"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:5, 6
Facilitators Of 'Change.'
(Personal note.)
by
Dean Gotcher
"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
"I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet." Romans 7:7
"And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you." 2 Peter 2:3
The facilitator of 'change' is a god of the flesh, 'justifying' "the people's" natural inclination to covet, that is to lust after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' (dopamine emancipation) that the world, that is that an object, people, or person is stimulating, with "What can I get out of this for me?" on their mind, in order for "the people" to 'justify' his, the facilitator of 'change's' natural inclination to lust after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' (dopamine emancipation) that the world is stimulating, with "What can I get out of this for me?" on his mind. By not judging, condemning, and casting "the people" out for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning, "encouraging" them to do the same, he "owns" them (he has gained their trust), resulting in their following after, serving, promoting, protecting, praising, worshiping, and even dying for him as they work to remove the Father and His authority from before their face and therefore his face, so he can do wrong, disobey, sin, that is lust without being judged, condemned, and cast out with their affirmation, removing anyone who gets in their way (including the unborn, the elderly, the innocent, the righteous), doing so without having a guilty conscience.
The first manifestation of facilitation of 'change' is found in the garden in Eden where the master facilitator of 'change' "helped" the woman 'justify' her lust, establishing her self as being equal with, therefore greater than, therefore against, God the "Father." "Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? [this is a neurolinguistic construct (an imbedded statement in a question, sensitizing a person to their lusts, when it comes to right and wrong behavior, beginning the process of liberating a person's lust out from under their fear of judgment, that is out from under the father's authority, bring dialogue forward out from under the restraint of discussion)—which is one of the most powerful forms of hypnosis] And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it [she revealed her lust], lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die [removing the "negative," God "the Father's" "thou shalt surely die," that is fear of judgment (which was not a lie regarding the here-and now, that is the tree itself did not kill her—or Adam—but a lie regarding the there-and then, with God removing her—and Adam—from having access to the "tree of life" for their disobedience—"And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life." Genesis 3:22-24—then, after death both facing judgment, inheriting either eternal life or eternal death)]: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods (which dialogue does, everyone is god in dialogue, establishing right and wrong behavior based upon their understanding), knowing good and evil [according to their flesh, making behavior subject to their "sense experience," their carnal nature]. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food [which is "the lust of the flesh," "sensuous need"], and that it was pleasant to the eyes [which is "the lust of the eyes," "sense perception"], and a tree to be desired to make one wise [which is "the pride of life," "sense experience," evaluating (aufheben) from her senses, that is from her understanding, which is subject to the flesh that the world stimulates (stimulus-response) she made her self the establisher of right and wrong behavior, that is she made her self, her flesh, her lust for pleasure equal with God], she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he [following after the woman instead of obeying God] did eat." Genesis 3:1-6 (emphasis added)
Making behavior subject to science (stimulus-response), that is to that which is only "of the world" Karl Marx wrote, "Sense experience must be the basis of all science." "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)
Carl Rogers, echoing the same ideology, wrote "Experience is, for me, the highest authority." "Neither the Bible nor the prophets, neither the revelations of God can take precedence over my own direct experience." (Carl Rogers, on becoming a person: A Therapist View of Psychotherapy)
"O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen." 1 Timothy 6:20-21
By 'discovering' what a person is dialoguing with themselves about, offering to "help" them achieve (actualize) it the facilitator of 'change' is able to "own" them, using them to satisfy his lusts, like a drug addict, in this case addicted to dopamine emancipation, their lust for pleasure (which includes the affirmation of men, which includes his, that is the facilitator of 'change's' encouragement or edification) he can use them for his own gain. As Carl Rogers explained it, they will not know what happened to them until it is too late, that is until after the deed is done, that is they have sold their soul to him. "If we have the power or authority to establish the necessary conditions, the predicted behaviors [our potential ability to influence or control the behavior of groups] will follow." "We can choose to use our growing knowledge to enslave people in ways never dreamed of before, depersonalizing them, controlling them by means so carefully selected that they will perhaps never be aware of their loss of personhood." "We know how to change the opinions of an individual in a selected direction, without his ever becoming aware of the stimuli which changed his opinion." "We know how to influence the ... behavior of individuals by setting up conditions which provide satisfaction for needs of which they are unconscious, but which we have been able to determine." We can achieve a sort of control under which the controlled though they are following a code much more scrupulously than was ever the case under the old system, nevertheless feel free. They are doing what they want to do, not what they are forced to do." "By a careful design, we control not the final behavior, but the inclination to behavior—the motives, the desires, the wishes. The curious thing is that in that case the question of freedom never arises."
