Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a
fall. Proverbs 16:18
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in
his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable
works, there is none that doeth good. The LORD looked down from heaven
upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek
God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none
that doeth good, no, not one. Psalms 14:1-3
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be
wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the
wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the
wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of
the wise, that they are vain. 1 Corinthians 3:18-20
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit
which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of
God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth,
but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are
foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually
discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is
judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may
instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:12-16
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness;
but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I
will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding
of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the
disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased
God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the
Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach
Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks
foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ
the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is
wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see
your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many
mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things
of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the
world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and
things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to
bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. 1
Corinthians 1:18-29
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are
clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal
power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when
they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became
vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory
of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to
birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave
them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their
own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and
worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for
ever. Amen. Romans 1:20-25
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope
to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of
Jesus Christ; As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to
the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is
holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written,
Be ye holy; for I am holy. And if ye call on the Father, who without
respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your
sojourning here in fear: Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with
corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by
tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of
a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained
before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for
you, Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and
gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. 1 Peter 1:13-21

Improper use of Inductive Reasoning
Deductive reasoning:
an a priori, a premise is used to evaluate the rightness of
praxis-human behavior.
"In a deductive argument, the truth of the premises is
supposed to guarantee the truth of the conclusion." Garth Kemerling 2002.
When the correct procedure is applied then we are
certain of the outcome.
(2 + 2 = 4 whether used on toys, bridges,
rockets, etc.)
Inductive reasoning:
praxis-human behavior is used to evaluate the "rightness" of an a priori,
a premise.
"In an inductive argument, the truth of the premises merely
makes it probable that the conclusion is true." Garth Kemerling 2002.
Despite the "correct" procedure being applied we
will always be uncertain about the outcome.
("We can not be certain that 2 + 2 is always
going to be 4."*)
*I have actually met "math" professors, head of
math departments at universities, who say this.
Improper use of Inductive Reasoning
When applied to human experience, inductive reasoning
liberates man from the necessity of revelation to know truth.
All commands, laws, or rules must be understandable,
rational, and reasonable to the one obeying or following them.
“Neither the Bible nor the prophets neither the revelations of
God nor man – can take precedence over my own direct experience.”

