Psychological patterns of transgression -VII (steal and robbery)

VII.                   Transgression of steal or robbery

Psychological patterns of this crime are:

-         need of attention, desire being noticed and accepted in society;

-         need of personal power, of social respect;

-         feeling alone, isolated, disrespected, miserable, paltry or fear of that

-         fear of loss – losing material goods, respect, social status, property, money, of losing safety, or fear someone close to you to lose all.

    The main cause of this crime is closed Heart chakra and Solar Plexus. Such person has usually very low self-esteem and very little personal power. He can`t overcome any conflict, he is person of fear, and he is already not respected by others. That state of “being miserable” or being poor” or neglected, isolated (example gypsies, beggars), makes him feel justified to any anti-social action. In his mind why he should be compassionate or feel with "others” who are the actual reason for his “miserable, paltry” life. He is like no one for others. That’s how he starts to step over the social laws and other people, because he already believes the social justice is not done to him. Unlike the murder, in which many times the criminal feels regret (except in ideological cases), person who steal doesn’t feel regret for his action. He is more arrogant, as his reasons are usually based on wrong ideology and “spoiled justice system”. Such person doesn’t believe in the country, in institutions or in laws.  

    Of course there are many more reasons why person would participate in any crime. Another significant one would be unclear self-believe and personal values, that can help him to follow the negative groups, and people of evil. These weak souls can follow others as leaders, as they will be in need of “great example” to follow, regardless of what value. Transgression of robbery and steal is visible in example of “terrorist attacks”. They work with wrong ideological views, and they aim to arise social conflict and fear, their final aim is not “murder” as in such case they would kill one particular person. These people have also dangerous mind because they don’t feel regret, their mind is based on actions against “social injustice”. That’s how in their own mind they do “justice”, even it seems totally out of logic, and inhuman act. They have also combination of inner conflicts – mind of killing, suicide, robbery. All of these people possess characteristics and fears of all transgressions –they desire to be notices (social attention), they have need of love (to love others, to give), they are in need of self-love. That means of course these criminals are ill minded people, living in their own reality.  

Conclusion about transgressions:

      All crimes and transgressions have rooted desire to brake out taboos and social norms, to go through, to pass the “red line”. All of the are negative ways to run away from Life and reality in present. They are state of mind (and heart) that exist in fixed reality – picture that doesn’t change or move. In these crimes the personal time is extended (train is blocked in the rail-way), the transgression aims to move the time, to brake it into pieces. This is the way of escape from world of Inner self.

The spiritual question I want to ask here is: what to do to help such people? What is the solution?

The main thing is: you cant fight fire with another fire! Sometimes not even with water. Fire should be transformed from inside, from itself into rain. That’s what we call “miracle”, but its very real process. The way to help people of transgression to go on positive way, is through mind. If their heart is closed will be too hard for anyone to show them “love”, as others also reflect the social idea and put a stamp on criminals. They are isolated people (prisoners) with social stamp of danger. That’s how they cant be reached often and they remain such. What we need to do is to show them the new ways of escape. To show them the side of reality they didn’t see. To make them feel valued for anything positive they have.

There is no need to “understand” or tolerate in wrong way any transgression. The criminals know very well they are such, they don’t have illusion, but they are disconnected from their higher Self. Also they cant change their way for some reason (the same as people who have bad habit cant stop it fast –like drinking, smoking, eating unhealthy foods, but they are aware of it).

The way of light is to “show” people of transgression not that they are dark and evil, which they are aware, but show them the positive way to escape, to make them be “awaken”, so they can exit from path of darkness with their own willing. Only from inside they can do that.

Positive ways of escape are all ways of self-expression and love to others: to participate in organization defending animals, to help others, to take care of old people or children; and all possible talents given to humanity are positive ways to shine your light –writing, reading, singing, performance, art, sculpture, fine arts, science. We can be sure that anyone of the criminals in world has at least one talent, which he can develop and serve the earth in his mission. They chose the “negative” way which is ok too, as it will lead them again to the truth – next time.

