The Stunning beauty of Manipulation...The mind map......It's all about intent...

in blurtnews •  last year 

The term 'manipulation' has a very, undeservedly, bad reputation.

It's as though manipulation itself is somehow an inherently bad thing.

Let's set the record straight, shall we?

Manipulation is NOT a bad quality.
It can be a VERY GOOD quality, to have.

Everyone manipulates others - starting from the time infants when they are a few hours old, and using the screaming technique as a way to demand a nipple from their mum - all the way up to adults in governments who run psi-ops to try and control vast populations.

The 'government' isn't some inorganic decision maker.
The decisions come from people.
From people who wish to manipulate.

Manipulation is an intrinsic part of being human.

So why does it have such a bad reputation ?

In my opinion, the negative connotations it receives (the image it tends to invoke) is a manipulation all in itself !

A strategy from malevolent manipulators, to cast ALL manipulation as being inherently bad ?

It makes sense, does it not?

...What better way to defend yourself against such an accusation, than to the make the entire premise of the word, a negative one for everyone ?
That way, the 'good' manipulators are then lumped into in same camp as the 'bad' ones.

A linguistic manipulation that tries to prevent the wheat from the chaff from being separated and identified as being different...

'Good' and 'bad' manipulation .

The example above of the baby wanting the nipple, is NOT an example of 'good' manipulation.
The government psi-op example IS a case of 'bad' manipulation.
(power and control, irrelevant of the consequences of those it affects).

The 'baby example' is an example of unconscious manipulation (instinct).

So what is 'good' manipulation ?

1/ Self awareness + Benevolent intent.

Ask any parent.
They're an excellent case.
“If you don't eat your vegetables, you can't have any cake”, kind of thing.

The manipulation - which is what it it is ( 'carrot and stick' dynamic ) - comes from a place of caring.
Of positive intent, and wanting for only the best outcome for another.

The list goes on and on of such kind of good manipulations – and these are not seen as negative.

That's because they're not.

Love is not controlling, envious or power hungry - although toxic manipulators are more than happy to cloak their underlying ambitions in words of warm affection, being inclusive, or diverse, '...

And not all toxic manipulation is conscious - in fact, much of it is not.

And thus, we're back to knowing yourself. Self awareness.

Top tip:
... for spotting those acting from a controlling manipulation dynamic - consciously or otherwise.:
See the reactions to simple questions that if answered simply, would threaten to 'rip their mask off'.
Avoidance, misdirection, ad hominens, etc...

It's not difficult to spot once you're fully aware of the way it always plays out.
(depending on the intelligence and self awareness* of the toxic manipulator, this process can take varying amounts of time – but the end result is always the same if the issues are pressed).

*High self awareness and also toxic manipulations to gain power/influence/control, is entering into the malignant narcissist/sociopath/psychopath, territory.

So it's not really about manipulation, per se - at all.

If you were being cynical about it, you might sat that there were some linguistic manipulators trying to distract you from the core issue....
There is good reason to cynical.
….it's origins lie in sophistry.

.....it's been applied in modern times by marxist literature in the late 19th century, and then the postmodernist movement in France in the 1950's (marxism in drag).
And from that, spreading throughout the west into all institutions, over the last 60 years.

If you think that's too far far fetched – here's a bit of tangent, but highlights the power of linguistics.
Think about the term 'capitalism'
Marx came up with the word and now the whole of society uses it to frame the entirety of 'free markets, free association, and free expression, and hierarchical oppression ' – as being 'capitalism'...

Ever get the feeling that you've been cheated/duped/misled....er...er...linguistically manipulated?

Anyways..Moving on...

If it's NOT about manipulation, (a toxic manipulators distraction to technique to muddy the waters)...then what is it really about ?

You can manipulate until yours hearts content if comes from a place on good intent.
A place of love.
There can be no toxicity in love, by definition.

Only YOU can know the intent behind your actions.

So the far more important part of this equation becomes all about working out the intent of others.

What is bad intent ?

That's a philosophical question that raises the issues of ethics and morals.

Here's my loose definition...(adult to adult, in context of this post).

Manipulation with bad intent – wanting a positive outcome for yourself first, whatever it takes, and the rest is details.

As opposed to:

Manipulation with good intent – wanting a positive outcome for all concerned – in which coercion, control, or power - has no place.

You can have good intent without any self awareness – but that is a dangerous game.

....as it also means you can never really know that for sure.
What you think is 'good' may well be 'bad' (and vice versa, btw).

