Cassiopaea Cult

The Petty Tyrant Revealed

by Vincent Bridges

In episode seven of Adventures in Cassiopaean Reality, Laura’s illness has emerged full-blown for all to see. It was very gratifying to me that she would respond and prove her diagnosis in such a flamboyant way…

After six episodes, (and over 50,000 words!) Laura begins to shift her sights and turn on me. Big surprise she starts on that old tried and true petty tyrant routine. No matter what holes have been punched in the argument, no matter how ridiculous it appears to any rational observer, she has declared that I am a petty tyrant, and therefore she is justified in her assault on me, my work, my livelihood and so on.

Now, just stop a minute and think… This, all by itself, is powerful evidence of a serious mental disorder. It is called an obsessive delusion, not dissimilar to the idea that the newsman on the TV has spurned you and therefore you have God’s permission to stalk them…

But episode seven of As the Ouiji Spins, Redeaux is so rich in material that is hard to know where to begin. Just consider the opening:
“At this point in the narrative I want to report that we have had exactly three emails from readers who propose that the subject at hand is not something that they consider relevant to “spiritual pursuits,” and that obviously, we have lost our way here.

“Naturally, such remarks are designed to trigger the very programs in our minds that we are discussing, because they all affect our feelings of “self-importance.” As Don Juan said: “Self-importance is our greatest enemy. Think about it – what weakens us is feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of our fellow men. Our self-importance requires that we spend most of our lives offended by someone.”
“And being offended takes energy.

“One of the concepts that seems to be integral to the idea that Knowledge Protects, is that saving energy will enable us to “grow” and become more aware of higher levels of consciousness. It is this “growth” of awareness that binds us and makes us eligible to “graduate.” “It would be hard to imagine someone more self important than someone who has a multi-volume autobiography in the works, thinks she is channelling aliens in order to save the world, and that she understands how the world works better than anyone else, with no mistakes!

The three emails she received here must have been from outsiders, because the inner group would never say anything against the party line. How many strangers have written in and encouraged her? She doesn’t say, and we can be fairly sure that if she had any, she’d mention it.
And can anyone say they have ever seen anyone more constantly offended by everyone and everything than Laura? How many people now have been banned from their lists for asking the wrong question or outright curiosity or confusion? Hundreds?

So if being offended expends energy that should be hoarded for the glorious transition to 4th density, then I am afraid Laura is going to find her energy bank account as empty as her soul. No transition to 4th density, at least not as an STO…

But, Laura is now clearly an STS oriented entity. The proof, in her own words: “Saving energy will enable us to ‘grow’ and become more aware of higher levels of consciousness. It is this “growth” of awareness that binds us and makes us eligible to ‘graduate.’ ”

Binding energy, by any means necessary, in order to grow into 4D is the basic STS tactic. Being constantly offended, hurt and angry does more than just feed the astral critters. If done consciously and with malice, it creates the dark energy that a real STS evil being uses to control the underworld, the world of Shells and demons. This is the graduation implied here…

Want more proof? OK, try this:
“Recently, I received an email from a friend. In this email, he told me some really ugly things about an individual he recently realized was a “psychic vampire” in his own life. He described a meeting where he and this individual were having a discussion with two other men, one of them a writer and film producer, and expert on “sacred geometry” and mysticism in general. My friend described how this well-known man excused himself about ten or so minutes into the discussion, and left. A few days later, he called my friend and told him that there was something VERY wrong with the “psychic vampire” and that he would not be willing to work with my friend in any way as long as he was interacting with this man.

“My friend said that the only reason he disregarded this warning was because “I am a man of my word. I had made a promise.”
“He then ended up spending several years being manipulated, drained of energy, drained of cash, suffering losses to his reputation, and finally being stabbed in the back by the psychic vampire.

“In short, he had warning. Not just his own instincts, because he confessed that he was uneasy about this collaboration, but another person clearly and plainly told him “I can’t associate with you as long as you associate with him.” And the guy who said this was obviously somebody who knew about energy and how it is drained, and how to spot such people and decline to interact.

“And that is what we need most desperately to learn.