Some thoughts on the Second American Revolution.
INDUCTIVE REASONING AND THE FRENCH REVOLUTION
The American and the French Revolutions were
the result of different ways of thinking or, the word used today is,
paradigms. The underlying thought process
can be defined as the difference between deductive and inductive reasoning. (See
Deductive-Inductive Reasoning Part I). Americans predominately thought
deductively; from a premise, from an a
priori, in other words from the Word of God, while the French directorate―made up of
lawyers―thought inductively―from their analysis of changing social needs
(human perception).
Americans understood that
1. man is not good,
2.
he does not will to good, and
3. his passions are not ok
(negative).
Those who usurped authority over the citizens of France
believed that
1. man was basically good,
2. he willed to do good, and
3.
his passions were ok (positive).
If you believe that man is basically good, then the way to solve individual
and social ills is to discover and then create a healthy social environment,
only then can the goodness of mankind be emancipated. Man's
problems, according to this reasoning, do not lie just in himself, they also lie in the environment that he
lives in, and the solution to man's problems does not lie in some external
higher power above man, but in man himself and in his environment. The environment itself must be changed―in the homes, in the
workplaces, in the communities, in the political, in the religious, in the
totality of society―if man has any hope of becoming healthy. "It's not my fault!
It's my
parent's fault, my teacher's fault, my predecessor's fault, etc." This type of reasoning is why I call liberals
sulking children, like Hitler, its never their fault, its somebody else's
fault―the fault lies in the environment
that I was raised in.
Create the healthy
environment and the healthy citizen will develop.
But, according to this paradigm, the person will not be
able to become healthy on his own. He is contaminated with deductive
reasoning and must be assisted in experiencing healthy thinking―inductive
reasoning―and
healthy praxis or experience. Not only must he experience this way of
thinking for himself, he must learn how to create and sustain such an
environment for the health of others. This is the justifying thought
process for the bloody French, Russian, Chinese, etc. Revolutions. While the
transformational revolutions of today may no appear to be bloody, they are.
It comes now in a new form of caring; the justification for abortion,
euthanasia, letting the innocent die―dying with
dignity. It is the
same justification the U.N. uses for the world health program (WHO)―it is
not just for physical health, it is also mental and social health.
The
trick is to get "unhealthy" people, who do not see themselves as "unhealthy," to
willingly participate in the "healthy" environment, for their own good "health"―called "therapy
for 'normals.'"
Traditional Marxists used force to simply remove the "unhealthy people" for the
sake of the good society, while transformational Marxists now use seduction and
manipulate to get the "unhealthy" people to "willingly" participate―for their own good
and their children's good of course. The real objective is getting their help
in developing, sustaining, and enforcing the
"good" society.
“Citizens are obliged to concern themselves with
the upbringing of children, to train them for socially useful work, and to raise
them as worthy members of socialist society.” “Socially useful work
and its results determine a persons status in society.” Articles 66 and 14,
"Former" USSR Constitution.
“We will know that our knowledge of the authoritarian
character structure is truly scientific when an average
authoritarian character will be able to read the information on
the subject and the regard his own authoritarian character as
undesirable or sick or pathological and will go about trying to
get rid of it.” “We don’t know the answers to the
question: What proportion of the population is irreversibly
authoritarian?” Abraham Maslow Maslow on Management
This is the mindset of liberals, even if they
call themselves "conservatives." This is the same global justifying ideology of the CFR,
NAFTA, GATT, FEMA, OBE, TQM, TQL, HMO, STW, ISO, DARE, COPS, etc. This is the mindset of most people in the American
Government today, and why our government is re-defining how the home, the
workplace, government, and religious institutions should function. Today we hear
of healthy homes, healthy workplaces, healthy schools, healthy government,
even healthy churches. Welcome to the principles of the French Revolution―inductive
reasoning, dialectical paradigm.
Welcome to the democratic principles we are now "defending" at home and
imposing on other nations around the world.
These principles did not just show
up on the scene by themselves. There have been many who have worked hard to
maneuver our nation into this quest for "world democracy."
Human Relations in Curriculum Change,
edited by Kenneth Benne, is an example of such an effort.
Many, who have been the foundation for contemporary education, have written
about their agenda to transform America from a constitutional republic into a globalist democratic society.
“. . . should fascism become a powerful force in this
country, it would parade under the banners of traditional American
democracy. . . ‘rugged individualism’” "...democratic type of
relationship, the ability of the subject to appraise his parents
objectively, as contrasted with an inclination to put the parents on a very
high plane.” “The democratic alternative, humanitarianism, (is) the ability
to like and dislike, to value and oppose, individuals on the basis of
concrete specific experience;” “What is particularly important here is that
recognition of one's own individuality is the basis for recognition of the
individuality of everyone, and for the democratic concept of the dignity of
man.” “ Only when the process of production is organized on a socialist
basis, they argue, can there be true economic democracy, equality
or management and labor, and a high national standard of living.”
Theodor Adorno The Authoritarian Personality.
“In Escape from Freedom, Fromm offered the sado-masochistic
character as the core of the authoritarian personality.” “The antithesis of the ‘authoritarian’ type was called
‘revolutionary.’” “By The Authoritarian Personality ‘revolutionary’ had
changed to the ‘democratic.’” Martin Jay The Dialectical Imagination
" ... the central problem of democracy is not the discovery
of some optimal solution or standard for ranking incommensurate values; ...
The central problem of democracy is instead the formation of a somewhat
vaguely defined ‘postconventional’ consensus through which everyone affected
by a decision must be able to participate in reaching it.” Bronner Of
Critical Theory and its Theorists
“We may call this new order by the name of democratic
socialism but the name does not matter; all that matters is that we
establish a rational economic system serving the purposes of the people.
Only in a planned economy in which the whole nation has rationally mastered
the economic and social forces can the individual share responsibility and
use creative intelligence in his work. All that matters is that the
opportunity for genuine activity be restored to the individual; that the
purposes of society and of his own become identical.” Erick Fromm Escape from Freedom
“In a democratic society a patriarchal culture should make
us depressed instead of glad; it is an argument against the higher
possibilities of human nature, of self actualization.” “In our democratic
society, any enterprise--any individual--has its obligations to the whole.”
“Tax credits would be given to the company that helps to improve the whole
society, and helps to improve the democracy by helping to create democratic
individuals.” Abraham Maslow, Maslow on Management, John Wiley & Sons,
Inc, 1998. p. 66
“Changing a group atmosphere from autocracy toward
democracy through a democratic leadership means that the autocratic
followers must shift toward a genuine acceptance of the role of democratic
followers.” “It is of utmost importance that the trainer of
democratic leaders establish and hold his position of leadership.” “In a
democratic process deviation is welcomed as a possible source of improvement
in common ways of thinking and acting.” Kenneth Benne Human
Relations in Curriculum Change
“Has authority been banished in these later days? Has the
world reached a point where it will condone the formation of pupil soviets?"
Will C. Woods, Superintendent of Public Instruction of the State
of California March 1921
Intellectual liberals, like Marx, worship the
events of the French Revolution. It was a manifestation of the god
of
their salvation. The voice of their god could be heard back in the
garden of Eden (Genesis 3:1-6) and even before. (Isaiah 14:12-15)
“In
the process of history man gives birth to himself. He becomes what he
potentially is, and he attains what the serpent―the
symbol of wisdom and rebellion―promised, and
what the patriarchal, jealous God of Adam did not wish: that man would become
like God himself.” Erick Fromm
You shall
be as gods: A
radical interpretation of the old testament and its tradition 1966
In American it was understood that man was
"accountable to higher authority," while in the French he was "accountable to
mankind." In America, we fought for inalienable rights (rights
granted to the individual citizen by a higher authority than man and his
councils, rights that no man or council could put a lien on, rights that only
the individual citizen could abdicate, and only for himself). The French citizens
ended up with human rights (determined by committees "in touch with
changing times," to serve and protect the "brotherhood").
In America,
while the king was seen as a tyrant, an oppressor of his people, we did not kill
the king and get rid of the office of the king, we simply reformed the system, dividing the
office, limiting the power of the officers, letting "the vote of the people"
determine the office holders, thus giving the citizen the greatest amount of freedom
to think and live deductively under God.
In France the opposite was true. The King and anyone who thought like him, was
killed, the king system was replaced with a "directorate" (politburo-soviet
consensus system) which ruled with ruthless force, guided by the zeitgeist
(the spirit of the times). which was perceived by committees, sensitive
(con-sensus) to the "will of the people" (the brotherhood). All "worthy"
citizens were to think inductively, "one for all and all for one," or
experience the fate of the King (the father figure―the
patriarch), patricide.
"In the dialogic relation of recognizing
oneself in the other, they experience the common ground of their existence."
"the revolution that must occur is the reaction of suppressed life, which will
visit the causality of fate upon the rulers." [patricide] "Therefore the dialectic of the
moral life must repeat itself until the materialist spell that is cast upon the
reproduction of social life, the Biblical curse of necessary labor, is broken
technologically." Jürgen Habermas Knowledge & Human Interest,
1968, publ. Polity Press, 1987. Chapter Three: The Idea of the Theory of
Knowledge as Social Theory emphasis added
According to Habermas, when labor, the earthly curse of
Adam's sin,
is overcome
with technological advancements through the result of human collaboration (col-labor-ation),
then man will be delivered from the system of sin―blind
obedience to higher authority, necessitating deductive reasoning,
will be washed from human consciousness.
"Man has only to
understand himself, to take himself as the measure of all aspects of life, to
judge according to his being, to organise the world in a truly human manner
according to the demands of his own nature, and he will have solved the riddle
of our time. But there is no other salvation for him, he cannot regain his
humanity, his substance, other than by thoroughly overcoming all religious ideas
and returning firmly and honestly, not to 'God', but to himself." Frederick
Engels The Condition of England A review of Past and Present, by Thomas
Carlyle, London, 1843 Deutsch-Französische Jahrbücher, 1844
“Prior to
therapy the person is prone to ask himself ‘What would my parents want me
to do?’ During the process of therapy the individual comes to ask himself ‘What
does it mean to me?’” Carl Rogers On Becoming a Person
When man, "the measure of all aspects of life," creates the
world of his desires, the world of "leisure" and "guaranteed sustenance,"
then hedonism will rule the land. Unregenerate man will not enter into Gods
rest. As revealed in the scriptures, those who think they can create
a "healthy" garden environment are fools.
Understanding the French Revolution:
#1.
The bourgeoisie are the patriarchal, didactic, deductive reasoning,
authority based, obedience demanding, status quo, traditionally thinking parents.
"Dad and mom are not perfect, but the office is."
#2. The "most numerous part of
the mass," the proletariat, are the adolescent, resenting authority,
sulking, disobedient, rebellious, always thinking about themselves, feelings
driven children.
The agenda is to give the proletariat-adolescent the freedom to
collectively visualize and rationalize the termination1
of the bourgeoisie-parents and the support to collectedly actualize it (revolution).
# 3. The vanguard party are the facilitators in education, the
workplace, government, the church, etc. who provide an experiential chasm2 for
the children to learn to think inductively and act dialectically. Dialectically
minded children always display hostilities toward their patriarchal parents,
both in theory and in practice. Dialectic minded
societies always execute their patriarchal citizens, i.e. French Revolution, Russian
Revolution, Chinese Revolution, Second American Revolution, etc. They always
eradicate the father figure (the patriarch), not only in theory but also in
practice. They see no
wrong in even killing their own children if it is done for the
betterment of society i.e. If its done for the betterment of society―the
team, the village, the environment, etc.―it is
always right.
patricide―a paradigm "shift"
"Once the earthly family is discovered to
be the secret of the heavenly family, the former must be destroyed in theory and
in practice." Karl Marx, Feuerbach Thesis # 4
“A stranger,
even if his name were God, who imposes commands upon us must be resisted, he
must be killed because nobody can stand him.” Paul Tillich source: Leonard F.
Wheat Paul Tillich's Dialectical Humanism 1970
What failed in the
French Revolution, according to Karl Marx, was that the citizens were not thinking
inductively. While they may have been backers of the "healthy society," they were themselves obstacles to the "healthy society."
Even though
they reasoned inductively, evaluating their present conditions (IS), they did
not grasp the possibilities (OUGHT), and thus they
remained under the restraining influence of deductive thinking (NOT). They continued to argue from an a priori,
albeit secular position, they had arrived at inductively. They had come to see mankind (themselves and society) as the
subject but they had not grasped that the objective was not to be a prescribed
definitive position but was instead to be human
praxis, a speculative-discursive-collective experience―a
spontaneous-creative-collective moment. Their brain
had not been washed of the need for an a priori. It is not an objective
of studying and knowing about Marx or Freud or God but of being Marx or Freud or
god.
They had not experienced for themselves the paradigm shift, a
dialectical praxis. I debated for some time about putting
Dialectical Praxis in the Transformational Inductive-deductive-cycle/SUBJECT
row/column in the following Paradigm Shift chart. Ideally the
person would become as Carl Rogers defines in stage seven of the seven stages of
process "... he lives openly and freely in relation to others, guiding his
behavior on the basis of his immediate experiencing – he has become an
integrated process of changingness.” Carl Rogers On becoming a person. They
had remained in a mental-habitual metaphysical condition and had not experienced
for themselves the act of practicality―willfully
participated in the praxis of patricide.
As the Marxist Georg Lukacs put it, "… in all metaphysics the object remains untouched and
unaltered so that thought remains contemplative and fails to become practical;
while for the dialectical method the central problem is to change reality.…
reality with its ‘obedience to laws , … is impenetrable, fatalistic and
immutable." Georg Lukacs History & Class Consciousness Class
Consciousness What is Orthodox Marxism? March, 1919
Conscientisation: "The process in which men, not as
recipients, but as knowing subjects, achieve a deepening awareness both of
the socio-cultural reality which shapes their lives and their capacity to
transform that reality." (Freire cited in Schubeck S J, 1993: 46 n 41)
This condition has been defined as being in a
state of habitualization. Other words used in the processed
environment are communitization, democratization, conscientisation, etc.
All these are the consequence of participating in and embracing of the dialectic-praxis world of consensus building. These are more a
condition rather than an object. The neurolinguistic condition of putting theory into
practice, the uniting of theory and practice. Again, the very essence of brain washing carries this same
spirit, a
contempt for true deductive reasoning―a disrespect
for those who put an a priori, a truth, a belief, external to
human experience, into practice above and against the natural inclinations
of man, i.e. belief-action dichotomy. This spirit of nature
when given full voice indubitable exhibits an unsympathetic ruthlessness toward
any person or institution which exhibits a deductive-didactic-patriarchal
paradigm.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and
stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy
children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye
would not! Luke 13:34
And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea,
moreover of bonds and imprisonment: They were stoned, they were sawn
asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in
sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; (Of whom
the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and
in dens and caves of the earth. Hebrews 11:36-38
This revolutionary principle, this paradigm
shift of the French Revolution is the democratic principle of today which
carries with it the same disparaging attitude toward those who continue to hold
fast to the principles of the American Revolution, a Revolution inspired by men
who's foundation of thought and behavior was built on the deductive reasoning as
found in the Word of God.
We are now experiencing the French Revolution, we are in the Second
American Revolution. But this time, those who lead the Revolution are making
sure the objective is participatory democracy―consensus;
all must praxis the dialectical process, all must incarnate the
collective, universal, cosmic Mind. All must become "group think."