"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" Mark 8:36, 37
"And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." 1 John 2:18
The soul is eternal. The flesh is not.
"To enjoy the present reconciles us to the actual." (Karl Marx, Critique of Hegel's 'Philosophy of Right')
The facilitator of 'change,' perceiving his self as being the personification of "the people," who, like him lust after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' the world is stimulating, hating restraint, sees it as his duty to 'justify' "the people's" natural inclination to lust after pleasure in order to 'justify' his natural inclination to lust after pleasure. When you question the facilitator of 'change's' actions he will respond with "It is not just about you," really meaning "It is all about me, so I can lust after pleasure without having a guilty conscience, with your affirmation. If you refuse to affirm me, that is my lusts or get in my way 'the people' will remove (negate) you (since having 'justified' their lusts I now 'own' them). It appears I must keep an eye on you from now on for my 'good.'" This is the true meaning of "sight based management."
"For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth. The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts." Psalms 10:3, 4
"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9
The heart, thinking pleasure, that is lust is the standard for "good" instead of doing the Father's will hates anyone preventing, that is inhibiting or blocking it from enjoying the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' it is lusting after. The unregenerated heart (the Karl Marx in you) can not see its hatred toward the Father's authority as being evil, that is "wicked," that is "desperately wicked" because its lust for pleasure is standing in the way, 'justifying' the hate. (Mark 7:21-23)
"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
In his article The Holy Family Karl Marx 'justified' the use of dialogue, when man 'justify' his self before his self and before others, the "desperately wicked" aspect of the heart, what he called "Critical Criticism" to 'justify' his sins. Thus, 'justifying' the human heart, that is his heart he made sin, that is lust the "norm." "Not feeling at home in the sinful world, Critical Criticism must set up a sinful world in its own home." "Critical Criticism is a spiritualistic lord, pure spontaneity, actus purus, intolerant of any influence from without." Being "intolerant of any influence from without" he is 'justified' in his self to not only question, challenge, defy, disregard the Father and His authority but to attack him and it as well, with the intent of removing both from the face of the earth. In his article Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right Karl Marx explained what he meant by "Criticism." "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 [or social action]." "The critique of religion [that is hatred toward the Father and His authority and those who recognize and honor Him and it as well] ends with the categorical imperative to overthrow all conditions in which man is a debased, enslaved, neglected, contemptible being [that is man being called a sinner, thus being judged, condemned, cast out for his carnal thoughts and carnal actions]." The Marxist Antonio Gramsci, quoted in Selections from the Prison Notebooks wrote: "The philosophy of praxis is the absolute secularization of thought, an absolute humanism of history." In the end, man and the world he lives in is all there is, making the issue of sin, judgment, and eternal damnation moot (at least in the minds of men). The name for the National Test for Teachers is Praxis.
In his Eleventh Thesis on Feuerbach Karl Marx wrote: "The philosophers have only interpreted the world in different ways, the objective however, is change," which is inscribed on his tomb.
In other words, it is the Father's authority system, that is the Father's established commands, rules, facts, and truth (which differ from home to home) that divides the people. For example, a class of twenty students loyal to their father's authority are more than likely to be divided amongst themselves based upon their fathers' differing positions on issues. Only by finding what all students have in common, that being their lust for pleasure and resentment toward restraint (that is their hating missing out on pleasure) can they become united as one, liberated from the Father's authority system—the motto of the French Revolution being Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité, 'liberty' from the Father's authority and thus His protection, Egality where law is made subject to men's opinions, very subjective based upon "What can I get out of this situation, people, or person for my self?" which can be likewise used on him, and fraternity based upon who is participating in or has the potential of participating in the process of 'change,' that is who will emotionally and financially support the facilitator of 'change,' until they get in the way, or do not bring him pleasure, or cost him time and money, or he has something to gain from their demise. You can only have one, doing the Father's will or the other, the child's or student's carnal nature being 'justified.' One is objective, external to the student, the other is subjective, of the student's carnal nature. Therefore, it is in the child's propensity to respond ('change' in accordance) to the situation and-or object, people, or person present in the 'moment' that the 'change' process can be initiated and sustained. All that is "of the world" is of stimulus-response, including the flesh of man, that part which God formed from the "dust of the ground." Yet, unlike the laws of nature, which are established for all time and places, that is are observable and repeatable when applied to man they make his carnal nature the law whereby everyone is to live, making everything subject to 'change.'
