When we think about World War II what usually comes to mind is the Holocaust, and the atrocities committed by the Nazi regime. However, those are just the possible negative outcomes we may observe as a result of the cult of hate and supremacy of race. The most dangerous characteristic of the Nazi regime is discrimination, which is ancient and still present in the society we are part of. The Nazi regime was just one tip of the iceberg related to the discriminatory acts we are still observing all around the globe, which are the results of the hidden presence of darkness everywhere. The more we are aware of the presence of darkness, achieving clarity of mind to recognise and identify the source of negative conditioning we are subjected to, the more we understand that—apart from dealing with and understanding our own suffering—discrimination is the most dangerous threat we have to deal with, as it is the negative outcome of the chaotic root of darkness, which is best known as hatred culture.
When we start being conscious of the presence of darkness in the environment we are inserted into, the association with Nazism and the old-fashioned Neo-Nazi ideologies becomes vivid and clear to the mind. Why? It’s because discrimination is still present in the society we are part of, which implies that discriminatory movements such as Nazism still have unconscious followers walking among us and committing discriminatory acts with either the sense of impunity, or the ability to bend the laws to characterise discrimination as something else, such as psychological illnesses with no scientific background. If we establish a direct relation between a gas chamber and a psychiatric institution, we have almost the same result: destroying the lives entering those aforementioned facilities. The difference is that putting a person into a gas chamber to be poisoned is prohibited and against the law, while putting a person into a psychiatric institution to be poised with psychiatric drugs, and sometimes receiving electroshocks, is totally acceptable by the society we are part of. The negative outcome has almost no difference. If a person survives, it will result in lifetime side-effects derived from the catastrophic treatment they have received within those discriminatory facilities.
If we think about psychiatric institutions, they existed prior to the period of World War II. However, it would not be easy to justify putting all Jewish people within those facilities. The war, which implies establishing martial laws during the period of a given conflict, was a way of committing crimes against humanity with little or no need to provide any additional explanation.
The moment we realise what is in the surroundings, it is the moment we understand that facing darkness, and dealing with the negative conditioning we are subjected to, requires keeping consciousness at hand and attaining higher levels of peace of mind no matter the circumstances.