"If the 1789 French Revolution was a failure it
was because the most numerous part of the mass, the part distinct from the
bourgeoisie, did not have its real interest in the principle of the Revolution,
did not have a revolutionary principle of its own, but only an 'idea', and hence
only an object of momentary enthusiasm and only seeming

DEDUCTIVE AND INDUCTIVE REASONING PART II
Inductive
Reasoning and Karl Marx;
Attacking the Patriarchal Family.
by Dean Gotcher
“When I tried to understand all this, it was oppressive to me
till I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood their final destiny.”
Psalm 73:16
PART
TWO OF THREE PARTS ON
DEDUCTIVE-INDUCTIVE REASONING
The confusing
language that educators and facilitators, social-psychologists
(transformational Marxists), are using to mask their
socialist, materialist agenda can be identified as the same
language style that Karl Marx used in his day. The dialectic process,
made popular in Europe by G. W. F. Hegel, was "fine tuned" by
Marx. Although void of the field of psychology, to
come latter through the Frankfurt School, Kurt Lewin, J. L.
Moreno, etc., Marx understood the importance of systems, as
in systems thinking, and the changing of patterns of thought
if the Christian faith was to be eradicated. This
Diaprax article explains how Marx "clarified" his religion
of cosmic praxis as he exposed the "error" of the
young Hegelians in their continued use of deductive
reasoning. This religion of cosmic praxis is
now implemented in the
classrooms of America and even in the churches. It now permeates
every facet of our society. It has become the pattern
of policy for every institution on the earth, except for
one, the true Church.
The
True Church, has not fallen for Lucifer's trap. It has
not fallen away from the faith because it continues to
deductively bring "into
captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ."
2 Corinthians 10:5 It refused to participate in
the pattern utilized by the beast. It continues to "Put on the whole
armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of
the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of
the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high
places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye
may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all,
to stand." Ephesians 6:11 Many Christians may not
recognize the pattern of the beast but they can discern the
spirit. We are not to be ignorant of Satan's devices.
As the Apostle Paul wrote
concerning obedience and forgiveness, "For to this
end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you,
whether ye be obedient in all things. To whom ye forgive any
thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I
forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of
Christ; Lest Satan should get an advantage of us:
for we are not ignorant of his devices." 2
Corinthians 2:9-11 Because of the universality of
the dialectical procedure, and our inclination to utilize it to
justify our carnal nature it is important that we recognize
its pattern. This knowledge can not replace the work of God
and His Word but instead must lead us to repentance, to
humble ourselves before Him, and proclaim His word as He guides
us by His Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ, as our
savior and lord, must increase and we must decrease in all
things. He is Peace, Joy, Love, Truth, Life, and the Way.
He is our refreshing and our rest, apart from him there is
only vanity
and darkness. Diaprax and its pattern is not of him.
It is the pattern of wolves in sheep skins. It is the
pattern of Church Growth. Many Christians have
discerned the presence of wolves, this following information
is to help Christians recognize wolves them as such as they

"Not feeling at home in the sinful world,
Critical Criticism must set up a sinful world in its own home."* Karl Marx The Holy Family Chapter VII Critical
Criticism’s Correspondence 1) The Critical Mass
*"Not feeling at home in the Religious-Deductive
Reasoning
world,
Critical Criticism must set up a Secular-Deductive
Reasoning
world in its own home."
Marx attacks deductive thinking with
"inductive" reasoning. In his assault upon Christianity he uses
social issues as his platform. He berates the religious by deriding the secular, in this case the young Hegelians,
to whom the statement above was directed. What they both had in common was
they continued to think deductively
(didactic, patriarchal paradigm). In his work, The Holy Family, Marx
criticizes Herr Szeliga's, a "young Hegelian," for the use of deductive reasoning,
for his "Mystéres
de Paris." He refers to Herr Szeliga's though process as "aesthetic
prologue," "poetic fiction,” "free art," and that Herr Szeliga "invents something quite new, something that absolutely never
existed before,” "'the gap that separates
immortality' from 'transience' and 'must continually be
filled.'" Karl Marx counters Herr Szeliga's deductively
reasoned a priori statement, "Before the
law and the judge everything is equal, the high and the low, the rich
and the poor. This proposition stands at the head of the credo of the
state" with his own inductively reasoned statement, "Of the state? The credo of most states starts, on the
contrary, by making the high and the low, the rich and the poor unequal
before the law (the mystery of the antithesis of poor and rich)."
With such dialectical-inductive reasoning Marx condemns the secular for
continuing to use deductive reasoning while
accomplishing his real goal of destroying what he saw as the foundation of Christian
thought―deductive reasoning. In
other words, the masses would continue to blindly follow leadership, albeit
secular leadership, and not experience within themselves the spirit of the
masses, that spirit which hurls itself ruthlessly against the traditional
behaving-didactic thinking-deductive reasoning-patriarchal paradigm.
The great polemic against Hegel in The Holy Family
concentrates mainly on this point.. Hegel’s inadequacy is that he only seems
to allow the absolute spirit to make history. The resulting otherworldliness
of consciousness vis-d-vis the real events of history becomes, in the hands
of Hegel’s disciples, an arrogant-and reactionary confrontation of ‘spirit’
and ‘mass’. Georg Lukacs History & Class Consciousness Class

