To Be In Exile

CAVEAT: you do not need to have religion to understand the metaphor here.

Are the perennial attempts from all-comers across history, including the latest, to destroy Israel, an archetype?

That is, a primordial dark force, within all of us, which casts a shadow and blocks out the light - the core idea that all my problems with the world can be solved, if I stop creating them in the first place. It's the kind of idea even a child can understand, but adults refuse to contemplate for even a moment. 

What kind of power can do that?

This dark force is the temptation, to escape from confessing to this observed fact that my world will improve immediately, if only I were to stop creating all the problems I complain about so bitterly. 

It's much easier to 'escape' and blame my problems - to project them - onto whatever in the external world they will most easily stick. Israel being a common candidate. 

Which we can observe happening once again. The siamese twin of this shadow is a veil of planet saving,  a crooked ideal which is high sounding and makes me look good, hoping no one will see my trickery - and we have the doctrine of climate change, the race card, DEI hiring, woke victimhood and so on and so on.

To Be in Exile. It's a concept of a "God in exile from a false creation". 

This concept in myth and symbol, refers to the belief that the physical world is a corrupt and flawed creation, a mistake - and a divine spark of true divinity is trapped within it, in exile from its true home.

The dark force which persistently tries to destroy an weaker material world target is easy to sell to the even weaker via this dark force. 

And has succeeded in avoiding the light inside. 

To blame others, and not to look inside for the answer is a much cosier place to live on the earth. And others doing the same will give me credit for that