In The Holy Family Karl Marx wrote the following, "The unspeculative Christian also recognizes sensuality as long as it does not assert itself at the expense of true reason, that is, of faith, of true love, that is of love of God, of true will-power, that is of will in Christ. Not for the sake of sensual love, not for the lust of the flesh, but because the Lord said: Increase and multiply." He found that by generalization, in has case using fruit trees as an example he was able to focus attention upon what they had in common overcoming their difference. Applied to man that commonality is found in the sensation of pleasure, as Karl Marx put it "It is not sensuality which is presented ..., but the attraction of what is forbidden." It was in lust, known as the "affective domain" that Karl Marx found the commonality of man.
"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
"From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts." James 4:1-3 (Read James chapters 4 and 5 for the total picture.)
The Protestant Reformation (the priesthood of all believers, putting nothing in the creation between yourself and God) rejected stimulus-response, that is Aristotelian 'ethics' when it came to behavior—that by 'creating' a "good" environment, removing that which is not "good," man can become "good." This denies the work of God the Father, the work of the Son, Jesus Christ, and the work of the Holy Spirit, that nothing in the creation can make man "good," since only God is good. In Christ Jesus only is righteousness imputed to man, by his faith in God. For the agent of 'change,' that is for the facilitator of 'change, without his "help" students, having a guilty conscience for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning will remain loyal to the Father and His authority, thus they will not follow him, judging, condemning, casting him out instead for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning.
By removing that which is "negative," being judged, condemned, and cast out for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning the facilitator of 'change' is able to 'create' an environment which is "positive" (to the flesh), 'liberating' all participants from the restraints of the Father, negating the effect the Father's authority has on them, the guilty conscience, that is being held accountable for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning.
Kurt Lewin (who edited the "Frankfurt School's" paper) in two sentences defined how the guilty conscience, what he calls "the negative valence" is engendered and how it can be negated (called the "the negation of negation"). "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 Dynamic Theory of Personality)
By 'creating' a "positive" environment where all can dialogue that is share their feelings and thoughts without fear of being judged, condemned, cast out the facilitator of 'change' is able to negate that which is "negative," that is the Father's authority and the guilty conscience it engenders, turning all participants against those who defend and promote the Father and His authority in the meeting, without having a guilty conscience. This is where "Bloom's Taxonomies" come into use. While the guilty conscience ties the child to the father/Father or rather the father/Father to the child the "super-ego" ties the child to society.
"Superego development is conceived as the incorporation of the moral standards of society. Therefore the levels of the Taxonomy should describe successive levels of goal setting appropriate to superego development." (David Krathwohl, Benjamin S. Bloom, Taxonomy of Educational Objectives Book 2: Affective Domain) All teachers are certified and schools accredited based upon their use of what are called "Bloom's Taxonomies" in the classroom.
"Concerning the changing of circumstances by men, the educator must himself be educated." (Karl Marx, Thesis on Feuerbach # 3)
Ronald Havelock in A Change Agent's Guide to Innovation in Education explained that the "change agent... should know about the process of change, how it takes place and the attitudes, values and behaviors that usually act as barriers.... He should know who in his system are the 'defenders' or resisters of innovations." "Innovation" means 'change.'
