interact on a daily basis. Many dazzling or charismatic characters have great influence over
others, ourselves sometimes included. Yet, despite their dynamic personalities, most of
them are lit up superficially, having no inner light of their own.BEWARE! A. Being insecure, yet proud, they will talk badly about other people, trying to get you to agree. They recount stories of personal success, but are stingy with praise for others. B. Most of their waking hours are consumed with schemes for making money with the least amount of effort. C. They have few, if any, real friends. These people are afraid to get close to anyone they can't completely control, for fear their deceptive nature will be uncovered. It may seem they are offering friendship and help, but it is only a mirage, acted out to gain one's confidence. Does confidence/con-man ring a bell? D. They are excellent self-promoters, and have an exaggerated sense of their place in the eternal plan . . . delusions of Grandeur . . . and believe their calling is above that of others. E. Except for sarcastic wit and put-down jokes, they lack a sense of humor, and almost never laugh at themselves. F. They concentrate great energy on presenting an image of competence. Everything is done for show and the admiration of others. Their homes feel cold and empty, even when decorated with expensive art and creative furnishings. G. They lack the "nurturing instinct." Most of the care they provide derives from a sense of responsibility imposed by society's expectations. H. They often live through their children, trying to mold them in their image and disregarding the child's individuality. I. Their most miserable moments are when they are low on cash and their happiest are those spent with newly acquired possessions or money itself. J. They have a knack for borrowing money or getting people to give them something valuable for a small down-payment and big promises. K. They cannot brook criticism, even constructive, and their authority must never be questioned. L. Not always, but more often than not, they are fitness oriented, as they need to maintain their image. This interest in appearing fit usually has little to do with good health. This emphasis on outward appearance may include such health destroying practices as fad diets, over-consumption of alcohol instead of food, strict starvation diets, and often bulimia. M. They love to talk, but only listen to find personal weaknesses or flaws in those with whom they converse, which can be used to their advantage at some future time, i.e., blackmail. N. They love to draw up and sign agreement contracts as a way to help "protect" you. O. Believing themselves above the law, they circumvent as many regulations as possible to cut operating costs. P. They lie, or tell half-truths, and evade direct questions. Q. They underpay their workers, employ illegal aliens, keep employees on part-time status to avoid tax and insurance costs, and lie on their tax returns. R. They "lure" people into money making schemes and partnerships to separate them from their money, and are adept at discarding folks who are no longer useful to them or have been sucked dry. S. They use relatives and friends to do work they would otherwise have to pay professionals for. T. They are cold, calculating, litigious, and rarely accept responsibility for failure. They act from their mindless ambition, seldom from their heart. U. Spouses and children are controlled financially as well as emotionally. Their work and business are always more important than family time. Money is their first priority. V. They are expert at blaming and putting others down to make themselves look good. W. They are filled with fear, instead of light, and are overly concerned about security arrangements, their own well being, and naturally, their own eventual death. X. If they own pets, they are usually expensive "show pieces," pedigreed animals, even wolf hybrids, a sad mix if ever there was one. Such animals often suffer emotional neglect, becoming either lonely, depressed, or vicious guard dogs. Y. You can never trust them completely. They wear you out, mentally and emotionally with plans, schemes, gossip, and inside information. Z. You can't relax around them as they are never truly happy or relaxed themselves, and always have a new "trick" or moneymaking project up their sleeves. |