Psychological patterns of transgression- VI (rape, sexual abuse)

VI.                   Transgression of rape and sexual abuse

     From spiritual aspect this kinds of transgression is equally "hard crimes", as well as crimes by all lows and social regulations. The hardest crime looks on the surface with similar psychological reasons as “murder”. But the truth is, committing sexual abuse is crime closer to suicide. That comes from the same need: of self-love. In contrast to person who is able to commit murder, or thief (who needs to feel love to others, to give love), someone who is able for rape needs to feel love for/towards himself. He is with the one of the lowest energies of all crimes. He is person in state of blocked heart, not just injured, and blocked Third eye and most chakras are in state of imbalance. Another fear for such individual is fear of death (to lose life), fear of losing someone that he loved (family, child). That reflects in ill mind. All of the people, who commit heard crimes (like murder, or sexual abuse) are already in state of ill mind and escape from reality. They don’t see anymore the world, but they see it from their eyes of blocked heart. Of course they should have lived for long period of time in this state, in order to commit hard crime. Love is the cure, but it cant come in closed heart. That’s why there is no other way for such people, but from themselves, realizing and opening their heart. In the same way, person who commits suicide, has closed Heart center, the picture of whole world around him is collapsed, he view life as empty paper, without meaning. That’s why this person is “lost soul”, that means he cant find his inner self, he lost connection with his Inner child.

    Of course not everyone who have lost connection with his inner child can reach to the bottom. Transgression is question of choice. If you are able to commit murder, or tell lie, that doesn’t mean you will do it. You have choice – to make action or not. That’s why all crimes are question of choice. Not all people that are able to commit murder will do that, also because of cause – and effect. They may not fall in trap of “suitable situation” or experience the negative emotion to high extend in order to do the crime. That’s why I said before  - negative states of mind and what religion consider as a sin (lie, mischief, rage, aggression, beating, greed, gluttony..) can be not labeled as crimes by social law. But they are the root for real criminal actions.

The transgression that has strongest karmic cause- effect is Incest – to have attraction or sexual desire to someone, who is forbidden for you from social law. This kind of crime is also hidden as it speaks about taboo and trauma from past life experience. Many times patterns are repeating, not as we think, all what we experience in past life will be in opposite side now. People who commit incest are like ill who take their illness from long time ago, but they are not aware of it.

Psychological patterns of transgression -IV (lie, mischief)

V.                   Transgression of lie, mischief

   As you can see in the article about “Earthly stones of life”, dealing with lie and malice is one of the stones humanity needs to overcome. Actually this is the way to reveal the truth. Lies don’t come alone and are never without reason. They are specially like obvious chain from situations, and believes. Lies are very often related to social problems, injustice, discrimination or fear. Most of the lies are related to fear of something, or just uncomfortable situations, again related to fears.

What is interesting in the psychological pattern of lie, is that two things come in conflict together, as they look opposite.

-         need and desire to find the truth (about self and world) versus –

-          fear from the truth itself;

-         fear to look, reveal and stand up for (defend) your inner Self 

All these fears are confronting, and reasons for lies can be multiple. Many times lie comes as result of differences in your norms, values, believes and spiritual self, with the one of the group, family, society. Such differences can be very sharp for the mind of some sensitive people. They don’t find the “positive” way to escape, so they slide in the way of “lie, mischief”. Some of the core reasons of lie or mischief are connected with fear.

-         fear as reason of different social norms, social anxiety, cultural taboos;

-         not understanding social behavior or institutions;

-         running away from reality in the negative form you see it

-         feeling isolated or alone (not fitting in) family, society, group

                                                                                     

The deep reason for lying is imbalances in heart chakra, fear of not being loved and accepted as you are, with your positive and negative sides. It reflects in fear to stand up for your inner Self. That fear to express can cause also problems in Throat chakra (thyroid).

Most of the transgression and crimes have result in unhealthy Root chakra (home, fear, father relations).

