"Can't take the effect, and make it the cause...."

...a brilliant quote from the excellent song by the White Stripes:

I was triggered to write this in response to a good friend posting her valuable information on psychopathy, because as much as I agree with just about everything she says, there’s one conclusion I not only find very dangerous, it is the exact sort of thing I go after on all other levels, most recently the “breakaway civilization” idea I been bugging anders to expand on (thank you sir!).
Anyways on a private thread at TOT, where perspectives are being shared about what some see as the “sociopathic” behavior patterns of BR and SP, my friend mentions what I think a lot of people in the community don’t even always realize they’re promoting the idea of psychopathy being a “necessary evil”, something placed in our reality as it is required for us for our soul growth.
I see the idea in the “prime directive” type ideas that justify “authority” or more highly evolved conciousnesses protecting us “children” from knowledge we’re not responsible enough to handle…and that’s just the two examples from today…I feel it underlies most important discussions…so here’s what I banged out that I was originally going to add to (private) thread at a different place on a different topic:
I lived a sheltered life, with loving parents, huge amount and variety of support, no handicaps, never a want for anything I needed—but not so spoiled rotten that I couldn’t appreciate what I had/have, and the worst events in my life would hardly qualify as a “trauma” compared to the shit most of you have been through.
I see no utility in choosing a life with psychopaths present, if we really needed a built-in teacher for soul growth, the impermance of these meat bags, the inevitability of the loss of the meatbag that allows for this experience, this us…is plenty, I would think…I sure don’t need to be ass-raped by a pedophile or made a slave to some sick ego…and would be perfectly fine going through eternity missing out on those experiences.
And I feel my perspective is a more valuable and empowering one, than the soul group choosing a role and playing some game. If I’m wrong, living under the belief alleviates some of the suffering, the sould still learns and grows. Your way, which I entertain and recognize is just as valid, enables a belief in the need for an existence of elements in our reality that cause suffering…that leads to self destruction.
If I was psychopath, understanding a reality where “do as thou wilt” at the expense of everyone, that existence is here is for me…I would implant the idea that my victims need me, that my presence serves them. In fact, having those that don’t directly fear them enable my existence may even serve in what I could only guess would be a psychopath’s drive: to experience everything, to live forever.
Which seems to me to show that death of the physical body is a much more universal “soul teacher” than torture and suffering and enslavement. I feel we can learn grow without any of that shit, that the knowledge of death should be enough to drive us to live life to the fullest.
Antogoism, adversity, obstacles….I think all of these become part of reality if we need them. I think beings that create them on purpose, in ways that effect others and are ultimately destructive to themselves and all around them…while it is definitely awesome to come out learning from them, that EFFECT is self-defeating to believe is a CAUSE.
