SpiritualWiki - Opferhaltung

Das Täter↔Opfer-Denkmodell ist so tief in die existierende Weltanschauung des Massenbewusstseins eingegraben, dass es als Perspektive nur selten in Frage gestellt wird. Eine einfache Netz-Recherche ergibt, dass sich in Suchmaschinen fast ausschließlich Quellen finden lassen, die das Täter-Opfer-Modell bestätigen, indem sie ihre Argumentation darauf stützen. Sein Realitätsbezug wird nur von wenigen abgesprochen.

Der Löwe und das Mäuschen

Das TO-Modell beruht auf dualistischem Spaltdenken und trifft nicht zu. Die Täter↔Opfer-Betrachtungsweise wirkt sich wie ein gesellschaftlicher Virus aus, da sie bewusstseinsmäßig lediglich auf BW 135 schwingt. Sie befindet sich zwischen den Notstandsgefühlen Angst und Wut).

Eine Opferhaltung einzunehmen, ist nicht integer. Sie entzieht dem Großen Ganzen Energie einschließlich dem "Opfer" selbst.

Die an Tätern und (gewalttätigen) Tatkräftigen orientierte Kultur hat eine punitive Rechtsauffassung und -sprechung hervorgebracht.

Mitverantwortung – am Beispiel von Jesus und Sokrates

Ein ultimatives OPFER, das als RETTER (Erlöser) kam und posthum als König (in der TÄTERrolle?) eines inwendig vorhandenen Reich Gottes verehrt wird, ist der gewaltlose Avatar und Heiland Jesus von Nazareth (BW 1000), der bereit war, in den Tod zu gehen, der Gottes Wille war und ihm von der Volksmenge zugeteilt und von den Machthabern vor Ort vollstreckt wurde.

Ähnlich erging es auch dem griechischen Philosophen Sokrates (BW 540). Ohne die ihm gebotene Fluchtmöglichkeit zu ergreifen, trank er willig den Schierlingsbecher aus, den ihm ein Athener Bürgergremium zugedacht hatte, um den 70-jährigen Fragesteller, der als "Volksschädling" gesehen wurde, zu beseitigen.

In beiden Fällen hat das "Opfer" mit dem Täter-Opfer-Denkmodell, so wie oben beschrieben, nichts gemein. Jesus und Sokrates gaben ihr irdisches Leben in Erfüllung ihres Seelenkontrakts in Ausrichtung auf das Göttliche. Sie handelten als Menschheitslehrer, ohne sich als Geopferte zu bemitleiden. Da sie um die Begrenztheit des menschlichen Verstand/Gemüts ihrer "Täter" (Verfolger) wussten, baten sie um Vergebung für sie.

Singend in den Tod – Christenverfolger Kaiser Nero

Brot und Zirkusspiele. Die blutrünstige Masse jubelt ... !

A trio of female Swedish opera singers performing, Berwald Hall, 2016

Während der Regierungszeit des wahnsinnigen (narzisstisch selbst überhöhten) Kaisers Nero in Rom wurden die Christen der Frühzeit als angebliche Sündenböcke seiner Brandstiftung verfolgt. Die Minderheit der Nachfolger Christi fürchtete sich davor, von den freigelassenen hungrigen Löwen im Kolloseum gefressen zu werden. Die Gruppe von Christen, die von Nero, dem schaulustigen Publikum und den Löwen verfolgt wurden, überwand ihre Todesangst, indem sie Gott lobpreisten und geistliche Lieder sangen.

Fassungslos rief Kaiser Nero mehrmals während des Mordspektakels aus:

"Sie singen! Singen? Wie können die nur? Ich fasse es nicht!"

Nachdem die Löwen gesättigt waren, inspizierte der Auftraggeber der "Volksbelustigung" die blutigen Leichenreste in der Arena. Was er dort fand, waren Gläubige, die mit einem Lächeln auf ihrem Gesicht gestorben waren.
Das überstieg in der Tat das Fassungsvermögen des Kaisers, der dem Opfer-Täter-Denkmodell anhing.