“ruthless critique of everything existing”
Karl Marx
Marx, and those who think like him, saw the
family, and the patriarchal based society which supported it, as the generator and sustainer of
deductive, "unhealthy thinking." “Human consciousness can be
liberated from the parental complex only be being liberated from its cultural
derivatives, the paternalistic state and the patriarchal God.” Norman Brown
Life Against Death. What I hear social engineers
saying and writing today, just as Marx was expressing in his day, is that
Categorical Imperatives―God's Law over man or the parent's law over the
child―produce a fear of judgment. Even when the
patriarch figure is not around, i.e. he has left the room or has deceased, etc., this
fear of judgment continues to block a person from exploring
areas of personal desire (inclinations) which were blocked by the patriarch
figure in the past. When other people demonstrate behavior
consistent with those same latent or suppressed desires, the person's fear of judgment will prevent
them from participating, resulting either in an attack upon the other person,
verbal and or physical, or a distancing from them (prejudice). Thus, the
constant drum beating of liberals is that religion, particularly
Protestant religion, carries with it a strong appreciation of categorical
imperatives and the individuals responsibly to obey them,
i.e. the fear
of God. The dialectical method must therefore be used to destroy such a
paradigm if prejudice is to be removed. Therefore to return the person
to the world of reality he must experience for himself a "healthy," collective, discursive,
inductively reasoned praxis.
"When the dialectical method destroys the
fiction of the immortality of the categories [God's Law over
man, parents law over child, etc.] it also destroys their reified character [Fear
of God
above man,
parent above child, etc.] and clears the way to a knowledge of reality
[Social Eros.] Georg Lukacs History & Class Consciousness What is Orthodox
Marxism? 1919 [brackets added]
“For one class to stand for the whole of society, another
must be the class of universal offense and the embodiment of universal
limits. A particular social sphere must stand for the notorious crime of the
whole society, so that liberation from this sphere appears to be universal
liberation. For one class to be the class par excellence of liberation,
another class must, on the other hand, be openly the subjugating class."
Karl Marx Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right
“If a paradigm is ever to triumph it must gain some first
supporters, men who will develop it to the point where hardheaded arguments
can be produced and multiplied (which eventuates in) an increasing shift in
the distribution of professional allegiances (where upon ) the man who
continues to resist after his whole profession has been converted is ipso
facto ceased to be a scientist.” Thomas Kuhn The Structure of
Scientific Revolutions
“Scientific knowledge, like language, is intrinsically the
common property of a group or else nothing at all. To understand it we shall
need to know the special characteristics of the groups that create and use
it.” Thomas Kuhn The Structure of Scientific Revolutions
“A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its
opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents
eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.”
Thomas Kuhn quoting Max Planck’s famous dictum.
While teaching and researching in an American university, Kurt
Lewin, a transformational Marxist, expressed the same ideology decades latter.
“The negative valence of a forbidden object which in
itself attracts the child thus usually derives from an induced field
of force of an adult. If this field of force loses its psychological
existence for the child (e.g., if the adult goes away or loses his
authority) the negative valence also disappears.” Kurt Lewin A

The repeated message is, the traditional family perpetuates the
"opiate of the masses,"―religion, specifically
Protestant Christian religion and its
insistence upon obedience to authority, particularly God's authority above man
(the priesthood of all believers), and
thus its individual dependence upon deductive reasoning.
To bring "the church" into inductive reasoning would be one of
Marx's, and the worlds, greatest accomplishments. "World peace" depends
upon all bending their knees to the inductive reasoning, dialectical process.
Those who use this system, use it to destroy not only the system found within the patriarchal home
but also to destroy the system used by man to serve a patriarchal God.

Change Agents―Changing
the Paradigm
“Language, like consciousness,
only arises from the need, the necessity, of intercourse with other men.”
Karl Marx MEGA I/5, p. 19
Change Agents continue to use "inductive
reasoning" to seduce deductive reasoning Christians into an environment of
discourse, where they are then deceived. Seduction is getting the Christians
(a deductive thinker, a person of faith) to focus on their own personal needs as well as the needs of others,
thus making
them the subject. Deception is getting them to "engage" the word of God
as their
own interpretation (treating God's word as their own opinion, amongst other
opinions―"I feel ...," ' think ..."―in an effort "to be
impartial to
others"―making the
individual-group-mankind-society a subject-object synthesis. By this method liberals are able to
amputate Christians from their reasoning from the mind of Christ―regarding Christ as the
Subject. By trying to be "fair
or equal with others,"
the religious person suffers the loss of their "religious
foundation." The unquestionable and universal Word of
God no longer remains as their defense. (See
Categorical Imperative)
The
subject is the justifier.
Justification is found in the
subject. When Jesus Christ is the Subject, He is the justification. When the
parent is the subject, the parent is the justification, When the child becomes
the subject, the child becomes the justification (anarchy). When man is
the subject, he is the justification. When society is the subject, it is
the justification. Inductive reasoning is being used when justification is sought
for from within the creation―the
subject is
discover himself through
evaluation―self-actualization. Deductive reasoning is being used when justification is revealed from the creator―the
Subject, we, apart from his Spirit, know only as an Object (not limited by, or
bound or tied to our subjective feelings and thoughts) is known through faith in
his objective premise or a priori―commands.
"So then faith cometh by hearing,
and hearing by the word of God." Romans 10:17
"But without faith it
is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he
is (deductive reasoning), and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek
him." Hebrews 11:6
"For after that in the wisdom of God the
world by wisdom (inductive reasoning) knew not God, it pleased
God by the foolishness of preaching (deductive reasoning) to save them
that believe." 1 Corinthians 1:21
"But I fear, lest by
any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety (inductive
reasoning), so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity
(deductive reasoning―obedience) that
is in Christ." 2 Corinthians 11:3
"But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not
walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully;”
“For we
preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants
for Jesus’ sake.” 2 Corinthians 4:2, 5
(emphasis added)
All these verses reveal the difference between
inductive and deductive reasoning, between man and God
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways
my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so
are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:8,9
There is a place for inductive reasoning.
Scientists use inductive reasoning to discover the laws of the material world.
When properly used, we can
become aware there is a God, there is a designer, a creator. But without God revealing himself
through revelation we can not know him and then without the use
of deductive reasoning we can not serve God, we can only remain in a materialist state of awareness of
something greater then ourselves (philosophy, worldly religions). We are to evaluate our experiences in life from God's word, his
a priori standards, through obedience, through deductive reasoning.
In our
fallen mental state (pride of life) we instead, as Eve did in the Garden of
Eden, use the "scientific method" to evaluate
God's word from our own personal observations, from our own senses
(perception), from our own
experiences, using the method of inductive
reasoning to understand our life, and "justify" our subjective lives
and our subjective desires (our "felt" needs, our feelings and thoughts),
treating them as a medium for discovering objective "truth."
“Science is only genuine science when it proceeds from sense
experience, in the two forms of sense perception and sensuous need, that is,
only when it proceeds from Nature.” Karl Marx MEGA I/3, p. 123
The world system (new world order) requires man not only
to think inductively
but also to live
inductively, being certain of nothing, accepting all things as in a state of
continuous flux, as in a state of continuous change, as in a state of "What if ...?"
“What truly is always true is that all is in flux, the
truth-seeker ought properly to address himself to the study of this life
process of truth seeking itself.” G. W. F. Hegel
“In the eyes of dialectical philosophy,
nothing is established

"In order to progress from these ‘facts’ to facts in the true

“Life, at its best, is a flowing, changing process in which
nothing is fixed.” “The more that the client perceives the therapist as
empathic, as having an unconditional regard for him, the more the client
will move away from a static, fixed way of functioning, and the more he will
move toward a fluid, changing way of functioning.” “Consciousness, instead
of being the watchman over a dangerous and unpredictable lot of impulses,
becomes the comfortable inhabitant of a society of impulses and feelings and
thoughts.” “Individuals move not from a fixity through change to a new
fixity, though such a process is indeed possible. But [through a]
continuum from fixity to changingness, from rigid structure to flow, from
stasis to process.” Carl Rogers On Becoming a Person
“A natural step in the present study, therefore,
was to conceive of a continuum extending from extreme conservatism to

