Do you know what a psychopath is? Ever met one? Worse still, have you ever been a psychopath’s victim? Actually, I hate to say it, but the answer to the last two questions may well be ‘yes,’ although you probably wouldn’t realize it.

The research scientists tell us that one person out of a hundred is afflicted with the condition, and it breaks down evenly between men and women.

What image springs into your mind when you think of the word ‘psychopath?’ A figure in a cloak, laughing maniacally as he bears down on you with a huge, blood-soaked knife?

That man you and your spouse met last night at the party. Your spouse mentioned what dead, humourless eyes he had. Well, even deadeye Dick doesn’t fit the bill, I’m afraid, and certainly not the knife wielder.

Naturally enough, they’re Hollywood’s favourite bad chaps and chapesses! The problem with Hollywood, well one of them, anyway, is that they regularly confuse the psychopath with the psychotic.

Probably the most famous, or infamous, mad bad man of all time was Norman Bates in ‘Psycho.’ I wouldn’t mind betting that if you asked a dozen people on the street what he was, everyone would say he was a raving psychopath. Wrong! In fact, he was your garden variety delusional psychotic.

This splendidly dramatic business of ‘hearing voices’ telling him or her to kill someone, or seeing skeletal visions of the long dead telling you to do the same thing, makes for great storytelling, but the chances are that they’re symptoms of a psychotic illness like schizophrenia.

This latter condition, by the way, is another Hollywood blunder that makes for a good storyline. They will insist that because the baddy has a split personality, he’s schizophrenic. It has nothing whatever to do with schizophrenia.

A more accurate depiction of a psychopath would be ‘The Jackal’ in the film ‘Day of the Jackal.’ I believe another excellent example would be Tom Ripley in ‘The Talented Mr. Ripley.’

In real life, while many criminals are psychopaths, most psychopaths aren’t criminals, but they are amoral. The vast majority aren’t murderers, but they’re not the type to seek out as your best friend. They’re bad, but not mad.

So, do you know what a psychopath is? Have you been nursing one to your bosom? To begin with, they’re usually extremely bright, far too bright to end up in prison. They’re not easy to spot, either. You’d have to know one really well and have considerable insight yourself before recognizing the fact that Fred, that charming chap you’ve known for three years, is a psychopath.

They can be charming and delightful company, but they only do what they choose to do. It’s their way or the highway!

Thought I might write something to frighten the life out of you! Mike Bond again, this time on the subject of psychopaths. Seriously, though, it’s a very interesting psychological study and you’ll find lots more of interest if you look in on my site. Really. It’s well worth the trouble.

The actual meanings of dreams are unquestionably exclusive and unique, simply because of the individuals who dream them. No single interpretation, regardless how universal, is likely to cover each and every dream, dream symbol or dream scenario. Any time you’re scrutinizing or interpreting your dream, it will always be crucial that you observe the details associated with the dreams, your emotions inside the dream world, as well as, everything that is currently happening in your life.

Should you choose to translate your own dreams, either strictly for entertainment or to practice personal and spiritual advancement, there are a few guidelines that will assist you in making the most from your dream realm.

1. When you wake up, quickly replay your dream experience in your mind. You must complete this straightaway, ideally even before you open up your eyes. The dream world falls apart rapidly, and approximately 50% of it usually disappears within a minuscule five minutes. As soon as ten minutes has elapsed, greater than 90% of the dream’s subject matter can be lost. Replaying the dream in your mind will allow you to recall an increased amount of the exciting specifics.

2. Promptly jot down an account of the dream, concentrating on crucial items, symbols and / or emotions. Write several words and phrases regarding every different key factor within the dream, before they are forgotten, and then come back later on and fill in your gaps. Just as before, you will need to write the dream down as fast as possible. Keeping a journal by the bed ıs going to be a great benefit.

3. Pick a peaceful spot in your house to start the interpretation process. Removing yourself from sources of distraction will be essential. The area you select needs to be as silent and tranquil as attainable. In the event that no such space exists, examine your notes one final time, complete each and every detail you are able to remember, and revisit them later on.

4. Apply your own intuition when you review your dream notes in an attempt to better understand your dream. It’s possible you’ll already understand on an instinctual level precisely what your dreams are attempting to tell you. Connecting with your intuition can assist you in getting in touch with your unconscious mind. Should you wish to meditate, a brief relaxation period can be a great benefit. Connecting with your inner self is consistently helpful in regards to interpreting and analyzing dreams.

5. When you evaluate your dream journal, pay particular attention to the feelings they awaken in you. Paying close attention to your mental status, both presently and throughout the dream, can guide you to determine what your dream truly meant.

6. Try to remember any dramatic aspects, scenarios, places, feelings or signs that help to make your dream noteworthy. Open your heart along with your mind and cautiously investigate the likely significance of each symbolic representation, situation and episode. It’s often useful to write down your thoughts inside your dream journal or notebook. While you look for meaning, do not restrict yourself to apparent interpretations. For example, dreaming of a forgotten scheduled appointment may merely suggest you might be concerned about being late for your job, however that missed appointment may also signify a sense of a missed opportunity within your life.