In Laboratories in Human Relations Training, we read "The change agent (be it an individual, group, or an organization) needs certain skills to move the client toward a collaborative and receptive response to change." Along with those being trained in "encounter-groups" and "T-groups" ("sensitivity training"), National Training Laboratories, associated with the National Education Association, as well a Tavistock in England trained people from the 60's on in the process of 'change,' that is trained people in the ideology and praxis of Marxism. Members of the National Training Laboratories are "an international group of highly competent consultants, trainers, and change agents who are located at colleges and universities; at mental health, community, and research agencies; in major corporations; and in private consulting organizations."
All the facilitator of 'change' has to do (in a "positive" environment, that is in an environment which will not judge, condemn, or cast you out for lusting after pleasure or for being wrong) is ask you how you feel and what you think regarding the commands, rules, facts, and truth you have been taught (that get in the way of your carnal desires), especially when it comes to behavior and the facilitator of 'change' "owns" you. This applies to all who participate in the facilitated, dialoguing of opinions to a consensus process (establishing lust over and therefore against the Father's authority).
"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; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 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 1:28-32
When God created man, He did something which he did with nothing else in the creation, He made him a "living soul." "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." (Genesis 2:7). He then did something which He did with nothing else in the creation, He told him what was right and what was wrong behavior and the consequence for disobedience. "And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." (Genesis 2:16, 17). Only man can be told or tell others what is right and what is wrong behavior. Only man can read or write a book. All the rest of the creation is based upon stimulus-response—for living organisms, approach pleasure and avoid pain.
It is the Father who authors commands, rules, facts, and truth to be accepted as is (by faith) and obeyed or applied and enforces them. Without the Father there is no being told what is right and what is wrong behavior. Without being told there is no being held accountable for your behavior. In other words without the Father's authority system there is no law (known as "rule of law"). Without law there is no doing wrong or disobedience. Without disobedience there is no sin. Without sin there is no need of a savior.
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life." Romans 5:8-10
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:" Ephesians 2:8
Whoever "denieth" the Father, that is the law, "denieth" the Son, that is the savior—who, by his shed blood on the cross redeemed us from His Father's jugment upon us for our sins.
"He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son." 1 John 2:22
In dialectic 'reasoning,' that is in the dialoguing of opinions to a consensus process there is no Father's authority, therefore there is no established law, therefore there is no disobedience, therefore there is no sin, therefore there is no need of a savior. Therefore the object of dialectic 'reasoning' is to remove the Father, thus removing the Father's authority, thereby removing law, thereby removing judgment, condemnation and being cast out for sinning, so the facilitator of 'change' can to sin without having a guilty conscience, that is sin with impunity.
". . . for by the law is the knowledge of sin." Romans 3:20
György Lukács, carrying on the same theme as Kant, Hegel, and Marx in his article History and Class Consciousness: What is Orthodox Marxism? wrote: "... the central problem is to change reality.… reality with its 'obedience to laws.'"
In Critique of Hegel's 'Philosophy of Right' Karl Marx wrote "Laws must not fetter human life [that is inhibit or block lust]; but yield to it; they must change as the needs [that is the lusts] and capacities [that is the interests and the attractions of lust] of the people change."
Karl Marx, in his Fourth Thesis on Feuerbach wrote "Once the earthly family is discovered to be the secret of the Holy family, the former must then itself be destroyed [vernichtet, that is annihilated, that is negated] in theory and in practice."
While the heavenly Father is holy and the earthly father is born into sin both have the same authority system, preaching commands and rules to be obeyed as given, teaching facts and truth to be accepted as is (at first at least by faith) and applied, discussing with those under His authority any questions they might have regarding His commands, rules, facts, and truth, providing He deems it necessary, has time, those under His authority are able to understand, and are not questioning, challenging, defying, disregarding, attacking His authority, 2) rewarding those who do right and obey, 3) correcting and-or chastening those who do wrong and-or disobey, that they might learn to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline, capitulate their "self" in order to do right and not wrong according to the established commands, rules, facts, and truth they have been taught (or told), that is in order to do the Father's will, and 4) casting out (expels or grounds) those who question, challenge, defy, disregard, attack His authority, which restrains the Father's authority system in the child's or man's thoughts, directing effecting his actions, resulting in the those under the Father's authority KNOWING right from wrong from being told (especially when it comes to behavior).
