INTEGRAL WORLD MAILING LIST http://www.integralworld.net Newsletter Nr. 706 Amsterdam, April 5th, 2018 DONALD TRUMP'S PSYCHOPATHY - Salvador Harguindey In his essay “Wotan”, psychologist Carl Jung defined the personality of Adolf Hitler as “malignant narcissism”, adding that his election by a overwhelming majority was not by chance but secondary to the fact that he was the worst of the German people at the time.

In this posting I would like to look at the effect of this system on the character structure of the individual citizen and explore whether it may be a contributing cause of the so-called "self-contraction" (or tendency toward "self-grasping") described in the spiritual literature.
