That's the way John Lennon was, though: He would have these blind enthusiasms, only to terminate them with violent apostasies. This
applies to Dylan, the Maharishi, to Allen Klein, to Janov and Primal
Scream therapy. If only he had the sense to discern Yoko for the narcissistic psychopath she was.
Lennon turned against his wife Cynthia and against McCartney in sick
ways, but he had not embraced them blindly; they had earned his trust
and respect, and it was Yoko, I believe, who engineered the destruction
of those relationships. That's what narcissists do, just like cult
leaders. A person who is severed from what stabilizes him is vulnerable
to the narcissistic cult leader.
How about for his friends, coworkers, and family? McCartney cared more
about Cynthia and Julian than John did -- as he demonstrated by writing
"Hey Jude" and half-jokingly proposing marriage to Cynthia.
Lennon allowed Yoko to poison his behavior towards everyone who had once mattered to him -- and to only accept those who kissed (or pretended to
kiss, as in the case of Klein, Richter, and Mintz) her ass. That's the
way narcissists are.
