The average person in the west thinks sixty thousand thoughts per day. The average attention span has fallen from four minutes in the 1920’s to eight seconds today. We have become a very impatient people and empathy scores on tests given at universities have fallen by fifty percent in three decades, while narcissism has become an epidemic, we live in the age of the “selfie”, addicted to our smart phones.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders describes narcissistic personality disorder as “a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and lack of empathy that begins by early adulthood and is present in a variety of contexts”.
ADD Attention Deficit Disorder And ADHD Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder have also become an epidemic in our schools. ADD is a result of childhood trauma resulting from a lack of attention, affection and esteem creating anxiety which overstimulates the infants developing brain, leading to all kinds of behavioral problems and a short attention span. Restlessness, fidgeting and irritability are the hallmarks of ADD.
Almost all non organic mental health issues including depression and drug addiction have their origins in childhood trauma. The current opioid crisis is a prime example as wounded children self medicate their emotional distress. Addiction should be seen as the disease of belonging as all addicts crave belonging and have been conditioned to be hypersensitive to feelings of rejection and abandonment in infancy. Narcissism is present in all addicts, self centeredness develops from feelings of neglect in childhood, the child becomes so focused on its unmet needs that empathy fails to develop and selfish behavior is displayed, often as the inability to share as a child. The child suffering as a result of its own unmet needs cannot see the needs of others. The selfish child is often punished and met with disapproval (Rejection) further compounding the trauma. We live in a society that judges and punishes behaviors but never addresses root causes of the unacceptable behavior.
Civilized society is in a state of collapse and has been since the advent of capitalism. Money truly is the root of all evil. Our society, our social structure is a socioeconomic system totally governed and controlled by money.
Capitalism has destroyed the family, the community, the village and is now working to destroy the nation in pursuit of the globalist agenda. The globalist agenda cannot succeed without the destruction of the nation state. Any sense of belonging, any sense of Unity must be destroyed so that people can be made subject to the New World Order.
Since the advent of capitalism most families have been so stressed financially, so economically focused on meeting the basic human needs for food, clothing and shelter that they have been unable to meet the basic emotional needs of their infants. The infant needs attention, affection, feelings of significance and emotional freedom to express itself in infantile ways without judgement. Parents that are living one paycheck away from being homeless can’t meet their child’s needs, the parents are to emotionally exhausted, burned out.
Currently market manipulation by capitalists has placed the price of housing beyond reach, resulting in both parents working outside the home, while the children are farmed out to strangers in so called day care centers. Children must remain with the mother for a minimum of five years, or significant trauma will result. Believe it or not this was the norm in the 1950’. How many working class families can afford for the mother not to work? Very few, and children suffer and these wounded broken children are the future of society.
Oh, but wait a minute. We are the wounded broken children, it was our emotional needs that weren’t met and we are raising children of our own now.
The destruction of the family and thus the society was carefully planned capitalists knew their agenda could not succeed in a caring compassionate society. They needed a self focused individualistically based society and so they hired psychologists to help them create it.

Capitalism has purposely caused the collapse of the family, leading to the collapse of society and nations. Capitalism will destroy the planet very soon, humans are faced with near term extinction, probably within the next ten years. Empathy and compassion will be be needed desperately if we are to exit existence gracefully. The human mind is capable of transcendence, we can increase our level of consciousness and even transcend this world and death. Facing extinction now is the time to overcome the world and enter into the realm of transcendence. now is the time for healing our wounded child so that our Authentic Self can emerge. Only the Authentic Self is capable of transcendence.
