Elva Thompson – For the intellectual mindset, the statement ‘Cogito Ergo Sum – ‘I think therefore I am, is a given. It is a fact of life so encompassing that the whys and wherefores of the thinking process are rarely questioned.
Many of us if we are true to ourselves have been shocked by the violence of our own thoughts, sexual fantasies, and our actions and behavior under stress. How many times have we said something hurtful to another and on reflection asked ourselves ‘Why did I say that? I don’t know what got into me.’
We can see the terrible impulses carried out by those who are under the influence of alcohol and drugs especially the anti depressants and synthetic drugs big pharma likes to peddle. We witness the hideous barbarities of brainwashed religious fanatics of all colours and creeds, and many are appalled at such acts while others are stimulated and aroused.
Haunting of humanity
Humanity is haunted, and it is a truth that when self abdicates in a stupor or a fit of blinding rage or lust, all divinity is lost, and a monster moves in and takes control. How many times have we heard someone say in response to a horrific and bloody tragedy. “I don’t know what got into him or her.” Or “He/she must have been out of their mind.” We use and hear such expressions without investigating the cause – without asking what possesses the minds of those that commit such heinous acts.