7. Creating an internal dialog with the individuals or even items you dreamed about is frequently effective too. This kind of inner dialog is particularly beneficial whenever you are attempting to figure out the reason why you dreamed about a particular person. Consider asking them in your mind “why am I thinking about you?”, “what have you been doing inside my dream?”. Additionally, it is valuable to understand that individuals in our dreams tend to be representations of elements of our own personality rather than literal people.

8. When you are having difficulty with an interpretation, it may be beneficial to put down your dream notebook and revisit it at a later date. It might additionally be useful to explore the dream with other people, or even seek advice from an authority on dream interpretation.

It will take time and patience when starting out but if you stick with it, you might uncover some interesting things about yourself. It’s these surprise ‘Easter eggs’ that show up in your life that can make it fun and interesting.

Analyzing dreams and dream interpretation is a highly sought after art, and science is continuing to focus on dream interpretation as a way to deal with all kinds of anxieties and other underlying psychological issues.

We had a look at our psychopathic friend, Fred, in the last article. When we left him, he didn’t seem too bad, did he? Yes, it was ‘his way or the highway,’ but we can all be selfish on occasion. Actually, the storm clouds of his personality gathered earlier than that when we found that psychopaths are amoral.

As we go through this article, we’ll be looking at the main symptoms of a psychopath. By the time we’ve finished, he won’t seem quite so jolly.

They use people without any compunction. It doesn’t matter how friendly they may seem, nor how long you’ve known them, if they think you’ll be useful to them in whatever endeavour they may be engaged in at that time, (and about which you won’t have a clue), they’ll simply consider you a chess piece in their ‘game.’

Feelings of guilt or remorse are completely foreign to them and they’ll always be able to explain away their behaviour in such a way that they’ll have no trouble in laying the blame for any subsequent disaster on someone else.

Now don’t forget the example of the chess piece. What happens to a pawn when it’s been taken? It’s discarded.

It comes as no big surprise that politics and showbusiness are considered to have more than their fair share of socialized psychopaths. The very qualities that make them psychopaths can make them extremely attractive.

I know this sounds contradictory, but when you think about it, it isn’t as contrary as it sounds. We realize that this friend of our’s seems without the same inhibitions, fears, doubts and uncertainties from which the rest of us suffer. Because of this, there’s a certain aura about him, one of confidence and self-sufficiency. Another of the main symptoms of a psychopath.

Indeed, they can have such charisma, (that word again!), that they almost seem like heroes to us. While we’re of use to them, they like to keep us with them and in turn, we feel flattered that such a person seems keen to associate with us.

If you do have an inkling of the sort of person they are, you’ll probably notice that while they have a marvellous sense of humour on the surface, nevertheless it tends to be cruel in nature.

They’re almost certainly risk takers, and to people who don’t know them well, they can be tremendous fun, and the way they seek out sensation, while perhaps tending to shock us, also increases our admiration for them. After all, we wouldn’t dare do what they do.

The cult leader Jim Jones was extremely magnetic. After all, he attracted a very large number of followers to his ‘Jonestown’ settlement. However, it was discovered that as a child, he used to enjoy dissecting live animals. This is a common indicator of future psychopathy.

The well known English writer George Allen Knot has authored a scientific book called “Journey by other ways”. In this book of fiction Knot has penned such a vehicle that helps man travel thousands of miles within a few seconds. This aircraft travels with the speed of light and one fictitious person in the book drops many travelers at their desired destination on the way. This fictitious vehicle is neither made up of any metal nor is any technology like engine etc attached to it. Instead some scientists with the help of their potent power of resolve (Sankalpa Shakti) arrange subtle atoms in such a manner that the travelers of this fictitious vehicle become weightless. The fictitious pilot merely makes a powerful mental resolve that “I want this vehicle to reach a particular far off place” and immediately this vehicle speeds ahead with the help of subtle ‘technology’. To even say that the vehicle ‘moved’ is erroneous because within seconds it moves speedily like light to its destination (which is thousands of miles away).

This book of fiction is so imaginative that one may read it with wonderment for some time and then leave it saying “it is a mere figment of the respected author’s imagination”. And yet Woodland’s (USA) Dr. Zio Bernhardt actually experienced something of this sort. In that as per his power of resolve he reached his destination. In a well known American Journal of Parapsychology Dr. Bernhardt writes: At that time, my son was fighting a war in Vietnam (in the year 1971 A.D). Once seated in my residence I strongly felt that my son was in danger. I felt as though he was shouting aloud to me. Immediately when this deep thought flashed in my mind my body became extremely lighter in weight even than air. From Woodland in USA I reached a far off unknown place within a second. This was the place where my son was waging a war for the army.

