BLOWING THE WHISTLE ON THE DANGEROUS CULT OF HYPERIANISM
• FROM THE CITIZEN JOURNALISTS OF THE AC •
11/17/2022
Aren’t you intrigued by the idea that most human beings aren’t conscious? (That was true in the bicameral era, so why not now too?) When we say this, we are using a very different definition of consciousness from what is routinely talked about. We mean that you cannot be considered conscious if you are in fact the agent of unconscious forces, and your “consciousness” – such as it is – is actually carrying out the instructions of entities of which it is not conscious. Consciousness, in these terms, is a front-end and agent of the unconscious, hence is actually part of the unconscious system rather than something to be contrasted with the unconscious. In these terms, consciousness does not compete with the unconscious for agency. Rather it collaborates with the unconscious, which is always the real source of agency.Another way of expressing this idea is in relation to System 1 and System 2 thinking. The Decision Lab says,
“System 1 thinking is a near-instantaneous process; it happens automatically, intuitively, and with little effort. It’s driven by instinct and our experiences. System 2 thinking is slower and requires more effort. It is conscious and logical. However, even when we think that we are being rational in our decisions, our System 1 beliefs and biases still drive many of our choices. Understanding the interplay of these two systems in our daily lives can help us become more aware of the bias in our decisions – and how we can avoid it.”
We are saying that all humans who habitually act in System 1 fashion are unconscious, and only those who can spend a lot of time in System 2 mode are actually conscious – because true consciousness simply is the activity of System 2 thinking. System 1 thinking is just glorified animalism, i.e., it’s animals equipped with language. System 1 people don’t think about what they are doing. They just do it. Which means they are obeying their unconscious instincts. System 2 people can inhabit a mind space radically different from mere instinctual response. The very fact that they are in that special space, a conceptual space, means that they have escaped from unconscious instinct and can exhibit real conscious agency.
The unconscious does not ponder. It acts. Only consciousness ponders. And then it acts. Consciousness resides in that deferred space.
Mike Baker said,
“If you have a weak gateway then the shadow can come and go as it pleases. If you have a strong gateway, the shadow can only come forth with the permission of the ego.” In our terms, System 1 allows any unconscious complex immediate access to our behavior. The Shadow, or anything else, requires no permission to enact its will. It’s just there, doing its stuff. System 2 shuts off the access of the unconscious because it creates a space where we are conscious of all the elements in our conceptual space and can reflect on them and make our own decisions based on them.
Corey Rebhahn, a pathological narcissist, has a False Self, which has drastic consequences. The False Self is itself entirely a product of unconscious forces, so when Rebhahn goes into System 2 thinking, this is actually a false System 2, entirely devoted to the maintenance of the False Self’s worldview, which is always a fantasy worldview disconnected from the reality principle (hence from any prospect of real consciousness, which must be connected to reality). Rebhahn, in his narcissistic grandiosity says, “Hyperians are world shapers and actively seek to improve their lives, the lives of those around them, and to unite the world.” This is pure fantasy, with no connection at all to reality. It’s not a conscious statement. It’s the statement of a grandiose narcissist with severe mental illness, upholding a view of the world generated by his unconscious, not his consciousness.
For Rebhahn, System 2 is an extension of System 1. The unconscious has full access to it, so what it produces are decisions driven by the unconscious, not by consciousness.
Consciousness allows us to navigate reality. Rebhahn, however, inhabits a fantasy completely divorced from reality, but which he can regard as reality because of the narcissistic supply from his worshipers, who also give him real money, usable in the real world. Outside his fantasy, Rebhahn is a worthless bum, a panhandler. In his fantasy, he is a hyperaware World Shaper and God, surrounded by angelic beings helping him with his divine mission as Woke Messiah. Obviously, he prefers his fantasy to reality, and so do his cultists.
Sam Vaknin said,
“We often marvel at the discrepancy between the private and public lives of our idols: Celebrities, statesmen, stars, writers and other accomplished figures. It is as though they have two personalities, two selves: The ‘true’ one which they reserve for their nearest and dearest and the ‘fake’ or ‘false’ or ‘concocted’ one which they flaunt in public.”
So, these people have an Ego and Persona set-up. There is a real person who interacts with their “nearest and dearest”, and there is an unreal person, an image, a mask, an act, a fiction, that interacts with the public, the masses.
Vaknin said,
“In contrast, the narcissist has no private life, no true self and no domain reserved exclusively for his nearest and dearest. His life is a spectacle, with free access to all, constantly on display, garnering narcissistic supply from his audience.”
