All Of My Life

If Jesus Christ is not the Lord of your life, doing the Father's will, all you can say is:

"All of my life has been all about 'me.'"

"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 come to ask himself, 'What does it mean to me?'" (Carl Rogers, on becoming a person: A Therapist View of Psychotherapy)

All who say "It is not about you." are really saying "It is all about me." i.e., it is all about them.

"For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world." 1 John 2:16

All psychotherapy (psychology), i.e., "self" 'justification' begins at the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 3:1-6), where the master psychotherapist, i.e., the master facilitator of 'change' "helped" two "children" 'liberate' their "self" from the father's/Father's authority (Hebrews 12:5-11). 'Justifying' their carnal nature , i.e., 'justifying' their love of pleasure (dopamine emancipation) and their hate of restraint they could then be of and for their "self" and the world only, doing wrong, disobeying, sinning without having a guilty conscience (Romans 7:14-25). "To experience Freud [psychology] is to partake a second time of the forbidden fruit;" (Norman O. Brown, Life Against Death: The Psychoanalytical Meaning of History) "The 'original sin' [questioning, challenging, defying, disregarding, attacking the "Father's" authority] must be committed again: 'We must again eat from the tree of knowledge [decide for ourselves, i.e., according to our carnal desires,, i.e., "lusts" what is right and what is wrong] in order to fall back into the state of innocence [doing wrong, disobeying, sinning without having a guilty conscience, i.e., doing wrong, disobeying, sinning with impunity].'" (Herbart Marcuse, Eros and Civilization: A philosophical inquiry into Freud) It is through the praxis of dialoguing opinions to a consensus that 'change,' i.e., the "new" world order is initiated and sustained—with the children (and the master facilitator of 'change') ruling over the world instead of God ruling in the hearts of men. "Our Father, which art in heaven, ... thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven ..." Matthew 6:9, 10 "For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother." Matthew 12:50

Georg Hegel wrote: "The child, contrary to appearance, is the absolute, the rationality of the relationship; he is what is enduring and everlasting, the totality which produces itself once again as such [once he is 'liberated' from the father'/Father's authority to become as he was before the father's/Father's first command, rule, fact, or truth came into his life (separating him from his "self" and the world), of (and now for) "self" and the world only]." (Georg Hegel, System of Ethical Life) Karl Marx wrote: "Once the earthly family [with the children having to submit to their father's authority, i.e., having to humble and deny their "self" in order to do their father's will] is discovered to be the secret of the holy family [with the Son, and all following Him having to submit to His Heavenly Father's authority, i.e., having to humble and deny their "self" in order to do His will], the former [the earthly father's authority system, with children having to trust in and obey the father] must then itself be destroyed [vernichtet, i.e., annihilated] in theory and in practice [in the children's personal thoughts and social actions—no longer "building relationship" with others based upon the father's/Father's commands, rules, facts, and truth (customs, traditions, doctrine) but, through dialogue, upon common "'self interests'" (carnal desires of the 'moment') instead]." (Karl Marx, Feuerbach Thesis #4) Sigmund Freud wrote: "Once the earthly family [with the children having to submit to their father's authority, i.e., having to humble and deny their "self" in order to do their father's will] is discovered to be the secret of the holy family [with the Son, and all following Him having to submit to His Heavenly Father's authority, i.e., having to humble and deny their "self" in order to do His will], the former [the earthly father's authority system, with children having to trust in and obey the father] must then itself be destroyed [vernichtet, i.e., annihilated] in theory and in practice [in the children's personal thoughts and social actions—no longer "building relationship" with others based upon the father's/Father's commands, rules, facts, and truth (customs, traditions, doctrine) but, through dialogue, upon common "'self interests'" (carnal desires of the 'moment') instead]." (Karl Marx, Feuerbach Thesis #4) Freud's history is of children "killing and devouring" the father/Father because he stood in the way of their carnal nature, i.e., "human nature." "... the hatred against patriarchal suppression—a 'barrier to incest,' ... the desire (for the sons) to return to the mother—culminates in the rebellion of the exiled sons, the collective killing and devouring of the father," (Herbart Marcuse, Eros and Civilization: A philosophical inquiry into Freud)

By looking at the child's or man's "sense experience" to determine good and evil all that can be found is vanity, i.e., the deceitfulness and wickedness of the heart. "The heart is deceitful above all things [thinking pleasure is the standard for "good" instead of doing the father's/Father's will], and desperately wicked [hating whoever prevents, i.e., inhibits or blocks it from enjoying the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' it desires]: who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9 It can not set its hate of the father's/Father's authority as being evil since "self," i.e., love of pleasure stands in the way, 'justifying' hatred toward the father/Father and his/His authority as being "good."

"Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity." "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil." Ecclesiastes 12:8, 13-14

"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. Therefore let no man glory in men." 1 Corinthians 3:18-21

"Because that, when they knew God [the creation bearing witness of Him, i.e., of His power and greatness, along with man's ability to be in awe (aware) of it, i.e., in awe (aware) of His works and therefore in awe (aware) of Him], 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 even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;" "Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them." Romans 1:21, 22, 28, 32

"And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God." Luke 16:15

"Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil." Proverbs 16:5-6

And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.'' Galatians 5:16-26

"Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment." Ecclesiastes 11:9
