Peregrinus, with a layman's detailed study of psychology, I think you're completely safe to conclude you're not a psychopath. I see that absence of compassion saddens you, whether you see it in the masses or in yourself. In my opinion that is very clearly a non-psychopathic reaction on your part.
Your excerpt about Stoic philosophy sure has some parallels with the Law of One material. I didn't realize that you had so recently discovered this material. Are you going through the Ra books?
Thank you for the Pineal work explanation. Those all look like healthy habits that would be helpful for me as well. I'm already doing some of them. If there is not already a thread here about caffeine, I might start one some time.
As for Spock, remember the character was supposed to be have had one human and one Vulcan parent. He had an internal effort to utterly suppress the human emotions, which came to the surface anyway in ways Spock found unwelcome. Throughout all versions of Star Trek, purebred Vulcans were more consistently logical and emotion-free. To relate this to the Wanderer concept from the Law of One, maybe between your Wanderer and human spiritual pedigrees, one is more emotional, and other has been mostly effective in shutting down those emotions.
From the Ra books and other sources, I see these associations with orange ray:
The integration of apparently disparate, inert materials into an integrated organism, as with single-celled organisms who imbue the elements with the emergent synergetic properties of life.
Within the individual, the lumbar plexus, distribution of nerves involved in voluntary motion of the lower trunk, groin and upper legs: where we pivot, take a stand or choose the direction we walk in, being outgoing without suffering a stiff back from a fixed position, free of undeserved guilt that would make us freeze.
Within humanity, expression of individual, personal power, through movement and growth of the individual. In a positive sense, respecting the personal power of others. In a negative sense, denying the rights of others to have their own personal freedom.
The power of teamwork, as in team sports or mass transportation - again, walking or kicking.
Emotions and happiness (you're definitely working very hard on this one)
Connection to physical self-care and self-expression activities including water, food, sexuality and parenthood. If imbalanced, potential problems with lungs, kidneys, low thyroid, depression. Applying usage of water, correct bladder function and centered calm in the sense of martial artists who are free to pivot in any direction as circumstances change. (Bruce Lee is awesome to watch at this.)
"The orange-ray body is the physical body complex. This body complex is still not the body you inhabit but rather the body formed without self-awareness, the body in the womb before the spirit/mind complex enters. This body may live without the inhabitation of the mind and spirit complexes. However, it seldom does so." - Ra, Session 47
Healthy self-esteem and goal-driven expression that promotes one's own growth. Joy, pleasure, sociability.
The third eye chakra is associated with the pineal gland, ESP/psychic phenomena, meditation, spirituality, intuition, and physically, blood flow to brain, eyes and head.
Is there a chance that you've been pursuing spiritual enlightenment at the cost of not being grounded in the physical world, where you need to walk around in this life?

Quote:Love, to me is ensuring the happiness of others, and giving all I can to ensure that.The bigger questions, then, include: What is happiness? How is it found? Can we ever actually ensure or block the happiness of another person? If happiness is getting what you want, can someone who doesn't know who they are or what they want really be happy?
