“If education is actually to be understood as a process of assimilation to the type of person in a group or to a community ideal (Hoffmeister 1955: 217), then it should be dispensed with entirely in the sense of an emancipatory idea.”

- Alice Miller

( Editor's note: Emancipatory efforts can also be exaggerated. The result would then be a society that tries to exploit each other ruthlessly in (typically capitalist) competition ).

The presence of micro-thrombosis in the brains of "vaccinated" people is just one of the reasons why it is generally so difficult to convey to people the real system changes. Even those who have understood it often do not understand the depth and significance of the problem. In this article you can find other reasons why some people have become practically incapable of learning about the political-medical fraud and cannot believe anything that is beyond their own horizons.

Everything from A to Z was a fraud, both the "pandemic" and the "SARS-CoV-2 virus" and the allegedly resulting "Covid" disease. Today, almost 5 years later, some people still cannot believe that this fraud could have been so well-prepared and politically organized on such a broad scale for over 20 years. Here, you will learn the second reason for the disbelief that those in the know have to deal with in their circle of friends and family. It is the neurotic urge of some people to conform.

People who have believed all their lives in a certain reliability of the political and economic system, despite some evidence of corruption, falsely expect the continuity of the system structure they know. With today's sudden system change, they find it difficult to accept that the previous reference points and clearly formulated ethical requirements that made our lives worth living are no longer officially valid. The biggest problem arises when, in certain cases, an intrapsychic (internal) moral system has never been established and instead only the external reference points are taken into account. In the absence of inner moral principles, what is said by the authorities becomes a guideline that can offer a form of substitute support to an internally confused physician.

Their previous adaptation to the system, which has always brought them advantages and recognition from society, has sometimes required them to make small and inconspicuous sacrifices to accepted morality. In medicine, the system did not suddenly demand that doctors abandon accepted ethical principles. It did so gradually, requiring doctors to abandon their care in treating illnesses by burdening them with extreme bureaucratic duties and a lot of paperwork. Was this a coincidence or was it controlled from the very top as part of the more than 20-year preparation of the “Covid” fraud? A simple international comparison of countries could provide clues to the answer. In Germany, the harmful behaviour developed only slowly, so that one doctor or another did not become a social pest overnight, and many have remained true to their principles to this day. They watch as their opportunistic colleagues can treat patients much more quickly and earn more money, but this does not shock anyone who knows the deceptions of daily life and knows what can really make you happy. Money alone cannot achieve this.

The abandonment of moral principles always finds a quasi-plausible explanation, because one's own need has always been the mother of the inventive spirit. "Otherwise, medicine would be unprofitable and the method of treatment impracticable" is often the simple self-excuse when medical help is provided without the necessary care and, for example, chemical poisons are used for mild respiratory diseases. Doctors have little time to do detailed research to weigh up the benefits and risks of medication, or, if the Porsche is not yet paid off, no time at all.

Under such adverse circumstances, many doctors did not realize in time what the health system now demands of them. It seems that people's imagination is rarely prepared for sudden system changes to be able to realize quickly enough what this is all about. Many doctors and civil servants continue to do what they have done before, without realizing that people are now not only easily taken advantage of by the system, which has become psychopathic, but are actually being killed or damaged for life.

And some doctors, including some I know personally, don't even seem to care. They know that the courts are still on their side because the bacillus of conformity has taken hold there too. They believe that they can do anything that helps their salary because it is no longer punishable.

Alice Miller never wrote about such deadly and completely psychopathic conformity because, like many of us, she could not imagine that such covert euthanasia (in most cases, a reduction in life expectancy by damaging the immune system) could be possible. Her quotes in the article do not directly concern conformity, but I have highlighted those lines in thicker and larger font that indirectly point to the roots of excessive and completely neurotic conformity to a system that has become psychopathic.

This article highlights Alice Miller's key insights, which are surprisingly close to our post-2020 reality.

Alice Miller - on neurotic conformity

---

After many wrong turns, Alice Miller uses her own repressed memories to recognize a mechanism that she sees as effective for many people and that becomes the key to understanding many psychological problems.