Zitate von D. Hawkins

⚠ Achtung Siehe Power vs. Truth (engl.) Januar 2013

In unserer Gesellschaft übernehmen die Opfer selten die Verantwortung für die Provokation, Verführung oder ausgesprochene Beleidigung. Es dient dem spirituellen Fortschritt, für alles, was einen betrifft, stets Verantwortung zu akzeptieren und die Falle zu vermeiden, Opfer zu sein. Von einem höheren Standpunkt aus gibt es keine Opfer. FU Das All-sehende Auge, S. 211, 2001

Der Glaube an [eine] Ursache als substanzielle Realität hat tiefgreifend begrenzende und schädigende Konsequenzen. Er unterteilt alles Leben anhand einer willkürlichen Trennung in Täter und Opfer. […]
Da die Ursache ausschließlich als Gedanke in der Vorstellung existiert, kann sie von jedermann beliebig heraufbeschworen und zurechtgestutzt werden. Im äußersten Extrem fallen die Konzepte von Täter und Opfer zusammen. Durch tiefere Analyse kann man feststellen, dass tatsächlich nur durch willkürliche Auswahl bestimmt wird, wer Opfer und wer Täter sein soll. FU Das All-sehende Auge, S. 388-389, 2001

In der Wirklichkeit gibt es weder Subjekt noch Objekt. […] Kausalität ist nicht erforderlich, was ebenfalls Zeit und Raum ausschließt sowie das Gegensatzpaar: Akteur [Täter] gegenüber Erfahrendem [Opfer]. […]
Auf seltsame Weise ist das Ego gefangen in der berühmten Zweiheit von Täter und Opfer. Als Subjekt hält man sich für die Ursache und deshalb für den Täter. Verzichtet es auf diese Definition wird es zum Objekt und damit zum Märtyrer oder Opfer. FU Das All-sehende Auge, S. 404, 2001

Die fehlerbehaftete Vorstellung von Kausalität stellt ein riesenhaftes "Sesam-öffne-dich" dar aus Endlosschlaufen mit Opfer-und-Täter-Geschichten, deren Protagonisten serienmäßig ihre Rollen tauschen. inspiriert übertragen FU Licht des Alls. Die Wirklichkeit des Göttlichen, S. 125, 2003

Die ganze Pro-Opfer-Bewegung und die ihr angeschlossene Pop-Psychologie ist von innen heraus schädlich, indem sie die Schicksalsschläge des Lebens pathologisiert, mit denen jeder Erwachsene umzugehen lernen muss. Licht des Alls. Die Wirklichkeit des Göttlichen, S. 129, 2003

In der klinischen Praxis sieht man die endlose Parade des tödlichen Duos von Täter und Opfer. Das Muster lässt sich weder erfahrungsmäßig noch psychologisch noch spirituell auflösen, ehe das Opfer die Verantwortung übernimmt für einige Aspekte seiner Persönlichkeit, in denen es, wenn auch unter Druck gesetzt, dennoch die Rolle des Provokateurs gespielt hat.

Quotes by D. Hawkins

⚠ Caveat See Power vs. Truth, January 2013

Victimhood is intoxicating. You cannot change a person who is hooked on being a victim. Source unknown

By taking the responsibility for the consequences of his own perceptions, the observer can transcend the role of victim to an understanding that ‘nothing out there has power over you.’ It isn’t life’s events, but how one reacts to them and the attitude that one has about them, that determines whether such events have a positive or negative effect on one’s life, whether they’re experienced as opportunity or as stress. Source unknown

By taking responsibility for his own perceptions, the observer can transcend the role of victim to an understanding that nothing 'out there' has power over you. Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, S. 72, Hay House, Februar 2002

Spiritual progress is based on acceptance as a matter of free will and choice and thus everyone experiences only the world of their own choosing. The universe is totally free of victims and all eventualities are the unfolding of inner choice and decision. The Eye of the I From Which Nothing is Hidden, S. 61, 2001

Resign from self-appointed duties […], give up 'causes' […] for the oppressed, downtrodden, other victims. The Eye of the I From Which Nothing is Hidden, S. 140, 2001

(↓)

Don't get even. Avoid creating enemies. From a higher view, there are no victims.

