DWQA QuestionsCategory: Limiting BeliefsCreator has shared that the journey back to divine alignment for a psychopath, is the most difficult undertaking imaginable. Yet, some have managed to do this. Can Creator share a brief synopsis of a success story? And what in particular constituted the true turning point moment? Did that being reach rock bottom in some way? Was a divine outreach of some kind required? And if this being had rejected earlier outreaches, what made the successful outreach possible where the others failed?

There are many examples of people who are functioning like a psychopath, or virtually being a psychopath, changing for the better. In most cases, a psychopath will learn and come to understand and accept they cannot gain by acting in the way they have learned to do and will, intellectually, then override the baser impulses to not go to an extreme extent, such as killing those around them to take their things. They will learn the hard way the penalty is too great and may well be able to behave as a model citizen, even though they might have the impulse to do such things still, as well as not fully appreciating why they are not entitled to do it. They, in a sense, become conditioned to accept the constraints imposed by the legal system. That is but a modest improvement with respect to restoration of a connection to the divine, but functionally, can be quite significant in removing them as a source of danger. In most cases where greater gains have been made, it is by someone who falls short of being fully a psychopath but perhaps a quite serious degree of narcissism or a sociopath who still has a vestige of conscience within. That gives them a tool to work with because it can be strengthened through divine healing and allow them to regain their footing in terms of perceiving ethics as a significant consideration in how they live their lives and treat others around them. That will be nothing but an afterthought by someone in this distorted frame of mind and often not because of a pang of conscience about the suffering they will leave in their wake, but more an inner fear they might get caught and punished, but at least they can feel compassion for themselves and that is a beginning. The best examples we can give categorically, as we do not like to elevate names arbitrarily to put a spotlight on them, would be the many criminals who, given the constraint of imprisonment to show them in the harshest possible way their conduct and behavior choices are unacceptable, may find their way to faith and this creates an opening that can allow the divine light to come in and, via the higher self, send them offerings of insights about the various feelings they have from moment to moment, to help put a spotlight on the good and send a little reminder through a pang of conscience when they have a bad thought as a way to teach them, as though they are starting from scratch, about right and wrong. This may be the first time there is an opportunity for the person to get input that is objective because it is coming from the divine realm and not from arbitrary treatment of caregivers who might be quite dysfunctional themselves, or at best might be reasonably well-balanced but lack any deep insight about human behavior and how to cope with someone who is dysfunctional in their midst, and may throw up their hands and begin a pattern of neglect out of frustration and a growing dislike even for their own young when they are observed to be turning dark and might even become a threat to the parent and their safety. That does nothing to solve the problem, so there must be a human choice made from within with whatever slim link to reason is present, but that can start the ball rolling. If people want to change, they will be assisted by the divine realm—this you can be sure of. Even if they are not religious or spiritual and vocalizing an entreaty to God, there are others praying for them and that fuel can be used to bring in some enlightenment and it is enough to build on. So we are speaking of those criminals who show quite a turnaround, having lived a life of crime and exploitation of others as a predator, but might emerge from prison as a preacher and then continue in a life of service to others who are in prison, or wanting to escape from a vicious cycle of crime and punishment and need guidance, help with housing and finding work, and so on. The recovered criminals are some of the best advocates and support system for those in recovery, having lived that journey and appreciate its importance because it saved them. We can tell you that recovering from the extremes of conduct disorders will need divine assistance. It cannot be done through force of will or the entreaties of others, or even a therapeutic approach to support the person. Deeper levels of healing are needed to undo the effects of long-standing trauma, much of it from other lifetimes that set the scene and created the vulnerability for someone to truly go off the deep end finally, in the current life.
