verywhere we look — in the newspapers, TV,
and even in our own personal lives, we see ex-
amples of egregiously hurt victims. We read,
for example, that at least one out of every five adults in
America today was either physically or sexually abused
as a child. TV news confirms that rape and murder are
commonplace in our communities and crime against
people and property is rampant everywhere. Around
the world we see torture, repression, incarceration,
genocide, and open warfare occurring on a vast scale.
Over a period of ten years, since I began doing for-
giveness workshops, cancer retreats and corporate
seminars, I have heard enough horror stories from quite
ordinary people to convince me that there is not a hu-
man being on the planet that has not been seriously
victimized at least once, and in minor ways more times
than they could count. Who among us could say they
have never blamed someone else for their lack of hap-
piness? For most, if not all of us, that is simply a way
of life.
Indeed, the victim archetype is deeply engrained in all
of us, and it exerts great power in the mass conscious-
ness. For eons we have been playing out victimhood
in every aspect of our lives, convincing ourselves that
victim consciousness is absolutely fundamental to the
human condition. The time has come to ask ourselves
the question — how can we stop creating our lives this
way and let go of the victim archetype as the model of
how to live our lives?
To break free from such a powerful archetype, we must
replace it with something
