Bestselling Psychologist Martha Stout, Ph.D. wrote the bestseller, The Sociopath Next Door. She regards sociopaths as those “without a conscience” – which is how it is presumed Creator would define it. She would likely characterize psychopaths as simply more overtly violent sociopaths. She described sociopaths as possessing “a noncorrectable disfigurement of character that is now thought to be present in about 4 percent of the population – that is to say, one in twenty-five people.” She writes of sociopaths: “Sociopaths have a greater than normal need for stimulation, which results in their frequent social, physical, financial, or legal risks. And sociopaths are noted especially for their shallowness of emotion, the hollow and transient nature of any affectionate feelings they may claim to have, a certain breathtaking callousness. They have no trace of empathy and no genuine interest in bonding emotionally with a mate. Once the surface charm is scraped off, their marriages are loveless, one-sided, and almost always short term.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Here again is a psychologist attempting to provide a rationale that is science-based for the vagaries of human behavior and feelings. There is always a desire to understand the mechanistic basis for impaired behavioral functioning and the repertoire a person is capable of expressing. But here again, it is not a question of certain neurochemicals being out of balance or a kind of learned response to adversity that goes askew in being perhaps too excessive, or the result of an oversensitivity of the person to challenges of life, but lacking a means to control an emotional response that might become destructive. They become quite limited because of the deficit in connection to the higher self so divine oversight will not be perceived. In a sense, the person lacks brakes to apply when there is any desire or emotion being felt. They lack the wherewithal to hold back, and this tends to result in an overreaction and a self-serving prioritization, always, that exaggerates personal needs at the expense of concern about others, and the hallmark of the sociopath is born. The need for stimulation, which is the conclusion of the psychologists, is a consequence of a normal need for life experience and desiring variety, change, things that make the person feel good, and there is always some unease as well because of the large void present within such a person. After all, humans were created and designed to be spiritual beings. When that is stunted through the impairment of disconnection from the higher realms, a person will never feel fulfilled but will always be searching for something missing, never really knowing what that might be. The disconnected state prevents the sociopath from seeing what is possible because they cannot relate to the idea of feeling pleasure in doing things for others, giving of the self, or simply bearing witness to someone having a joyous life experience of some kind because it will simply not resonate, as the sociopath lacks the ability to love to some degree, from mild to severe. So, living a love-deprived existence will automatically create a desire for more, and that restlessness and inner drive to feel and sense what can fill the void within, creates a motivation to seek it out. And lacking the brakes to stop an impulse, obey rules, take one's turn, consider the needs of others as well as one's own, and so forth, possessed by a normal, well-balanced person in reasonable divine alignment, at least in a basic sense, the sociopath will often engage in wretched excess, putting them in confrontations with people around them because of their excessive conduct and disregard for the feelings of others.
