Hinduism’s Gita also emphasizes this spiritual dynamic. Sri Krishna speaks directly about individuals who become dominated by cruelty, ego, and greed. Such individuals spiritually devolve into increasingly demonic states. According to Sri Krishna, these souls continually sink into darker spiritual existences driven by arrogance and ignorance. This is not about random punishment; it’s about consistent choice and the spiritual law that persistent darkness yields profound consequences.
Jewish Perspective on Narcissism
Judaism echoes this truth through both the Psalms and the Talmud. Psalm 81 captures the spiritual law succinctly: “So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.” The Talmud further emphasizes this principle, stating, “In the path a person wishes to go, they are led.” Essentially, heaven does not force anyone toward righteousness. If someone continues to pursue darkness, they will eventually be permitted to fully embrace the path they have chosen, accompanied by dark spiritual influences.
Linking Spiritual Teachings to Narcissistic Behavior
Let us clearly link these profound spiritual teachings directly to the behavior of narcissists. You have experienced that unsettling darkness beneath their carefully maintained masks, haven’t you? You have noticed their lifeless stares and their serpent-like eyes that lack genuine human warmth. But why is their energy so oppressive? The narcissist does not merely behave poorly or selfishly. They consistently demonstrate traits universally recognized as spiritually demonic: their constant lying without remorse, sadistic pleasure in others’ suffering, ruthless manipulation without guilt, and an inability to experience genuine empathy or love. These are far beyond mere psychological disturbances; they are clear spiritual indicators of deep, darker influences at play.
These traits explain why logical arguments and rational discussions fail miserably with narcissists. This is why love and compassion don’t reach them, and kindness is weaponized against you. You’re not dealing with someone who can simply be reasoned with or healed through emotional warmth. No, you are interacting with someone spiritually compromised, someone operating from a deeply corrupted spiritual foundation.
