Vlog 56 Healing - YouTube:On the overall video, I think you are really onto something here. Viewing these projecting types of people as the manifestation of evil doesn't really work, because it doesn't really add up. It's more like they live in a cozy little bubble and defend themselves against unwanted thoughts. You and I and other scapegoats come to be the manifestation of those unwanted throughts, which is why we have to be pushed further and further out of sight, by means of any available mechanism.
When I first began to notice this phenomenon I was reading Nietzsche at the time, and he said, "The stupidity of the good people is unfathomably clever." Their unquestioning belief in their own goodness is really an ego defence that prevents them from knowing that they are crucifying those whom they sense are different from them (who won't be party to their delusions). Nietzsche goes on with an informed rant: Where does the greatest harm to humanity come from? Does it not stem from (those who define themselves as) The Good and The Just? [It's all just ego defence.] It makes sense to view these kinds of unconscious manipulators as weak rather than evil, even though their effects are very evil, sad and wrong. What they project onto you is what they can't face about themselves, so you really have to be mentally and emotionally tough to face your own disappointments and emotional traumas and work through them, slowly, taking however long it takes. In the end, we do the emotional processing work that the rest of our society is not prepared to do, which is why I described the role of the scapegoat as "shamanic". We harbor the knowledge that society does not wish to own about itself.