People fall into the trap of getting even or making constant remarks. They create enemies and animosities. These preclude a peaceful life. Nobody needs enemies. They can retaliate in ways unseen and so bring on unfortunate consequences. There is no such thing as winning a conflict; that results in hatred by the loser.
The majority of domestic violence is a physical response to verbal provocation. However, in our society, victims seldom take responsibility for the provocation, temptation, or hurled insult.
It serves spiritual progress to always accept responsibility for all that befalls one and avoid the trap of being a victim. From a higher view, there are no victims. Nothing in the world of appearances has the power to cause anything. The Eye of the I. From Which Nothing Is Hidden, chapter 9, S. 193, 2001

Rarely is a person willing to look within themselves for the origin of their difficulties because it tends to become projected onto others in the endless game of victim and perpetrator. I. Reality and Subjectivity, S. 99, 2003

Question: Is the ego thus both victim and perpetrator?
Answer: That is correct. The ego is the victim of itself. With rigorous introspection, it will be discovered that the ego is really just 'running a racket' for its own fun and games and survival. The real 'you' is actually the loser. I. Reality and Subjectivity, S. 397, 2003

"Hate the Leader Syndrome"

⚡ NOTE: Disabling fears of authority figures (expressed as stuttering) tend to disappear when one engages in activities that naturally unfold in an atmosphere of trust: laughter, singing, acting, whispering, talking to pets or babies.

Those who fear and hate authority project it onto others via ethnic, religious, or political symbols. The basis of leader hatred is simply jealousy and envy of authority figures, facilitated by the projected dualistic perceptual distortion of perpetrator/victim (the classic Marxist pitfall). In addition, narcissism results in guilt and self-hatred that is then projected onto the country and the president. Truth vs. Falsehood. How to Tell the Difference, S. 305, 2005

Naively, people believe that the First Amendment [of free speech] means no restrictions, consequences or accountability. It just states that 'government' cannot interfere, but others, such as employers, etc. are not prevented from doing so. Employees get legally fired for nonjudicious or intemperate speech, as "bloggers" recently discovered, when they lost their jobs. (Jesdanun, 2005) Truth vs. Falsehood.

Social narcissism (cal. 180)

Inflated egotism results in "sensitivity" by which personal responsibility is projected in paranoid style to cultural discourse.

Societal meme of slanderous propaganda

In a society where anyone can frivolously be declared a guilty perpetrator on a whim, nobody is safe and everyone is at risk without protection by logic, reason, and balance of the traditional rule of law. Truth vs. Falsehood. How to Tell the Difference, S. 229, 2005

We transcend the levels of consciousness, moving out of Victim Consciousness and progressing towards Enlightenment through daily spiritual practice. It’s helpful to consider that along with our physical muscles, we also have spiritual muscles. In order to maintain a balanced level of spiritual fitness, it’s important that we exercise all of our spiritual muscle groups on a regular basis.
The two most fundamental spiritual muscle groups are Awareness and Accountability. The stronger these core spiritual muscles are, the easier the more advanced exercises will be. Awareness includes both becoming conscious of the stories we tell ourselves and whether those stories make us feel strong (Power) or weak (Force, Victim Consciousness), and also cultivating an Awareness of the Present Moment. The Accountability muscles are essential to getting into right relationship with the ego. The ego is fundamentally terrified of being held accountable, and each time we avoid accountability, we step into Victim Consciousness.
By training our Awareness and Accountability muscle groups, we will spend less and less time in Victim Consciousness. This creates the opportunity to develop the more advanced (and powerful) spiritual muscles of Gratitude, Forgiveness and Compassion. Transcending the Levels of Consciousness. The Stairway to Enlightenment, S. 30?, 2006

Forgiveness is an extremely important major tool, expecially when it is combined with the willingness of humility and acceptance of human fallibility and susceptibility to error. From spiritual intention, the surrendering of egoistic options may seem like a sacrifice, but when recontextualized, they are revealed to be a hidden gift. Transcending the Levels of Consciousness. The Stairway to Enlightenment, chapter 19, S. 330, 2006

Stress comes from our giving externals power over our life, which comes from the position of victim, of putting the source of happiness outside our life and denying the power of our own mind. The healing comes about through re-owning that power and realizing that we and we alone create the meaning of any circumstance, event, place, position, thing, or any person in our life. We create the meaning, our position, and the way we hold it. That either becomes a source of healing or a source of illness. We are the ones who determine the outcome. Healing and Recovery, S. 129, 2009