The gospel message is all about the Son of God, Jesus Christ doing the Father's will, that is doing what he was told, even dying on a cross, by his shed blood covering our sins (propitiation), doing so in obedience to the Father ("O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done." Matthew 26:42) asking all to follow Him doing the Father's will as He leads; "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;" 2 Corinthians 10:5.
"I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me." John 5:30
"For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak." John 12:47-50
"Thou has love righteousness, and hated iniquity;" Hebrews 1:9 This defines the Son of God.
"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
"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." Matthew 7:21
"And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven." Matthew 23:9
"Building relationship upon self interest" is the hallmark of Marxism. It is a sad day when you have to explain Marxism in order to explain what is happening in the world around you today.
Karl Marx, in his article Critique of Hegel's 'Philosophy of Right' wrote: "To enjoy the present reconciles us to the actual."
In other words, according to Karl Marx it is lust, that is enjoying the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the current situation and-or object, people, or person is stimulating that makes us at-one-with the world, establishing lust over and therefore against the Father's authority that gets in the way. Self is therefore "actualized" in lust, not in doing the Father's will.
Karl Marx, in his Sixth Thesis on Feuerbach wrote "The real nature of man is the totality of social relations."
Karl Marx wrote "It is not individualism that fulfills the individual, on the contrary it destroys him. Society is the necessary framework through which freedom and individuality are made realities." (Karl Marx, in John Lewis, The Life and Teachings of Karl Marx)
In other words, according to Karl Marx the child having to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline, capitulate his "self" in order to do the Father's will is not what "fulfills" the child. "On the contrary" it is the Father's authority, that is the child having to do right and not wrong according to the Father's established commands, rules, facts, and truth that "destroys him," that is that prevents him from becoming his self, thinking and acting according to his carnal nature, that is according to what he has in common with all the children of the world. The child's desire for approval from others, requiring him to compromise in order to "get along," that is in order to build relationship "is the necessary framework through which freedom" from the Father's authority and "freedom" to lust after pleasure, that is to do what he wants without having a guilty conscience (which the Father's authority engenders) "are made reality."
Norman O. Brown, in his book Life Against Death: The Psychoanalytical Meaning of History wrote "The individual is emancipated in the social group." "Freud commented that only through the solidarity of all the participants could the sense of guilt be assuaged." "Self-perfection of the human individual is fulfilled in union with the world in pleasure." "According to Freud, the ultimate essence of our being is erotic." "Eros is fundamentally a desire for union with objects in the world." "Eros is the foundation of morality."
According to Sigmund Freud the guilty conscience is a product of the Father's authority, which sustains the Father's authority in society. It is only in the "social group" that the guilty conscience can negated. According to the Marxist, Norman O. Brown without the "social group" the child and society remains subject to the Father's authority. Therefore the child and society can only be liberated from the Father's authority and the guilty conscience which the Father's authority engenders in the "social group," which 'justifies' the child's carnal nature, that is Eros, that is lust.
Kurt Lewin, in his article Resolving social conflicts: Selected papers on group dynamics wrote: "(T)he group to which an individual belongs is the ground for his perceptions, his feelings, and his actions"
Kurt Lewin, in Kenneth Benne's book, Human Relations in Curriculum Change wrote: "It is usually easier to change individuals formed into a group than to change any one of them separately." "The individual accepts the new system of values and beliefs by accepting belongingness to the group."
Kurt Lewin in Wilbur Brookover's book A Sociology of Education explained the effect leadership style has upon the group and the child. "The child takes on the characteristic behavior of the group in which he is placed. . . . he reflects the behavior patterns which are set by the adult leader of the group."
Kurt Lewin, regarding the effect different types of leadership have upon people wrote: "Change in methods of leadership is probably the quickest way to bring about a change in the cultural atmosphere of a group." "Any real change of the culture of a group is, therefore, interwoven with the changes of the power constellation within the group." (Barker, Dembo, and Lewin, "frustration and regression: an experiment with young children" in Child Behavior and Development)
It is the guilty conscience, which is engendered by the Father's authority that sustains the Father's authority in the child and in society.
