So they pointed at a target and say, aha, I know who the problem is. The problem is the anxiety. The unvaxxed, these domestic terrorists. And then the other people are like, oh, the problem is the deep state. Oh, the problem is... But we create these scapegoats. And we've done this throughout time. And that's actually where this scapegoat idea comes from.
There was a goat that was sacrificially slaughtered that would be like... We're going to put all the evil that exists, everything, all of the pain, and we're going to execute, sacrifice this goat and everybody will be okay.

But this is the public lynchings and the public executions and all of this and the persecutions of different ethnicities and the genocides and all of this is because it's like, we're going to take all of this free floating anxiety, all of this trauma, all of this, we're going to project it onto another. And if we eradicate the other, everything will be good.

But it never works because then it's not actually the source. You're just placing it on something. It might work temporarily as a salve, but then you'll eventually need another scapegoat and another scapegoat. And you'll keep looking deeper and deeper and deeper until your whole society eats itself alive.

So I spend a lot of time on this. This is a subject of my next book, which feels like the opus that I'm working on, and it's taking forever, and it'll continue to take forever, but it's called You vs. Anti-You, and I take the aggregate names of all of these different forces that you mentioned, and I personalize it. as both wildly personal and completely universal, the anti-you force, this force.

And when I really track its roots, I start to see that ultimately if all is God, which is what I believe, that's the God that I know, the God that infuses everything, there's also a force that's created that says, I am separate from God. which allows us to have a separate experience and then interact with other forces. But that's fundamentally the first distortion and the first delusion.

But it's a necessary one to create this reality that we're in. But that lie, so they say, you know, Satan is the father of lies, they say. You know, and I think that points to something because it starts with the first delusion that I am separate from everybody else. Ego, I am, but really what ego means is I am not you. I am something else. And in the Aboriginal culture, they say, nang, nang.
