Journal entry: Today, July 4, 2018, I awake this morning and turn to the declaration of Independence for solace. This eloquent statement from 1776, is relevant to our lives on many levels. I ask you to consider both its historical and psychological implications. For we who have known the brutality of the monster, it reminds us of our duty to sever ourselves from the oppressive governance of the monster, the psychopath, and to institute a new self-governance that provides for safety, liberty and happiness.
Triangulation is perhaps the most challenging captivity to break free of. It is a far-reaching poison. It has isolated us from those we’ve loved. It has caused us, at times, to walk among hostile neighbors. It has led us to confront fictitious versions of ourselves that the psychopath has implanted in other’s minds. We, knowing the irreversibility of this psychological tampering by the monster, learn to fix our compass on destinations anew where we experience the kindness of genuine human interaction and affection. We learn to maintain our dignity within highly adversarial environments. We realize that freeing ourselves from the constraints of the monster is a calling that serves not just us, but also a wider humanity.
“When in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation.
We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness..(stunning words of encouragement from the Declaration of Independence).”
I refer to Dr Mario in this episode, who is the main (but not sole) antagonist of these narratives. I refer to the implicit captivities of silence and place, as well as those of triangulation and bodily harm mandated by the monster, (the psychopath, the narcissist, the sociopath), which I've addressed in prior episodes. Again, you may not have used the term "captivity" to describe the psychological lair the monster has "charmed" you into visiting, but each of us daily, meet affable-appearing monsters who seek to invite us into a psychological confinements for their own manipulative purposes. read more on www.monsterstoriespodcast.com