Norman Brown gives us a definition of the guilty conscience from a Marxist's perspective. He wrote: "The guilty conscience is formed in childhood by the incorporation of the parents and the wish to be father of oneself." "What we call 'conscience' perpetuates inside of us our bondage to past objects now part of ourselves:'"
Dr. Robert Trojanowicz, in his book The meaning of "Community" in Community Policing defining the development the guilty conscience and its effect upon society wrote: "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." Trojanowicz then promotes bringing the police and the community together with the dialoguing of opinions to a consensus process, negating local control, that is the father's authority system and the guilty conscience replacing it with the "police state." Done with the use of 'crime' to bring "the people" together.
There is no Father's authority, that is judgment, condemnation, fear of being cast out in dialogue therefore using dialogue to establish right and wrong behavior negates not only the Father's authority it negates the guilty conscience as well.
Kurt Lewin, in his book A Dynamic Theory of Personality (explaining in two sentences how the guilty conscience is 'created' and how to destroy it) wrote: "The negative valence of a forbidden object which in itself attracts the child [the guilty conscience] 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."
While the guilty conscience ties the child to the Father or rather the Father to the child the "super-ego" ties the child to society.
In Book 2: Affective Domain Benjamin Bloom wrote: "Superego development is conceived as the incorporation of the moral standards of society. Therefore the levels of the Taxonomy should describe successive levels of goal setting appropriate to superego development."
It is the Father's authority system itself that Karl Marx was out to negate. Having denied the Heavenly Father's authority all he had to negate was the earthly father's authority (which he believed engendered the Heavenly Father's authority, that is religion) Sigmund Freud had the same agenda.
Explaining the merging of psychology and Marxism, focusing upon the ideology of Sigmund Freud the Marxist Herbert Marcuse, in his book Eros and Civilization: a psychological inquiry into Freud (from where we get "If it feels good, just do it") wrote: "... 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." "'It is not really a decisive matter whether one has killed one's father or abstained from the deed,' if the function of the conflict and its consequences are the same [the husband and father no longer exercises his authority in the home, over his wife and children]."
Sigmund Freud's history of the prodigal son is not of the son coming to his senses, humbling his self, returning home, submitting his self to his father's authority, learning his inheritance was not his father's money but his father's love for him (Luke 15:11-24), but of the son joining with his "friends," returning home, killing the father, taking all that was his (the father's), using it to satisfy their carnal desires, that is their lusts, killing all the fathers in the land (devouring the fathers) so all the children could be the same, that is like them, thereby affirming them, that is their "incest," 'justifying' and supporting their control over them.
Abraham Maslow, in his journals The Journals of Abraham Maslow wrote: "Marxian theory needs Freudian-type instinct theory to round it out. And of course, vice versa." "Third-Force psychology is also epi-Marxian in these senses, that is including the most basic scheme as true-good social conditions are necessary for personal growth, bad social conditions stunt human nature, ... This is to say, one could reinterpret Marx into a self-actualization-fostering Third- and Fourth-Force psychology-philosophy. And my impression is anyway that this is the direction in which they are going now." "Yet nakedness is absolutely right. So is the attack on antieroticism, the Christian and Jewish foundations. Must move in the direction of the Reichian orgasm." "I must put as much of this as is possible and usable in my education book, and more and more in succeeding writings."
In other words society needs man's natural inclination to lust after pleasure in order to become one and man's natural inclination to lust after pleasure needs societies 'justification.' The 'liberation' of self, that is of lust out from under the Father's authority "is necessary for personal growth," while submission of self to the Father's authority "stunt(s) human nature." Marxism is philosophy and psychology becoming at-one-with one another. It is in dialogue (which does not recognize the Father's authority) that all can become one, "bypass" the Father's authority in making rules, policies, and law, that is in establishing right and wrong behavior—resulting in lust being right and the Father's authority being wrong.
The Marxist Jürgen Habermas, one of the youngest and probably smartest of the "Frankfurt School" members in his book Knowledge and Human Interest, Chapter Three: The Idea of the Theory of Knowledge as Social Theory wrote (regarding the effect dialogue has upon a group setting): "In the dialogic relation of recognizing oneself in the other, they experience the common ground of their existence."