“The good life is not any fixed state. The good life is
a process. The direction which constitutes the good life is psychological
freedom to move in any direction [where] the general qualities of

becoming.” “The major barrier to mutual interpersonal communication is our
very natural tendency to judge, to evaluate, to approve or disapprove, the
statement of the other person, or the other group.” “the whole emphasis is
upon process, not upon end states of being … to value certain qualitative
elements of the process of becoming, that we can find a pathway toward the
open society.” Carl Rogers on becoming a person

"The philosophers have only interpreted the world in
different ways,

Feuerbach Thesis #11
The objective is not arriving at or knowing
objective truth (objectification—the worship of
God), the objective is the experience (praxis) of discovering
"truth" through change (innovation—questioning
and challenging what someone in authority says "can not" be done).
Social engineers, change agents, etc. as Karl Marx, use
speculative discourse, found in
inductive reasoning, to mock "pre-enlightened" deductive thinkers.
“The Christian religion has been deeply affected by the
process of Enlightenment and the conquest of the scientific spirit.” “The

“…philosophy as
struggle with error and superstition is also and always enlightenment.”
“…The ideas of the Enlightenment taught man that he could trust his own
reason as a guide to establishing valid ethical norms and that he could rely
on himself, needing neither revelation nor that authority of the church in
order to know good and evil.” Stephen Eric Bronner Of Critical

"Enlightened economics must assume as a
prerequisite synergic institutions set up in such a way that what benefits
one benefits all.” “Enlightenment management and humanistic supervision can
be a brotherhood situation.” “The more enlightened the religious

will be the advantage for an enterprise run in an enlightened way.” Maslow

A note on sex education is worth mentioning
here. When subjects of this nature are discussed in an inductively
reasoned environment, a liberalizing of a child's mores takes place.
Peter
Drucker's article below is an example of the results of such "reasoning."
" ... while institutionalized monogamy would
disappear in communist society, long-term emotional and sexual partnerships
between men and women would flourish all the more." "Engels’ book took over
virtually none of Roland Holst’s praise of fidelity. Only one thing is
certain, he wrote: ‘that an indissoluble marriage between one man and one
woman for their entire life times is, of all forms of sexual relationship,
the one that corresponds least to our “natural inclination.”’ He even
credited exogamy with making humans ‘the most highly developed animal’.
‘Next to unlimited power and unlimited property, nothing is so calculated to
threaten the happiness of the community as unrestricted sexual intercourse’,
he wrote; but ‘real life teaches us that love, like comradeship, seeks to
radiate in many different directions’. ‘Our diversity in character
and inclination and in our circumstances is too great to make rules that
would apply always to everyone.’ In the socialist future monogamy
— particularly its ‘permanence imposed by law and public opinion, its
dependence on economic and other unworthy considerations’ —would
‘completely disappear’. Instead there would be a ‘rich diversity,
following from personal nature and inclination.’ Instead of marrying,
people would ‘recognize that partnerships arise and grow, just as
friendship, enmity and all other human feelings do’" [Holst who
Luxemburg called 'the blond Madonna'] wrote "‘Fellow feeling ...
sometimes rules out truthfulness’," "Luxemburg, for example,
though she referred to Jogiches as her husband, never married or apparently
even considered marrying any of her partners, though friends seemed to have
hoped she would marry her young lover Hans Diefenbach" "German gay rights
activist Kurt Hiller, never a Communist himself, felt obliged to say in 1930
that the Communist Party was by far the gay movement’s most reliable ally in
the Reichstag." "...‘the elimination of the need to hide sexual relations of
an unusual character is one of the first preconditions for a healthy sex
life and a healthy sexual morality’." Peter Drucker ‘More freedom’ or
‘more harmony’? Henriette Roland Holst, Jacques Engels and the influence of
class and gender on socialists’ sexual attitudes. Paper submitted to the

Most quotations are source material Peter Drucker sights.)
This kind of thinking is the basis of the so called
Homosexual "marriage," incest "marriage," polygamy, and other
activities which I do not want
to identify because of their perversity (if these are not perverse enough).
See Leviticus chapters 18 and 20. This device is being used to "re-educate"
American citizens, turning them into socialist
pawns, hyping the globalist religion of general systems theory, systems
thinking, synergy, etc. Don't be confused, the issue is not whether one is
a "Homophobe,"―fear homosexuals, it is that those
who justify such theory and practice, HATE GOD, and any soul who deductively
obeys him. And when the perverse have controlling power, they will
demonstrate their hate towards God, whom they can not reach, upon those they
can, those who fear God and not man. It is not you they hate, when they do
evil on you, it is the word of God they hate, the words you speak deductively
which reveal their sin and their condemnation.
The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify
of it, that the works thereof are evil. If the world hate you, ye know that
it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world
would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen
you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. John 7:7; 15:18-19
Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall
separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your
name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and
leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like
manner did their fathers unto the prophets. Luke 6:22-23
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill
you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall
many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because
iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall
endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Matthew 24:9-13
INDUCTIVE REASONING―NEGATING
CONDEMNATION
Marx
always started with the material world (inductive reasoning), mocking any thought process which did
not. He had to do this or he would expose his own condemnation.
The reason liberals entrap you in their discursive inductive reasoning is
that it eliminates any possible judgment upon them. Its not that their reasoning
skills are better than yours, its that you abdicate your foundation, the a
priori (deductive reasoning) which would condemn them. When liberals
pressure you to "defend" your position―you
move from
the use of deductive reasoning ("Thus saith the Lord") to the use
of inductive
reasoning ("My opinion is ...")―they have succeeded in getting you to move
into an environment where they will never experience condemnation, (and you will
experience confusion―cognitive dissonance).
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into
the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds
were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither
cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that
doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that
they are wrought in God. John 3:19-21
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the
world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that
believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned
already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son
of God. John 3:17-18
INDUCTIVE REASONING―TO
REMAIN ESOTERIC
The use of philosophical/cultic/alchemic language has always been the tool used by
liberals to communicate with their peers while hiding their agenda from their
victims.
"Tillich’s elusiveness reflects a calculated effort to remain
esoteric. He keeps his deepest meanings hidden from all but a few who are
prepared to receive it." "By redefining terms, Tillich cultivates a
'double-speak' designed to convey opposing messages to different groups. He
refuses to define terms to which he obviously attaches definite meanings."
"One
reason Tillich is unwilling to openly disavow religion is that he must be
accepted as a theologian in order to formulate and gain acceptance of an
imaginative Grand Synthesis of theology and philosophy." Leonard Wheat
Paul Tillich's Dialectical Humanism
INDUCTIVE REASONING―EXTRAPOLATION
& APPROPRIATE INFORMATION
Marxist say they don't study
history. They say they "create" it. By controlling what the media
prints, they give you what they
want you to talk about, you talk about it in your home, at work, in the
marketplace, at church, etc., and thus you create their history.
“Theoretical praxis enters public life
through the newspaper and journal of social criticism.” “The philosopher becomes
a journalist without ceasing to be a philosopher.” Joseph O’Malley Karl
Marx Critique of Hegel's 'Philosophy of Right'
One of the most devious maneuvers of inductive
reasoning is the facilitator's ability to manipulate the environment to flesh out
the "appropriate information." By allowing the introduction of all available
information (diversity-deviancy) on a particular subject, and then selecting
only the information which would promote group cohesion and advance the group
project, the facilitator is able to orchestrate the group into his
pre-determined outcome, the praxis of inductive reasoning. Rather
than any one position being established via deductive reasoning, the outcome is
a group approved position (consensus), established by extrapolating from the diverse
participants only that information which was pertinent to the group's desired outcome.
Therefore all who participated in and agreed on the outcome participated in and
approved of the
use of inductive reasoning as the means to the end, peace and harmony. And you thought
that meeting was all about fixing a
bridge, zoning some property, etc. That's what they wanted you to think it was
all about, while they were "fixing" you. Fixing means "setting you up to
put you in your place."
Over the decades "Think Tanks," have worked out
the "appropriate answers" to the "appropriate questions" which guarantee the
"appropriate information" being introduced and used in the "group think" meeting,
to guarantee the "appropriate method" being used to set policy and make decisions―inductive
reasoning, a dialectical paradigm. The item below, Item #
4. Change Agent as Resource Linker, is an example of the
effort made to guarantee the introduce of the "appropriate information"
needed to perpetuate the process, i.e. to
prevent the group from resorting to deductive reasoning in their effort of
solving a social problem. ERIC a clearing house for the
distribution of "appropriate information" is used for that very reason―supplying
socialist approved "appropriate information." All four steps are listed
below just to give you
an idea of the subtlety and complexity of the process. Source:

