the general populace believing in what we have always believed I am beginning to have my doubts about their existence! Which is rather sad. But who knows...
I say bullshit to the premise that under the right circumstances everyone would do evil. Which I believe is the main thesis of your article. Maybe I am wrong though, I am not a native speaker. I completely disagree if this is what the article claims. I think people are built differently and certain people are more predisposed towards doing evil, while others are not, on the contrary.
And this is without going into the hypothesis that these, as you say, entities are not human/are possessed, satan influenced and all that. If that is true, and honestly, lately I am quite predisposed to consider that possibility as being more plausible than random humans doing evil things, your whole premise, and Jung's, starts on the wrong foot.
Your point is very valid. And for dramatics in the opening paragraph of my article I do insinuate that anyone would do ANYTHING under the right circumstances. Notice the title is "No, I Would Never Do That!"...I do not define what "that" is!! :-)
The theory is that people have it "within them" to do evil acts and if they have not integrated that shadowy part of themselves properly they MAY be driven to perform those acts for various reasons. In other words, every human is CAPABLE of doing anything another human has done.
I am not sure myself this theory is true. But I do in my work see it a lot and certainly understand it. I think when you see evil being manifest on this scale, with the Gate's, Fauci's, Schwab's et al, you do have to wonder if there is something "inhuman" about them...if you read some of my articles you will see how I am grappling with this idea.
I think in a general, less dramatic, setting, we all DO have a shadow as Jung suggests, and that we are all capable of doing the same things that humans we criticize and hate do. Assuming first, we are all humans!
All that said, I do agree that "people are built differently and certain people are more predisposed towards doing evil, while others are not"...this different building could be genetic (as I mention in my "The Bad Seed" reference) or could be through trauma in life and how that individual processes it...such as a child that is beaten or molested most of their life...I see a lot of evil in my practice that can typically be traced back to this sort of trauma (most of the time, but not always.)
Your last paragraph is true. Jung's theories only apply to humans, and there he may be right on. And I am also experiencing that same hypothesis that maybe we are dealing with something that isn't human.
I like this vampire correlation...not seeing oneself in the mirror. I wonder if Jung wrote about vampires. The "no reflection" idea is analogous with being unconscious and unable to look within.
Thank you for expanding on this subject, especially after RFKjr’s Peace Speech last brought up the folly of the constant U.S. narratives of “bad man” and “everyone we don’t like is a dictator “ , so we must wage war against all these other countries.
The insistence of the government of the US (and others) that their enemies are evil "bad guys" is a tactic that has been used for centuries. "We must kill the evil ones"
Nice post. Solzhenitsyn commented in the same vein in Gulag Archipelago: “If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart? During the life of any heart this line keeps changing place; sometimes it is squeezed one way by exuberant evil and sometimes it shifts to allow enough space for good to flourish. One and the same human being is, at various ages, under various circumstances, a totally different human being. At times he is close to being a devil, at times to sainthood. But his name doesn’t change, and to that name we ascribe the whole lot, good and evil.”
Glad to see you address the fact that evil comes from inside each of us. No need to look for a supernatural being. We are capable of every evil deed.
For some people, evil thoughts never escape the subconscious-no troubling dreams or daydreams; for most of us, the evil thoughts we allow to surface stay there as a constant reminder of where we never want to go.
I see most of the evil that is perpetrated upon others as a result of nurture, or lack thereof. Children have to be taught to recognize suffering in others. Children and adults who never “see” suffering, whether at their hands or the hands of others, will not adjust their behavior to avoid causing suffering. And once you get to the point of profiting (emotionally, socially, financially) from not noticing the negative impact your behavior is having on others, there will be no reason to begin paying attention.
There is a place inside each person that must be trained to see the results of their behavior, and to adjust their behavior to avoid causing harm. In today’s society, who trains the children?
The event that lasted since 2020 until 2023 taught us a lesson. The evil landed here into our realm. It showed us where it came from and how it operates.
Today, we (those who dare to question) know that evil is within us and the most of people don't see it.
Only being aware of the evil we can keep it at bay. Unfortunately, most of humanity won't see it as the pride (not the alphabet people's pride, that's a different story) makes them to rationalise and accept the evil.
Everyone has a tipping point under the right "or wrong" circumstances.
I remember my parents going to see that movie, "The Bad Seed" and they had my grandmother come and babysit us. It was then considered something no child should see. Now days it would be, "oh hum" compared to what children can have access to.
Get a little sex, alcohol or peer pressure involved makes a lot of the mess across the world. I told a DEA friend that hidden in many people's past was something that under the right circumstances would have sent them to prison. He said not him.
I asked him if he had ever driven intoxicated and he said yes and realized I was right.
They train soldiers to kill someone they never met and I have friends that said they would do the same to certain people in the world limelight. That is why those people are surrounded by bodyguards.
Good one Todd. One of my fave books is The Secret of the Shadow. What we don't own owns us! It is always the Shadow that gets me into trouble. But there are far too many who are so unconscious and not doing their psychological and spiritual work while here on earth. Young souls I'd imagine. But the evil could not happen globally without the unconscious masses. Lack of stillness and lack of introspection, going inside, has created the perfect soil for the planting of these seeds. Love ya Todd for always waking up the morning juices!!!
I remember reading Shadow Dance by David Richo and being shocked at the realization that I wasn't the well rounded, great person I thought I was. However, I was willing to accept this new information and hold it in my conscious awareness. I did not, as the Bible warns, 'look in the mirror and walk away, immediately forgetting what I looked like." We are all flawed, but the ones who acknowledge this are more psychologically healthy than those who never look within the deep recesses of their mind and soul.
"But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being." - Solzhenitsyn
Nothing like a good cartoon to depict the real degenerate uman animal that we are!

This is very well put. The last sentence here is the kicker. These "evil" people actually do often, if not always, think they are doing "good".

Evil is relative to the state of society.

They do operate with shadows, but are unable to realize it.
Psychopaths and sociopaths cannot see themselves in the mirror, just like the vampire legend.
The book unholy hungers by Barbara hort is amazing to see into the masculine and feminine vampire dynamic.
I like this vampire correlation...not seeing oneself in the mirror. I wonder if Jung wrote about vampires. The "no reflection" idea is analogous with being unconscious and unable to look within.
There but for the grace of God go I.
We all need radical humility.
That pretty much sums it up. God certainly wishes us to be conscious.
Thank you for the story today, Dr Hayen. We need to be reminded that we should go back to the basics we learned as children and forgot.
Thank YOU for being here!!

Good one Todd. One of my fave books is The Secret of the Shadow. What we don't own owns us! It is always the Shadow that gets me into trouble. But there are far too many who are so unconscious and not doing their psychological and spiritual work while here on earth. Young souls I'd imagine. But the evil could not happen globally without the unconscious masses. Lack of stillness and lack of introspection, going inside, has created the perfect soil for the planting of these seeds. Love ya Todd for always waking up the morning juices!!!
I remember reading Shadow Dance by David Richo and being shocked at the realization that I wasn't the well rounded, great person I thought I was.

I did not, as the Bible warns, 'look in the mirror and walk away, immediately forgetting what I looked like." We are all flawed, but the ones who acknowledge this are more psychologically healthy than those who never look within the deep recesses of their mind and soul.
"But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being." - Solzhenitsyn
Oooh and Aaah! another David Ricoh consumer! And, of course, Solzenitsyn, etc. This forum is terrific. Best regards!
