There’s a difference between a Sick Soul and a Sick Mind.

There’s a difference between a Sick Soul and a Sick Mind.

A person with a sick soul can function just fine in day to day activities. One with a sick mind can not. A lot of those suffering from mild forms of mental disorders can live alone or even hold a job. Today, the two have become interwoven as being the same when they are not. They are vastly different.

Unfortunately, too many so-called professionals do not know the difference and called all of it a mental disorder when all of it is not a mental disorder. Some what’s labelled a mental disorder is actually a sickness of the soul.

Sickness of the soul and heart can not be treated by conventional medicines. It take the person willingness to change their ways and belief in order to lead a different life. If not, then there’s nothing no one can say or do to change them, because there’s nothing wrong with them physically, or in a mental sense as the world describe a mental sense.

Sickness of the soul is something a person chooses to let into their existence. It’s a choice.

Sickness of the mind is not a choice. Illness of the mind is usually caused by chemical imbalance of the brain or an incident so traumatizing it altered the brain’s chemical or the person’ s perception of life and reality.

Below are traits of one suffering from sickness of the soul:

Gangstalking-Is when two or more people stalks an individual with intent to cause great harm.

Machiavellianism is the willingness to use deception and manipulation to achieve your goals without regard to the harms they may cause on others. These people frequently use ends justify the means type reasoning.

Narcissism is the overwhelming concern for one’s own self, needs, and well-being without acknowledging the needs of others or understanding that they exist.

Sadism is the enjoyment of pain in others this can be physical or psychological pain, it can be large amounts of pain or minor discomforts that people feel.

Schadenfreude-is the pleasure that we feel when we see others suffer. It manifests itself when we feel envy, aggression or believe that the misfortune was somehow deserved.

Lack of Empathy and Compassion– are people who can watch terrible suffering and not feel an ounce of sympathy. Most with this deprivation of emotions are capable of racism, sexism, deep prejudice, and discrimination and even murder.

Narcissism-Personality qualities include thinking very highly of oneself, needing admiration, believing others are inferior, and lacking empathy for others.

What is a sociopath vs psychopath-Psychopaths tend to be more manipulative, can be seen by others as more charming, lead a semblance of a normal life, and minimize risk in criminal activities. Sociopaths tend to be more erratic, rage-prone, and unable to lead as much of a normal life.

Gaslighting-Gaslighting is a colloquialism, loosely defined as making someone question their own reality. The end goal of gaslighting is for the gaslighter to gain control over a person’s thoughts, feelings, and action.

Sickness of The Mind-

Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder in which people interpret reality abnormally. Schizophrenia may result in some combination of hallucinations, delusions, and extremely disordered thinking and behavior that impairs daily functioning, and can be disabling. People with schizophrenia require lifelong treatment.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that’s triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event.

Phobias-A phobia is an overwhelming and debilitating fear of an object, place, situation insects, feeling or animal. Phobias are more pronounced as fears. They develop when a person has an exaggerated or may seemly unrealistic sense of danger about a situation or object.

Dissociative identity disorder
Also called: DID, multiple personality disorder-A disorder characterized by the presence of two or more distinct personality states.
Dissociative identity disorder, previously called multiple personality disorder, is usually a reaction to trauma as a way to help a person avoid bad memories.
Dissociative identity disorder is characterized by the presence of two or more distinct personality identities. Each may have a unique name, personal history, and characteristics.

These are just a few mental disorders.

The "Book of Enoch" influenced the usage of Azazael as a main character and love interest. I created the primary main character from the Chronicle of Saints.

So I created one of my own to show her as a real human that everyone can relate to.

  1. Oh my goodness Alma, what a powerful way to decipher the confusion between the two. One is internal and the other is external. I do notice in some cases though, that sickness of the soul can greatly impact sickness of the mind. I just had a similar conversation about this with a friend of mine. It seems like digging deeper and getting to the bottom of these disorders that can affect so many, is something far too many so-called professionals skirt around. Clumping all of these conditions in one comfortable pile seems to be the solution. Sad. Thank you for bringing such a sensitive subject to light my friend. 🥰💖😊🙏🏼😘

    The so-called difference has long been debated. It’s of no real significance. What IS is this…

    By FAR the most vital urgent and DEEP understanding everyone needs to gain is that a mafia network of manipulating PSYCHOPATHS are governing big businesses (eg official medicine), nations and the world — the evidence is OVERWHELMING and TOTALLY IRREFUTABLE (see “The 2 Married Pink Elephants In The Historical Room”… https://www.rolf-hefti.com/covid-19-coronavirus.html ).

    Isn’t it about time for anyone to wake up to the ULTIMATE DEPTH of the rabbit hole — rather than remain blissfully willfully ignorant and play victim like a little child?

    And psychopaths are typically NOT how Hollywood propaganda movies have showcased them. And therefore one better RE-learns what a psychopath REALLY is (see cited source above).

    But rulership by psychopaths is only ONE part of the equation that makes up the destructive human condition as the article explains (see cited source above).

    • Hi, thank you for visiting. I’m happy you dropped by. I must say if you ever met someone capable of these things and saw the uncaring damage they cause, you wouldn’t say “The so-called difference has long been debated. It’s of no real significance,” these people do irreparable damage without blinking an eye. There could be no debate over the actions of these criminals vs someone suffering a genuine mental illness. Those of criminal elements are not the same as a mentally ill person.

      I agree, many of them are backed by world governments, but not all of them. Some of these individuals create their own network of flying monkeys to work for them.

      You are right, a real psychopath is nothing like how Hollywood portrays them. A real psychopath is much worse than how Hollywood portrays them. No, they don’t act like raving lunatics. If they did people would know to stay away from them.

      First of all, all psychpaths can be charming; that’s how they allure people into their lives.

      Anyone found to be exhibiting the trait listed below are capable of murder and have no regrets. Below are traits of one suffering from sickness of the soul:

      I’m repeating the article because there is a difference and the difference make a big deal. People suffering genuine mental issues couldn’t be lumped together with these criminals.

    The mental health care profession knows the difference between the two; they say this to protect rich clients. They will say the sickness of the soul is a medical condition to protect the rich when their deeds catch up with them.

    I supposed the evil man who cut off his pregnant girlfriend’s head deserve a mental evaluation. There are too many women and children losing their lives and people are making excuses for these pieces of crap. I read he heard voices. If that’s the case then why did he hide her head?

    I’m not defending criminals or badly behaving people, but I can see see where the confusion may come in, the two are so closely related it’s difficult to distinct them.

    I can see see where the confusion may come in, the two are so closely related it’s difficult to distinguish them. But you’re right. One can tell the differences. Like the man down on the track holding up the train in New York City the other day was insane. Not evil or diabolical. An unsettled man climbed onto the tracks at the Washington Square Park subway stop — delaying trains for about an hour as emergency responders convinced him to climb back up, according to cops and witnesses. But the people you’re talking about are nothing like him.

    • Yes, I read about the man with no sense of regard for his life. I don’t know what made him this way but I hope he get the help he needs. No, I’m not talking about people like him.
