Gary: The news sucks us into seeing someone
else as the guilty party - whether it's the terrorists, the politicians
and their witch hunts, those people who are guilty of crimes, or at
least whomever the prosecutors and the news media want us
to believe are guilty - because getting us to project our guilt onto
others is good for certain careers and ratings. On some talk shows, the
game is about who ever can put other people down the best. On the news,
the more problems they can get us to worry about, the better. All of
this keeps our minds running wild.
Arten: Precisely, which is
exactly what the ego wants. As the Course teaches you,
'...Preoccupations with problems set up to be incapable of solution are
favorite ego devices for impeding learning progress. In all these
diversionary tactics, however, the one question that is never asked by
those who pursue them is, "What for?" This is the question that you must
learn to ask in connection with everything. What is the purpose?
Whatever it is, it will direct your efforts automatically.'
Gary: The purpose should be forgiveness and the Atonement.
