Tragedy of Stable Defense: Limits of the Effectiveness of Religions using the Example of Herta B. Bertel

This article examines the psychological and metaphysical boundaries of spiritual transformation. Using the case study of Herta Brigitte Bertel (born Krug), the author analyzes the "narcissistic armor" and structural deficits that prevent the attainment of religious ideals such as Metanoia and transcendence. The work contrasts the "frozen" bourgeois facade with the potential for change in convicted criminals, highlighting the necessity of symbolization to break the cycle of transgenerational trauma. The author, a FIDE Master of Chess Composition, utilizes this analysis as a vicarious symbolic processing of a wordless past.

Abstract

This article examines the psychological and metaphysical boundaries of spiritual transformation. Using the case study of Herta Brigitte Bertel (born Krug), the author analyzes the "narcissistic armor" and structural deficits that prevent the attainment of religious ideals such as Metanoia and transcendence. The work contrasts the "frozen" bourgeois facade with the potential for change in convicted criminals, highlighting the necessity of symbolization to break the cycle of transgenerational trauma. The author, a FIDE Master of Chess Composition, utilizes this analysis as a vicarious symbolic processing of a wordless past. Birthname: Herta Brigitte Krug, married since 1977 Herta Bertel (Salzburg, Landeskrankenhaus Salzburg (SALK) - Universitätsklinikum der PMU * Tuesday, 21.12.1943 - † City of Salzburg, Hellbrunner Str. 7/b 5020 Salzburg on Friday, 12.04.2024 at 15:37, hour of death) Description of their appearance Herta Bertel (born Krug) had black hair and was very slim. She had a gaunt face and was usually very serious, melancholy and sad. She could rarely laugh. She was married to Dr. Michael Bertel (born 09.06.1944) until her death.
