By naming the poison they attract it. They become, with full inner knowledge, vessels, or rather channels through which the poison can be to some extent ejected. Obviously this does not end the matter. But through them and their apparent destruction the poison is seen and recognized for what it is. Only then, in your system does this inner necessary realization come, because of the exterior circumstances.

The acts are attempts to solve problems. They are often attempts to rid the mass psyche of exploding, misdirected, poorly understood aggressions. As a physical organism tries to thrust out poisons that impede its health, so the mass psyche organism, symbolically speaking, attempts to rid itself of this now-poisonous overdeveloped aggression.

The physical organism forms weak points through which the poison can be ejected. In order to save itself as a functioning unit, it sacrifices a portion of itself. The same thing happens with the mass psyche. Certain individuals are peculiarly suited for this function, because of their own inner background, the aggregate result of strong challenges they have set for themselves.