“1. The Change Agent as CATALYST”
“Most of the time, most people do not want change; they
want to keep things the way they are, even when outsiders know that
change is required. For that reason some change agents are needed just
to overcome this inertia, to prod and pressure the system to be less
complacent and to start working on its serious problems. By making their
dissatisfaction known and by upsetting the ‘status quo’ they get things
started.”
“2. The Change Agent as PROCESS HELPER”
“A critical and often neglected role is that of helper in
the process of problem-solving and innovation. Because most clients are
not experts on the ‘HOW TO’ of change, they can be helped greatly by
people who are skilled in the various stages of problem-solving. The
process helper can provide valuable assistance.”
“. . . Showing the client how to . . .
1. recognize and
define needs,
2.diagnose problems and set objectives,
3. acquire
relevant resources,
4. select or create solutions,
5. adapt and install
solutions,
6. evaluate solutions to,
7. determine if they are satisfying
his needs.”
“3. The Change Agent as SOLUTION GIVER"
“Many people who want to bring about change have definite
ideas about what the change should be; they have solutions and they
would like to have others adopt those solutions. However, being an
effective solution giver involves more than simply having a solution.
You have to know when and how to offer it, and you have to know enough
about it to help the client adapt it to his needs.”
“4. The Change Agent as RESOURCE LINKER"
“Effective problem-solving requires the bringing together
of needs and resources. ‘Resources’ can be of many kinds: financial
backing, knowledge of solutions, knowledge of skills in diagnosing
problems, formulating and adopting solutions, and expertise on the
process of change itself.”

they find a typo or a
specific statement to disagree with, or change the subject, or introduce their
own example, which, when properly looked at, does not even relate to the subject, etc. They can
not open themselves up to an honest exposure of their way of thinking (such is
the way of the open minded). That is until they have
"total control," then they become
ruthless, not only in word (theory), but also in deed
(practice—praxis). The outcome has always been patricide, the social act of
eradicating the father figure, the patriarchal , in theory (in mind) and in practice
(in body). Marx
prepared his readers for the act of patricide by showing them first how,
according to him, the imagined father figure is "created."
If from real apples, pears, strawberries and almonds I form the
general idea "Fruit”, if I go further and imagine that my
abstract idea "Fruit”, derived from real fruit, is an entity existing
outside me, is indeed the true essence of the pear, the apple, etc., then in
the language of speculative philosophy — I am declaring that
"Fruit” is the "Substance” of the pear, the apple, the
almond, etc. I am saying, therefore, that to be a pear is not essential to the
pear, that to be an apple is not essential to the apple; that what is
essential to these things is not their real existence, perceptible to the
senses, but the essence that I have abstracted from them and then foisted on
them, the essence of my idea — "Fruit”. I therefore declare apples,
pears, almonds, etc., to be mere forms of existence, modi, of
"Fruit” My finite understanding supported by my senses does of course
distinguish an apple from a pear and a pear from an almond, but my
speculative reason declares these sensuous differences inessential and
irrelevant. It sees in the apple the same as in the pear, and in the
pear the same as in the almond, namely "Fruit”. Particular real
fruits are no more than semblances whose true essence is "the
substance" — "Fruit”.

“No class of civil society can play this role [emancipators
of society] unless it arouses in itself and in the masses a moment of
enthusiasm, a moment in which it associates, fuses, and identifies itself
with society in general, and is felt and recognized to be society's general
representative, a moment in which its demands and rights are truly those of
society itself, of which it is the social head and heart.” Karl Marx
Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right
Substituting real science with "so
called Science"
"avoiding ... oppositions of science falsely so called." 1 Timothy
6:20
Marx first "enlightens" us on how inductive reasoning is
used to
formulate a general definitive word "Fruit." "If from real apples, pears,
strawberries and almonds I form the general idea 'Fruit.'" By
substituting "apples, pears, strawberries and almonds" for the diversity of mankind and
the idea "Fruit" with God (or the State) you can comprehend where he was going with his analogy
of Herr Szeliga's work. The assumption is that the idea of God is the
result of man's use of inductive reasoning to comprehend himself in nature. Mans use of
inductive reasoning either ends up with an uncertain a priori
(possible first cause) or, if not proven wrong, remains a theory. For Marx, it must always end
up as a "theory," with an
established uncertainty, thus justifying the need to unremittingly re-praxis
the procedure (re-circle the wagons). The use of a truly scientific method on
rocks, plants, animals, etc. either results in the identification of laws of
nature (when the theory actually is proven to be a law), or remains
speculative. When these methods is applied to man―that which God "breathed the breath of life into
the nostrils of"―it will only reveal the fleshy nature of man―that which God formed out
of the dust of the ground,―becoming "so called science."
“God is conceived more directly after a parental image and
thus as a source of support and as a guiding and sometimes
punishing authority.” Theodor Adorno The Authoritarian
Personality
Karl Marx then uses a
liberal interpretation of deductive reasoning, where the primary, the a
priori (God, the
Ideal) i.e. the "abstract idea 'Fruit'" is
now accepted as the "'Substance' of the pear, the apple, the almond,
etc." When this is done, according to Marx, the "apples, pears, almonds,
etc.," now become "mere forms of existence, modi, of 'Fruit'” where "real fruits are no more than
semblances whose true essence is 'the substance' —
'Fruit'”. Thus man, who seems to be individual man, is only able to
find his true identity in the totality of mankind, that is in the ever changing collective
experience of speculative discourse
i.e. socialism, communism, globalism, etc., purged of deductive reasoning.
“The real nature of man is the totality of social
relations.” Karl Marx Thesis on Feuerbach # 6

For anyone familiar with the story of Gnosticism it
should be clear that Marx is defining religious thought as following this same
pattern, that God is discovering himself as man discovers himself, a condition
of reciprocal reflection. With the
substitution of "theory" in place of "a priori," inductive reasoning in place of God, Marx's plan is to help individual man discover his
true essence, which can only be found in the collective human experience (praxis)
of inductive reasoning. Man must
first recognize and then serve the "true and living god," common cause,
a Gnostic god who we unite with through our common human "felt" needs
(materialism), instead of
serving a God of restraint, of law―demiurge. According
to Marx, a god which man had created, through the use of inductively reasoning, by his imagination,
has ended up ruling over mankind because of mans habitual use of deductive
reasoning. He must learn to demythologize his Gnostic god, turn Hegel on
his head, by replacing deductive reasoning with inductive reasoning, and serve the secular collective
process of dialectical thinking, the "god" of
communism, socialism, globalism, etc.
Thus when mother earth, Sophia, or Gaia is replaced with
social common cause ("Because we the village say so.") and the children,
the divine sparks, are replaced with personal
inclinations common to the collective experience, then collective flesh can find social harmony―group
hug, not only in
theory but also in practice-praxis (incest). This is only possible when
both mother and child have united in the praxis (act) of patricide, the eradication
of the patriarch―the removal of the
traditional family based system of didactic, deductive reasoning, the removal of
the the creator and sustainer of the system of guilt.
The new guilt complex appears to be historically connected
with the rise of patriarchal religion (for the Western development the
Hebrews are decisive)." “The guilty conscience is formed in childhood by the
incorporation of the parents and the wish to be father of oneself.” "We must
return to Freud and say that incest guilt created the familial
organization." Norman O. Brown LIFE AGAINST DEATH
According to inductive reasoning, guilt is the
consequence of the child learning to reason deductively. This prevents the child from
identifying with his true nature, his universal nature. Deductive reasoning must
be overcome if he is to be emancipated, if he is to be free to think and live
inductively, to be his "true person."
“The most effective method for weakening the child’s will is to
arouse his sense of guilt.” “The most important symptom of the defeat in the
fight for oneself is the guilty conscience.” Erick Fromm Escape
from Freedom
The consequence of using inductive reasoning is
clearly explained by Gods Word.
For as by one man's disobedience many were made
sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Romans