Dr. Bernhardt continued: In that far off place raged an intense inferno. My son John was trapped in a tent and on top of him was a very heavy truck. Immediately I removed the truck from John’s body and after dragging him out of the tent I made him stand up.

Immediately my body now started regaining its original form and weight. When I opened my eyes I felt I had woken up from a half sleep semi conscious state. My wife seated besides me was checking my pulse. I asked her: Tell me, what happened? She replied: I felt as though for sometime you had become abnormal! I then related my amazing experience to her but according to her it was merely some bad dream. And yet inwardly I failed to agree with my wife’s observation. After 6 months John returned home since he was on leave. John later told us about how he was trapped in a blazing inferno while fighting the Vietnam War and that miraculously he managed to escape the jaws of death.

After hearing what John had said Dr. Bernhardt was convinced that as soon as he intuitively and with the help of telepathy got knowledge of this near fatal accident in Vietnam, his own subtle body reached there so as to save John from dying thus. The question he asked himself was: Could it be possible that with the help of ones subtle body one could travel any where at will? Spiritual Sciences give an emphatic answer saying: YES! Today slowly but surely even Modern Sciences’ attention has been strongly drawn in this direction. Many such incidences have been recorded the world over wherein not the physical body but the subtle body was fully active.

The subtle body can be separated from the gross visible body as has been the experience of many people the world over. Some years back an experience of the world famous actress Elizabeth Taylor had been published. Elizabeth Taylor as written in that publication was to undergo a major operation. She was made to lie down on the operation table and was anaesthetized. The operation being a serious one continued for some time and when it ended the surgeons suddenly realized that Elizabeth Taylor’s body lay lifeless on the operation table. Her breathing had stopped, blood pressure was falling perilously and her heart beats were very faint. After great effort the medical team revived Elizabeth Taylor. When she regained her composure she said: I saw my self being operated with my own eyes!

Elizabeth Taylor was actually unconscious due to the influence of anesthesia administered to her for the operation. The doctors were wonderstruck and hence asked her: How could you see your own operation being carried out by us? Elizabeth Taylor replied: I too was seeing my physical body lying on the operation table just as I can see the body of another person (meaning she was a witness or Sakshi of her own body). I saw my entire gross body i.e. head, face, mouth, nose etc. I actually felt that I had ‘come out of my body’. I felt I was seeing my body just as I would be seeing the body of any other individual. I felt that my own body was separate from me. At that time I felt that my body was very light in weight akin to a bird’s feather.

Since the doctors suspected that Taylor had temporarily entered a dream state they asked her: Tell us, what exactly happened during the operation? Taylor described each step of the operation. Not only this but she also described what apparatus and materials were used for the operation and in what sequence! Amazingly she also described how the chief surgeon had yelled when a particular apparatus was missing and what words he had exactly uttered.

After hearing Elizabeth all doubts were dispelled. A point to note is that anyone well versed with Indian Spiritual Philosophy will not be surprised at all to read incidences like those mentioned above because Indian Spirituality has always maintained that apart from the gross body (Sthool Sharira) there exists a subtle body (Sookshma Sharira) and a causal body (Karana Sharira). As against this such incidences can certainly amaze Westerners. It is not as though Westerners do not know about the soul being separate from the body because saints and great philosophers of the West too have deeply studied Spiritual sciences. No doubt they accepted the existence of a subtle principle but because flourishing Modern Sciences scoffed those findings as ‘blind beliefs’, intellectuals the world over failed to give due importance to this subtle principle.

And yet despite their non acceptance miraculous incidences explained above continue to take place even today. This has forced modern material scientists too to accept that man’s consciousness is not eternally bound to his gross body of flesh and bones. This is because the conscious principle/subtle body can move about everywhere without the gross body moving an inch. The great Psychologist Dr. Themla Moss has proved that “All individuals without exception can separate their conscious/subtle body from their gross body and within a second can travel to regions thousands of miles away”.

In order to prove the existence of that subtle conscious body which is beyond the material laws of nature, Dr. Moss enumerated many real incidences. One such incidence took place in 1908 A.D. There was a meeting of the House of Lords in Great Britain. A ‘no confidence’ motion was set against the government at that time and voting for the same was to take place that very day. The opposition Party was very strong politically and hence it was most required that all government members of the House be present and that none remain absent. And yet one very important ruling party member Sir Cornrush was very ill. There was no way he could get up from his bed at home and yet he was very keen on attending the voting session at the House of Lords. He pleaded with the doctors to allow him to attend the voting session but the doctors refused to do so point blank. Thus he failed to attend the voting session. And yet in the House of Lords many members saw Sir Cornrush taking part in the voting session. On the other hand doctors attending to the ailing Sir Cornrush insisted that he was resting in his bed at his residence.

Regarding one more incident Dr. Moss writes: A session was going on in Victoria House of British Columbia Parliament. At that time one of its honorable members called Charles Wood was very ill. The doctors had given hope for Wood’s very survival too. And yet Charles Wood was very keen on attending that Parliament session. The doctors refused to allow Wood to even get up from his bed and hence in despair he continued resting there. And yet very amazingly other members of Parliament actually saw Charles Wood seated in Victoria House for the session. During the said session many photographs too were taken and when they were developed one could see Charles Wood clearly in them!

