Transcript
- 0:00What is going on, beautiful people?
- 0:02Today we're going to be answering the age-old question.
- 0:05Is narcissism demonic? Is narcissism a demon or is it
- 0:09from the devil? If you're new here, my name is
- 0:11Lee Hammock. I'm a diagnosed narcissist, not
- 0:13the devil. And welcome to another episode
- 0:15of the Narcissist Code. So boom, welcome back, folks.
- 0:35Welcome back. Welcome back.
- 0:36Yes, yes, yes. The age-old question, right?
- 0:41What kind of bear is best? That's a ridiculous question.
- 0:45False black bear. Oh, Jim and Dwight.
- 0:49I missed the Office, but yes, y'all.
- 0:52Is narcissism a demonic entity? Is it?
- 0:55Is it demonic force and whatnot? I y'all again, y'all, I'm not a
- 1:00super religious person and I know, I know some people when I
- 1:04say that they feel like that's that automatically disqualifies
- 1:07me from speaking on this. But I speak, I've read the
- 1:09entire Bible from beginning to end.
- 1:11I've read the entire, I've read the entire entire Quran.
- 1:15So I understand why people think that narcissism is a demonic
- 1:19force. That's why people think
- 1:21narcissism is a demon or it comes from the devil.
- 1:23I yeah, I truly, truly get that. But the reason I don't think
- 1:28it's a demonic force is because like when you say narcissism is
- 1:33a demon, right? It's like you're you're you're
- 1:36absolving the actual human being of accountability because you,
- 1:42you're blaming it on the devil. When you say God can heal all,
- 1:46it is like you're putting it on God to heal a person who's not
- 1:49putting the work in Y'all as y'all, as y'all know, y'all
- 1:52believers, non believers, faith without works is absolutely
- 1:57dead. DOA is dead on arrival.
- 2:00Now you can pray all you want to, but if you don't, if you if
- 2:03you have the ability to get up, get up off that couch and put
- 2:06some work in or do some stuff like that, then in this space
- 2:10right here in this space right here.
- 2:13It's just so many things going on right here.
- 2:16Y'all just like in this space, you have to be able to put the
- 2:19work in you if you able to get up off the couch and work and
- 2:24just put in grind. This is what you need to do.
- 2:27You mean this is what this is the type of stuff you need to be
- 2:30able to do in the heel and the pop up from and to just grow
- 2:33from You know it's baby steps in the right direction.
- 2:37There are absolutely baby steps to get to where you want to go
- 2:39to, but you have to put the work in.
- 2:42Like, so I don't think, like I said, saying it's a demon or
- 2:44it's a demonic entity. It's a, you got to, you got to
- 2:46have an exorcism. Like I took my, I took my
- 2:49narcissistic ex to church. And you know, this is, this is
- 2:53what I imagine that some people think when you say narcissism is
- 2:56a demon, right? This is what I imagine some
- 2:58people think like you took, you plan on taking your narcissistic
- 3:01ex to church and you got like a bottle of holy water in your
- 3:04pocket. You don't let the you don't let
- 3:05the pastor know that you're on the way.
- 3:08Like y'all got walkie-talkie. He's talking like Pastor Frank.
- 3:12Pastor Frank we walking in. Be careful.
- 3:16His head might start smoking like you're expecting your
- 3:18partner's head to set on fire or start smoking like vampire in
- 3:22Brooklyn. You know what I mean?
- 3:24It's just like you take them in there like you, you throw some
- 3:26holy water on them. You do you do some you do the
- 3:29write a passage, you some some rosemary's and you think a demon
- 3:32is going to hop out your partner and the the line cheating demon
- 3:37is going to hop out your partner and run out the church, Like
- 3:40your partner is going to wake up and she's like what what
- 3:43happened? I'm not, I don't feel the need
- 3:46to cheat anymore. I'm healed.
- 3:49You know, that's not going to happen, y'all?
- 3:52This is what I imagine what people tell me.
- 3:54They say narcissist, but they that's what that's really what I
- 3:57imagine people saying. Imagine what's what's going to
- 4:00happen. I know that's not going to
- 4:02happen, y'all. And I know I'll just make jokes.
- 4:04It's it's jokes. I'll make jokes.
- 4:07Yeah. I have to bring humor and levity
- 4:09to the situation. I absolutely have to.