“Freud did not abandon the illusion that Adam
really fell.
We on the other hand we cling to the position that Adam never

Marx "demythologizes" deductive reasoning, replacing a-priori
with "theory" (substitutes the act of obedience with the act of questioning―"Question
authority," "Question everything") and then
he mocks anyone who properly applies deductive reasoning. Bismarck stated
that he did not clearly understand Hegel and his dialectical process but he knew
how to use it, Ridicule! Ridicule! Ridicule!
According to the liberal mind, deductive reasoning must
be redefined in favor of a socialist outcome (as just
another opinion, as a theory) or it is faulty rationalization. Deductive
reasoning must be redefined so its use will always initiate and sustain
inductive reasoning. Thereafter the inductive-deductive cycle must be used in
determining all "healthy" human praxis.
If a prior is not replaced with theory, deductive reasoning
becomes the source of reification (laws external to mans changing needs and
interests). “Reification is based on
rationalization.” Bronner Of Critical Theory In this case
rationalization is used to define things in a rigid, established a
priori way, in ways which limit natural human behavior and interfere with natural human
relationship. Marx disparaged the young Hegelians for this very reason.
"However, Criticism falls into an inconsistency by thus
having its opinion of itself represented as the opinion of the world and by its
concept being converted into reality." Karl Marx The Holy
Family Chapter VII Critical Criticism’s Correspondence 1) The Critical Mass
“Criticism is now simply a means. Indignation is its
essential pathos, denunciation its principle task. Criticism is criticism in
hand-to-hand combat. Criticism proceeds on to praxis.” Karl Marx
Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right
When an a priori law is set, then the lawbreaker, who
may be simply following his natural inclinations, seen now as a
deviant, must be chastised. For
dialectic thinkers, the condition which justifies chastening―the condition which God requires―must be
washed from the minds of mankind if the true nature of mankind, deviancy, is to be
actualized. Those who praxis deductive reasoning, in other words,
must not just be resented, they must be removed, mentally and socially.
Interestingly, a Christian who happens to be
in a dialectical, inductive reasoning environment, who refuses to
participate in the process, is now considered the deviant.
"It is important that the therapist attempt to screen out
patients who will become marked deviants, deviants because of their
interpersonal behavior in the group sessions and not because of a deviant
life style or past history." "There is no type of past behavior too deviant
for a group to accept once therapeutic group norms are established." "the
deviant … correlates very highly with negative outcome: a member deemed by
the others … to be ‘out’ of the group has virtually no chance of benefiting
from the group and a strong chance of suffering harm." "The successful
leader … reinforces each member’s activity … escort the deviant back into
the group, and he discourages the development of scapegoating and
judgmentalism." "One of the most difficult patients for me to work with in
groups is the individual who employs fundamentalist religious views in the
service of denial." "Communication toward a deviant is very great initially
and then drops off sharply as the group rejects the deviant. Eventually, the
group will extrude the deviant. They may smile at one another when he speaks
or behaves irrelevantly; they will mascot him, they will ignore him rather
than invest the necessary time to understand his interventions."

A Deductive Categorical Imperative:
"if ye be without chastisement ...
then are ye bastards."
Word of God
"If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons;
for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without
chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave
them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of
spirits, and live? Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous,
but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of
righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby." Hebrew

Change requires process and
process guarantees change―theory is treated as "fact"
and fact is treated as "theory"
The only way man can be emancipated from a
patriarchal, deductive reasoning system, according to Marx, is to
change the condition of status quo to a condition of change. “The abolition of religion, as the illusory happiness of
men, is a demand for their real happiness. The call to abandon their illusions
about their condition is a call to abandon a condition which requires
illusions.” Karl Marx MEGA I/1/1 The use of deductive reasoning to
guide the individual and society is, according to Marx, illusory, since
it obstructs change. The promotion of the condition for
change, as expressed by Marx, continues today.
“Acceptance of religion mainly
as an expression of submission to a clear pattern of parental authority is a
condition favorable to ethnocentrism.” “... ethnocentrism takes the form of pseudopatriotism; ‘we’ are the best people and the best country in the world,
and we should either keep out of world affairs altogether (isolationism) or we
should participate ‑‑ but without losing our full sovereignty, power, and
economic advantage (imperialism). And in either case we should have the biggest
army and navy in the world, and atom bomb monopoly.” “Confronted with the
rigidity of the adult ethnocentrist, one turns naturally to the question of
whether the prospects for healthy personality structure would not be greater if
the proper influences were brought to bear earlier in the individuals life, . .

“By ‘dialectical’ I mean an activity of consciousness

instance of repression; and therefore leads to neurosis.” "The repression of
normal adult sexuality is required only by cultures which are based on
patriarchal domination." "Human consciousness can be liberated from the parental
(Oedipal) complex only be being liberated from its cultural derivatives, the
paternalistic state and the patriarchal God." “The abolition of repression would
only threaten patriarchal domination.” “Freud, Hegel, and Nietzsche are, like
Marx, compelled to postulate external domination and its assertion by force in
order to explain repression.” Brown, Norman O. LIFE AGAINST DEATH.

The Facilitator's Role
The facilitator's agenda is to lay a trap for religious thinkers,
to convince them that God is simply the product of man's imagination, the product of man's
attempt to define the perfect man (the a priori) in his effort to experience the good
life. Once defined, the
perfect man is perceived as God. Thereafter man's behavior is to be measured by this
perfect man-god, first experienced in the family environment, and his behavior
rewarded or punished according to the set laws.
“The conception of the ideal family situation for the child: uncritical
obedience to the father and elders, pressures directed unilaterally from above
to below, inhibition of spontaneity and emphasis on conformity to externally
imposed values.” Theodor Adorno The Authoritarian Personality
Deductive
reasoning, according to Marx, is the opiate of
mankind. Its method isolated-alienated man from society, preventing him from realizing his
true identity. The Frankfurt School used the phrase "Alienated society"
in the US instead of using "Capitalist society" which they used in their
works written while in German and read in Europe, the Zeitschrift für
Sozialforschung.
“Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the sentiment of a
heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the
people.” Karl Marx Selected writings in Sociology and Social Philosophy,
translated by T. B. Bottomore
Marx saw the traditional family as the
source of deductive reasoning, the source of a guilty conscience, and knew that the "ultimate solution" in the
quest for world peace was the termination of the traditional family.
As an opiate impedes a persons consciousness of his surroundings, the religious
makeup of the home obstructs the next generation from social experiences. While the
conscience may be noted as a deterrent of deviancy, its promotion interferes
with the social engineer's hope of social harmony, i.e. total world
domination. Notice the sly technique of inductive reasoning Dr. Trojanowicz's
uses to justify his "unfortunate-external control" solution. Dr. Trojanowicz was
responsible for helping develop the COPS program, i.e Bill Clintons 100,000 police.
“Social control is most effective at the individual level.
The personal conscience is the key element in ensuring self-control,
refraining from deviant behavior even when it can be easily perpetrated. The
family, the next most important unit affecting social control, is obviously
instrumental in the initial formation of the conscience and in the continued
reinforcement of the values that encourage law abiding behavior.
Unfortunately, because of the reduction of influence exerted by neighbors,
the extended family and even the family, social control is now often more
dependent on external control, than on internal self-control.” Dr.