Psychological patterns of transgression -III (gluttony, greed, adultery)

III.                   Transgression of gluttony and greed

     This kind of “crossing” the line cant be signified as “crime”. The limits of gluttony and greed are tangible and not well outlined. They are mixed up with other negative emotions. Due to that elusiveness of the feelings they cant be seen as crimes, because they are the cause, not the result. Even so, I have to say, the root of many problems in society is exactly due to negative emotions, crystallizing in gluttony and greed, which are mostly not realized by people. This is quite normal. When we think of a criminal (like terrorist), who has certain views and fixed ideology, he is totally sure in his “right” and power to “spread justice”. He sees the reality in opposite way of social values. He does not believe in social justice (for that he has his own reason). Gluttony is not realized as such, due to the fact that is not appearing in the surface, but it` s in the roots – where most of the negative feelings occur. Moreover the base of greed and gluttony are unified, approved and spread social values, behavior and interests. They are accepted as “right”, good and “justified”. This acceptance makes the appearing of such negative stems of greed very easy. It is approved from everyone. (think about eating meat. If you eat meat of human being, this is totally out of any social, spiritual, ethical lows, its labeled “perversion” “abnormal”, “inhuman”, “hard crime”. In the same time biggest percentage of humanity are still consuming “animals meat” from all kinds, regardless if animals have soul, eyes and heart, the same as humans. This is not labeled as “inhuman”, except in some specific groups.) That’s how the manner and values of the majority are ruling and dominant, not the manner of what is “actually true” or right. The same is valid for gluttony and greed. When someone is greedy, he wont be labeled as such, because the outlines of the feelings are blurred. All society can be (and it is in real) based on such feelings, so they are accepted as “normal” and justified. (More on the topic of insatiable society and greed you can read in my text “…”)

The chakra that represents mostly these negative feelings and states of mind is Manipura (Solar Plexus). This is the area of liver, stomach, intestine, it helps in good digestion and health of all body. Here is also center of power, self-control and feeling of happiness from life. The first step to that is: healthy food. To add more, the first step for anyone to spiritual growth is mindful eating habits; Healthy food, this is the main reflection of mind and heart, if humans want to stay away from greed and gluttony. This food is not found in what we call “hypermarkets”. The result of the greed and gluttony as social “base” is obesity syndrome. More and more generations after the explosion of American style kitchen, and semi-finished products, suffer from obesity. It has roots in so many factors like: stress, polluted environment, speed of life style, not enough sleep, not enough rest, imbalances, bad eating habits, eating big portions at once, no prioritizing sport activity or walking, other bad habits –like alcohol and cigarettes. All little things matter for your healthy food. The psychological pattern of greed and gluttony comes from:

-       need of more material goods, need of expansion goods, need to accumulate, grow money, property and material possessions;

-         if they are more than my inner “needs” reflects in obesity

-         fear to lose material goods, home, property, money or job

In the core of need for material goods expansion, stays the “unrealized” need of spiritual expansion.

II.                 Transgression of adultery

    Many times transgression of adultery is related to transgression of lie (mischief), or hiding the truth about your Self. That means most people don’t make transgression “manifesting it” or in open way. They want to hide this action, realizing its socially, morally, spiritually with negative sign. Its not approved and it`s labeled as sin. Adultery means you want to hide actions from others, to whom you commit yourself to be honest. That’s why it` s usually including a lie, mischief. This kind of “crime” although it’s surely a “sin” from spiritual and religious point, it` s still not a “crime” by the social laws. (not every society). While in Europe act of adultery is not punishable by the law, in Arabic and Muslim societies this act is considered as crime, and is punishable with prison; Something more –in Muslim culture and religion, person could even commit another crime, by killing the spouse, who made adultery. This will be justified” and not punished, as it is accepted as “condition of strong fury, anger, shock or disappointment”. In such cases the man could kill his wife, if he found her to be guilty in adultery (even in some cases that cant be really proved). That’s how one crime is followed by another, as way of “justice”. I wont discuss here why this is not a proper low and behavior in any way.

What causes adultery is usually very obvious. Here I speak about psychological patterns, not about direct reasons that can be multiple and various. The main center that needs to be healed is the Heart. Adultery means some deeper trauma or problem in heart from childhood which is:

-         desire/ need of being loved by others (not connection with self-love)

-         fear of being left alone from someone important;

-         fear to lose safety, security or something important to you;

-         fear to lose someone who supports you (in any way, not only loves you)

-         Fear of being alone or admit your truth feelings to yourself

-         Need to prove that you are loved, or you are socially accepted; need to prove you are loved with your mistakes and differences

   Have in mind that in all psychological patterns of transgressions there is a positive side, which all people are seeking to find. When the criminal doesn’t find a path to this positive side, he slides down to the “easier” trap of the crime or committing sin. That’s how he can come in a vicious circle” and move again to the same direction many times. We can see its truth, if you commit one crime or sin, it can be easily followed by another from the same kind. If you say lie, it will lead to more lies. If you once jump through the red line and commit any transgression, this will open the door in your mind to do it again.

