Violence in Psyche & the Social Order

Violence goes much deeper than that.
A Course in Miracles reveals the mis-taken identity from attack as the basis for masking 'defenses' that do the thing they defend against.
Rene Girard has uncovered some of this from observation.
The mind we are framed to 'think in' is 'hidden' by its nature.
Jesus speaks of those who know not what they do.
Judgement set over & apart would do violence of attack of denial of the living truth - if God were mocked! But as we judge so are we in receipt of our own measure.
A sense of self-lack, set in fear of pain of loss seeks to GET or Boost itself from 'outside' - or rather from the misperception of Totality. It does so by GETTING rid of - or sacrifice, as a subconscious ritualised survival reflex of a mind locked down and distanced by a body of limiting & masking defences in a world of threat & grievance set in (power) struggle.
Rationalising masks of self-justification result from the weaponising of love & Reason - against their Source-Nature. This makes NO sense. Nor does a world in which “Everything is BACKWARDS; (everything is upside down! Doctors destroy health, Lawyers destroy justice, Universities destroy knowledge, Governments destroy freedom, Major media destroys information, And religions destroy spirituality". ~ Michael Ellner).
We have learned/trained our mind to see effect as causes - by the attempt to GET RID of or dissociate true Cause by framing reactions to False Evidences Appearing Real by Separation trauma of relational pain - within the heart, thus with one another.
The Prodigal is a replacement for the Promethean nightmare.
There Is a basis for seeing with new eyes of true Inherence as the release of a false or mistaken inheritance. It doesn't require more than recognising that (of myself) I do not know (and cannot know), for I am not OF my self (my own making -excepting image given power or priority).
But I can and do know that I do not WANT what I have made of my own attempt to create or manipulate reality, and thus release in the desire or prayer to be shown or revealed in truth I do not manufacture.
A true Foundation is never truly lost, but can be deeply hidden by the attempt to 'scape it' for the experience of our own thought & result or reward. The sin is not our mind, but the reversal of Natural Order of persisting self-illusion at expense of awareness of truth. Which is 'spiritual death' or dissociation from a truly felt embrace of and for life.
I didn't address the cultural expression of our particular circumstance, but the reversal of a false reversal is bringing the problem of fear-conflict to the felt light of truth, rather than trying to bring our light to the conflict - as if to fix, change or eradicate it.
Is this not why Jesus warned "resist ye not evil"?
Presuming to act for God or Good on the basis of hated and feared threat of pain and loss will be shaped or framed by our respective personal & cultural survival strategies.
Core beliefs and self-definitions are hidden by our focus in their results as our means of self-boosting reinforcement.
Let me be still a while, that awareness rise of itself to re-cognise the qualities of being beneath the Appearances by which I can so easily be 'phished'.