All the negative energy fields are based on placing the source of our happiness externally. This results in being vulnerable and also being the potential, hopeless victim. Being the victim means perceiving a cause as being outside ourself. Therefore, the vulnerabiltiy to depression is present as long as we think the source of our happiness is something outside ourselves. Healing and Recovery, chapter 12 "Depression", S. 366, 2009

Personal judgment is based on perception that is reinforced by belief and prior programming, all of which are held in place by the payoff of the negative energies of the ego. The ego just "loves" suffering a "wrong", being the martyr, being misunderstood, and being the endless victim of life's vicissitudes. Consequently, it gets an enormous payoff – not only from the positionality itself but also from sympathy, self-pity, resentments, importance, or being "center stage" in which the self is the hero or heroine of the melodrama. Along the Path to Enlightenment. 365 Reflections from David R. Hawkins, edited by Scott Jeffrey, S. 88, Reflection of June 13th, January 2011

The ego gets a grim pleasure and satisfaction from suffering and all the levels lacking integrity: pride, anger, desire, guilt, shame, and grief. The secret pleasure of suffering is addictive. Many people devote their entire lives to it and encourage others to follow suit. To stop this mechanism, the pleasure of the payoff has to be identified and willingly surrendered to God. Out of shame, the ego blocks our conscious awareness of its machinations, especially the secretiveness of the game of "victim". Dissolving the Ego, Realizing the Self.

In fifty years of psychiatry, I found that the hardest thing was to try to get people off victimhood. If you threaten that, they become very resistant. Forget other addictions; the ego thrives on injustice, martyrhood, victimhood. The only juice the ego gets is negativity, so it hates it when you try to take that away from it.

Note:

Native American spirituality calibrates very high at LoC 500.

That which gives up its life for a higher life earns the karmic merit to become that higher life. The Native Americans who took an animal life understood this. They could see the attractor field of the animal, killed it for the sake of a higher life, and sanctified it. By virtue of its sacrifice, it earns the merit to become the higher life. As we sacrifice our personal lives for the sake of the world, we sanctify the life of the world. This is personified in the life of Jesus Christ. As we support that energy, we are serving life.

Die Ausgrenzung eines potenziellen Opfers entspricht dem, was man als "Sündenbockmechanismus" kennt und bezeichnet. Er hat nach Girard seine soziale Funktion darin, dass er Ordnung her- oder wiederherstellt, man könnte auch sagen sozial schädliche Gewalt in nützliche verwandelt. Artikel Wie entsteht ein Sündenbock? Grillparzers „Jüdin von Toledo“ als Opfergeschichte, präsentiert von Essener Unikate, Ursula Renner, Ausgabe 21, 2003