The world famous philosopher, thinker and psychologist Dr. Carl Jung himself has experienced his subtle body separating or ‘coming out’ of his physical body. This experience has been elaborated further in his famous book “Memories, Dreams and Reflections”. In an incident in the year 1944 A.D. Carl Jung got a heart attack. It was a very dangerous attack and according to his doctor, Dr. Jung was face to face with death. Dr. Jung writes about this experience as follows: While I was being administered medicines and injections for saving my life I experienced many strange things. Even now it is difficult for me to decisively say whether I was unconscious at that time or whether I was undergoing a vivid dream. And yet what is crystal clear is that I actually felt I was ‘hanging’ in interstellar space. Further my body felt as though it was as light as a cotton fiber. From the place actually where I was I felt I was seeing Jerusalem which was thousands of miles away as though I was seated in an air craft flying in the sky with the city flying past below on earth. After this I manifested in a worship hall. There I felt my body to be so weightless that I could go about anywhere without any hindrance. Immediately I saw a ’shadow’ hovering above me. This ’shadow’ said: Now you must re-enter your physical body. I hence carried out its command. Now my experience was that I was no longer independent to move about as before. But what is very important is that this vivid experience gave me inner wisdom and thus all my previous doubts were dispelled totally. Now I realized what actually takes place after any human being dies.

Without doubt today Modern Material Science has concluded in one voice that what we call ‘matter’ is not an ultimate independent unit of this cosmos. Instead great scientists proclaim that a miniscule atom of matter is also the result of many more subtle particles. When these subtle particles were analyzed during high leveled research studies the Philosophy of Consciousness commenced.

In the year 1968 A.D., renowned Russian scientists like Dr. V. Inushin, Chekov, N. Norovov, N. Korarova and Guadulin carried out important experiments. After completing their research studies they accepted that all creatures of the world not only possess a gross physical body (made of flesh, bones etc) but that they possess a subtle conscious body too.

These eminent Russian scientists called this subtle body as “The Biological Plasma Body”. While elaborating further they said that it not just merely a collective unit of preliminary units of life which in turn arise from activated electrical molecules but that it is a well managed and self controlled principle. It thus manifests its own magnetic arena.

Spiritual Sciences proclaim that subtle consciousness can never be ‘grasped by any gross principle and that it is only a subjective experience. It is but natural that in future Modern Science which has analyzed this gross material world at great length will realize that consciousness can never be pin pointed with even the most advanced technological apparatus and that instead they will have to dive deep into the recesses of their soul/psyche to gain a first hand subjective experience.

While researching into the Biological Plasma Body renowned scientists have also analyzed their underlying principles. Soviet scientists have conducted many experiments in order to study the designing/structure and function of this Bio-plasma. Later they concluded that Bio-plasma predominantly exists in the brain region. Further functionally it is most active in the Sushumna (subtle spine) and muscular cells.

The Bhagwad Geeta compares this human body to a tree wherein the branches are at the base and the roots are at the top end. Scientists have proven the existence of a vital force which is not cosmic consciousness/soul but is energy of the level of the subtle body. It is also called the electrical energy of the human body. It is present in all creatures without exception.

Prof. Dr. Heraldwar of Yale University’s Neuro Academy has proved that every creature be it a mere ant too is covered by an ‘electro-dynamic’ aura. Later another scientist of this very University named Dr. Leonard Ravitz continued research studies on this line. According to his findings this ‘electro-dynamic’ aura can be influenced with the help of the brain. If we make a parallel study, Indian Spiritual Science has given us the path of Dhyana-Dharana or Meditation-Concentration as elucidated in Yogic texts.

Now it is virtually a water tight conclusion that Modern Science too is heading in this direction and that too with great success. A point to be noted is that this success was already attained if we study ancient Yoga Philosophy texts. Mythological (Puranas) and other spiritual texts describe so many examples which can only be called miraculous and mind boggling.

When we understand the infinite potency of subtle principles it just does not seems impossible that Rishis, Munis, demigods, demons etc traveled to far off galaxies, planets etc in a matter if micro seconds via their will power (Sankalpa Shakti) or a subtle medium. It is a great possibility that in future scientists find a way to reach other planets, galaxies etc via a subtle medium instead of inventing hi-fi technology which uses up billions of hard earned dollars. The famous electronics specialist Dr. Nichovson has gone on to say that the electronic medium will become so powerful in the next fifty years that with its help scientists will be able to travel easily in interstellar space. Suppose a scientist wants to solve a problem seated billions of miles away in another planet a scientist from Earth will tell him: Please wait for just a minute because I will myself come there and solve it! All this will happen only with the help of the subtle body.

