An antisocial personality disorder, according to the LTA method, is caused by unconscious programmings. These programmings or ‘patterns’ are not located in the brain or in the genes, but in a matter, extending in a wide radius around the person concerned (= the subconscious mind). These patterns exist as from birth and guide the person and determine the process of his or her life. Even if someone has had too little affection and guidance ever since he/she was a kid, or was abused in his/her childhood, still patterns are causing the behaviour of an antisocial personality. Even if someone has grown up in an environment that is conductive to the development of an antisocial personality disorder, it will still be the patterns causing the behaviour. Even if biological factors are present (disorders in the brain functions), again this is the result of patterns, causing the disorders.
Patterns are activated by negative situations (such as a lack of affection) among other things. However, they can only be activated because they are present in a person’s subconscious mind. A person who was neglected as a child and who does not have any patterns causing an antisocial personality disorder, will not develop into an antisocial personality. If a person was neglected, again this was the result of the presence of particular patterns in the subconscious mind. The things that happen to a person, are steered by the patterns. If a person does not have any patterns for being neglected, then this will not happen to the person concerned.
There are two kinds of patterns, determining the behaviour of the antisocial personality.
First there are the patterns that hold concepts: ‘you must lie’, ‘take care of yourself’. Secondly, there are patterns that cause malfunctions in the brain, so that deviant chemical processes are developed in the brain. As is the case with ADHD and psychoses. With people who show antisocial behaviour when they are grown-up, often conduct disorders were already noticed in the childhood or puberty.
Irrespective of whether we are dealing with the first or second kind of patterns, when the patterns are eliminated, also the symptoms of the antisocial personality disorder will disappear.
Examples of patterns of a Flemish swindler
• Must swindle, cannot stop swindling, must do it, gets restless if he cannot swindle for a while, must be able to do it on a regular basis, if not he will be climbing the walls, can only calm down if he can swindle
• He can think of nothing else than of his own benefit, he cannot imagine and cannot understand that you would do something for another person that is not for your own benefit, that is totally unknown to him, he can exclusively do something for himself, he can exclusively act in his own interest
• He cannot be honest, must lie all the time, must tell something that is not true
• He must distort the truth, cannot handle telling the truth, gets uncomfortable when he tells the truth (as if he disappears, as if he no longer exists, as if he is submerging into something)
• The world MUST be about you, you MUST be the centre, you MUST get all the attention
• You must be important, that is your principal aim, it is very important to be important, that is the most important thing in life + the additional sense of craving for being important
• Not being able to tolerate rules and laws, getting the feeling that he no longer exists if he has to submit to rules and laws
• A compulsion for doing things in another way than prescribed by the rules
• You have no consideration for anyone else, you make your own laws, you only do what you like to do, you do not yield to anyone else’s wishes
• Take care of yourself, take good care of yourself, always think of your own benefit, let someone else do the dirty work, use other people to achieve your aim, other people are there for you, you are a God and they are the pieces for you to use to achieve your objectives
• You steel and you cheat, you are a danger for society, they catch you and they lock you up, but you always get free, and then they catch you and they lock you up and you get free again, and then they catch you …
