          USP-060  'Destroying what he fails to help'


Understanding Suppression Series # 60

(See Footnote for understanding)



One of many definitions of 'Suppressive Person':

Someone who wants to destroy others BECAUSE he can't help them.

When he can't help someone, his inability - and with that, his
overall intention NOT to help others - is coming into view.

This 'proof of his own evil' must be destroyed, he thinks, because he
wants to keep a good opinion of himself.


Destroying proof of his own evil is a major occupation of a
Suppressive Person - he cannot differentiate between his good
intentions and his evil intentions, and so he "is all good" or he is
"all bad" - neither of which is true, of course.

He does not have too much trouble keeping a good opinion of himself:
When he did something evil, he is still "all good", because it wasn't
really him when he did something evil - so that does not count
against his being "all good".
Or it was a "necessary evil", which also does not count against him
being "all good".


"When he is 'all good', he can live and be happy and operate", and
"when he is 'all bad' he must kill himself".

And so it is of the utmost importance to a Suppressive Person that he
attacks and destroys any source that challenges his "all good"-opinion
of himself.


This is why Vincent van Gogh tried to murder his friend Gauguin.

Vincent wanted to help Gauguin to do better painting.
Vincent ALSO wanted to live a degraded existence with no sales of his
paintings.

Gauguin did NOT want to lead a degraded existence and did not want to
continue to live on the very little money given to them occasionally
by the brother of Vincent.

And so Gauguin "rejected the help that Vincent gave him", when Gauguin
told Vincent that he wanted to leave.

Therefore Gauguin must be murdered, because he shows - by going away -
that Vincent DOES want to lead a degraded life and, much worse, does
want that Gauguin ALSO leads a degraded life without having his work
sold.


The "love for people" that Vincent van Gogh was supposed to have
- according to the evergreen-song by Don McLean about Vincent - is
that Vincent wanted to murder his friends!
(see also
  USP-047 'Trying to murder actual friends - Van Gogh' of 18 Mar 94
  http://Art-Org.com/ri-bulletins/usp-047i.htm )

Vincent was a great painter, but the quality of actually having love
and care for people existed only in his imagination, not in reality.


The definition in this issue - as do most of the definitions in the
Understanding Suppression Series - does point in the direction of a
remedy. The remedy lies in the subject of help.

Footnote:

You can't have or maintain good without understanding evil.

NONE of the present sciences, therapies and religions, and
none of the "-isms" or "-ologies" of today understand evil
or suppression.

Yet they have abundant - and sometimes very expensive -
recipes for "being good forever". Even when they claim to
understand evil, they want to be unaware of and hide their
own evil and so they become evil themselves, and they meet
evil with evil in order "to defend themselves or their group".

It is not possible to handle properly someone who is evil or
something that is evil WITHOUT understanding WHAT PRECISELY
you are handling.

YOU CAN'T HANDLE AN EVIL BEING, FOR INSTANCE, UNLESS YOU
UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE HANDLING A BEING, AND THAT YOU ARE
HELPING HIM - A BEING - TO CONTROL HIS EVIL.

The Understanding Suppression Series will help you - maybe
for the first time - to understand evil well enough in order
to maintain good. I have taken care to write as easy to
understand as possible. The Series starts out very simple,
and currently consists of about 150 separate observations.

Keeping this knowledge to yourself will not maintain good
- because others, lacking understanding of evil, will
unintentionally assist evil - but you sharing this knowledge
with others WILL make you win over evil, and WILL safeguard
good.
