Psalms

I could believe without a doubt Patsy Ramsey thought along those lines, that she was untouchable into the bargain because she was protected by her religous rights.

 

25:14The Lord confides in those who fear him;

 

27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation -

27:6 ... at his tabernacle I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;

 

28:1 To you I call, O Lord my rock;

28:2 Hear my cry for mercy as I call for you for help.

 

30:2 O Lord I called to you for help

30:8 To you, O Lord; I called;

 

31: ... deliver me in your righteousness.

31:15 ... deliver me from my enemies

31:22 ... when I called to you for help.

 

32:7 ... and surround me with songs of deliverance.

32: I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;

 

33:17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;

33:19 ... to deliver them from death

 

34:4 ... he delivered me from all my fears.

34:7 ... and he delivers them.

34:17 ... he delivers them from all their troubles.

34:9 ... but the Lord delivers him form them all;

 

35:3 "I am your salvation."

35:9 Then my soul will rejoice and delight in his salvation.

 

37:39 The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord;

37:40 The Lord helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,

 

39:8 Save me from all my transgressions;

 

40:6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but my ears you have pierced; burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.

40:10 ... I speak of you faithfulness and salvation.

40:13 Be pleased, O Lord to save me;

40:16 ... may those who love your salvation always say,

40:17 You are my help and my deliverer;

 

you must follow our instructions to the letter.

You will withdraw 118

I will call you

to instruct you on delivery.

The delivery will be exhausting

we might call you to arrange an earlier delivery

and hence a earlier delivery [crossed out]

Any deviations from my instructions

she dies

she dies

she dies

killing

Follow our instructions

killing

Victory!

Saved By The Cross

 

There are repeated themes in The Psalms that show up in the ransom note; instructions, saving, deliverance, victory, death and calling.

A major theme from The Psalms also is a part of the Prime of Miss Jean Brodie; "The gang who oppose me shall not succeed." As well as the themes of confiding and insight.

The connection to mythic literature is common to many murders committed by psychotics. This evidence is clear in the Ramsey case and is an indication that the murder was not the result of an accident.

 

I can see why you arrive at your verdict, Paradox, but if Patsy Ramsey was hell bent in sacrifiing JonBenét, and feeling right within herself at doing this, why bother with a ransom note if she felt she was on her religious track in her crazed mind? Shouldn't she have been singing "Hallelujah!" until the white van arrived to haul her away?

Having said this, surely John Ramsey himself would have known his wife was not quite herself, if she was prone to having manic attacks? Plus with all that had to be done before they left for Charlevoix early the next morning, don't you think Patsy would have arranged sacrificing her little lamb at a more convenient time?

 

You can't judge a psychosis by rational parameters. Patsy was not Hell bent on sacrificing JonBenet. She was Hell bent on saving her fantasy. For that she had to control the integral object to the point of taking the object out of the material world and into the imaginative world completely. To do this the living object had to stop living. Patsy turned a living child into an angel so that she had complete freedom to fantisize about her.

John and anyone else around Patsy would not have noticed anything unusuall because Patsy was just being Patsy. She was manic mcuh of the time and described often as being over the top. A person would have to be very observant and educated to see the acceleration in mania.

As far as arranging the time, she didn't, it was arranged by the literature.

There was a split mind at work here. It's my opinion that Patsy held back what was coming as best she could until the deadline was at hand. At that time the latent persona took over.

 

Sorry Paradox, but I think it is you who are fantasizing here, projecting the scenarios of your vivid imagination into Patsy's mind.

 

Good post, Elle. I couldn't agree more.

 

41:1 ... the Lord delivers him in times of trouble.

41:11 ... for my enemy does not triumph over me.