“What was it the guy said: “I am a man of my word. I had made a promise.”

“Well, guess what? This is another program. And we begin to get a niggling suspicion that this was the real reason that Jesus taught that a person ought not to swear about anything; because new information can, at any moment, change the perspective, the reality, and our lives. And we ought to always be free to change our direction at any moment, the same way the pilot of a ship makes constant corrections in the heading based on the different external influences such as the wind and sea currents, etc. ”

Since I happen to know the true story here, I am of course the “psychic vampire” in this version I can see how Laura has twisted the truth to her own ends. But, rather than get into the number of deliberate lies and distortions woven into this story, let us focus on the simple fact that Laura uses it at all, and the way she uses it.

She doesn’t say how terrible for you, or even that’s too bad… No, Laura’s point is that honesty is the last policy, that no good turn goes unpunished. Don’t make commitments because a better deal might come along, and never give your word, you might have to break it.

Only STS acts in this manner. CAN’T ANYONE ELSE SEE THIS!

Want even more? Let’s make this very clear, in her own words and on her own terms:
“And wishful thinking is the essence of Service to Self.

At the time that many of the attacks were going on, we did not write about them, we did not share them, we tried to keep them private for the sake of giving more chances for the others involved to do something else that would heal the breach.”
This is a flat out lie. As can be seen by looking at Laura’s own words in the “systematic harassment” post, she did this as publicly as she could, on the website.

“We were always expecting them to just wake up and see that we are not their adversary, that we do not want to interfere in their lives, that we simply and only want to live our lives in the best way we know how; to have the right to our own choices, even if those choices include NOT associating with them in any way.”

If all you want to do is make a break from someone, then what’s the rationalization behind attacking that person in public and refusing any attempt at settling or actually getting loose from the mess? I have always said, take all mention of my name down from the website and I will gladly never mention your names again, anywhere. That still stands…

“We wanted them to understand that we had realized that our mutual energies were obviously not in sync, so let’s have a parting of the ways. At each stage of the process, we have waited and hoped that this realization would arise in their minds. But it seems that such things never occur to people who are filled with their own self-importance.”

How exactly is defending yourself from the most scurrilous attacks imaginable a symptom of self-importance. Self-preservation, yes, but the feeling of entitlement that allows one to attempt to destroy another person’s reputation, etc. can definitely be considered a form of self-importance. To such people, full of their own self-importance, considering that they might be wrong or at fault is impossible.

“Such individuals become furious when their self-importance is provoked. They talk themselves into a state of righteous indignation that anyone would dare to refuse to associate with them; that anyone would dare to assert the right to their own space, be it real or virtual; that anyone would dare to make them look like a fool.

And then they go out and make themselves look like fools.”

I could not have described Laura’s behaviour over this whole fiasco any better than she has above. HER self-importance challenged, she went into a rage of righteous indignation over how dare anyone make her look like a fool. And then she goes out and time after time for the last seven months, actually proved what a STS fool she has really become…

“And here we come to the primary issue: When we identify the fact that our energy fields are not “compatible,” or that there is a drain, we have the right to choose to disassociate ourselves. We have not only the right, but if we are truly seeking higher knowledge, it is a necessity.”
I completely agree this. But this does not give anyone the right to treat that person as an object or an enemy…

“According to Don Juan, recapitulation is an exercise to recall, review, release, and recharge energy. And so it is, what we are about to recount is a series of encounters with what Don Juan called “Petty Tyrants.” But, before we do, I would like to present to the reader who may never have read the chapter in Castaneda’s The Fire From Within that is devoted to the subject. It is a delightful, hilarious account of deep and important principles of awareness and energy conservation. Everytime I read it I laugh with glee to see the very situation we are dealing with here so humorously depicted, petty tyrants who attempt to annoy us to distraction.”

OK, need I say more? Here she is laughing every time she reads how she has twisted and distorted the petty tyrant story for her own amusement and the purpose of supplying a justification for her vicious attacks on me. That she considers this to be justification is just one more symptom of her deep and on-going mental illness.

Was I ever a petty tyrant? No, it is obvious to anyone who the real petty tyrant has always been…
