Is Cassandra Syndrome Increasing in Society?
From a spiritual perspective, it may be that the tendency for this condition is becoming more latent and easier to manifest.

Cassandra Syndrome refers to a condition that often appears in wives whose husbands have Asperger’s syndrome.

The name “Cassandra Syndrome” comes from Greek mythology. Apollo granted the beautiful Cassandra the gift of seeing the future.

However, Cassandra foresaw a future in which Apollo would abandon her, and she rejected his love.

Enraged, Apollo placed a curse upon her so that no one would believe anything she said. The story of Cassandra Syndrome is thus about not being noticed or believed by anyone.

In other words, the traits of a husband with Asperger’s syndrome can be the cause for the wife to develop Cassandra Syndrome.

According to information on the internet, traits of Asperger’s syndrome include: weak social communication skills, limited imagination, impaired empathy, difficulty forming mental images, and a strong tendency toward fixations.

In extreme terms, it can present as a self-centered mindset, a belief that the world revolves around oneself, and a strong conviction that one’s own views are always correct.

The Left Brain and the Right Brain

The left brain excels at language construction, calculation, logical recognition, and comparison—in other words, the ability to perceive the visible, real-world reality. It tends to function in a more scientific, masculine way.

The right brain excels at recognizing rhythm in music, understanding through imagery, intuition, and grasping the overall atmosphere—in other words, the ability to sense the invisible aspects of the heart. It tends to function in a more literary, feminine way.

Ideally, a balanced brain is best. However, humans are creatures that seek value, and this often leads to imbalances. As a result, differences in thinking and values easily emerge.

Asperger’s syndrome can be described as a state in which a person is extremely tilted toward the left brain.

Japan’s education system tends to place high value solely on individual pieces of knowledge, while emotional education is weak. This creates conditions in which “robot-like” individuals with Asperger’s traits can easily appear.

Moreover, those with strong knowledge skills are often seen as highly intelligent, and Asperger’s traits tend to be more common among highly educated individuals.

While not true for everyone, they often have strong earning potential, leading others to assume they have a wealthy and happy household. This makes it easier for Cassandra Syndrome to appear without anyone noticing.

As I have mentioned many times in this blog, the growth of the soul parallels the growth of knowledge. Knowledge grows through each realization of fact, while spiritual maturity—raising one’s “soul level”—grows through each realization that comes from the heart.

When the soul level rises, one’s spiritual presence increases, as does the creative power to fulfill others’ hearts. The more realizations one has, the broader one’s perspective becomes. This is not a difficult concept—it is essentially the process of becoming an adult in the spiritual sense.

Conversely, having a low soul level means weak spiritual presence, a tendency to prioritize satisfying one’s own heart over fulfilling others’, and a narrow perspective due to fewer realizations. This is essentially being a child in the spiritual sense.

People with Asperger’s traits tend to have weak awareness of the heart, with fewer realizations from the heart, and thus are more likely to be seen as having a low soul level.

A low soul level means remaining a spiritual child, which makes stress more likely. The energy to seek presence may manifest in harmful ways such as slander, child abuse, bullying, power harassment, “monster” behavior in various roles, toxic parenting, stalking, and even serious crimes.

When faced with stress, people tend to choose between attacking the source or escaping from it.

Of course, in the household, escape is often not an option, so the tendency toward aggression may surface. This can manifest as domestic violence or aggressive behavior toward one’s wife, increasing the likelihood of Cassandra Syndrome developing as a result.
