Sorcery in Psychiatry and Capitalism 05 13 2026

So the Pharasees accused Jesus Christ of being a Sorcerer.

But let's attempt to define what it would mean to be a sorcerer.

And perhaps this sentence fits it best, a sorcerer asks themselves.:

"What does he have that I can give to other people that would then make them like me better?"

In other words what can I take from someone and give it to other people whereby those people will then like me better?

And you know an interesting point comes up here.  In terms of who we look to for approval in life?  Did you ever ask yourself that question?  "Who do I look to for approval in life from?"

And if you read the above you might come to the conclusion a weak minded person does not look to the same type of person for approval that you do?

"What does he (or she?) have that I can give to other people that will make them (other people) like me better?"

And indeed perhaps with women (the or she? clause above) the sorcerer looks to give the virtue or virginity of a woman to other people therefore they (those other "people") will then like the sorcerer better.

And what can "other people" above be defined to be, those who would accept such; if not demons?

So indeed do you as I look at it this way?  Those who look to approval from demons are the weakest minded among us?

"Oh, no, don't release those child rape files because the demon base I have established as a constituency would abandon me?"

And now lets think of that construct.  A demon fearing being abandoned by fellow demons?  That must be the ultimate low for a demon?  And perhaps that is because a demon knows that a good man will never have them as friend or consider them to be equal.  And so the demon does indeed come to the correct conclusion that they are not equal.  And hence is motivated to ask the question and related behavior of, "What does he have that I can give to other people that would make them then like me better?"

And the demon has already learned helplessness as to the validity of their own ideas early in life.  Hence, "What does he have that I can give to other people that would make them like me better?"

And hence, in order to concur this perhaps the insight is, a demon fears abandonment by other demons more than anything else in life?

I think our land of the Free has had enough of this.
