"}part of the reason I find Waco so fascinating is the symbolism of it all.
the cult leader who claimed to be christ, shot in the side and the hand.
the predictions and prophecies of an end-times battle with the government that came to pass much as he predicted.
the rain of burning bible pages in the fire.
the singed textbook about the fourth amendment found in the rubble.
the recordings of rabbits being slaughtered, played for days before 25 children died in the fire.
the ATF operation was code named “showtime”
like, this would all be kind of on the nose if it was a movie, but it was a real thing that actually happened. it’s interesting when there’s that much synchronicity. Jung argued that synchronicities are the way that unconscious material is brought to conscious awareness, such as an archetype being expressed.
it’s thought-provoking.
