How to deal with the insane |
Friday – December 19, 2025

In modern times one of the most dangerous people you will encounter in the material domain are the insane or mentally ill people, because these people have completely assumed the beastly form; they, the insane, are inhabiting an alternate reality and have effectively embraced the level of the animal. These people are more dangerous than anyone else because you have no way of predicting the next move and the next action that one of these people will take: often the most violent criminals suffer from mental illness, often some kind of psychosis. What can prompt a man to seemingly randomly, out of the blue, attack with great vengeance another complete stranger, often with a knife? Only a man that is completely possessed, completely controlled by demons has the ability to truly act in this way, and even if a man of some sanity would attempt to pretend to be insane he would fail. A person that enter this altered and diseased state is often in a terminal phase and does not have much time on this Earth left, and as such they attempt to nurture their vital essence through the cannibalization of reality and the material domain itself, these people are truly evil in human form, but they are also irrational for the beast in his terminal phase is not capable of reason, he is only capable of being a complete monster. Do not fear these people, because yes they know not of what they are doing: the mentally ill, the insane, have lost all autonomy and therefore the right to be considered human, and they are now governed in their last journey towards the abyss by the serpent. I want to add that yes, there are people who have managed to come out of or escape from this terminal phase, but they are very few. I also want to add that all people are heading in this direction, at least all people who refuse to heed the warnings, because there are many signs of our times, the Kali Yuga.

    Apart from the insane, any society under the material order has a certain element of criminality, but these people are simply morally depraved, and completely lack a conscience, but the criminal element of society is still, generally, capable of reason and they can therefore be considered a very advanced form of the beast, but not complete monsters, not yet. I also believe, something that I intend to cover in greater detail at another time, that any society ruled by the material order needs to have a certain element of criminality present, this is order to instill a sense of justice and basic decency within the body of that society, really in order to always motivate men to balance the scales of the celestial order. Yes, criminals can be considered, in this sense, a form of cosmic agents sent down to the Earth to remind men of their own futility and really that reality does not and will not bend to man's will.

    In most cases where an assailant has randomly murdered innocent people you can assume that the he was mentally ill, and that they inhabited an alternate reality, and this is why the ability to profile and assess your immediate environment is of great importance, something I briefly covered the other day, because these people will hurt you unless you are able to detect them. Another thing about the insane is that they often tend to grow extra human strength, and this may be construed to be from their covenant with the dark side, with Satan. This means that if you need to ever defend yourself against the insane you really need to be prepared because they will be strong and if you lack skills, they will take you down. I want to again add that I do not advocate violence, unless you are attempting to defend yourself, your family, or your community. This means that you should not engage anyone, including the insane without proper justification. I believe that again martial arts is the best way of defending yourself against these people, even if they have a knife, because the insane often carry melee weapons; they are, the insane, less likely to carry firearms. Indeed, most cases of violence in which these people have been involved is when someone has been murdered or assaulted by a knife or some other melee weapon. Of course, when it comes to learning the basics of martial arts you need to consult with a master, and I believe in true Taoist fashion that the teacher, the master, will appear once you, the student, is ready. Really what you should always aim for is to neutralize any and all threats, and in extreme situations this may include violence, but more often that not you can neutralize a threat by simply removing yourself from that threat, especially if you have determined that someone is insane, criminal, or suspect.

    Political correctness has ordained that my views are evil and forbidden. So, for the purposes of not breaking any laws within the material domain, allow me to refine my definition of human: by human I am referring not to the material and physical qualities that make up humans, but the metaphysical qualities that make up humans. When I claim that someone isn't human, I am simply referring to the fact that these people have completely left humanity behind in a profoundly metaphysical sense. I am however, in no way attempting to claim that these people, in this case the insane, should face different rights or treatments in the material domain, and quite frankly I do not concern myself with the material domain; I am simply referring here to the metaphysical aspects of humanity.

    To conclude: mentally ill people are more dangerous than anyone else in the material domain, because they are unpredictable and unable to reason. This means that you need to always be aware of this certain and growing element of society, because more likely than not they will hurt you, unless you are aware. I believe that the best thing to do if you end up in a physical altercation is to simply defend yourself using martial arts, or better remove yourself from that situation before violence becomes the only option, always take the pacific route when you are in the world.