It is important to note that each individual does not possess merely one body made up of flesh, blood etc. This is because within this gross visible body exist 2 more bodies called subtle body (Sukshma Sharira) and causal body (Karana Sharira). Between these 2 bodies the subtle body is more active and influential. After death the physical body disintegrates but the subtle body’s existence persists. It is this subtle body that paves the way for a fresh new body which is called ‘birth’ by us all.

After one dies although the physical body disintegrates ones mind, psychic imprints (Sanskars) and good deeds/bad deeds continue to exist and enter a new body called rebirth. This subtle body also harbors memory of previous births/incarnations. Hence many a times people identify and remember their past life family members, dear ones etc. It is this subtle body that ‘transports’ ones mind, psychic imprints (Sanskars) and good deeds/bad to the new body (rebirth) after death of the previous body. In reality when we die a certain type of state of ‘rest’ ensues wherein it is as though a living being is warding off the ‘tension’ and ‘hard work’ performed in the previous body. It is like a business man, executive, teacher, house wife etc who after a hard long grinding day, goes to sleep at night for a well deserved rest. Next day when they wake up they feel rejuvenated and look forward to another hard day’s work. In the same way after death when the subtle body ‘rests’ for some time before being reborn it manifests enough capacity to toil hard in the next body called rebirth. Of course there are certain living beings who take up a fresh new body (birth) after giving up the previous body (death) without any rest or pause. Generally such re-born individuals tend to be relatively weak both in body and mind.

In any birth the subtle body is as functional as the gross body. When we go to sleep at night and visualize vivid dreams know for sure that it is the subtle body which is at work. It is only the subtle body that is solely responsible for divine vision, hearing far off sounds, seeing far off objects, thought movements, knowledge of the future (prophecy making), visualizing demigods etc. Via Yoga steps like Pratyahar (mastering the 5 sense organs), Dharana (inculcating a one pointed focused mind), Dhyana (uninterrupted meditation) and Samadhi (trance or super conscious state) the aspirant makes his subtle body sacred and potent. This subtle body is the fount of Ridhi-Sidhis (Divine Powers).

As soon as death overtakes us our physical body gets destroyed immediately. On an average it takes some time before one gets a fresh new body (birth). Between death and a new birth a living being exists solely due to the help of the subtle body. Even after one is reborn with a new gross body, the subtle and causal bodies too simultaneously continue to exist in it. They are the root source of Extra Sensory Perceptions or ESP. Via devotion, meditation and other spiritual practices it is the subtle and causal bodies that are made more one pointed and taintless. If these 2 bodies are made potent our physical body exudes radiance, valor, divine aura/light and divine wisdom. Zest and zeal in ones life is but the manifestation of a radiant subtle body.

Heaven and hell are also manifestations of the subtle body. Wisdom, good/bad psychic imprints, good/bad qualities, inclinations etc have a direct relationship with the subtle body. Ghosts etc too are dependent on the subtle body. It also is responsible for the manifestation of divine experiences, Divine Powers of Yoga (Ridhi-Sidhi), dream interpretations etc.

In order to prove emphatically the existence of the subtle body, many incidences have been described in Ancient History, Mythology etc. Adi Guru Shankaracharya entered the corpse of a dead King Amrook to gain wisdom of married life. Ramkrishna Paramhans, even after giving up his saintly mortal coil had given Darshan (sacred vision) to his disciple Swami Vivekananda. Puranas describe such examples virtually on every page.

The founder of Theosophical Society Madam Blavatsky was known to lock herself in a room and yet appear in the midst of others who were outside the room with the help of her subtle body. In fact she would even give spiritual discourses. Similar incidences have been described with reference to Colonel Townsend. Amongst well known Yoga aspirants Harvetelman, Lindars, Andrew Jackson, Dr. Malth, Jelt Carrington, Duravel, Muldon, Oliver Laws, Pavers, Dr. Mesmer, Alexandra, Davidnit, Brunton etc have mentioned their experiences and practices which were based on proving the existence of the subtle body. J. Muldon had successfully demonstrated the separation of his subtle body from his gross physical body. Based on these experiences he has authored a book called “The Projection of the Astral Body”.

In India Swami Vishudhananda and Swami Nigamananda have given us all proof of such tangible experiences. It is said that once Tailang Swami was put in police lock up by an English Police Officer for roaming around naked in Varanasi. Next day to everyone’s astonishment Tailang Swami was roaming around outside the police lock up. Such descriptions are also found with reference to great saints like Mahindranath, Gorakhnath, Jalandharnath, Kanappa etc.

Following is a list of names of great Western Philosophers and Seers who not only belive in the existence of the soul but also agree that the soul persists even after the physical body dies and deteriorates: Ralph Waldo Trine, Midney, Flower, Ela Wheeler, Bilcox, William walker, Atkinson, James, Kenny etc. Great Seers of past times like Carlisle, Emerson, Kant, Hegel, Thomas, Hillman Dyson etc too have a similar viewpoint.