Sündenbockmechanismus
Die Entwicklung des religiösen Denkens in den früheren archaischen Gesellschaften unserer Vorfahren geht mit der Abarbeitung von Normen einher, die das Ausbreiten der Gewalt innerhalb der Gruppe verhindern oder steuern. Für archaische Gesellschaften ist das Bewusstsein, dass Mimesis und Gewalt dasselbe Phänomen sind, von zentraler Bedeutung. Gewalt wird verhindert, indem man die mimetische Verdoppelung/Spiegelung zwischen Individuen derselben Gruppe verbietet. […] Das Wissen über den Zusammenhang Gewalt-Mimesis ist zugleich ein Wissen über die Wege, die aus der mimetischen Krise (Ausbreitung der Gewalt) führen. Girard postuliert die Existenz einer fundierenden Erfahrung, die ein für alle Mal gezeigt hat, dass die Gewaltspirale durch die Opferung eines Sündenbocks unterbrochen wird. Hat die mimetische Gewalt in einer Gruppe einen Punkt erreicht, in dem alle die Gewalt aller nachahmen und das Objekt, das die Rivalität ausgelöst hat, "vergessen" ist, so stellt das Auftreten eines einmütig als schuldig empfundenen Individuums eine einheitsstiftende Polarisierung der Gewalt dar: Die Tötung oder Ausstoßung des "Schuldigen" reinigt die Gruppe von der Gewaltseuche, weil diese letzte – gemeinsam vollbrachte – Gewaltanwendung keinen mimetischen Vorgang (Rache) mit sich bringt. Da auch das Objekt, das die Krise ausgelöst hat, vergessen ist, ist die Reinigung durch diese Opferung vollständig. Insofern die Auswahl des Sündenbocks eine mutwillige oder auch zufällige ist, ist der Sündenbock austauschbar: Seine Bedeutung für die Gruppe besteht in der durch ihn wiederhergestellten Einmütigkeit. Gleichzeitig ist aber der ermordete/ausgestoßene Sündenbock in seiner heilbringenden Abwesenheit einzigartig und unaustauschbar.
Dieses Geschehen ist mit seiner "wunderbaren" Wirkung die Offenbarung des Heiligen, das das Überleben der Gruppe ermöglicht: Die dem Opfer nach seiner Tötung dargebrachte Verehrung kommt der Erfindung der Göttlichkeit gleich, und die Wiederholung des Sündenbockvorgangs ist die rituelle Vergegenwärtigung des Heiligen zusammen mit dessen Ausstoßung aus der menschlichen Gesellschaft.
Besondere Beachtung verdient die Tatsache, dass die Wiederholbarkeit des Vorgangs und die Austauschbarkeit des Opfers – das, was einen Kult ermöglicht, – in der a-priori-Bösartigkeit des Sündenbocks, also in seiner Unschuld, gründen.
Die Gesamtheit der Gebote und Regeln, die das Wiederholen dieses Vorgangs fördern und seinen Ausgang überwachen, machen den eigentlichen Bestand an Riten und positiven Verhaltensnormen jeder archaischen Gesellschaft aus. René Girard (1923-2015) französisch-amerikanischer Kulturanthropologe, Historiker, Literaturwissenschaftler, Religionsphilosoph, Autor, zitiert aus: de.Wikipedia-Artikel, Stand März 2018

Holocaust (n.) is originally a word for "burnt sin offerings" used in the Old Testament.

"A sacrifice by fire, burnt offering," from Greek holokauston "a thing wholly burnt," neuter of holokaustos "burned whole," from holos "whole" linked to HOLY (see holo-) + kaustos, verbal adjective of kaiein "to burn." Baal Ba-El (son of god)

Then Moses slaughtered the ram and sprinkled the blood against the altar on all sides. He cut the ram into pieces and burned the head, the pieces and the fat. He washed the inner parts and the legs with water and burned the whole ram on the altar as a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma, an offering made to the Lord by firem as the Lord commanded Moses. Genesis-Levithicus 8, 19-21 (OT)

Then Noah built an altar to the Lord, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar. The LORD smelled the sweet, savory aroma; and was pleased. Genesis 8, 21 (OT)

Write bad things that are done to you in the sand, but write good things that are done to you on a piece of marble. Arabic proverb

Being a victim is a common fear. The Victim archetype may manifest the first time you don't get what you want or need; are abused by a parent, playmate, sibling, or teacher; or are accused of or punished for something you didn't do. You may suppress your outrage at the injustice if the victimizer is bigger and more powerful than you. But at a certain point you discover a perverse advantage to being the Victim. You may be afraid to stand up for yourself, or you may enjoy getting sympathy. The core issue of the Victim is whether it's worth giving up your own sense of empowerment to avoid taking responsibility for your independence.

Part of why it is hard for me to feel like I’ve sufficiently made my point is the trauma of never being believed. This "denial of credibility" plays a crucial role in the continued disempowerment of oppressed groups of people, which seems to be rooted, at least in part, in our cultural propensity for disbelieving victims. When hearing about the horrors of abuse, people can easily fall into the unconscious tendency to judge the victim, thinking in some way they brought the abuse on themselves or in some way deserved it. In not being believed, it is as if our perceptions and credibility are denied, as if our very being itself is being invalidated at its core.

