The Narcissist/Submissivity Thread (inb4 cognitive dissonance)

[meadow-foreigner]

I've wondered about how what we call narcissism (and other names) translates into Law of One, e.g., STO/STS, free will, etc.

Initially, I related STS with narcissistic energies, and STO with the 'supplier' energies. Upon closer inspection, it is much more nuanced and subtle than this, IMO; it is not as clear cut and facile as this.

And, then there's the matter of one's level of awareness or consciousness. If/when one becomes aware that one is playing either role, what does one do?

Being sensitive, my experiences with narcissistic others/self leave me very drained and discombobulated. Though these interactions are challenging for me, they teach me a lot. AFOG.

I am still asking myself: where are the narcissistic and the giver parts of me? Am I satisfied with this balance or might I like to change it?

It is indeed a subtle dynamic. In Ra's terminology, narcissistic/submissive dynamics are a consequence of orange ray blockage (either/or hyper/hypo activation).

An example of orange ray blockage, as stated by Ra, is a desire, in regards to other-Selves, to possess (usually narcissistic) and/or be possessed (usually submissive).

When you realize you're playing such role, it may be useful to engage in corporeal movement activities that promote true mindfulness to your mind-body connection.

True-color orange, as stated by Ra, simply is, without differentiation. It is movement in and on by itself.

As in the draining aspects of narcissism/submissivity; it is so due to its characteristic orange-ray blockage. Both are STS by definition, as there are egotistical gains in both ends of such dynamic.

An obvious and well-known example is that of the so-called 'toxic relationships', in that titter-totter dominant/submissive roles.

Other, more subtler examples are often explicited by people's behavioral attitudes in regards to other-Selves: patronizing/condescending attitudes, usually paired with micro-aggressions and a self-centered mentality. All signs of narcissism/submissivity.


It is a hierarchical dynamic by definition: predatory-like, inspiring itself from certain animal behaviors, usually feline.

Most importantly, it is incomplete, and unsustainable.

As for a sidenote: there's a close resemblance in the usage of the upside-down smiley and the archetypical Significator of the Body (The Hanged Man tarot card). You may want to check on why you subconsciously used it.
