Narcissists Think They Are The Center of the Universe.

The Enlightened Know It.

In order to understand business and politics, and fight their corruption, we have to get a firm grip on one fact: the people running business and government are Psychopaths and Psychopathologically Sick Narcissists. We need to understand these most pernicious brands of insanity and face the fact that we are going to have to learn how to treat them, or control them, if we are ever to live in a world fit for Human habitation.

The best way to deal with Pathological Narcissism is to understand that it is the morally lower end expression of a very deep truth that all of us are aware of, to one extent or another, depending upon our moral-spiritual development.

It is not pathological to know that You *are* the Universe, and everything in it - provided that you realize, internalize and generously celebrate the fact that this is true of everyone else as well.

This thought may seem paradoxical. But it is the achievement of an enlightened mind and the apotheosis of what F. Scott Fitzgerald meant when he said: "The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function."

At 2:50 into the video, I was thinking about such studies as Lewis Terman's "Termites".
