How To Get Rid Of A Guilty Conscience ...
(Personal note.)

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

"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

... for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning, i.e., for "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' (dopamine emancipation) that the world stimulates. Either repent, humbling, denying, dying to, controlling, disciplining your "self" in order to do right and not wrong according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth, i.e., in order (as in "old" world order) to do the father's/Father's will, continue to do wrong, disobey, sin, i.e., to "lust" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates with a guilty conscience, trying not to get caught, or 'justifying' your "self," i.e., your "self interest," i.e., your "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates before others, negate the father's/Father's authority (that engenders a guilty conscience in you, i.e., in your thoughts for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning, i.e., for "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates), negating the guilty conscience for doing wrong, disobey, sin, i.e., for "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates in the process, in order (as in "new" world other) for those you follow after, i.e., your leaders to do wrong, disobey, sin, i.e., to "lust" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates with impunity, i.e., with your affirmation, i.e., with your approval. "It's not about you." It's about them being able to do wrong, disobey, sin, i.e., to "lust" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates without having a guilty conscience, i.e., with your affirmation.

"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: the superego 'unites in itself the influences of the present and of the past [in the "superego" the child's carnal nature, i.e., his "feelings," i.e., his love of pleasure (his "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates) and his hate of restraint (his hatred toward the father/Father and his/His authority that gets in the way)—experienced in the past as well as being experienced in the present—directs his thoughts and actions (instead of his parent's established commands, rules, facts, and truth)].'" (Norman O. Brown, Life Against Death: The Psychoanalytical Meaning of History)

"It is not in man that walketh to direct his steps." Jeremiah 10:23

"[E]very one of us shall give account of himself to God." Romans 14:12

"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." (Dr. Robert Trojanowicz, The meaning of "Community" in Community Policing)

"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 [threat of judgment, i.e., punishment]." "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)

According to Kurt Lewin, since the guilty conscience, what he called a "negative valance" is the result of the father's/Father's authority, i.e., the father's/Father's threat of punishment for doing wrong or for disobeying, for sinning, i.e., for "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates, what Lewin called "an induced field of force of an adult," preventing the child from having or doing what he desires to do or from having what he wants to have in the 'moment,' what Lewin called "a forbidden object which in itself attracts the child," by simply removing, in the mind of the child, the father's/Father's authority, i.e., by putting the child in a "safe zone, space, or place," i.e., in a "Be positive, not negative," "group grade," "affective domain" environment where he can question, challenge, defy, disregard, attack authority without fear of being judged, chastened, condemned, and/or cast out, negating that which is "negative" without fear of reprimand, i.e., "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" i.e., the guilty conscience for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning, i.e., for "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment that the world stimulates is negated in the process.

"The child takes on the characteristic behavior of the group in which he is placed. . . . he reflects the behavior patterns [paradigm] which are set by the adult leader of the group." (Kurt Lewin in Wilbur Brookover, A Sociology of Education)

"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 [paradigm] of a group is, therefore, interwoven with the changes of the power constellation within the group." (Barker, Dembo, & Lewin, "frustration and regression: an experiment with young children" in Child Behavior and Development)

By facilitators of 'change,' i.e., psychologists, i.e., behavioral "scientists," i.e., "group psychotherapists," i.e., Marxists (Transformational Marxists)—all being the same in method or formula—replacing (filtering out) the preaching, teaching, and discussing of established commands, rules, facts, and truth (in order for children to learn to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline their "self" in order to do the father's/Father's will), engendering a guilty conscience in them when they do wrong, disobey, sin, i.e., when they "lust" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates (preventing 'change') with the dialoguing of opinions to a consensus process, the father's/Father's authority is negated, resulting in the facilitator of 'change,' i.e., the psychologist, i.e., the behavior "scientist," i.e., the "group psychotherapist," i.e., the Marxist (Transformational Marxist) being able to do wrong, disobey, sin, i.e., to "lust" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates without having a guilty conscience, with the children's/"the people's" affirmation (making 'change,' i.e., "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world is stimulating easy).

"To enjoy the present reconciles us to the actual." (Karl Marx, Critique of Hegel's 'Philosophy of Right') In other words, Karl Marx was saying: "'Lust' reconciles you (the Karl Marx in you) to the world."