 People who transgress don’t accept themselves as “criminals”. If you think the one who murders his wife, when she commits adultery, is criminal, what you think about person who lies or hides the truth? Or person who is hypocritical? Or person who is greedy or suffer from gluttony? Are they the same? The confusion comes exactly from that – in societies now all these actions and transgressions are not labeled as “crimes”. Lie is sin from moral, spiritual point of view. But acc to society, and in some religions, there are many cases in which lie can be approved. That’s how things become more complicated. Also lie, as well as “adultery”, gluttony, greed, is not a “crime”. That means it` s not punishable by the law. If this lie is connected with some other kind of prohibitions or social institutions, then it will be punishable. (for example counterfeiting documents, or adultery with under-age individuals).

Psychological patterns of transgression -II (murder, offensive behavior)

     I.                  Transgression of murder ~

     Lets start with one of the hardest crimes, that is prohibited from any religion. Taking the life of another. By universal truth we are all divine sparkles from light of God. We are not just one family –that of earth and humanity, but we are One. That one doesn’t mean we have “one soul”, but it means collective consciousness in different spices (also animals) exists. That’s why the first thing to note is, by killing anyone, person in reality kills his own Self. I wont discuss here what kind of karma he gathers then, but obviously he creates karmic experience. This act of strong transgression not always comes with full awareness – even on the surface or hidden motives. Many times the person who commits murder, doesn’t understand well what he is doing (going to do). Many times he looks like understanding, but he is in “escape state of mind”. That means he is living in another Self-reality, where he looks the world around in very different way from others. This self-reality is valid though for every human, but in case of transgression, the Self-reality become strongly divided, wide, and absorbs all kind of feelings. That means for the moment of transgression the person makes “frozen” his own mind and his reality, in order to succeed in his crime. The freezing makes him see things in way of dream or “movie”. Not all kind of transgression has this effect, but this is happening really in mind and sub-conscious levels in criminal. Transgression of murder is result from gradual and constant regression and negative state of Heart (with Third eye –mind). The person is in:

1.   need of “loving others” or knowing, experiencing love feeling to others;

2.     He has wounded or closed Heart in childhood, he was deprived from love in his childhood, or he lost someone he loved when he was little or young

3.     He fears others: fear of understanding, accepting others, accepting and tolerating differences in others (all humans), fear that someone will take away what belongs to him;

                                                                                                

The need of “loving others”, or to return the existing (but now death) Love within his heart and conscious life, comes in strong conflict with the wounded childhood and with fear from accepting or loving others. This conflict crystallizes in gradual heart and spiritual regression, and being able to commit transgression. When connection to Inner child is lost, many things are possible. Killing someone is not always connected with feelings of aggression, rage, but always is linked with wounded Heart. In reality people who commit such crime, can be very sensitive souls, who just need to open their heart. The problem in this state of “mind escape” is, no one from outside could help the closed heart of criminal. He should do that by himself, from inside. That’s why you cant “awake” the criminal, who is already with the blinded mind and idea of killing (or terrorist attacks). He is like ticking bomb himself, and he is in state of “escape” from reality. His heart in this moment is closed and escaped from any positive feelings, that may occur accidentally. He lost connection with him Self, if you gave him mirror in this moment, he wouldn’t recognize himself.

II.                 Transgression of aggressive behavior, arrogance, offensive behavior

This is transgression that cant be marked as a crime, even so many people feel the negative result of such behavior. The problem in aggressive behavior is that it has many different shades and levels, so it can be felt, but not recognized as such from everyone. Aggressive and offensive behavior can lead to crimes and to gradual regression of the soul of someone. In other cases such behavior in appropriate situation can provoke murder or other crimes (abuse, torture). The wounded core of such behavior is Solar Plexus chakra, in addition to Heart. In deeper level, what provokes such behavior and negative feelings?