Our actions via the gross body and thoughts of the mind get ‘printed’ in the subtle body which are called psychic-imprints (Sanskars). Man’s nature and character are but the sum total of his thinking and activities spanning over innumerable incarnations. The more this nature is adhered to, to that extent those types of psychic imprints get etched in our psyche. In turn these imprints mature and ripen so as to create our good/bad destiny and fruits of actions. In this manner it is the subtle body that has designed the process of giving man the fruits of his past deeds or misdeeds.

If we eat unwholesome food, breathe polluted air and act undesirably our physical body undergoes diseases and illnesses. In the same way vile thoughts and vile actions “pollute” the subtle body and thus loses its power and potential. A man who foolishly insists on pursuing the thorny path of tainted thinking and actions is always seen to be weak and full of cowardice. As a result a day comes when he becomes a mentally ill and diseased patient. By itself the subtle body pervades our gross body just as butter in milk. Despite this it is more concentrated in the brain area. Vile/tainted thinking induces imbalance in our mind, brain and subtle body. This results in ones inner personality getting tainted and diseased. This in turn manifests externally as obstacles in the way of man’s material and spiritual progress.

So, how do you treat a psychopath? Very, very carefully! No, psychopaths have only been ‘treated’ when caught in a criminal endeavour. Then the treatment has consisted simply of punishment. Of course, it’s no more ‘treatment’ than the rest of the prison population receives.

Psychopathy is considered a personality disorder and because of this, it’s virtually impossible to treat. In any case, psychopaths are probably very happy indeed with the way they are. Indeed, evidence has been found that their brains work quite differently from other people’s in some respects.

At the Institute of Psychiatry at Kings College, London, a very interesting bit of research was carried out when scientists took six psychopaths and nine normal people and showed them pictures of faces. These faces displayed various emotions.

First, they showed them photos of happy, smiling people. Increased activity was observed in the brains of both groups in the areas involved with recognizing facial expressions. However, in the psychopathic group, the increase was smaller.

Then the groups were shown photos of fearful faces, people obviously terrified of something. By the way, both the smiling faces and the fearful faces were compared to neutral faces, hence the researchers were able to gauge the increased or decreased brain activity.

When the fearful faces were shown to the normal people, as compared to the neutral faces, their brain activity increased, whereas the psychopaths showed considerably less activation.

Psychopaths are much less concerned with the emotions of others, except as a way of manipulating them. However, if their plans are thwarted, they can become decidedly emotional. It is, really, all about ’self.’

I hate to say this, but we can all behave psychopathically on occasion, especially when the circumstances are extreme enough. Whole cultures, even, can become psychopathic, at least more so than others.

When a society encourages individuality and material gain, together with organized violence as was seen in Ancient Rome in gladiatorial combat, then psychopathy can descend upon the nation like a disease.

Human hurt and suffering, they feel, are there purely for their entertainment and when human life is held so cheaply, then who can wonder that the individual who’s a member of that culture takes on at least some of those psychopathic tendencies?

Even so, the great majority of people would still be capable of genuine empathy and consideration towards others.

In fact, the vast majority of people today really do care about others, and are genuinely shocked and upset when disasters strike their fellow man.

But the psychopath continues to tread his lonely, cold and dispassionate path

I do hope you’ve found this series on psychopaths both useful and instructive. There’s so much more that you’ll find useful on my Website.

Many people wonder how dreams can be interpreted. They think that dreams are confused images that can have many different meanings, depending on the dreamer who sees them in a dream. This concept it totally wrong. It was generated by false dream interpreters who never tried to discover the hidden code of the dream language.

Only Carl Jung could decipher this code and translate dream symbols into comprehensible words.

He saw that each time that the same dream symbol appears in a dream, it is showing exactly the same things to all dreamers. He concluded that the unconscious mind that produces our dreams created the dream language based on the repetition of images. These images are symbols, and they give us specific information.

In other words, each time a dreamer sees a certain dream symbol in a dream, this symbol has for him or her the same meaning it has for all the other dreamers who may see it in their dreams.

However, the effect that each dream symbol will have for each dreamer depends on his or her personality, and personal life.

Jung looked for the similarities within the symbolism in many dreams from different people.

He also found the same dream symbolism reflected in the art and religion of different civilizations. He studied the meaning that the symbols had for them and how it related back to dream symbolism. Lastly, he had to analyze the meaning of the symbolism contained in alchemy, and compare everything he had observed, until he could finally discover the hidden meaning of dreams.

I proved that he was right thanks to recent scientific discoveries in many different fields which confirmed the importance of the dream messages. I continued his research by following his method, and discovering more.

Later I simplified Jung’s complex and obscure method of dream interpretation, transforming it into an instant and clear method of dream translation from images into words.

Today everything is very well explained for you.

The dream language is simply a language made from images instead of words. When you replace the dream images with words that define their meaning, you understand the unconscious messages contained in the dream images. You can then have a direct communication with the wise unconscious mind.

