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 Suchmaschi-
nen 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 ent-
zieht dem Großen Ganzen Energie einschließlich dem "Opfer" selbst.

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

Das 1968 von Stephen Karpman entwickelte Dramadrei-
eck zeichnet die sisiphusartigen Opfer-Helfer-Strukturen nach.

Wenn drei nicht in Seinem Namen zusammenkommen..., wirkt das Dramadreieck.

Mitverantwortung – am Beispiel von Jesus und Sokrates

Ein ultimatives OPFER, das als RETTER (Erlöser) kam und posthum als König (in der TÄTERrolle?) eines inwendig vorhande-
nen 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 Menschheits-
lehrer, 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 dienen dazu, eine blutrünstige Menge zu unterhalten.

Auftritt von drei schwedischen Opernsängerinnen, 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 Min-
derheit der Nachfolger Christi fürchtete sich davor, von den freigelas-
senen 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 zum Thema Opferbewusstsein / Victimhood

[Edit]

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 ausge-
sprochene Beleidigung. Es dient dem spirituellen Fortschritt, für alles, was einen betrifft, stets Verantwortung zu ak-
zeptieren 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

Eiszapfen

Der Glaube an [eine] Ursache als substanzielle Realität hat tief-
greifend begrenzende und schädigende Konsequenzen. Er unter-
teilt alles Leben anhand einer willkürlichen Trennung in Täter und Opfer. […]
Da die Ursache ausschließlich als Gedanke in der Vorstellung exis-
tiert, kann sie von jedermann beliebig heraufbeschworen und zu-
rechtgestutzt werden. Im äußersten Extrem fallen die Konzepte von
Täter und Opfer zusammen. Durch tiefere Analyse kann man fes-
tstellen, 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 Mär-
tyrer 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 aus 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 sel-
dom 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 any-
thing. 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 pro-
jected onto others in the endless game of victim and perpe-
trator. 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 re-
strictions, 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. How to Tell the Difference, S. 228, 2005

(↓)

Social narcissism (cal. 180)

Inflated egotism results in "sensitivity" by which personal responsibility is projected in paranoid style to cultural discourse. The perceived "offender" is depicted as a perpetrator from whom apology is now extorted by the demand of indignant self-righteousness and declaration of victimhood. Truth vs. Falsehood. How to Tell the Difference, S. 228, 2005

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 Enlighten-
ment 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 mus-
cle groups on a regular basis.
The two most fundamental spiritual muscle groups are Awareness and Accountability. The stronger these core spiri-
tual 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 Conscious-
ness), 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 Conscious-
ness. This creates the opportunity to develop the more advanced (and powerful) spiritual muscles of Gratitude, For-
giveness 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 put-
ting 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, Reflection of June 13th, S. 88, 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. Contemplations from the Teachings of David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., edited by Scott Jeffrey, chapter 1, S. 12, quote 3, Hay House, August 2011

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. You do things for love that you can't do otherwise. Sedona Seminar Identification and Illusion, 3 DVD set, 14. August 2004

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, PDF, präsentiert von der Zeitschrift "Geisteswissenschaften – Religion und Gewalt", Essener Unikate, Ursula Renner, Ausgabe 21, S. 50-61, 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 Indi-
viduen derselben Gruppe verbietet. […] Das Wissen über den Zusammenhang Gewalt-Mimesis ist zugleich ein Wis-
sen 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 Tö-
tung oder Ausstoßung des "Schuldigen" reinigt die Gruppe von der Gewaltseuche, weil diese letzte – ge-
meinsam 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 Gött-
lichkeit 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 Austausch-
barkeit 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 über-
wachen, machen den eigentlichen Bestand an Riten und positiven Verhaltensnormen jeder archaischen Gesell-
schaft aus. René Girard (1923-2015) französisch-amerikanischer Kulturanthropologe, Historiker, Literaturwissenschaftler, Religionsphilosoph, Autor, zitiert aus: de.Wikipedia-Artikel, Stand März 2018

Fazit: Der Sündenbock als einfache Antwort auf komplexe wirtschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Fragen ist eine untaugliche, ja fatale Antwort. Je mehr diese Gruppen als Ursache und der Kampf gegen sie als Lösung proklamiert werden, umso stärker werden populistische Ränder im politischen Spektrum.
Wir brauchen keine immer neuen Sündenböcke, sondern Lösungen. Rein biblisch gesehen half die Vertreibung und Opferung der Sündenböcke dem jüdischen Volk auch nichts.

