How Policy Is Made Determines Policy.

"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
"The heart is deceitful above all things [thinking pleasure (lust) 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 (lusts after)]: who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9 It can not see its hate of the father's/Father's authority as being evil, i.e., "wicked," i.e., "desperately wicked" because it's lust for pleasure is standing in the way, 'justifying' the hate.
"In an ordinary discussion people usually hold relatively fixed positions and argue in favour of their views as they try to convince others to change." (Bohm and Peat, Science, Order, and Creativity) Discussion divides upon being right and not wrong, i.e., KNOWING, which is formal, i.e., judgmental, i.e., the father/Father retains his authority in discussion, i.e., has the final say, i.e., "Because I said so," "Never the less," "It is written." Majority vote retains the father's/Father's authority system although the father might loss out on the particular issue at hand.
"A dialogue is essentially a conversation between equals." "The spirit of dialogue, is in short, the ability to hold many points of view in suspension, along with a primary interest in the creation of common meaning." (Bohm and Peat, Science, Order, and Creativity) Dialogue unites upon "feelings," i.e., "I feel" and/or "I think," i.e., an opinion, which is informal, i.e., non-judgmental, i.e., the child retains his carnal nature in dialogue, having the final say (against authority, i.e., absolutes, i.e., the father's/Father's authority). There is no father's/Father's authority in dialogue, or in an opinion, or in the consensus process. There is only the child's natural inclination to lust after pleasure and hate restraint being 'justified.' Dialogue moves opinions to a consensus, negating the father's/Father's authority and the guilty conscience it engenders in the process.
"Bypassing the traditional channels of top-down decision making [the father's/Father's authority] our objective centers upon transforming public opinion into an effective instrument of global politics." "Individual values must be measured by their contribution to common 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." (Ervin Laszlo, A Strategy for the Future: The Systems Approach to World Order)
In discussion there is only one right answer. We might disagree on what that is with me saying "I am right and your are wrong" and you saying "I am right and you are wrong." Yet we recognize there is only one right answer. In dialogue there are many "right" answers, i.e., everyone is entitled to their opinion. This effects policy. How policy is made determines policy. When policy is made via discussion, the father's/Father's authority remains in place, i.e., has the final say. When policy is made via dialogue, the child's carnal nature remains in place, i.e., has the final say. When the father/Father determines or establishes policy it is by 1) preaching commands and rules to be obeyed as given, teaching facts and truth to be accepted as is, by faith, and discussing any question(s) those under his/His authority might have regarding the commands, rules, facts, and truth being taught, at his/His discretion, i.e., providing he/He deems it necessary, has time, those under his/His authority are able to understand, and are not questioning, challenging, defying, disregarding, attacking his/His authority, 2) rewarding those under his/His authority who humble, deny, die to, control, discipline, capitulate their self in order to do right and not wrong according to the commands, rules, facts, and truth they have been taught, 3) correcting and/or chastening those under his/His authority who do wrong and/or disobey, that they might learn to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline, capitulate their "self" and do right and not wrong according to the commands, rules, facts, and truth they have been taught, i.e., in order to do the father's/Fathers' will, and 4) casting out (expelling/grounding) anyone under his/His authority who questions, challenges, defies, disregards, attacks his/His authority.
"And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 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? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. 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." Hebrews 12:5-11
"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
"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 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:'" (Norman O. Brown, Life Against Death: The Psychoanalytical Meaning of History) The "guilty conscience" as viewed (explained) by a Marxist. Not only are the standards of the past brought into the present so is the father's/Father's authority system, which engenders the guilty conscience for disobeying them, which, to the Marxist must be negated.
When children determine or establish policy it is by doing what they want, when the want, trying to avoid getting caught, having a guilty conscience (fear of getting caught) when they think about what they are doing or what they have done. The child is therefore caught between discussion, i.e., the father's/Father's authority, i.e., doing right and not wrong according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth and dialogue, i.e., his "feelings," i.e., his natural inclination to lust after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world, i.e., the current situation and/or people are stimulating and hate restraint, resolving the tension by doing what he is told while thinking on (imagining) what he wants to do, i.e., his lusts, keeping it to his self for fear of being condemned and/or cast out. When he does do what he wants (thinking he can "get away with it") he develops a guilty conscience (when he thinks he is going to get caught or is caught). When it comes to determining behavior, when he leans toward discussion the father's/Father's authority, i.e., doing right and not wrong according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth rules. When he leans toward dialogue, his carnal nature, i.e., his natural inclination to lust after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates rules.