1.     The person is in need of gaining power over others. He needs to control others. In the same time –

2.     He fears from others taking control over his life. He can also fear any accident or any change in his life (or mind). He hardly accepts any differences in thinking.

3.     He is afraid to lose his illusionary power/ control over others.

4.     He is afraid to lose his illusionary (or obscure) Self-confidence (what he call self-confidence is something totally different in fact)

5.   Person is afraid of inner change (in level of Heart), to become “awaken” and spiritual.

    All this psychological pattern of person creates conflict, which crystallizes in aggressive behavior. (Remember that any conflict can be removed with positive ways of escape, or with negative escapes – such as crimes or transgressions). This person has destruction of soul and wounded self-trust, reflecting in Solar plexus and digestive system; often such people suffer from obesity or stomach problems. Person with negative escape in “aggression, arrogance, offence” can be very quickly also connected with transgression of “gluttony and greed”.

Psychological patterns of Transgression -I

This article is dedicated to explain the psychological motives, attitudes and models in mind of people who transgress (commit any kind of crime or behave out of norms). I hope my view to bring different perspective to the known process of psychological motives and throw more light to the process of transgression and its deeper reasons.

     First of all I want to answer the question what is “transgression” and what we think is action to “transgress”. Transgression as it shows the word, is act of crossing the red line, going in the territory of something forbidden and prohibited. Transgressor is crossing the line of taboo, social or ethical norm, his action has usually moral outlines, and it`s viewed as a crime or inappropriate for society. Transgression is always connected with something “over”, above the accepted social and human lows (norms, ethics). The topic of crimes and followed punishments is very sensitive in all eras in societies since the beginning of human lows and social organizations. Here I want to through light on some deeper psychological patterns, that may answer the question “why” ( why Transgressors perform this behavior of crossing the “line” or normality) Is actually this behavior “malice” and what motive stay behind the scene?

     Part of transgression are all ten and more commandments of God (existing in any religion). They are put to organize and validate the moral values and basic lows of society. They are simple, yet powerful rules, that aim to bring peace to all social groups. These are commandments: do not kill, to not commit adultery, steal, lie (in witnessing); while some of them are related obviously to “actions”, others are related to moral values and types of behavior (for example egoistic, rude, aggressive behavior).

What we can say about these transgressions is that mostly they are connected with “sin”, or are result of negative/ imbalanced attitude in some spheres of life. Part of the psychological pattern of person who makes transgression is the point of “braking” the taboo. We have to realize clearly, that the transgressor is actually Aware of his action of malice (evil or unacceptable behavior). He is aware, but he is for some reasons not able to stop himself from doing this action. In pattern of any transgression we notice:

1.      Need to brake the taboo (this is like striving to have something forbidden, the more it is forbidden, the more person is attracted to it)

2.     Transgressions (sins) are ways of Running away from reality (or Self-reality that surrounds the person.

3.      Person who commits such action feels lost or fears to lose something;

4.   Transgressor has need of something. This need or desire is in sub-conscious level, so it`s likely he cant realize it.

      First we need to have in mind, that no person is born with his “transgression” or sin directly. Even if to commit any crime can be part of his karmic experience, anyone has choices and different paths to go. If he will use or not these choices will be up to him. Anyone, no matter how hard his karma could be, is given free choice about the direction he wants to go. So transgressor is not always “aware” of his crime before it happens. That is because of many deeper reasons, and because this patterns works on sub-conscious level longer time than we can expect.

    In order someone to become “criminal” he needs time to develop some experiences (negative) and to develop some ethics, values and behaviors from his own life and from life of surrounding people. That’s how the process of such psychological pattern is not one or two days, but many years. Any transgression needs “pre-history”, reason and consequences.

For example, person who commits murder or suicide, he is not aware since early age of what he is able to do. He has some social, family and friends experience, he has karmic relations and builds some values and principles in his mind. These factors and his childhood reflect directly on his future “negative” actions of transgression.

There is one special element here which is always positive – it’s Need or desire for something. As I ll show that with more details when I explain about each case of transgression.