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 fire 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 offe-

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 "de-
nial 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. Paul Levy (*1956) US American psycho-activating healer, artist, author, Quantum Revelation. A Radical Synthesis of Science and Spirituality, S. 53, SelectBooks, 22. May 2018

[Victimhood is a] neurological image that is held in the brain as a biological substrate.

The role of Deity soon took on a role in ritual and dogma. With this emerged the idea of sending the tribe's best mem-
ber 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 Sup-
per" 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. Online encyclopedia entry Slain God, presented by The MYSTICA, status 2023

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 cy-
cle 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 sol-
stice, when the sun, typifying the soul in the dead 'winter' of its incarnation, was in the throes of 'death' as the scape-
goat 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-pub-
lishing author, Who Is This King of Glory? A Critical Study of the Christos-Messiah Tradition, S. 88, Book Tree, 2007

The Dreaded Drama Triangle

Whether we know it, or not, most of us react to life as victims. Whenever we refuse to take responsibility for ourselves, we are unconsciously choosing to react as victim. This inevitably creates feelings of anger, fear, guilt or inadequacy and leaves us feeling betrayed, or taken advantage of by others.

Victimhood can be defined by the three positions beautifully outlined in a diagram developed by a well respected psychiatrist, and teacher of Transactional Analysis, named Stephen Karpman. He calls it the "drama triangle," I refer to it as the victim triangle.
I believe that every dysfunctional interaction, in relationship with other or self, takes place on the victim triangle. But until we become conscious of these dynamics, we cannot transform them. And unless we transform them, we cannot move forward on our journey towards re-
claiming emotional, mental and spiritual well-being.
The three roles on the victim triangle are Persecutor, Rescuer and Victim. Karpman placed these three roles on an inverted triangle and described them as being the three aspects, or faces of victim. No matter where we may
start out on the triangle, victim is where we end up, therefore no matter what role we're in on the triangle, we're in vic-
timhood. If we're on the triangle we're living as victims, plain and simple!
Each person has a primary or most familiar role – what I call their "starting gate" position. This is the place from which we generally enter, or "get hooked" onto, the triangle. We first learn our starting gate position in our family of origin. Although we each have a role with which we most identify, once we’re on the triangle, we automatically rotate through all the positions, going completely around the triangle, sometimes in a matter of minutes, or even seconds, many
times every day. […]
Starting gate Rescuers (SGR) see themselves as "helpers" and "caretakers." They need someone to rescue (victim) in order to feel vital and important. It's difficult for SGR’s to recognize themselves as ever being in a victim position – they're the ones with the answers after all.
Starting Gate Persecutors (SGP), on the other hand, identify themselves primarily as victims. They are usually in complete denial about their blaming tactics. When it is pointed out to them, they argue that attack is warranted and
necessary for self protection. These two – the Rescuer and the Persecutor – are the two opposite extremes of
Victim. But again, regardless of where we start out on the triangle, all roles eventually end up in victim. It's inevitable. […]
Living on the victim triangle creates misery and suffering no matter what your primary starting gate position may be.
The cost is tremendous for all three roles and leads to emotional, mental and even physical pain. Efforts to avoid pain,
by blaming or looking for someone to take care of us, only ends up generating greater pain in the end. When we try to
shield others from the truth, (rescue) we discount their abilities and this creates more pain. Everyone involved in trian-
gular dynamics ends up hurt and angry at some point; no-one wins.

