Us and them or I and you?

What is true democracy? Democracy means self-government and group consciousness is not self-awareness.
Finger-pointing doesn’t demonstrate much self-development, yet many people point to groups of people when they express dissatisfaction with their lives or the situation in their country, and then point to the ‘leader’ who will save them from those people. They then vote for that ‘leader.’

Blaming others usually demonstrates too little or no self-examination and psychological or spiritual insight; it is usually projection and a forgetting that each individual creates their own reality. “They are to blame for our problems,” “We want them gone,” many become so convinced of this mantra that they eventually start thinking, “They are to blame for my problems.”
By then, nationalism or racism has already become internalized and personal, and the personal experience of it is a closed circuit.

Societies should be more about the individual and personal inner development, from which the individual learns that blaming others generally demonstrates a failure to take personal responsibility and that discontent and victimhood, if prolonged, often internalize into hatred. Because blaming refugees or immigrants for your situation is victim behavior.

Certain ‘leaders’ also need to learn that they have repressed feelings about their authoritarian parents and that, through their unconsciousness, they seek out even more authoritarian behavior for themselves.
Instead of healing it, they imitate it, exaggerating it, often publicly. Others who like to point fingers are then used as confirmation, and thus the illusion becomes evil in a country or in the world. The “leader” points to himself in his delusions of grandeur and unconsciously sees this as a victory over the authoritarian parent.

Therefore, we need a society that gives more space to the individual and is less focused on group consciousness. Within this society, individuals must learn through self-examination and self-development that blaming others and hatred are also personally undesirable. And that finger-pointing generally represents a refusal to go within.

A perfect blossom.
