end/ His concern, he said, not religion, but its anthropology and, as such, the staggering features of Jesus' murder ultimately revealing the only way out of a revolving hall of projections - our "automatic, unconscious, ingrained and mimetic" escalating war of all against all. @nick_routledge "Conscious people do not scapegoat; unconscious people do almost nothing else." ~ @RichardRohrOFM “We have to discover our shadow. Otherwise we are driven into a world war in order to see what beasts we are." ~ C.G. Jung @nick_routledge Hence, Jung: “The best political, social, and spiritual work we can do is to withdraw the projection of our own shadow onto others.” And Richo: “The goal of an evolved consciousness is to take its projections back.” Quote tweet: 'Looks'? Overlooked. Bailie: "..an act of official violence regarded as legally righteous by the political authorities and as a sacred duty by the religionists. This simple and obvious fact is the most overlooked aspect of the colossal historical phenomenon we call Christianity. What, then? The murder of Jesus, viewed as a sacred duty by the religios and legally righteous by the pols, reveals the perverse, foundational complicity between cultural status quo and the  scapegoat function, declaring the absolute centrality of the position of the Victim. 9/ In the final analysis, denying the truth of the Victim has screened us from ‘apocalypsis’, the unveiling of a realm of perception and liberating experience in which the common lie of dominative materialist and religious denial is unmasked, and the Great Lover revealed. 10/ Because. Because. It has taken until now to realize the staggering anthropological and co-evolutionary significance of the Cross because the moral, intellectual, and epistemological effects of the Gospel revelation have of necessity developed gradually. 13/ Last words, from Rene Girard: “...beyond all that disfigures it in our eyes, the truth of the victim that we at last possess is the greatest, most fortunate event in the history of religion and the whole of humanity.” @unitethepoor /end `