"The heart is deceitful above all things [thinking pleasure is the standard for "good" instead of doing the father's/Father's will, i.e., having to set aside your carnal desires ("lusts") of the 'moment' that the world is stimulating, i.e., having to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline your "self" in order (as in "old" world order) to do the father's/Father's will, i.e., in order to do right and not wrong according the father's/Father's established commands, rules, facts, and truth], and desperately wicked [hating the father's/Father's authority that "gets in the way," i.e. that prevents, i.e., inhibits or blocks you from enjoying the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates]: who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9

You can not see your hate of restraint (the Karl Marx in you) as being evil, i.e., "wicked" ("desperately wicked") because your love of pleasure, i.e., "lust," i.e., "self interest" (getting in the way) blinds you to it. Like a drug, pleasure (dopamine emancipation), i.e., "self interest," i.e., "the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life," i.e., that which the world stimulates blinds you to your hatred toward restraint, i.e., hatred toward the father's/Father's authority, i.e., blinds you to your "wickedness" which is being expressed toward those who are preventing (or trying to prevent) you from having access to the drug, i.e., to pleasure (dopamine emancipation) when you are doing wrong, disobeying, sinning—making you not just wicked but "desperately wicked" in your effort to attain it, keep it, or get it back. All man can do is 'justify' his "self" when he 'creates' a "healthy environment" in order to 'create' a "healthy person." No environment he 'creates' can resolve his heart problem, i.e., his love of pleasure, i.e., his "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates (including the affirmation, i.e., the praises of men) and his hate of restraint, i.e., his hatred toward the father/Father and his/His authority that gets in the way.

"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2:15

"Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise." "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." "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 5:19, 30; 12:47-50

"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

"And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven." Matthew 23:9

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6

Only the Lord can change your heart, replacing your hate of the Father with His "love of the Father."

"The real nature of man is the totality of social relations." (Karl Marx, Thesis on Feuerbach #6) In other words, Karl Marx was saying: Since "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates is common to all men, by identifying with society, i.e., with what all men have in common, i.e., their "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates, the individual is 'emancipated,' i.e. is 'liberated' from the father's/Father's authority, 'liberating' him from feeling guilty, i.e., from having a guilty conscience for being like all other men, i.e., for "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates.

"It is not individualism [the child having to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline his "self" in order to do right and not wrong according to the father's/Father's established commands, rules, facts, and truth, having to stand alone against "the group" when they are doing wrong, disobeying, sinning, i.e., "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world is stimulating, doing what he wants to do] that fulfills the individual, on the contrary it destroys him [makes him "neurotic"—caught between doing the father's/Father's will and doing his own will instead, when his will, i.e., his carnal desires ("lusts") of the 'moment,' and his father's/Father's will, i.e., doing right and not wrong according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth are in conflict with one another]. Society ["human relationship based upon self interest," i.e., "building relationship" with others, based upon the child's carnal desires, i.e., one's "self interest," i.e., finding one's identity, i.e., "self" in the other, i.e., in "the group," i.e., in society, i.e., in what all in society have in common (the basis of Communism), "the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life"] is the necessary framework through which freedom [from the father's/Father's authority] and individuality [to be "of and for self" and the world only] are made realities." (Karl Marx, in John Lewis, The Life and Teachings of Karl Marx)

"The individual is emancipated in the social group." "Freud commented that only through the solidarity of all the participants could the sense of guilt [the guilty conscience for disobeying the father/Father] be assuaged." (Brown)

"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 Kenneth Bennie, Human Relations in Curriculum Change) The dynamics of "the group" ("group dynamics"), i.e., the persons desire for "the groups" approval (affirming his carnal desires) has a direct effect upon his thinking and acting.

"One of the most fascinating aspects of group therapy is that everyone is born again, born together in the group." "Freud noted that patricide and incest are part of man's deepest nature." (Irvin D. Yalom, The Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy)

"'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." "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." (Sigmund Freud in Herbert Marcuse, Eros and Civilization: a psychological inquiry into Freud) In other words: as long as the father no longer exerts authority over the children in the home he can remain in the home, otherwise it is the duty of the children, with the help of outside assistance, to unite as one and negate the father and his authority system in their thoughts and actions, i.e., in the home (and therefore in society) so the facilitator of 'change,' i.e., the psychologist, i.e., the behavior "scientist," i.e., the "group psychotherapist," i.e., the Marxist (Transformational Marxist) can do wrong, disobey, sin, i.e., can "lust" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates without having a guilty conscience, with the children's/"the peoples" affirmation.

"Third-Force psychology is also epi-Marxian in these senses, i.e., including the most basic scheme as true-good social conditions [an environment void of the father's/Father's authority where children can "actualize" their "self" without fear of judgment or condemnation] are necessary for personal growth, bad social conditions [where children have to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline their "self" in order to do the father's/Father's aka their parents will] 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." "The whole discussion becomes species-wide, One World." "This is a realistic combination of the Marxian version & the Humanistic. (Better add to definition of "humanistic" that it also means one species, One World.)" (Abraham Maslow, The Journals of Abraham Maslow)

