augment the package he represents. In either case, a stronger self image is the answer, as when reaching across
borders, one must have a country to extend a hand from.

ZetaTalk: Scapegoats
Note: written by Jul 15, 1995
Hatred and scapegoating are rift throughout humanity, and in truth, throughout all intelligent species everywhere. Why
is it that emotions can ramp up and focus, like a laser light, at innocents? What could cause men to deliberately harm
innocent children? Although others can see that the cause is not just, and the victims not guilty, the perpetrators are
sternly convinced they are doing the right thing. What is going on here, and what is going wrong!
In society many emotions must be hidden, and in many families this is learned young. The babe senses that certain
postures get applause, and other postures illicit rage. Does this eliminate the emotion? It does not. These emotions
simply go underground, where they cause many problems as they are not recognized for what they are. What are these
emotions, and why are they unwelcome. In families, cohesive emotions are applauded, and discord is punished. As the
father, or father figure in most cases, is most powerful and dominant, this is the fulcrum where discord is determined.
In short, if the dominant father figure makes a statement or a determination, any challenge to this is deemed discord
and is punished. The frustration this genders, particularly in young boys, is buried, but like fires in the underbrush, the sparks and coals glow with life, waiting to spring up at a later point.
By what logic does a young man, now grown, turn with savagery against innocents simply because decisions in their
youth were arbitrary? This is not a decision made in the heart, as those who scapegoat and form the core of hate
groups are not in touch with their feelings toward others. They are in the process of learning how to suppress feelings
toward others, and moving in the direction, if not already arrived, of the Service-to-Self orientation. What then is the
motive? It is to relieve rage, which cannot be directed toward the actual source, perhaps long dead or at least buried in the subconscious, but in any direction that results in an emotional catharsis. The scapegoat, screaming and bloody or
perhaps pleading for mercy and life, is viewed, at least subconsciously, as the father figure or whomever was dominant
and arbitrary in the past. As the true cause of the rage is in fact not addressed, this catharsis is short lived and yet
another scapegoat is sought.

ZetaTalk: Holocaust Denial
Note: written on May 15, 1997
The many scenes of the holocaust are vivid and compelling, and continue to appear afresh in print, the horror
undiminished over time. The holocaust horrors are likewise well documented, as where millions of neighbors are
dragged off there are likewise millions of neighbors left behind to remember the circumstances. And where numerous
gas chambers and concentration camps have train loads of hollow eyed and stick starved Jews moving toward the gas
chambers and only the smoky smell of death and piles of gold fillings jerked from the teeth of the dead emerging from
the camps, there can scarcely be any doubt as to the activity going on. However, the fact that the holocaust is vivid and well documented is one of the reasons for a holocaust denial.
In short, the more horrible the event, the more guilt one bears toward this or similar situations, the more likely denial will be used to deal with the discomfort the event engenders. Denial of horrific events is so common as to be almost an
everyday event in human lives. The ease with which the conscious mind of humans can sever memories so the mental
pathways are not traveled readily adds to this, as it is a ready route to be taken by those who want to forget or put an
alternate story into place. Those responsible for an accident begin to think that the victim himself caused it, thus
relieving themselves of responsibility. Those responsible for a crime likewise excuse themselves by blaming the
victim.
This tendency is one reason the most heinous crimes, such as the mass rape of a young girl, can be turned around to be
her responsibility. She was flirtatious, and brought it all down upon herself. By this all men who turned an eye toward
a vulnerable girl and pondered having her in a helpless state are relieved of responsibility for the acts that such
thoughts might engender. They tell themselves that they are not the perpetrators, even in their thoughts, as the victim was guilty. Likewise the holocaust is often explained away as something the Jews brought down upon themselves, due
to being financially and professionally successful. Then engendered jealously, so they had it coming to them! If this
does not fly as an excuse, then the holocaust never happened. Those wishing to deny that thoughts can turn into
action, and that they share the thoughts that the perpetrators held, will even cling to the absurd rather than discomfit
themselves.

ZetaTalk: Forgiving
Note: written on Sep 15, 1995
Forgiving someone who has injured one involves two parties - the injured and the perpetrator.
Circumstances may be such that the injury was an accident and the perpetrator horrified and asking what they can do
to make amends. In this case the path to forgiveness is already paved with possibilities, and the injured has but to
specify what is required to make amends and the two parties will begin to heal each other. Circumstances may be such
that the injury was an accident but the perpetrator in denial. Nothing has happened, and even if it did it wasn't their
fault. In this case forgiving the injury must take place on separate paths, with the injured coming to terms with the
accident as just that - an accident. The perpetrator has already forgiven himself, as he wasn't there and there is nothing to forgive. Circumstances may also be such that the injury was deliberate, but was a result of a disagreement, a fight,
and fault lies all around. One was pushed beyond his limits and lashed out. One was steadily tortured until a dark
mood overtook him. In these cases forgiveness usually progresses rapidly, as both parties are clearly cognizant of the