In the psychoanalytic sense, it's about experiences from early childhood. The small child is existentially dependent on a good relationship with adults who first and foremost meet his physical needs. This means that the child actively responds to the needs and feelings of the caregivers from the beginning of their life and tries to satisfy them. [1] It can happen that the child never gets to know their own needs and feelings or grant them their own rights. What is striking is that many of the people affected by this later emphasize very emphatically that they had a happy childhood. For Alice Miller, this repression of one's own needs is the root of massive but largely unnoticed psychological damage.

Let's start with the parents: Alice Miller certainly understands the reasons why parents treat their children the way they do. It sounds paradoxical: since they themselves were hurt in their childhood, they do the same to their children. Precisely because one's own suffering is repressed , one inflicts the same suffering on others (Miller 1988: 101). "Especially mothers who were victims of a similar injury in their childhood and keep it in denial are blind and deaf to their children's situation. They cannot bear to be reminded of their own story and abandon the child ." (ibid.: 105).

So what exactly is it about? Alice Miller writes about abuse - and she doesn't limit this term only to sexual forms, but even the "light" influences mentioned above in the direction of suppressing the children's own development of needs are referred to in this way. Of course, she primarily analyzes the physical violence prevalent in previous generations and how this is transmitted from generation to generation through these mechanisms of repressing one's own feelings.

She criticizes Freud and the other psychoanalysts for having already had this knowledge, but also for suppressing it and keeping it secret.

In addition to direct physical violence, Miller also describes the disastrous effect of withdrawal of love as a form of abuse (cf. Miller 1988: 226). This also includes “punishment (dressage) with looks”, a lack of respect, compulsory control, manipulation and pressure to perform (Miller 1979: 21, 141). "You sometimes hear mothers proudly say that their infants have learned to suppress hunger and, lovingly distracted, wait quietly for feeding time." (Miller 1979: 79).

This manipulative, physically non-violent "white pedagogy" (Miller 1980: 113) is not excused by Alice Miller: "A person who slaps or hits or deliberately insults knows that he is hurting the other person. He is "Not clueless. But how often have our parents and ourselves been clueless to our children about how painfully, how deeply and how profoundly we have injured their budding selves." (Miller 1979: 116).

Alice Miller describes her own situation :

The discovery that I was an abused child, that from the very beginning of my life I had to respond to my mother's needs and feelings and that I had no chance of feeling my own, came as a great surprise to me. (Miller 1988: 14)

My mother found my most natural needs to be annoying demands. How could I, sent into the world with this equipment, have felt what I really required? How could I have learned to satisfy these needs? I learned that they were dangerous because the desire for satisfaction was bound to lead to catastrophe. The catastrophe, the great danger, was my mother's anger and the revelation of her lovelessness. So I tried with all my might to suppress my needs for care, warmth, and understanding so as not to have to see what my mother was really like to me, to maintain the illusion of her love for me.

I hoped that if I didn't need anything and sacrificed my life for others, I would eventually get love. But love cannot be earned, neither through self-denial nor through achievements. You get them in the cradle or not. I finally had to realize that I had not received this gift as a child." (ibid.: 211f.)

Alice Miller describes it as “probably the greatest narcissistic [2] Wound - not being loved for what you were." (Miller, 1979: 139). In the double-bind vicious circle between parents and child, the child is shown, on the one hand, "a lack of respect, of interest in the unique being that is independent of the needs of the parents" and, on the other hand, "caresses [...] if the child is considered part of the child Experienced yourself." (Miller 1980: 233)

The pattern of such relationships is not as rare as one would like. [4] Miller describes the connections (Miller, 1979: 23f.) :

1. There was a fundamentally emotionally insecure mother who was narcissistic for her ^[2] Balance was dependent on a certain behavior or way of being on the part of the child.[...]

2. had an astonishing in addition, the child ability to sense and respond to this need of the mother or both parents intuitively, i.e. also unconsciously, that is, to take on the function unconsciously assigned to it. (This ability also gives Miller's book "The Drama of the Gifted Child" its title.) A child "may learn very early on how he was not allowed to feel if he did not want to jeopardize his mother's love." (Miller 1979: 80)

3. This function secured "love" for the child, that is, in this case, narcissistic love ^[2] Occupation by parents. It felt that it was needed, and that gave its life security.