Unlike preaching, teaching, and discussing established commands, rules, facts, and truth, initiating and sustaining the father's/Father's authority—engendering a guilty conscience for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning, i.e., for "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates—dialoguing opinions to a consensus negates the father's/Father's authority, negating the guilty conscience for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning, i.e., for "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates in the process. There is no father's/Father's authority and therefore no guilty conscience for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning, i.e., for "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates in dialogue, in an opinion, or in the consensus process, there is only man's carnal nature, i.e., his "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates, i.e., 'justifying,' through dialogue his "self," i.e., his wrongdoing, his disobedience, his "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates. This is why all counselors these days (even in the "church"), instead of preaching, teaching, and discussing the Word of God—to be accepted as is, by faith and obeyed, engendering a guilty conscience in the counselee and the counselor for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning, i.e., for "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' and repenting before the Father—have gone to the dialoguing of opinions to a consensus process, so the counselor can do wrong, disobey, sin, i.e., can "lust" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates without having a guilty conscience, i.e., with the counselee's affirmation.

"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)

In this way, i.e. through therapy "self," i.e., the child's carnal nature, i.e., the child's natural inclination to "lust" after the carnal pleasures of the moment' that the world stimulates is 'liberated' from the father's/Father's authority (system), i.e., is thereby 'liberated' from having a guilty conscience that the father's/Father's authority engenders for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning, i.e., for "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the moment' that the world stimulates so the therapist, along with all children can do wrong, disobey, sin, i.e., can "lust" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates without having a guilty conscience.

"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." (Rogers, on becoming a person)

"In the dialogic relation of recognizing oneself in the other, they experience the common ground of their existence." (Jürgen Habermas, Knowledge & Human Interest, Chapter Three: The Idea of the Theory of Knowledge as Social Theory) It is in dialogue we discover our commonality with one another, i.e., our common "self interests" in each other, 'justifying' our "self," i.e., "the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life," i.e., what which we have in common, i.e., that which is "of the world" only.

After their counseling session with the master facilitator of 'change,' instead of repenting, there were two "children" in a garden called Eden, who, like 'liberals,' when caught, 'justified' their "self," blaming someone else for their sins—with Adam throwing the woman "under the bus" (along with God who created her) and the woman, the serpent.

"To experience Freud is to partake a second time of the forbidden fruit;" (Brown, Life Against Death)

"If the guilt accumulated in the civilized domination of man by man can ever be redeemed by freedom, then 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, Eros and Civilization)

Ministers today, instead of preaching, teaching, and discussing the Word of God to be accepted as is by faith, and obeyed, are bringing the dialoguing of opinions to a consensus process into the "church" so they can do wrong, disobey, sin, i.e., can "lust" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment'' that the world stimulates without having a guilty conscience, i.e., so they can do wrong, disobey, sin, i.e., can "lust" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' with impunity, i.e., with the "church's" affirmation. No longer accepting the Word of God as is by faith, they no longer have a guilty conscience when believers confront them, i.e., preach, teach, and attempt to discuss the Word of God with them, turning and rending them instead, i.e., censoring them, i.e., excommunicating them "without writ."

"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

Facilitators of 'change,' i.e., psychologists, i.e., behavioral "scientists," i.e., "group psychotherapists," i.e., Marxists (Transformational Marxists)—all being the same in method or formula—are using the dialoguing of opinions to a consensus (affirmation) process, i.e., dialectic 'reasoning' ('reasoning' from/through the students "feelings" of the 'moment,' i.e., from/through their "lust" for pleasure and their hate of restraint, in the "light" of their desire for group approval, i.e., affirmation and fear of group rejection) in the "group grade," "safe zone/space/place," "Don't be negative, be positive," soviet style, brainwashing (washing the father's/Father's authority from the children's thoughts and actions, i.e., "theory and practice," negating their having a guilty conscience, which the father's/father's authority engenders, for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning in the process—called "the negation of negation" since the father's/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/Father's authority), inductive 'reasoning' ('reasoning' from/through the students "feelings," i.e., their natural inclination to "lust" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment'—dopamine emancipation—which the world stimulates, i.e., their "self interest," i.e., their "sense experience," selecting "appropriate information"—excluding, ignoring, or resisting, i.e., rejecting any "inappropriate" information, i.e., established command, rule, fact, or truth that gets in the way of their desired outcome, i.e., 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, i.e., from the father's/Father's authority system (the Patriarchal Paradigm)—seducing, deceiving, and manipulating them as chickens, rats, and dogs, i.e., 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, i.e., "lust" 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, i.e., "self" 'justification,' i.e., dialectic (dialogue) 'reasoning," i.e., 'reasoning' from/through your "feelings," i.e., 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, i.e., the father's/Father's authority, i.e., having to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline your "self" in order to do the father's/Father's will, negating Romans 7:14-25, i.e., your having a guilty conscience when you do wrong, disobey, sin, thereby negating your having to repent before the father/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," i.e., 'justify' their love of "self" and the world, i.e., 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

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14