Ervin Laszlo, who organized and promoted the "climate change" agenda, in his book A Strategy For The Future: The Systems Approach to World Order wrote: "Bypassing the traditional channels of 'top-down' decision making our objective center's upon transformating public opinion into an effective instrument of global politics." "Individual values must be measured by their contribution to common [lust] interests and ultimately to world interests, transforming public consensus into one favorable to the emergence of a stable and humanistic world order." "Consensus is both a personal and a political step. It is a precondition of all future steps."
"To experience Freud is to partake a second time of the forbidden fruit;" (Brown)
"... the 'original sin' must be committed again: 'We must again eat from the tree of knowledge in order to fall back into the state of innocence.'" (Marcuse)
"The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes. For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good. He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil." Psalms 36:1-4
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." 2 Timothy 4:3, 4
"For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." 2 Timothy 3:2-5
"And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." 2 Corinthians 6:15-18
End Notes
Facilitators of 'change,' that is psychologists, that is behavioral "scientists," that is "group psychotherapists," that is Marxists (Transformational Marxists)—all being the same in method or formula—are using the dialoguing of opinions to a consensus (affirmation) process, that is dialectic 'reasoning' ('reasoning' from and through the students "feelings" of the 'moment,' that is from and through their "lust" for pleasure and their hate of restraint, in the "light" of their desire for group approval, that is affirmation and fear of group rejection) in the "group grade," "safe zone-space-place," "Don't be negative, be positive," "open ended, non-directed," soviet style, brainwashing (washing the Father's authority from the children's thoughts and actions, that is "theory and practice," negating their having a guilty conscience, which the Father's authority engenders for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning in the process—called "the negation of negation" since the Father's authority and the guilty conscience, being negative to the child's carnal nature, is negated in dialogue—in dialogue, opinion, and the consensus process there is no Father's authority, that is no established aka absolute command, rule, facts, or truth to be accepted as is, by faith and obeyed; there is only the person's carnal desires, that is lusts of the past and the present being verbally expressed and 'justified'), inductive 'reasoning' ('reasoning' from and through the students "feelings," that is their natural inclination to "lust" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment'—dopamine emancipation—which the world stimulates, that is their "self interest," that is their "sense experience," selecting "appropriate information"—excluding, ignoring, or resisting, that is rejecting any "inappropriate" information, that is established command, rule, fact, or truth that gets in the way of their desired outcome, that is pleasure—in determining right from wrong behavior), "Bloom's Taxonomy," "affective domain," French Revolution (Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité) classroom "environment" in order (as in "new" world order) to 'liberate' children from parental authority, that is from the Father's authority system (the Patriarchal Paradigm)—as predators, charlatans, pimps, pedophiles, seducing, deceiving, and manipulating them as chickens, rats, and dogs, that is treating them as natural resource ("human resource") in order to convert them into 'liberals,' socialists, globalists, so they, 'justifying' their "self" before one another, can do wrong, disobey, sin, that is can "lust" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates, with impunity.
"Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken." Jeremiah 6:16, 17
Home schooling material, co-ops, conferences, etc., are joining in the same praxis, fulfilling Immanuel Kant's as well as Georg Hegel's, Karl Marx's, and Sigmund Freud's agenda of using the pattern or method of Genesis 3:1-6, that is "self" 'justification,' that is dialectic (dialogue) 'reasoning," that is 'reasoning' from and through your "feelings," that is your carnal desires of the 'moment' which are being stimulated by the world (including your desire for approval from others, with them affirming your carnal nature) in order to negate Hebrews 12:5-11, that is the Father's authority, that is having to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline, capitulate your "self" (your lusts) in order to do the Father's will, negating Romans 7:14-25, that is your having a guilty conscience when you do wrong, disobey, sin, thereby negating your having to repent before the Father for your doing wrong, disobedience, sins—which is the real agenda.
"And for this cause [because men, as "children of disobedience," 'justify' their "self," that is 'justify' their love of "self" and the world, that is their love of the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' (dopamine emancipation) which the world stimulates over and therefore against the Father's authority] God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie [that pleasure is the standard for "good" instead of doing the Father's will]: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth [in the Father and in His Son, Jesus Christ], but had pleasure in unrighteousness [in their "self" and the pleasures of the 'moment,' which the world stimulates]." 2 Thessalonians 2:11, 12