Narcissists do not have an Ego and Persona arrangement. They just have a Persona. The Ego is subsumed by the Persona, so there is no longer a private person behind the mask. Corey Rebhahn has no true self and no private life where he has true intimates with whom he is candid and honest. However, he does need a special group of people to enable him, to prop up his narcissism, to help him suppress enemies. These are his mods – Susan Bitchell, Fat Jan and Phillip Shope. He could never have an honest exchange with any of these people. They are selected BECAUSE they support him unconditionally and would never question him under any circumstances. You can never be honest with people who cannot talk back to you. Honesty requires people to be peers, not master and slaves. The slave cannot be honest for fear of the consequences, and the master can never reveal his true self, assuming he has one, to those he is controlling.
In the case of a narcissist such as Rebhahn, there is no true self to reveal. There is, however, a “cult leader behind the scenes” versus a “cult leader in front of his public”. Rebhahn has conversations with his mods that he would never have with his public. In particular, Rebhahn acknowledges “issues” to his mods, but never does to to his public. When Jewel Marsh recently left the mod group, Rebhahn and the others would certainly have discussed what that meant for Hyperianism and what steps to take to minimize the damage, or strike back at Jewel, or discredit him. As we know, Morgue’s chosen tactic is to say nothing at all to his public. He never once mentioned Jewel’s departure and Jewel’s incendiary denunciation of Hyperianism, and not a single person asked. It was as if the earth had opened up and swallowed Jewel whole, including his statement. Not a single reply was made by any Hyperian to what Jewel had to say. Tumbleweed. Isn’t that an astonishing thing? No reaction at all. No one even took issue with it. They all know the Rebhahn game is to pretend that such attacks on him do not exist, hence there’s nothing to reply to.
Vaknin said,
“In the theatre that is the narcissist’s life, the actor is irrelevant. Only the show goes on.”
And Rebhahn’s show certainly goes on, deadstream after deadstream, and always the same.
Vaknin said,
“The False Self is everything the narcissist would like to be but, alas, cannot be: Omnipotent, omniscient, invulnerable, impregnable, brilliant, perfect, in short: Godlike.”
Rebhahn would love to be a “hyperaware World Shaper”, and actually presents himself as just this on his deadstreams. He wants his public to think him omnipotent, omniscient, invulnerable, impregnable, brilliant, perfect … and GOD. He even openly says, “I am God” … and means it. He really thinks he is.
Vaknin said,
“Its most important role is to elicit narcissistic supply from others: Admiration, adulation, awe, obedience and in general: Unceasing attention.”
And, self-evidently, Rebhahn gets all of that from his cult slaves on his deadstreams. The cultists have endless admiration for him. They hold him in total awe. They are entirely obedient. Their adulation could not be any more intense. Their attention and veneration are unflagging.
Vaknin said,
“In Freud’s tripartite model, the False Self supplants the Ego and conforms to the narcissist’s unattainable, grandiose and fantastic Ego Ideal.”
This is a valuable insight. In a normal person, the Ego is practical and realistic and obeys the reality principle. In a narcissist, things are very different. A False Ego replaces the Ego, and is wholly unrealistic, impractical and blind to reality. The reality principle has gone and has been replaced by a fantasy principle.
Vaknin mentions the Ego Ideal. Wikipedia says,
“In Freudian psychoanalysis, the ego ideal is the inner image of oneself as one wants to become. … In Freud’s ‘On Narcissism: an Introduction’, among other innovations — ‘most important of all perhaps — it introduces the concepts of the “ego ideal” and of the self-observing agency related to it, which were the basis of what was ultimately to be described as the “super-ego” in “The Ego and the Id.”’ Freud considered that the ego ideal was the heir to the narcissism of childhood: ‘This ideal ego is now the target of the self-love which was enjoyed in childhood by the actual ego. … What he [man] projects before him as his ideal is the substitute for the lost narcissism of his childhood in which he was his own ideal.’”
Rebhahn got no love from his mother in childhood, so fell in love with himself, and then never grew out of it. Rebhahn is a child in an adult’s body. He cannot interact with others as adults. He infantilizes others by requiring them to be his devoted slaves and worshipers. All others are childishly dismissed as haters, bigots and N**is. The whole Hyperian scene is spectacularly childish. People use childish names and play childish games and ask childish questions and childishly engage with emojis and the like. These people never grew up. They are Peter Pan people living in Neverland. The whole thing is a fantasy.
In Jungian terms, the ego-ideal can be considered equivalent to the Persona that has swallowed the Ego, so that the individual exists purely as their public face, wanting to be considered perfect by all those they meet. Look at how much effort Rebhahn invests in his image. In fact, his image is all there is. Imagine Rebhahn drastically changing his image. Well, you can’t, because Rebhahn is in every way defined by his image, which conveys his core identity.
