A lot of people don't like this topic.
It fascinates me. It goes a long way to describe certain people's demeanor characteristics and personality types. I believe all variety of
personality traits are spread out among two basic types. Among these 2 types you can find the sad, the brave, the whining, the silent, the followers
and the leaders and all those other fine tuned points but they are passed out to the "cruel" and the "kind".
The broad spectrum of given traits are assigned to the compassionate and the compassionless.
Reptilian
The indifferent, silent, colder reptilian and the maternal, warmer and more audible, mammalian.
Those with an inordinate concern for the welfare and contentment of others (along with themselves) used to be called tender hearted. In addition to
"nurture" I think some of these tendencies are established beforehand since there are big differences in different individual "natures" even
within families.
And it is not that the insensitive, seemingly callous are wrong or heartless. We know they have hearts they feel and cry for their families but
overall and when it comes to others they are isolationist, predatory and cold.
To differentiate these in Catholicism they are called Cain and Able. Ancient Sumerians called them Enki and Enil. I don't know who they are but they
are two diametrically opposed species that have intertwined maybe deliberately to toughen the one and soften the other.
We are instructed to get along.
Now if I believe in reptilian creatures, and I don't know... I am not ruling it out and that says something itself, but if I did I would have to
assume they are not all bad.
They are different and think differently and when they ARE bad they are the worst we can imagine. But I sometimes believe there is a hierarchy of
technologically and even spiritually very advanced reptiles, nobility and Kings among them living right here among us.
