SOL
As ‘God of Truth and Integrity’, Mithras was invoked in solemn oaths to pledge the fulfillment of contracts and punish contract liars & contract – consideration cheaters.
In one view, he is born from an egg surrounded by 12 zodiac signs.[1] His birth was witnessed by a group of shepherds. For over 300 years the Roman Rulers established the Sunday God , modified by a grafting of the key popular systems into the now Christian Empire, including these Dark Age, medieval time stories:
Virgin birth, Twelve followers, crucified & resurrected, Miracles, Birthdate on December 25, Morality, Savior, Light of the world.
The faithful referred to Mithra as “the Light of the World”, symbol of truth, justice, and loyalty. He was mediator between heaven & earth and a Trinity member! Mithras was given the command by the raven (the Crow), messenger of the sun, to slay the bull, to assist others. The bull was also one of the four tetramorphs, later associated with the four gospels.
Creation Myth & Factions
With the help of his dog, Mithras succeeded in overtaking the bull and dragging it again in the cave. Then, seizing it by the nostrils, he plunged deep into its flank with his knife. As the bull died, the world came into being and time was born.

He was worshipped as guardian of arms, and patron of soldiers and armies. His aim was to maintain peace, wisdom, honour, prosperity, and cause harmony to reign. He assured victory to those respectful of rules, others & their labor.” The shedding of the sacrificial bull blood brought great blessings to the world, which, sadly, Ahri (man) the dark tried to prevent. [2]
Before daring to approach the altar to make an offering, confessors of sin were obliged to purge themselves through repeated purification rituals and flagellating themselves. These customs were continued in the initiation of neophytes. All family ties were severed and only fellow initiates were to be kin.
TWO FACED LIARS, BY FRAUD WORDS, ACTS & O-MISSIONS
One example of a two faced liar is Michel D., who, after stripping me of my livelihood, when I nicely asked why, told me to my face, verbatim:
“I’m not punishing you [lie], I am not taking your means to feed you & your family [lie] – you are not being erased [lie], silently. See my U M shell files – confirmed!
A coward in control of another’s life: Cowardice is a vice that is conventionally viewed as the corruption of prudence. the word “coward” comes from an Old French word coart.

Many people also use ostracism [or the silent treatment] as a tool to gain control of a situation.[3]
“The effects of ostracism are a health concern,” says Kipling Williams, professor of psychological sciences who researches ostracism. “Excluding and ignoring people, such as giving them the cold shoulder or silent treatment, are used to punish or manipulate.” [4]
The book ($75) was released by Psychology Press in June, and the co-editors are Joseph B. Forgas and William von Hippel.
Abuse By Proxy By: Dr. Sam Vaknin
If all else fails, the abuser recruits friends, colleagues, mates, family members, the authorities, institutions, neighbours, the media, teachers – in short, third parties – to do his bidding. He uses them to cajole, coerce, threaten, stalk, offer, retreat, tempt, convince, harass, communicate and otherwise manipulate his target. He controls these unaware instruments exactly as he plans to control his ultimate prey. He employs the same mechanisms and devices. And he dumps his props unceremoniously when the job is done.
One form of control by proxy is to engineer situations in which abuse is inflicted upon another person. Such carefully crafted scenarios of embarrassment and humiliation provoke social sanctions (condemnation, opprobrium, or even physical punishment) against the victim. Society, or a social group become the instruments of the abuser.
The abuser’s social milieu
Some offenders – mainly in patriarchal and misogynist societies – co-opt other family members, friends, and colleagues into aiding and abetting their abusive conduct. In extreme cases, the victim is held “hostage”
Forms of Abuse by Proxy
Socially isolating and excluding the victim by discrediting her through a campaign of malicious rumors.
Total Denial
1. Outright Denial
Typical retorts by the abuser: “It never happened, or it was not abuse, you are just imagining it, or you want to hurt my (the abuser’s) feelings.”
2. Alloplastic Defense
Common sentences when challenged: “It was your fault, you, or your behavior, or the circumstances, provoked me into such behavior.”
3. Altruistic Defense
Usual convoluted explanations: “I did it for you, in your best interests.”
4. Transformative Defense
Recurring themes: “What I did to you was not abuse – it was common and accepted behavior (at the time, or in the context of the prevailing culture or in accordance with social norms), it was not meant as abuse.”
Abusers frequently have narcissistic traits. As such, they are more concerned with appearance than with substance. Dependent for Narcissistic Supply on the community – neighbors, colleagues, co-workers, bosses, friends, extended family – they cultivate an unblemished reputation for honesty, industriousness, religiosity, reliability, and conformity.
Forms of Denial in Public
1. Family Honor Stricture
Characteristic admonitions: “We don’t do dirty laundry publicly, the family’s honor and repute must be preserved, what will the neighbors say?”
2. Family Functioning Stricture
Dire and ominous scenarios: “If you snitch and inform the authorities, they will take me (the abusive parent) away and the whole family will disintegrate.”
Confronting the abuser with incontrovertible proof of his abusive behavior is one way of minimizing contact with him. Abusers – like the narcissists that they often are – cannot tolerate criticism or disagreement (more about it here).