Rebhahn’s grandiosity is off the scale. It’s comical to hear this person claiming to be “hyperaware” and to be shaping the world. Only a person with a False Ego, not a real Ego, could speak this way. We can imagine that all of the prophets of old were also directed by a False Ego and spouted the same sort of drivel and were believed by the same sort of cretins who find Rebhahn convincing.
Vaknin said,
“The narcissist constructs a narrative of his life that is partly confabulated and whose purpose is to buttress, demonstrate and prove the veracity of the fantastically grandiose and often impossible claims made by the False Self.”
And this is entirely the game Rebhahn engages in. It’s amazing that he isn’t laughed off the stage. But many people – codependents – find False Selves deeply addictive. They behave entirely differently from real Selves. They have that fantasy element which reality lacks. Cultists share the attitude of hating reality and fleeing from it … into the embrace of the cult leader. They pay to be embraced. They love it. They can’t do without it.
Vaknin said,
“This narrative allocates roles to significant others in the narcissist’s personal history.”
Rebhahn, curiously enough, has no significant others. It’s entirely about him. His mother features as some sort of monstrous presence, but that’s about it. He barely mentions his father, stepmother and stepbrother. He used to like to say that he was in contact with “secret societies” but he’s stopped doing that (natch!). Now he wants to say he is a self-made Ascended Master, entirely without precedent, a whole new type of human, the great “synthesizer” (er, plagiarist!).
Vaknin said,
“Inevitably, such a narrative is hard to credibly sustain for long: Reality intrudes and a yawning abyss opens between the narcissist’s self-imputed divinity and his drab, pedestrian existence and attributes.”
Rebhahn literally imputes divinity to himself, yet he is just a drab, pedestrian, commonplace fantasist incapable of facing reality, especially about himself. He surrounds himself with people who treat him as hyper-special. And avoids like the plague anyone who treats him as special only in how fucking mentally ill he is.
Vaknin said,
“I call it the Grandiosity Gap.”
Rebhahn lives in the Grandiosity Gap. His deadstreams all take place there. His sheer pomposity and grandiosity are sickening.
Vaknin said,
“Additionally, meaningful figures around the narcissist often refuse to play the parts allotted to them, rebel and abandon the narcissist.”
Many people, including four mods, have rebelled against the narcissist and abandoned him. His response is to act as if they never existed, as if no one rebelled and no one abandoned him. Because how can you rebel against and abandon God?!
Vaknin said,
“The narcissist copes with this painful and ineluctable realization of the divorce between his self-perception and this less than stellar state of affairs by first denying reality, delusionally ignoring and filtering out all inconvenient truths.”
And we all know that this is precisely what Corey Rebhahn does. He absolutely denies reality, as we see in every deadstream, and he absolutely ignores and filters out all inconvenient truths.
Vaknin said,
“Then, if this coping strategy fails, the narcissist invents a new narrative, which accommodates and incorporates the very intrusive data that served to undermine the previous, now discarded narrative. He even goes to the extent of denying that he ever had another narrative, except the current, modified one.”
Ah, Rebhahn has not yet arrived at this stage! We wait in great anticipation.
Vaknin said,
“The narcissist’s (and the codependent’s) introjects, and inner voices (assimilated representations of parents, role models and significant peers) are mostly negative and sadistic.”
This is very much the case with Rebhahn. His primary monster is his mother, while all of his critics are branded “haters” and “bigots”.
Vaknin said,
“Rather than provide succor, motivation and direction, they enhance his underlying ego-dystony (discontent with who he is) and the lability of his sense of self-worth. They induce in the child shame, blame, pain, guilt, rage and a panoply of other negative emotions.”
Corey Rebhahn, as a weird little boy unloved by his mother, was full of negative emotions – as he outlined in one of his videos on RTS – and basically his coping strategy was to become a narcissist. If no one else would love him, he would love himself, and now he requires all of his cultists to love him unconditionally, to share his opinion of himself.
Vaknin said,
“As Lidija Rangelovska notes, the paradox is that the child’s ego-dystonic shame and guilt emanate from the very primitive defenses that later comprise and underlie his False Self [‘Ego-dystonic refers to thoughts, impulses, and behaviors that are felt to be repugnant, distressing, unacceptable or inconsistent with one’s self-concept.’] Having been told repeatedly how ‘bad’, ‘worthless’, ‘disappointing’ and injurious he is, the child comes to believe in his self-imputed delusional ability to hurt and damage family members, for instance.”
So, Rebhahn was repeatedly told, by his mother and his fundamentalist Christianity, that he was “bad”, “worthless”, “disappointing”. Ironically, that made Rebhahn feel powerful – he could hurt his parents and his religion via his conduct. He felt guilt and shame about that, but also POWERFUL. And Rebhahn started to construct his False Self – and he saw himself as a tremendously dark, powerful figure, playing with razor blades, swords, beds of nails, magic tricks, and so on. He referred to himself as the Night Bringer, the Terror of Men, Morgen Night, Morgue … all names concerning darkness, power and death. He now loves the idea of being Maleficent. Go on, Morguey Boy, put on your Maleficent costume. You know you want to!