Releasing the Victim stance

The Enlightened Victim understands that real power comes from within and is bound up with personal responsibility [Creator]. When you are the Enlightened Victim you cannot blame others because you can see that the loss of power happens from within. It would be useless to look for empowerment where it does not exist. The Enlightened Victim asks "what can I do with the situation that I have been given?" There is this great scene from The Lord of the Rings movie where Frodo, feeling victimized by the fact that the ring of power has come to him, says to Gandalf: "I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened." And Gandalf answers him wisely: "So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought." Here Gan-
dalf shows Frodo where his true power lies. There are some things in life that are not for us to decide but we can de-
cide what to do with what we have been given, or what has happened to us. It is a very encouraging thought. […]
The Enlightened Victim is not afraid of weakness and fragility because you maintain vulnerability as a strength.
You have learned that power can be found even in the worst victimization. You are no longer afraid of failures, losses, tragedies, suffering and misfortune because none of these outer circumstances has the power to control your
life. Vulnerability is the keystone of your strength because it allows you to discover different kinds of power and espe-
cially recognize the strength of openness. Vulnerability makes you pliable and willing to be changed by your
circumstances without losing your power.

Stockholm syndrome combined with cognitive dissonace

Carver states that he commonly runs in his practice into women involved with psychopathic partners who say something to the effect of, "I know it’s hard for others to understand, but despite everything he's done, I still love him." While cultivating feelings of love for a partner who repeatedly mistreats you may seem irrational, it's unfortunately quite common. Psychological studies show that molested children, battered women, prisoners of war, cult members and hostages often bond with their abusers. Sometimes they even go so far as to defend them to their families and friends, to the media, to the police and in court when their crimes are brought to justice.
This psychological phenomenon is so common that it acquired its own label: "Stockholm Syndrome," named after an incident that occurred in Stockholm, Sweden. On August 23rd, 1974, two men carrying machine guns entered a bank. They held three women and one man hostage for several days. By the end of this ordeal, surprisingly, the victims took the side of their captors. They also defended them to the media and to the police. One woman even became engaged to one of the bank robbers. Another spent a lot of money for the legal defense of one of the criminals.
Those who suffer from Stockholm Syndrome develop an unhealthy positive attachment to their abusers. They come to accept the abuser’s lies and rationalizations for his bad behavior. They sometimes also assist the abuser in harming others. This psychological condition makes it difficult, if not impossible, for the victims to engage in behaviors that fa-
cilitate detachment from the abuser, such as turning him in, exposing his misconduct or leaving him. […]
The combination of 'Stockholm Syndrome' and 'cognitive dissonance' produces a victim who firmly believes the relationship is not only acceptable, but also desperately needed for their survival. The victim feels they would mentally collapse if the relationship ended. In long-term relationships, the victims have invested everything and 'placed all their eggs in one basket.' The relationship now decides their level of self-esteem, self-worth, and emotional health.

Spiritual tenets aiding perpetrators and impeding the journey of survivors

Spiritual misconceptions inducive to victim shaming

༺༻	Misleading victim shaming spiritual tenet	Counterview
1.	There is no separation⁴	Some abusers cannot empathize or show remorse for their behavior, which is a large part of what makes one human. This philosophy can be exploited to justify horrific assaults on the victim.
2.	Human pain is an illusion, created by one's own 'dysfunctional' thinking.⁵	This idea is a form of gaslighting to tell abuse victims that their pain only exists within their own perceptions rather than in reality. It is a cop-out for holding abusers responsible for changing their abusive behavior; it is victim-blaming and victim-shaming.
3.	Forgiveness is a must in all situations, across all contexts.⁶	Survivors robbed of their choices can feel retraumatized to forgive an abuser who shows no remorse and when being forced or shamed by society to do so.
4.	The ego must be eradicated completely to achieve happiness.⁷	Emotions associated with the "ego" actually have indispensable roots in the process of healing. Fear may essential to gauge one's intuitive gut feeling about someone's intentions; anger to reveal that one is being treated unfairly.
5.	What you see in another exists in yourself.⁸	This philosophy is used far too often to fabricate similarities between abuser and victim where there are none, to divert the focus from the abuser.
6.	The victim "attracted" the abuser, hence they have the responsibility for being abused.⁹	The idea that abuse is in any way a survivor's fault is victim-shaming and blaming.
7.	We are never victims – we create everything.	Victimhood is not a role abuse survivors play, it is a legitimate reality.

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.