The astonishing “talent” of even the smallest child appears primarily unconscious. Two unconscious factors intertwine here: The needs that the parents project onto the child are usually also unconscious to them - and the child reacts to them unconsciously.

Through this adjustment, the child loses access to their own needs and feelings. The early childhood feeling of abandonment is not really experienced, but rather denied and repressed. At most, it then comes to the surface in the form of psychological problems (especially depression, which is often compensated for by other disorders), but even then it is usually systematically misjudged. Alice Miller writes: "If these vital needs of the child are frustrated, if the child is instead exploited for the needs of adults, beaten, punished, abused, manipulated, neglected, cheated, without ever the intervention of a witness, the integrity of the child is compromised permanently injured. The normal reaction to the injury would be anger and pain, but since anger is forbidden to the child in the hurtful environment and since the experience of pain would be unbearable in loneliness, it has to suppress these feelings and the memory of the trauma repress and idealize his attackers. Later he doesn't know what was done to him." (Miller 1980: 13) Probably the most disastrous effect, even for otherwise healthy people, is the inadequate sense of self, that is, the lack of an "undoubted certainty that the feelings and desires felt belong to one's own self" (Miller 1979: 60).

There are estimates that one in seven people is unable to put their emotions into words (Berthoz 2005: 56) - Alice Miller would add that these feelings are probably often not developed at all. There is also a technical term for this emotional blindness: alexithmia. Here, at least the connection between the emotionally responsive areas in the brain and those that form concepts is not sufficiently developed. The cause of such developments is seen in early childhood.

Alice Miller found that her views met with strong resistance. Once she encountered the basic pattern, she became sensitive to any form of soft manipulation that makes it extremely difficult for the child to escape forced conformity with no alternative. She also had to swim against the tide in mainstream society.

"... but everywhere I look I see the commandment to respect parents, but nowhere that commandment requires respect for the child." (Miller 1980: 302)

---

Alice Miller's therapy focuses primarily on making the injuries from childhood conscious against all resistance. This also includes mourning what you didn't get as a child, which can't really be made up for.

"Can a person experience, in a long process, that he was never "loved" as the child he was, but for his achievements, successes and qualities, that he sacrificed his childhood for this "love", so this will lead him to great inner shock,

but one day he will feel the desire to stop this courtship. He will discover within himself the need to live his true self and no longer have to earn love, a love that impresses him Basically leaves him empty-handed because it belongs to the false self that he has begun to give up." (Miller 1979: 94)

In her early work "In the Beginning Was Education" (1980), Alice Miller assumes that the affected child will later be able to understand the adults and their motives. Understanding what has happened is particularly important so that you do not repeat these behavioral patterns yourself. Alice Miller emphasizes that it is necessary to allow anger to arise (this is exactly what was systematically forbidden in childhood - especially under penalty of withdrawal of love). But ultimately this could also lead to forgiveness (Miller 1980: 286).
She later takes the position that “forgiveness must clearly be rejected because it inevitably prevents the success of any therapy” (Miller 1988: 193). Forgiving would also keep the morality exercised by the parents within their rights. Forgiveness would also restore the old pattern of prioritizing the parent's needs (not wanting to be hated, not wanting to be blamed) over the child's feelings (really hating). Alice Miller, on the other hand, says: "The repressed, unconscious hatred has a destructive effect, but the hatred experienced is not poison, but one of the ways out of the trap of dissimulation, hypocrisy or open destruction." (ibid.: 198)

Editor's note:

I sometimes notice that particularly nice people suffer from chronic illnesses. I ask myself whether a spontaneous cure or improvement of the symptoms would occur if the pleasant person were to feel their anger now and then and give it some space. The proverbial "banging on the table" comes to mind at this point. You can learn how to deal with your own feelings spontaneously from your pets. I am not ashamed to say that I have learned a lot from both my dogs and my cats. If you see your own children as small, clever beings and don't necessarily see yourself as the only clever "Socrates" around, then of course that is also possible. For decades, I have suspected that expressing your own genuine feelings is very closely linked to health, and that both are interdependent.

