Watching Benjamin Netanyahu's speech
to Congress I see a classical projection of one's shadow onto
the 'totally demonized other', Iran in this case. He creates an
apocalyptic tirade that competes with any Armageddon imagery.
Obviously, Israel's collective fears are rational but the
Prime Minister appears to have lost himself to the
full flow of unchecked emotional energies.

This
kind of outpouring of 'all or nothing-ism' by a world leader
can be contagious. Heaven knows he was speaking to some in congress
who are very primed to step into his horrific proportions 'all or
nothing' worldwide ' we vs them'. He builds a conspiracy theory
which forbids acknowledging any benefit to rational discussion of
differences and he wants no kind of agreement with Iran, even one
that would limit their capacity to have nuclear weapons. Of course he
would never be interested in reducing his U.S. sponsored nuclear
arsenal.
This is an excellent example of C.G. Jung's ideas of how the eternal archetypes, emotional causing patterns in our Collective Unconscious, stimulate the individual and collective psyche, initially at an unconscious level. This causes dangerous situations in outer reality when persons do not question but instead give such emotions free course in their attitude and speech. It is disturbing to hear such 'all or nothing, good vs evil' doomsday talk coming from Israel's Prime Minister. The speech sounds parallel to the Bush/Cheney mind set that led to the rushed bombing of Iraq in the Spring of 2003,
Only higher levels of consciousness and owning ones own shadow by all parties can prevent tragedies this kind of rhetoric, with the prompting of unconscious forces, is ginning up to bring into physical reality. We should be quite concerned that Prime Minister Netanyahu would choose to stimulate our polarized political situation even more by injecting his toxic one-sided ideas of good vs evil.
