The Deadly Competition

Carl Jung did not circumnavigate the subconscious in his long, informative and illustrious career as a psychiatrist and psychotherapist. He sailed right across its choppy waters.

 I full believe in and accept his theory about iconic archetypes cropping up millions of time across the planet and across the centuries  in the collective subconscious of billions of people, most now departed.

One archetypal feud that I do not believe that he researched or wrote about the the individual versus the group, the subject most dear to my heart.

This pattern is written large on every human heart. The group is always the proto-mob that thinks, feels and acts as one individual, one-colossus striding the playgrounds and school grounds in the neighborhood that it rules.

Unfairly and often tragically pitted against it is the socially powerless, targeted loner, the isolated individual, that proto-individuator with so much potential that is usually never activated or developed.

When they go to war (often the individual yields, moves away, lies low sufficiently or flat surrenders), the fight escalates until the individuator yields, flees or is vanquished.

The proto-mob insiders must taste victory, and they will go to any lengths necessary to succeed. Either the loner yields, converts, disappears, goes into exile or is silent in his dissension.

Where he refuses to leave, lie low, cease criticising the group and its foolish sinful ways, then the fighting will escalate until he is marginalized, is economically destroyed and occasionally is burned at the stake.

It requires a strong stomach to accept that the proto-mob will ratchet up the pressure on him to lethal levels. If ultimately required to gain the upper hand, to win they will turn into killers and mob myrmidons to impose their will upon him.

They, in such a condition and role, as collectivists and stunted individualists, are lost creatures completely owned and controlled by the Evil Spirits.

It is much less important to them that they risk burning in hell for all eternity for their misdeeds while alive here on earth than it is to defeat the individual dissident mocking, resisting and defying the group's rationales and procedures that reign in the neighborhood.

They will go to any lengths, use any underhanded tactic, tell any lie, betray all that they swore is noble and sacred, and infict any level of vicious, even violent pressure upon the dissident to torture from him assent to their supremacy and way of life. Either he relents or he is going down.

In this way the link between mob cruelty, fanaticism, lying and groupism is made patent. In this way their combating individual independence, love of liberty, loving moderation, support for the Good Spirits, rational objecting and supporting Mavellonialist self-perfecting all are visible for inspection by all.

If he is allowed to escape obeying them, bowing to them, praising them and publicly giving homage to their way of seeing things, then it leaves the door open for others to try dissent. Then the group's monopoly on power is threatened, and that is impermissible. A neighborhood not ruled by a proto-mob is a neighborhood, that could be populated with maverizers, and convert to worshiping and joining the Good Spirits.

First, we bring into public consciousness our awareness that the eternal feud has been unfolding on every playground and school yard for thousands of years. Satan and Lera are most effective when their tools of wickedness are not defined and publicly explained.

Second, we plan to stop this natural, psychological warring from going on in the future.

Third, we install in the Constitution as an amendment, and make it part of the formal legal code, that, as a legal civil right, that the minority, protected class status, be afforded every citizen that openly declares that he wants to live out his days as an individuator and individualist.
