Introduction:
Part 18

"No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon." Luke 16:13
"Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." James 4:4
"If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." 1 John 2:15b

    Love engenders hate, i.e., love of pleasure engenders hate of restraint, i.e., hatred toward the restrainer. You can not hate someone without them restraining you (perceived or real) from having access to the person(s) or the thing(s) you love, i.e., that you gain pleasure from. When you love someone, you, by nature, hate whoever prevents, i.e., blocks or inhibits you from "having relationship" with them, in the 'moment.' If you love your father, for example, you hate your "self" for disobeying him. But, it you love your "self," you, by nature, hate your father for keeping you from having what it is you want when you want it, i.e., your "self interest." The same is true for objects you love. By "building relationships upon self interest," hatred toward the father's/Father's authority system, i.e., toward Godly restraint, i.e., toward nationalism, i.e., toward sovereignty, i.e., toward "Mine. Not yours" is naturally engendered in all who participate.
    The father's/Father's "top-down" authority system can only be overcome (negated) through the child's use of dialectic 'reasoning, i.e., through "self" 'justification,' i.e., through the pattern of Genesis 3:1-6, allowing the child to be at-one-with, i.e., in Synthesis (consensus) with nature, i.e., "of and for self" and the world only, in thought and in action, i.e., "in theory and practice," where all children, with their personal desires, i.e., their "self interests" can become at-one-with one another, i.e., in a "group," with their actions (building relationships and building projects together as one) become one and the same, i.e., unite in consensus, i.e., in a "feeling" of "oneness," 'creating' a world of "can"—where nothing is impossible (in their eyes). Thus they no longer need a savior, having saved themselves (with themselves), i.e., having, through dialectic 'reasoning,' i.e., through "self" 'justification' 'reconciled' their "self" with their "selves," in a world of pleasure (Eros), 'redeeming' their "self" from the father's/Father's "top-down" authority system in the process, even calling it (their love for one another, void the father's/Father's love which chastens) agape.
