DWQA QuestionsCategory: MetaphysicsFrankl wrote: “Freud once said, ‘Try and subject a number of strongly differentiated human beings to the same amount of starvation. With the increase of the imperative need for food, all individual differences will be blotted out, and, in their place, we shall see the uniform expression of the one unsatisfied instinct.'” But Frankl by dint of direct experience, not supposition, knew better: “But in the concentration camps, we witnessed the contrary; we saw while faced with the identical situation, one man degenerated while another attained virtual saintliness.” Freud’s is the atheist’s “untested” perspective, and one we assume is shared by the interlopers. What is Creator’s perspective?

Indeed, the view of Freud is quite dystopian and very much a frequent theme of fiction and motion picture depictions of dystopian societies, and their bleak hopelessness that are always created by the power flowing to the top, so eventually the masses of people are on their own, left to live by their wits with meager resources and capabilities, in a downward spiral of poverty and lawlessness because no power is left to do good to counter the imbalance. What Frankl witnessed in the death camps on the part of heroic inmates attending to others offering some nurturing, bits of food, help to prop them up so they would not be selected for extermination just yet, but were only weak with a bout of illness, for example, but could be saved. This took something away from the helpers, but this is divinity on the march when people give of themselves when it hurts. What was truly taking place is even deeper than acts of divine alignment. This was the divine acting through those humanitarians as a force for good and, in the doing, helping to support them at least enough to keep them going. This is a miracle by your perspective, and such miracles are not always perceived or appreciated at the time but that, indeed, is why some people seem saintly even while present in the mouth of hell with little hope for their own personal survival but still took time to help others. This is the measure of who you are. Those few at any point in history, including this very moment, who are doing God's work, are simply being who they are. It is all the others who are still asleep, unaware of their origin and their destiny, who are being sidelined and unwitting victims of their disconnection that imperils them. What needs to happen is to not rely on a few awake and enlightened lightworkers, but for a grand awakening of many, many people to see the ongoing folly of human civilization’s poor choices, and demand a change in things and, in particular, reach out to the divine for help to be raised up and become more effective as human beings and advocates for divine truth—they will be heroes as well.