“Once the earthly family is discovered to
be the secret of the heavenly family,

Karl Marx Feuerbach Thesis # 4
Norman O. Brown in is book, Life against
Death, pointed out that Freud (Schlomo) had the same liberal interpretation of
deductive reasoning. “Freud speaks of religion as a ‘substitute-gratification’ –
the Freudian analogue to the Marxian formula, ‘opiate of the people.’” If
I got a class of students to praxis inductive reasoning on social
issues, (inductive
reasoning misapplied) I would be able to turn most, if not all, of them into mockers of fundamental
Christians. The next generation would not be able to relate to those who think
deductively, because, in their praxis, true deductive reasoning is irrational,
it can not relate to the current situation and could not even hope to be a help
in resolve current social
problems. Those who think deductively in a "rapidly changing world" are
considered "out of touch with the times." Marx put it this way.
Having reduced the different real fruits to the one "fruit" of
abstraction — "the Fruit", speculation must, in order to attain some
semblance of real content, try somehow to find its way back from "the
Fruit", from the Substance to the diverse, ordinary real
fruits, the pear, the apple, the almond, etc. It is as hard to produce real
fruits from the abstract idea "the Fruit" as it is easy to produce
this abstract idea from real fruits. Indeed, it is impossible to arrive at the
opposite of an abstraction without relinquishing the
abstraction.
Marx The Holy Family
The Negation of God―The
Negation of Negation
In Marx's materialistic mind, he could only see God as an
"abstraction" (Substance) and mankind as the "real"
(diverse) Because of this "logic," if you want to call it that,
he can only recognize God, "the Fruit," and man, "the pear, the apple,
etc." as negating. According to Marx, while God can be abstracted by man,
man can not be abstracted from God, man is real, God is not. He believed that
when man tries to praxis deductive reasoning, force himself to obey the
laws of the god he has created, he declares war on his very own human nature. “The
more of himself man attributes to God, the less he has left in himself.” “The
only practically possible emancipation is the unique theory which holds that man
is the supreme being for man.” Karl Marx He believed you could only have the abstraction, the Fruit (God), or the real, "the apples,
etc." (mankind) at one time.
The rule of speculative philosophy is
that you must suspend the substance, God and his limiting law, if you are
to discover the real, mankind. “Laws must not fetter human life; but
yield to it; ....” In this arrangement, to secularize the "mystical," he first defines the Substance, the
"Fruit" as Unity, the Absolute Substance, the supernatural
creation of the mind, the "organically linked series of
members” and then the real, the apples, etc. as semblance of
diversity.
“Philosophy is not outside the world; it simply has a different kind
of presence in the world. The world is its ground; it is the spiritual
quintessence of its age. The world is the object of its enquiry and concern;
it is the wisdom of the world.” Joseph O’Malley translator of Karl Marx's
Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right
With Marx the only possibility of diversity and Unity coming
together is through individual man realizing his common essence by way of the inner
process of speculative philosophy, that is, in the language of "theory," the
language of "seem to be," in the language of "I think." Diversity and unity can not be realized in the
language of the patriarchal ("I know."―"Because"), the restraining language of negation, "Thou
Shalt Not!," found in the language of a priori. The starting point,
if one were interested in rescuing the deductive reasoning person from his
deductive reasoning language, is to get him to put an "I think" before his "I
know," i.e. "I think I know." This instantly moves him from deductive reasoning
into inductive reasoning, the voice of the a priori is gone. God is no
longer the subject, the cause of justification, man is.
Thus speculative philosophy
(rational, reasonable discourse) was the key to emancipation of the human soul.
“The only emancipation of German is the emancipation of man. The head of this
emancipation is philosophy, its heart is the proletariat [the
disenfranchised-adolescent].” Karl Marx Critique of Hegel's 'Philosophy of Right'
emphasis added.
"Philosophy is a free and not self-seeking
activity, … This activity contains the essential element of a negation, because
to produce is also to destroy; … as Mind passes on from its natural form, it
also proceeds from its exact code of morals and the robustness of life to
reflection and conception. The result of this is that it lays hold of and
troubles this real, substantial kind of existence, this morality and faith, and
thus the period of destruction commences." Hegel’s Lectures on the
History of Philosophy Introduction B. Relation of Philosophy to Other
Departments of Knowledge.
The liberation of speculative
philosophy―delivering man from the
object―liberating the subject, by making it the object (relentlessly
evaluating the environment, through human feelings and thoughts, to determine
what is good and what is evil).
But, for Marx, speculative philosophy becomes a trap
when it
"creates its own object, an a priori," and
man becomes "dependence on the object," and thus comes under
"bondage to the object (metaphysics)."
“The life which he has
given to the object sets itself against him as an alien and hostile force.”
Karl Marx MEGA I/3, pp. 83-84
"Every form of objectification ...
results in alienation. Transcending alienation involves transcending
objectification.;” Bronner Of Critical Theory
“In direct contrast to German philosophy, which
descends from heaven to earth, here we ascend from earth to heaven.”
Karl Marx MEGA I/5, p. 16
Man's focus, according to Marx, must
shift from looking upward (contrast, God-man, good-evil, etc.) objectively, to looking earthward (similar,
man-mankind) subjectively. The reversal of the Christian paradigm to "Set your
affection on things above, not on things on the earth." Colossians 3:2
By
making both the individual and the collective the object (discussing their
feelings and thoughts about objects of restraint in the environment), the object
(transcendence which negates—restrains—the fleshly nature of man) is negated. As
recognized before, this snare
really begins when Christians make themselves the Subject and the Object
(examining everything under the microscope of human reasoning). (Listen to
Phil Worts audios on Subject-Object
Dichotomy). By
making mans needs and desires the subject, both individually and collectively
(their feelings and thoughts becoming the focus of attention) they make God, the a priori, the
object to be overcome. Biblically, the creator is the subject, what he
says is paramount, and the created is the object, the clay in the potters hands. Tamper with this order and you slide down
the slippery slope of the dialectical process into the abyss.
"But every
man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when
lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished,
bringeth forth death." James 1:14, 15
"Beware lest any man spoil
you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the
rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." Colossians 2:8
It is only through the process of
speculation, according to Marx, that the moment of diversity and Unity
(man's desires and societies needs) can be realized, but
this can only be possible when diversity and Unity become the Subject by
"transcending objectification". That is the secret to the
understanding of Marx turning Hegel "upside down."
It is only in this condition that "Unity in diversity" can be found—
the "transcending" of "objectification," overcoming
the concern about what parents or God command.
“Freedom becomes anchored in the subject. Nevertheless,
what this means remains open to question. Freedom is now content to contest
power and thus forgets that power is necessary to constrain its arbitrary
exercise. The ethical and practical function of freedom is lost. Indeed,
since subjective freedom is a social phenomenon, maintaining sanity depends
upon the ability of the individual to fill a social role and affirm his or
her fullest potential.” Bronner Of Critical Theory and its Theorists
Replacing a
priori with theory
By
defining deductive reasoning (certainty) as dependent upon inductive reasoning (uncertainty), Marx uses
trickery to replace a prior with theory, replacing certainty (law) with
uncertainty (theory-speculation). In essence he assassinated deductive reasoning. In the
following comments in The Holy Family he reveals this line of
attack. But in this case if you replace God (rigid) with Society
(changing), as "the Fruit", then the individual, "the Fruit" is
simply a part of the whole "the Fruit." The very act (praxis)
of the individual "the Fruit"