- 4:11Or just like people cry through it, but I just don't think it's
- 4:15a demon because you when you say it's a demon, it just takes the
- 4:18pressure off the person, you mean, But instead, instead of
- 4:22actually going to do some mental health work, the person would
- 4:24just go to church. You know, I'm not saying church
- 4:26is not I'm not saying church can't help, you know, I mean,
- 4:29because absolutely the reading the Bible, getting closer to God
- 4:33has absolutely helped me. Reading the whole Quran has
- 4:35absolutely helped me. But also I've been in therapy
- 4:38for seven years. So I feel like that's in tandem.
- 4:40I feel like I had the faith and I put in the work.
- 4:44You see what I'm saying? I've been in seven years, the
- 4:45third, but I read the whole Bible, I read the whole Quran.
- 4:48I have the fact I try to pray every single night.
- 4:50I thank God for trying to thank God for every single thing I
- 4:52have even some of the even through the struggles.
- 4:54But the faith, it's the faith part.
- 4:57Put it and give giving it to God.
- 4:59But you know, like I'm still got to put the work in, right?
- 5:02I still have to work behind it. I still have to work with it and
- 5:06I still have to put I still have to grind and do what I need to
- 5:10do in those circumstances, in those situations.
- 5:13I have to be able to do that. Y'all, this is what I have to go
- 5:17on this, you know, see, this is what's going on in my mind.
- 5:19So faith without works is dead. Like you can't pray the
- 5:23narcissism out of your party. You can't pray for them to stop
- 5:26cheating on you. You can't pray for them to see
- 5:28your worth. You know what I mean?
- 5:30You can't pray for them to stop being abusive and putting their
- 5:32hands on. You can't pray for them to stop
- 5:34just lying and manipulating and stealing.
- 5:36You can't pray for them to just get up off, get up, you know, to
- 5:39go find a job or work or whatever.
- 5:41If they're not doing it, they have to want, you can pray for
- 5:44them, y'all, but they have to put the work in, right?
- 5:47They absolutely have to. They have to want to work.
- 5:50They have to just be, you know, I'm not.
- 5:52Yeah. I'm not thrilled to go to
- 5:54therapy, you know, just truth be told.
- 5:56I used to take shots before I walked into the therapist.
- 5:58I used to be so nervous to talk to the therapist.
- 6:00I used to take shots of alcohol before I walked into the
- 6:02therapist's office. Ain't that crazy?
- 6:05That's how nervous I was. That's how much shame I had
- 6:08building up in me outside the therapist office that I felt
- 6:11like I would have to take shots of liquor before I walked into
- 6:13the therapist office. I wasn't drunk, but I was just
- 6:15like, tipsy. It helped me be more open.
- 6:18You know what I mean? You know, it helped me be more
- 6:19open in order to fight the shame and whatnot.
- 6:23That's what I've had to battle through.
- 6:26It's really what I had to battle through.
- 6:27It's really what I've had to do over such an.
- 6:30It's such a long process, right? So I'm just telling you right
- 6:32now, they're like, don't just put it all on a demonic force.
- 6:38Don't just all put it all on, on demons and whatnot and just try
- 6:41to pray it away. They still have to put the work
- 6:43in because, yeah, being realistic.
- 6:46And this is not me being realistic and this is not me
- 6:50just trying to, you know, pickle anybody.
- 6:53But a lot of times, religious people can be the easiest to
- 6:56manipulate because you don't have to see things to believe in
- 6:59it, right? You have faith, which is faith
- 7:01is beautiful, but you don't have to have that physical evidence.
- 7:04So they can just tell you have their faith.
- 7:07I prayed, God, talk to me. They can lie to you.
- 7:10They can. You don't think a narcissist
- 7:11would lie to you and tell you that God spoke to them?
- 7:13Hell yeah, God ain't talking. They would just tell you
- 7:16straight up. God, send them a text message.
- 7:19God, no, God, me and God, we go back and forth on WhatsApp, huh?
- 7:25You know God send me a Snapchat. No, they you don't think they
- 7:29would. You don't think that they would
- 7:30use God to try to manipulate you.
- 7:32They absolutely will. They absolutely will.
- 7:35They will make you a target because of your belief.