Vaknin said,
“Such imaginary capacity is the logical extension of both the child’s grandiosity (omnipotence, ‘I have the power to hurt mommy’) and his magical thinking (‘I think, I wish, I hate, I rage and thereby, with the unlimited power of my mind, I cause real calamities out there, in the real world’).”
Recall Edgelord Morgue’s Terrors of Men output. It was all about him imagining that he could hurt others, that he could wield the unlimited power of his mind, that he could cause calamities out there, in the real world. When Rebhahn went to the FBI, that was to cause calamities in the real world to his opponents. He brought the night to them … he delivered terror to their doorstep. In his mind, he was a supremely powerful individual who could even make law enforcement do his bidding and smite his enemies.
Vaknin said,
“So, it is the child’s natural primary narcissistic defenses that enable him to feel so miserable! These defenses allow him to construct a narrative which corresponds to and justifies the judgmental, hateful appraisals and taunts of his abusers. In his young mind, he accepts that he is bad because he is all-powerful and magical and because he leverages his godlike attributes to act with malice or, at the very least, to bring misfortune on significant others.”
Rebhahn, as Edgelord Morgue, postured as someone he knew would be judged, hatefully appraised and taunted by his “abusers”. He reveled in being dark, bad … an anti-hero (hence Maleficent), and was absolutely repulsed by conventional heroes and the conventional hero’s journey (he could not relate to that AT ALL … and nor can any of his cultists). Yet he also imagined himself an all-powerful and magical being who could smite them. He could taunt them back and bring misfortune on them.
“Morgue” could easily have used the alternative name of “Malice”. He is full of malice. But this strategy did not give the Terror of Men the narcissistic supply he needed, and he discovered that Woke Morgue – the exact opposite of Edgelord Morgue – was a figure who had an immense appeal for Woke women and received enormously more narcissistic supply. Moreover, Edgelord Morgue was not an alter that was compatible with gender politics, with effeminacy, with wearing dresses, with a non-binary identity. So, the more that Rebhahn got into wearing dresses in private and being fucked as a submissive woman, the more he had to move away from Edgelord Morgue – a violent, misogynistic, misanthropic nihilist – and embrace Woke World. The more effeminate Rebhahn became, the more Woke he became, and the more he detested masculinity, branding it “toxic”.
Vaknin said,
“To skirt this inner overwhelming negativity, the child ‘appropriates’ precisely these defenses and bundles them into a protective shield, thus sequestering his vulnerable, fragile self. Occupied by the ongoing project of his budding pathological narcissism, the child’s defenses are no longer available to construct and buttress the narratives offered by the abusive voices of his tormentors. Moreover, by owning his fantastic grandiosity and harnessing it, the child feels as empowered as his abusers and no longer a victim.”
And that’s exactly what happened with Rebhahn. He shut away his vulnerable, fragile self and embraced fantastic grandiosity and the notion of himself as a God – and loads of Woke women have gone wild for his Woke Jesus/Mary Magdalene performance of the last few years.
Rebhahn has lucratively monetized his performance, his grandiosity, his narcissism.
He has an ample narcissistic supply from his Hyperians cultists, and he will not give up this cult scene to which he is now utterly addicted since it gives him everything a narcissist requires.
Fat Jan is just the same, another person traumatized in childhood, and now addicted to validation.
It’s such a sad and pathetic scene, a psychological swamp where only mad people show up.
But hopefully the nightmare will soon end.
Dollie Donatello said,
“Can’t wait for McAfee’s article!”
Yes, this really is a key moment. Let’s hope that McAfee lives up to expectations. If he brings a sledgehammer to Hyperianism, that might finally allow reality to intrude in the Hyperian fantasy. But these cultists are so crazy that they might just enter an even deeper fantasy. The rabbit hole will sprout a whole new hole. We shall see.
That’s why the definitive way to end Hyperianism is to ensure that Rebhahn is jailed for his crimes.
So, it’s another deadstream tonight. Everyone should analyze all of Rebhahn’s narcissistic traits. He’s actually as good as Trump as an example of textbook malignant narcissism. He’s just Trump’s Woke mirror image.
Isn’t it impressive how well-drilled the harem is?
Velvet Tears:
“… we just don’t talk about it. You are welcome but we don’t talk about things like that…”
As Artemis Maenad said,
“YEAH! We only talk about fake dead granddaughters!”
And she also had the perfect comment for Fat Jan:
“Ok you got your 30 pathetic likes. Now get your fat fuck face on the screen.”
Indeed.
