About the time that I assume that we are living in the 21st century, I encounter news stories that force me to reconsider whether or not civilization has made progress. A recent story out of Israel tells of a man arrested who maintained his own personal harem. He had children with over 30 women and lived with 17 of them. The police expressed concern that he had the women under some kind of mind control and he may send messages to them instructing them to hurt themselves.
On reading the story, I am reminded that with increasing frequency, some of the couples who are working through affairs report that their spouse seemed ‘out of it’ or in a trance like state during that time. Stories like this one confirm that at some level, there are times that mind control/manipulation techniques are employed by some unscrupulous types seeking victims to ensnare with infidelity.
Although the wicked days of harems and multiple wives should be relegated to the history books, instead, the ancient curse is still an issue that is encountered. Although there may be some that dismiss this as a ‘middle eastern’ thing, with increasing frequency, there are cases in the United States and other nations of multiple wives and mind control techniques being used. The whole existence of the sex slave trade is just the tip of the iceberg in this case. Such behavior is akin to adultery on steroids.