- 7:37Sometimes they sometimes they target you because of your
- 7:41faith, because of your belief. Sometimes that's what they do
- 7:44because you have this power within you, because you have
- 7:47this strength within you, they will absolutely target the hell
- 7:50out of you because you have the faith, because you have the
- 7:53belief system. You know what I mean?
- 7:54They don't let your you. Don't let your religious belief
- 7:57be your downfall to an abuser. Don't let it be.
- 8:00Don't let it hold you to an abuser.
- 8:03Don't let it just, you know, don't let it attack you to this
- 8:07abusive narcissistic person for longer than you need to be
- 8:10attached to them. You know, Don't let it get to
- 8:12the point where you can't set yourself free because you keep
- 8:14thinking that God's going to change this person.
- 8:18They have to want to change. You mean you go read the Bible.
- 8:22God was hardened in hearts. You see what I'm saying?
- 8:24God was in in the Bible, hardened in hearts.
- 8:26Like if God sits in with Moses, what was it Moses and say Moses
- 8:31and his brother Aaron to go talk to the Pharaoh and God heart in
- 8:34his heart. God's like, no, don't let him
- 8:36go. Pharaoh, Pharaoh like hell no,
- 8:38you ain't. You ain't taking him with you
- 8:40then come to plagues then you know isn't there.
- 8:42You come to plagues going through Egypt and whatnot.
- 8:45There was some hardened hearts in the Bible.
- 8:48You know, maybe your partner has a heart and heart and they have
- 8:51to work through something. They haven't been living in
- 8:53faith. They can't be living in faith
- 8:55and cheating, y'all. They can't be living in faith
- 8:57and putting their hands in it. Can't be living in faith and
- 8:59stealing from you and lying to you and manipulating you and
- 9:03gaslighting you. How you living in faith and
- 9:05doing the devil's work? How you doing that?
- 9:08Wait, tell people straight up just, you know, I love my
- 9:12religious folks, but it gets to that space where you don't want
- 9:15religion to be your downfall. I'm not telling you that.
- 9:17I'm not telling you to give up your religion.
- 9:18This is not absolutely, this is absolutely not what I'm telling
- 9:22you to do. Don't try.
- 9:22You don't get it twisted. Don't get it confused.
- 9:24I am not telling you to give up your religious belief.
- 9:26I am absolutely not saying that. I'm just saying don't let people
- 9:30take advantage of your religion, your religion.
- 9:32Don't let people use it. Don't let people just try to
- 9:34stake a claim in it when they're clearly not religious.
- 9:37They're not living in faith. There's a lot of people out here
- 9:39masking being a religious when they're actually some of the
- 9:42most evil, heartless wrenches wrenches in the in the world.
- 9:48So don't let, don't let, don't be too steeped in your faith
- 9:51that you let an abusive manipulator, toxic,
- 9:53narcissistic, lying bastard into your life.
- 9:56You know what I'm saying? They might be the devil.
- 9:57You might need to pull that water out of it.
- 10:01Hit him with it. You mean this way this, this be
- 10:02on on a first date. That's what you do on the first
- 10:04date from now, if you got if you got a date right, if you got, if
- 10:06you got a date with somebody from the somebody from outside
- 10:09of the church, somebody, somebody from inside the church
- 10:11get you some holy water dip. Look, dip your little bottle in
- 10:13the holy water. They just like, hey, can I can
- 10:16I, can I anoint you? Now this is the first date.
- 10:19Let me anoint you real quick. If you put that holy water on
- 10:22their head and it starts sizzling and popping, get up and
- 10:25leave. I'm, I'm gonna go to the
- 10:31bathroom real quick. You might have to excuse
- 10:33yourself to the bathroom and dine and dash dine and you got
- 10:38to dine and dash on the devil. But anyways, y'all, I love
- 10:44y'all. I want the best for you.
- 10:45I really, really do. I'm so grateful for every single
- 10:47one of you. I'm so grateful for my journey.
- 10:49I'm so grateful for the role of God has played in my journey.
- 10:52My faith has played in my journey.
- 10:54I just hate seeing people get manipulated because you are
- 10:56steeped in faith and they are not.
- 10:58You mean so don't just put it on the demon or the devil whatever
- 11:00because it just takes the responsibility of the person to
- 11:03change people just think oh God I can pray it away.