[Victimhood is a] neurological image that is held in the brain as a biological substrate. Sharon Stanley, Ph.D., US-American scholar-practitioner of somatic psychology, source unknown

The role of Deity soon took on a role in ritual and dogma. With this emerged the idea of sending the tribe's best member to the Gods in order to secure the needs of the tribe. This began the concept of human sacrifice to placate the Gods. Those willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the tribe were thought to become gods themselves. The concept of giving offerings to the Gods, such as food, flowers, or game, was nothing new because such offerings previously had been made; but human sacrifice now was considered the supreme gift that the tribe could offer. The belief was that the Gods would surely grant the tribe whatever it needed when a person willingly gave his or her life to them.
Following the sacrifice, the blood and flesh were distributed among the clan members and given into the soil. Parts of the body were buried in cultivated fields to insure the next harvest. Also, small portions of the body and blood were incorporated into the ceremonial feast; an ancient practiced that was assumed later by the Christians in their Communion services, the body and blood of Christ.
Eventually human sacrifice was totally eliminated as human consciousness matured and was replaced by animal sacrifice, and then by plant sacrifice, or the harvest festival. The same ancient mythos, or legend, applies to both animal and plant sacrifice. In Wicca/Witchcraft this is referred to as "eating the deity" or consuming the Harvest Lord in the ritual cakes and wine (flesh and blood) of Craft rituals.
There is present in the rituals similarities of concepts or beliefs. In the ancient tradition it was believed that through the connection of the body and blood of the Slain God that the people became one with the deity. In the "Last Supper" Jesus declare that the bread and wine were his body and blood, which he gave up for the salvation of the people. Blood was believed to contain the life force. The death of the king freed the inner spirit. Through the distribution of his body and blood, heaven and earth were united and his vital energy renewed the kingdom.
The appearances of the Slain God have taken on various aspects throughout the ages. His images can be seen in the Jack-in-the-Green, the Hooded Man, the Hanged Man of the Tarot, the Lord of Vegetation, the Harvest, and the free untamed aspect of the forest.

Scapegoat mechanism according to René Girard
René Girard developed the [Scapegoating] concept much more extensively as an interpretation of human culture. In Girard's view, it is humankind, not God, who has need for various forms of atoning violence. Humans are driven by desire for that which another has or wants (mimetic desire). This causes a triangulation of desire and results in conflict between the desiring parties. This mimetic contagion increases to a point where society is at risk; it is at this point that the scapegoat mechanism is triggered. This is the point where one person is singled out as the cause of the trouble and is expelled or killed by the group. This person is the scapegoat. Social order is restored as people are contented that they have solved the cause of their problems by removing the scapegoated individual, and the cycle begins again. The keyword here is "content". Scapegoating serves as a psychological relief for a group of people. Scapegoating, en.Wikipedia article, status March 2018

By etymology 'tragedy' means 'goat-song.' The goat was of course the zodiacal Capricorn, coming at the winter solstice, when the sun, typifying the soul in the dead 'winter' of its incarnation, was in the throes of 'death' as the scapegoat to carry the onus of man's redemption. For obviously man's only possible redeemer – from benightedness, nescience, animal carnality – is his own soul. Alvin Boyd Kuhn (1880-1963) US American theosophist, lecturer, self-publishing author, Who Is This King of Glory?. A Critical Study of the Christos-Messiah Tradition, 88, Book Tree, 2007

Emperor Nero persecuting singing Christians

Bread and games will keep the blinded massmind held in cognitive dissonance.
Bloody games of cruelty will find people willing to cheer as long as empathy, insight and spirit are kept afar.

During the reign (54-68 AD) of the 5th Roman emperor Nero (37-68 AD) the early Christians were being persecuted. They were chosen to serve as the scapegoats of an insane emperor. Afraid of being eaten alive by lions in the Coliseum the ardent followers of Christ were singing hymns. Praising God in faith, they overcame their fear of death.
Nero, watching the spectacle, exclaimed aghast:
"They're singing! Singing? How can they? Beyond understanding!"
After the lions had feasted on the Christians and the public spectacle was over Nero himself went to inspect the left over dead bodies lying around in the arena. To his disbelief, he found that these strange believers had died with a smile on their face.
Switching into serenity mode when faced with utter fear of death was indeed beyond Nero's comprehension. The insane man had felt invicinble by incorporating the rankist paradigm of perpetratorhood and victimhood.

Nero's Torches, 1877
Henryk Siemiradzki (1843-1902) Polish painter

Note: Antidotes to fear [of feared authority figures] are: laughter, singing, acting, whispering, talking to pets or babies. Disabling fears of suppressive authority tend to disappear when one engages in activities that naturally unfold in an atmosphere of trust. Stuttering often vanishes when stutterers are singing or laughing.