The unconscious mind sends you protective messages in dreams, so that you may avoid falling into the traps set by the wild side of your conscience. It also helps you evolve as a human being.

All dream images are important. They all contain precious messages that help you overcome all mental illnesses, transform your personality, and solve any kind of problem.

You only have to learn the symbolic meaning of each dream image in order to understand the dream language. You’ll verify that when you translate the meaning of all the dream symbols that appear in a dream, and you relate this meaning to your personal life, you are guided by the unconscious wisdom.

Too much water in dreams means lack of spirituality and lack of faith. It means materialism, and the doubt that there is another dimension in the human life beyond what belongs to Earth. In this case the dreamer will see a flood.

This symbolism was discovered by Carl Jung who examined many ancient documents, understanding that the water represents the spirit that instead of being composed by air, becomes liquid. The spirit becomes water when the dreamer doesn’t believe in the spiritual life.

Water is heavy and lives imprisoned on Earth, while the spirit is light and it can fly everywhere.

A flood in a dream is a serious warning that tries to awaken the dreamer. Life doesn’t begin on Earth and it doesn’t end here. The prevailing materialistic and atheistic concepts are far from being based on the truth. As recent scientific discoveries in many different fields reveal, when related one to another, the truth about the meaning of life and death is very complex. Because the scientific world of our time had not yet discovered how to identify the abstract presence of the human spirit this doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist.

The scientific translation of the meaning of dreams confirms the existence of the human spirit through many ways. Since all the information we receive in dream messages is always accurate and objective, as we can verify in many circumstances, we must believe in this source of information even when we cannot verify its validity. The dream messages are accurate and valid; however, the average person is ignorant of the process required to access, channel, and verify dream content.

Too much water in a dream shows the dreamer that what is happening in his or her life is very important and has another dimension. Everything contributes to the benefit of one’s spiritual evolution.

We are not merely animals that have an ephemeral existence. Everything in our life works as a process of transformation and preparation for the continuation of our evolutionary process.

This means that everything that happens in your life has a purpose.

Therefore:

- Don’t lose hope if you are suffering, because you are not suffering in vain. Something good will arise from your pain.

- Don’t be shallow by caring only about your daily life and your obligations. You must care also about your spiritual evolution, the perfection of your personality, and your salvation from the hell of regret.

Water in dreams has a different meaning when the dreamer sees only a few drops.

A few drops of water represent forgiveness. These drops represent the cleaning effect of water. Water washes up all sins, all the pain, the dust of the past, and everything that was bad.

Usually only the dreamers who will care about seriously translating the meaning of their dreams will see water appearing in the form of a few drops.

Most dreamers see too much water in their dreams because they are too shallow and superficial, and because they are far from being able to forgive their enemies.

Only those who have enough spiritual enlightenment automatically forgive their enemies, without ever thinking about revenge.

You should learn how to translate the meaning of your dreams so that the wise unconscious mind may guide you and show you how you can transform your personality.

I simplified Jung’s complicated method of dream interpretation. Now you can simply translate images into words, immediately understanding the unconscious messages.

Thanks to this knowledge, you’ll attain spiritual perfection, complete consciousness and real wisdom.

In the past, when we didn’t know the importance of the meaning of dreams, they were undervalued by everyone. Today we know that our dreams are very important not only because they show us a live map of what is happening inside our psyche, but because they give us objective information and guidance about everything that happens in our lives.

How can your dreams help you?

You have to start keeping a dream journal and a diary where you’ll take notes of the most important events of the day to begin receiving the help you require.

Study the dream language according to the scientific method of dream interpretation the same way you study any foreign language, so that you may easily learn how to translate the dream images into words that make sense to your conscious mind.

Your dreams usually talk about you and your life, especially in the beginning of your occupation with dream translation. Later they will give you information about other people and everything else you care about.

This is why your diary will help you understand the dream messages. The unconscious mind that produces your dreams sends you answers to your questions in dream messages, information about the things that most worry you, and explanations about what is happening in your life.

When you are worried about the results of your tests, the unconscious mind will relieve your anxiety by showing you that everything will be fine.

When you are making mistakes, the unconscious mind will send you dream images about the past. You will see yourself as you were when you were younger, because you will be repeating a maladaptive behavior that characterized your personality when you were still immature.

For example, in the previous day if you were thinking about quitting your job you’ll understand that the unconscious mind is sending you a warning. You must not be irresponsible like you were when you were a teen. You need this job and you should forget the idea about abandoning it.

The unconscious mind will help you find a better job if this is the case, but you should be patient. Work where you are now, and learn everything you can. Tomorrow you may need the experience you’ll acquire for working in this job, or the good references you’ll have from there in order to work in a higher position there or somewhere else.

You will see dream symbols that have a positive meaning in your dreams after making some progress in dream interpretation, and after transforming your personality to a degree. The personality change is a positive result of dream therapy.

Then you may see that you have found a key in a dream. This dream symbol shows you that you have finally found the solution you needed in order to solve a difficult problem.