However, our working conditions and the entire culture very often stand in the way of this. As we go through life, we seem to lose our intuition, perhaps to the extent that we replace what we want with what we should or must do. Could this kind of conditioning, when we are forced to shut out our true feelings, be the secret of our belief in authority and the Stockholm syndrome? It is conceivable.

………………………………

Alice Miller repeatedly encounters people who were exposed to similar damaging behavior from their parents but did not develop any problems. Almost everyone was lucky enough to have met at least one "knowing witness" (ibid.: 214) who felt their suffering and gave them the confirmation they so desperately needed. "Only through the experience of being loved and valued can the child identify cruelty as such, perceive it and rebel against it." (ibid.: 249) Some people find such people in their lives - for others, a psychoanalyst who knows about these connections and does not turn to the person concerned again in a pedagogical and moralizing manner can be such an accompanying person. (Miller 1983: 72) This therapist must break away from the unconscious identification with the educator and consciously identify with the mute child in the patient (ibid.: 73). This also requires turning away from “black” psychoanalysis, which is influenced by drive theory. ^[3] Alice Miller sees the task as “the search for the reality of early childhood without sparing the parents” (ibid.: 325)

Editor's note: Religion often gets in the way of us being able to see the "monsters" in our parents and thus see the reality. This does not seem to be particularly helpful in healing.

……………………

Alice Müller presents some aspects that are essential for taking into account the independent emotional world of a child (Miller 1979: 183):

1. The child is always innocent ( Editor's note: Isn't this statement a disparagement of children's intelligence? )

2. Every child has essential needs, including safety, security, protection, touch, truthfulness, warmth and tenderness.

3. These needs are rarely met, but are often exploited by adults for their own purposes.

4. The abuse has lifelong consequences.

5. ( ... )

I think we can be happy that direct physical violence and "black pedagogy" are no longer recognized and accepted as normal behavior and are therefore reduced to a certain extent.

However, since society nevertheless needs people who, if possible, do not question what is given and instead develop their own needs in a one-sided way, the manipulative influences that appear more unconscious are probably increasing. In a society in which nothing is simply given, but "everything has to be earned", the evil of manipulation through withdrawal of love as stated by Alice Miller will occur very frequently. But it is difficult to point out this indirect damage, especially when those affected themselves suppress and deny it. If we set out on this arduous journey, we will suffer and grieve - but we will finally be able to learn to feel for ourselves.

[1] The existential importance of maternal care has been highlighted in many studies, most notably by Bowlby in 1952. According to this, "withdrawal of mother's love in early childhood can have far-reaching effects on a person's mental health and personality development" (Bowlby 1952: 21). Alice Miller writes that "the child's spiritual nourishment comes from the understanding and respect of his primary caregiver" (Miller 1983: 375).

[2] By narcissism, A. Miller does not mean excessive self-love. In her opinion, the feared accusation of egoism often prevents self-discovery. She understands “healthy narcissism” to mean the “ideal case of genuine liveliness, free access to the true self, to real feelings.” (Miller 1979: 11)

[3] The Freudian drive theory prescribes "that the patient's reports about his childhood should be viewed as his fantasies, which originate from his drive conflicts and not from real experiences" (Miller 1983: 271). Before 1897, Freud was shocked to discover that hysteria is usually related to the repression of sexual abuse in early childhood. In September of the same year, he defused this insight by inventing the Oedipus complex, which psychoanalysis could live with without addressing the real abuse - indeed, it even helped to continue to cover it up and thereby manipulate those affected again. Because the person concerned is persuaded that everything comes from his fantasies, which expose repressed desires, the helpless child is blamed and the powerful parents are again defended (ibid.: 395). Miller calls this “black psychoanalysis” in analogy to “black pedagogy”.

[4] Helm Stierlin also addresses such processes as disturbances in the subject-object dialectic (Stierlin 1971: 80ff, 98.; Stierlin 1974: 54).
