@yourauntemma What seems missing is a prophetic psychology: one that understands the prophetic tradition not merely as content, but as a psychic function essential to healing—especially under (proto-)totalitarian conditions, where catastrophic injustice must itself enter the therapeutic frame.

Copy of thread here: Forgiveness does not mean assuming a position of superiority and putting up with or tolerating behavior in another person that we do not like. Forgiveness means correcting our misperception that the other person harmed us.~Gerald G. Jampolsky I know Jampolsky was considered a giant but that second sentence sounds as though it issues from a shrink in Sausalito and not a Syrian torture dungeon. Perhaps forgiveness would be a rich theme to explore further, here.
@Plough 11/ Seen this way, the deeper danger today may not be hardened or inattentive readers but a total epistemic and civilizational complex of deformation preceding the act of reading altogether. At this point the crisis exceeds formation and becomes discernment under occupation.
