In Feng Shui, dark personalities are typical 'Void Patterns' or 'Parasitic Layouts.' Lacking their own 'Sheng Qi' (vital energy/true core), they must 'copy' to steal others' Qi. Stealing tragic stories is 'borrowing Yin energy' to play the victim; stealing ideas and identity is 'robbing wealth and seals' (stealing your luck and achievements); deliberately wearing specific clothes to trigger you is setting up a 'Dark Affliction Array' to break your psychological defenses. The scariest part (predatorial envy) is called 'soul-snatching' or 'the cuckoo taking over the nest' in Feng Shui—they don't just drain your energy; they aim to completely replace your position. The only solution is 'physical isolation and severing the energy field.' Once you spot malicious mirroring, instantly withdraw all energy and give them no 'entry points.' Without your energy supply, this 'parasitic layout' will naturally wither.
One of the 25 tactics of a narcissist/psychopath is copying.
Dark personalities have a bizarre insight into the world of emulating others that is profoundly deeper than other human beings. They copy others for the following reasons:
1. When pretending to be victims, they do not have their own stories of abuse or vulnerability, so they steal the stories of others.
2. They sometimes copy to intimidate, destabilise and cause pain to their victims. For example they may dress like someone who was loved by the target but who is now deceased. Or they might wear an outfit on an occasion they know they might be seeing their ex that was worn during a fight.
3. They have no moral code and so they might steal others ideas and property and other items.
4. They sometimes mirror and copy the emotional responses, behavioural mannerisms and words of others to influence them more effectively.
5. They have a limited emotional world so while some are creative, many struggle with creativity so they take ideas from others.
6. Dark personalities do not experience emotions in the same way other people do. In fact, they have an almost non-existent emotional life. They therefore have to act out emotional responses and they watch and copy other people to learn how to do this.
7. Some dark personalities who are not as smart and have not achieved as much experience what I refer to as predatorial envy. They are pathologically jealous of someone who has what they want and feel they are entitled to. In these cases they will emulate and copy the envy target while at the same time trying to destroy that target so as they can become them.
The whole copying tactic is used frequently by dark personalities. I use a technical term to describe human predator copying – creepy!