You only need to learn the meaning of the most important dream symbols and understand how the information contained in your dreams helps you correct mistakes in your behavior or eliminate illogical concepts and bad ideas you have formulated to effectively change your life in a positive and rewarding way.

In the beginning you should write all your dreams down and compare one dream to another, analyzing an entire dream collection, so that you may really learn the dream language.

Once you get used with it, you’ll automatically translate all dream images into words, immediately understanding the dream messages.

All dreams have meaning. The impression that they are composed by disorganized images is the result of our ignorance. Some people believe that dreams simply reflect their fears. Even when they give importance to the meaning of their dreams, they don’t think that they could be so important. However, the truth is that all dreams are as important as our daily lives because they contain precious messages with guidance, information, warnings or predictions that save our lives.

You will be able to decipher all dream messages when you learn the dream language. You will verify how wise the unconscious mind is, and how much it helps you avoid all kinds of problems.

The symbolic dream language will show you that you must concentrate your attention on all the points of the objective reality that you tend to despise, because:

- There are many reasons for the formation of a problem,

- There are many revealing details in the external reality which give you many answers,

- You need to be connected to the objective reality instead of living lost in your own fantasies.

The symbolic dream language tries also to activate your atrophied psychological functions, making you pay attention to the psychological functions that you have been avoiding for so long.

If you belong to a psychological type based on feelings, you won’t be able to think logically. So, the unconscious mind has to show you that you have to use your capacity to think logically, even though you tend to avoid entering in the rational zone.

The symbolism used by the unconscious mind in dream messages shows you things that you don’t see, and help you use capacities that lay dormant in your psyche. This is why dreams are very meaningful, intriguing, and provoke your curiosity.

This symbolism must captivate the attention of your human conscience and transport it to another level of knowledge.

Dreams have a mysterious aspect that invites you to care about learning how to decipher the symbols that the unconscious mind uses to speak to your conscience.

In a few words, the mysterious dream language has many forms and dimensions because:

- It connects you to the wisdom of a superior mind, showing you things that your limited mind cannot absorb alone.

- It helps you develop both your intelligence and sensitivity at the same time.

- It gives you practical solutions.

- It enlightens your philosophical views.

- It purifies your spirit.

- It transforms your personality.

What is both exciting and wonderful is that you only need to study a little about the meaning of the most important dream symbols and the dream logic, so that you may reap all the benefits you can have for being guided by the extraordinary unconscious wisdom.

The scientific method of dream interpretation gives you real privileges, because the things you’ll discover for knowing the meaning of the mysterious dream language are things that nobody else knows, and that you would never be able to learn otherwise.

The dream language is made by images instead of words. These images reflect common places, known people, and various past situations of our lives; they don’t show us things that we have never seen before.

This is why some people tend to believe that we can understand their meaning by ourselves, especially when the dream images are about familiar things to us.

However, the attempt to interpret the meaning of dreams without having studied the dream language according to the scientific method is absurd. Just like we cannot understand the meaning of a foreign language simply because it uses a familiar alphabet, we cannot interpret the meaning of dreams only based on our opinion.

If we want to understand the dream language, we have to learn the dream logic. Without studying it, and without learning the meaning of the dream symbols, we cannot successfully interpret dreams.

The real meaning of dreams was discovered by Carl Jung. While using his method of dream interpretation, I continued his research and discovered a lot more. I confirmed his discoveries in my work by using recent scientific discoveries in various fields that complete his pioneer research in dream analysis.

Later I simplified this complicated method. I discovered the origin of all the absurdity existent in the human mind. I furthered discovered the true divinity of the unconscious mind that produces our dreams.

Today you can immediately learn what took a century to be discovered, and immediately reap all the privileges that this knowledge can give you.

You’ll be able to predict the future and prepare its development according to your plans; you’ll acquire perfect mental and physical health, having infinite advantages.

Because you’ll have access to a superior font of information, you’ll be able to analyze other people’s psyche as if you were invisible and you could penetrate their minds.

You will have information about the personality, the past, and the present life of the person you love. The unconscious mind is very generous, and gives you detailed explanations concerning your relationship.

You will be able to decipher any mystery. This means that you will be able to solve problems that seemed impossible to be solved, cure diseases that had no cure, understand what nobody else can understand, discover hidden thieves, relocate disappeared objects, and have a million other advantages.

The unconscious mind is the most perfect doctor you could ever find. It can cure all diseases and mental illnesses. You only have to precisely follow its guidance in order to attain the positive results you desire, even when everything is discouraging and everyone else before you has failed.

The unconscious mind knows everything. There is no mystery that it cannot decipher or explain to you.

It is only because you will have access to the unconscious wisdom provided through dreams, that you will have superior power and many privileges in all life situations.

This means that you will never fail, even when you’ll have life’s obstacles in your way.

Your life won’t be empty but meaningful; your actions won’t be absurd, but reflect your balance; and your words won’t be hypocritical, but always sincere, wise and comforting.