The point being, that without you first being consciously aware of who YOU are, you cannot manipulate others in the safe knowledge that your manipulations are with a genuine good intent (it could be either).

Manipulation with bad intent – adult to adult..(selfish desires first and foremost)

Control.
Adult to adult – free consent is everything.
Anything less is a case of 'bad' manipulation.

Consent is freely given – and must be without any specter of there being negative consequences if it is not given...

The Conflict.

People who ARE self aware and who know they are acting in good faith (even if misguided or incorrect), will meet people with 'bad intent' who wish to control others by force/coercion/bribery....(consciously or otherwise).
You have case of 'the wheat and chaff' no longer mingling together.
Oil and water.

The two states of being are not compatible, and it will always entail friction.

Bad manipulators wish to dominate.

Good manipulators wish to see positive outcomes for all.

The bad manipulators have no ethical code
(but will happily use them as a weapon if it can serve their interests).

Good manipulators have ethical codes inbuilt as part of their fundamental internal structure.

There are many 'not so bright' (but very good hearted) people – with only good intent.

They individuals are very easy targets for the more intelligent, but bad manipulator, to lead astray.
The useful idiot.

There's a blurt witness that I see as being very much in that 'good person, but not so bright' category...And there's at least one witness in 'the other' category.

“The manipulator and useful idiot” …..the stereotypical 'tragic comedy'.
(one that Shakespeare was ever so eloquent at describing).

It runs through ALL power dynamics in society.

I KNOW my intent.
I'm self aware (to some degree at least ! Lol).

Bad actors also know my intent.

That's why you see such a visceral response to me pursuing truths.
Bad actors are found out - unmasked - when the truth is no longer hidden and in plain sight for everyone to see.

They know - feel - this to be the case - even it's its on a subconscious level.

From my observations covering a time spanning over many, many, years - toxic manipulators are full of repressed negative emotions - and they let their shame, guilt, and lack of self respect*, to dominate their psyches.

*not to be confused with the narcissistic new agers, ' self love'.

They allow their demons 'to run the show'.

Rather than go through the painful fires of becoming self aware and recognizing all of who you are – the angels and the demons – they would prefer to take the cowards way out.

They would prefer to manipulate and control others using lies, force, coercion, and bribes.

Very fucking ugly.

The tragically funny thing, is this:

….that the distance between being a beautiful human being or a grotesque parody of one - a two dimensional version, who's just going the through motions of being an actual human being – is less than the thickness of a piece of paper.

...Yet this distance looks like a 'grand canyon sized chasm', to the cowardly orc.

Yet the world is perpetually sunny on my side of this tiny, wafer thin divide (or wide chasm)...

Are you feeling brave?
Do you want to live on the sunny side of the street ?
Let me give you a helping hand - it's always available and outstretched for those with a spine.

I can manipulate you, and help cross the chasm you see – but only if you wish it to be so...
….And to all the ugly orcs that are happy living in their self imposed hell, and have ZERO desire to ever be beautiful...

smaller version small gif.gif

….I'll keep manipulating you until your masks are ripped off - so that all the world can see what you really are.

The beautiful people are – and will always be - far more intelligent than any orc.

They love life, love the truth, love people...
They live on a higher frequency of being....
(it's no wonder the new age narcissists use this toxic manipulation technique so much, now is it?).

Hate, and fear, and the overwhelming desire to control others – is the way of the orc .

I guess it must really suck to live in that world, and having no courage to leave it behind.
It's no wonder really that hatred and putrid malevolence is perpetually directed at the beautiful souls.

….it must be excruciatingly painful for the soulless orc to always be able to see the beautiful people - and be too scared to ever have the courage to cross such a tiny divide (or massive chasm)...

well in my opinion there is no such thing as good manipulation because no one is god. And because no one is a god, even if you believe that what you are doing is good, you never know if it can be so.

Example with vegetables; perhaps it is the fact that you press your child to eat them that will alienate him and switch to a McDonald's diet in adulthood, which will lead to premature death or health problems.

due to the fact that there is bad manipulation, it is difficult to be a "good" manipulator because we never know whether we ourselves have not fallen victim to manipulation in this matter to which we want to manipulate them for the "good of people".

A good example was the past plandemic and hosts of people crosses blindly trusting that they are doing good, chased in masks and oppressed those who do not want to be vaccinated.

However, manipulation is there and we cannot avoid it. Moreover, it is sometimes needed by some people. But only highly aware people can reach for it without the risk of harming others. It is part of human nature and denying it is worse than knowingly manipulating it for someone's "good".
