The recent destruction of public historical statues on a social scale in the American South is functionally identical to the operation of psychic repression in an individual. While the destruction of statues is in the service of eliminating the memory of America’s historical past – a symptom of social armor – forgetfulness is in the service of eliminating the person’s past, a symptom of individual armor. Both have in common the removal of painful or unpleasant past experiences and memories.
Fueled by their personal hatred of authority and rationalized as the freedom of social protest against past American injustices, confused young Americans raised in today’s anti-authoritarian social order are driven to rid themselves of painful experiences from their individual lives by displacing their personal hatreds onto the social realm in many ways including by the destruction of historical statues.
This illustration is given as an example of how applying the knowledge of Social Orgonomy to what is currently happening in America can be of help in shedding light on the operation of the emotional plague and containing it’s destructive consequences in today’s world.
The American College of Orgonomy is providing lectures open to the public on topics dealing with medical and social orgonomy. Interested individuals can contact the College’s website at http://www.orgonomy.org for more information.