"Authoritarian submission [humbling, denying, dying to, controlling, disciplining, capitulating "self" in order to do the father's/Father's will] was conceived of as a very general attitude that would be evoked in relation to a variety of authority figures—parents, older people, leaders, supernatural power, and so forth." "God is conceived more directly after a parental image and thus as a source of support and as a guiding and sometimes punishing authority." "Submission to authority, desire for a strong leader, subservience of the individual to the state [parental authority, local control, Nationalism], and so forth, have so frequently and, as it seems to us, correctly, been set forth as important aspects of the Nazi creed that a search for correlates of prejudice had naturally to take these attitudes into account." "The power-relationship between the parents, the domination of the subject's family by the father or by the mother, and their relative dominance in specific areas of life also seemed of importance for our problem." (Theodor Adorno, The Authoritarian Personality)
"... the central problem is to change reality.… reality with its 'obedience to laws.'" (György Lukács, History & Class Consciousness: What is Orthodox Marxism?)
While the law, being perfect can save no one, it only reveals we are imperfect, i.e., condemns us for our sins, i.e., for our carnal nature, i.e., for our lusting after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates. It is the Lord, Jesus Christ, who fulfilled the law, i.e., who obeyed the Father in all things commanded who 'redeems' us from our sins (and eternal death), by his death (shed blood) on the cross, imputing his righteousness to us by our faith in him, with the Father 'reconciling' us to Himself in His resurrection of the Son from the grave. "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians. 2:8, 9 The gospel is based upon the Father's authority. Negate the Father's authority (leave it out of the gospel message—without the Father you have no Son, without the son you have not Father) and you negate the gospel message, i.e., your need of a savior.
"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 5:30; 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
"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
"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
"And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." 1 John 2:18
"... it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps." Jeremiah 10:23
"Despotism ... predominates in the human heart." "If, in the opinion of the people, the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation [by those in one branch of government ruling over another (which the consensus process, i.e., setting aside the rules in order to "get along" does]; for, though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed." (George Washington, Farewell Address)
"Every system of law known to civilized society generated from or had as its component one of two well known systems of ethics, stoic or Christian. The COMMON LAW draws its subsistence from the latter, its roots go deep into that system, the Christian concept of right and wrong or right and justice motivates every rule of equity. It is the guide by which we dissolve domestic friction's and the rule by which all legal controversies are settled." (Strauss Vs. Strauss., 3 So. 2nd 727, 728, 1941)
"The justice of state constitutions is to be decided not on the basis of Christianity, not from the nature of Christian society but from the nature of human society." "The state arises out of the exigencies of man's nature [lusts]." "Laws must not fetter human life [lust]; but yield to it; they must change as the needs [lusts] and capacities of the people [the lusts and capacities of the facilitator of 'change'] change." (Karl Marx, Critique of Hegel's 'Philosophy of Right') Whenever the facilitator of 'change' says "the people," he means his self, since he perceives his self as being the personification of "the people," since they like him lust after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates and hate restraint.
ROE V WADE made law subject to the carnal nature, i.e., lusts of man "there has always been strong support for the view [opinion] that life does not begin until live birth. This was the belief of the Stoics." (ROE v. WADE, 410 U.S. 113 15, 1973)
For the facilitator of 'change,' i.e., the psychotherapist, i.e., the Marxist (transformational Marxist—who merges Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud, i.e., socialism and psychology, i.e., society and the individual) it is the father's/Father's authority that engenders the guilty conscience for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning, i.e., for lusting after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world, i.e., the current situation and/or people are stimulating and it is guilty conscience that engenders "repression," i.e., not being able to do what you want, i.e., lust, "alienation," i.e., separation from others who have the same wants, i.e., lusts, and "neurosis," i.e., having a guilty conscience for being your self, i.e., "of the world" which stimulates lusts. Therefore, in order to 'create' a "healthy" person (void of "repression," "alienation," and "neurosis"), a "healthy" environment must be 'created,' an environment void of the father's/Father's authority and the guilty conscience which the father's/Father's authority engenders for being "healthy," so children (and the facilitator of 'change') can lust after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates, i.e., be "healthy" without feeling guilty.
"The individual may have 'secret' thoughts ["lusts"] which he will under no circumstances reveal to anyone else if he can help it [out of fear of being judged, rejected, and/or punished]. To gain access [through getting him or her to dialogue, i.e., to share his or her "feelings," i.e., carnal desires and dissatisfactions of the 'moment' (that he is internally, i.e., privately struggling with) with others] is particularly important, for here may lie the individual's potential [for 'change,' i.e., to become of and for his or her "self" and the world only—'liberated' from the father's/Father's authority]." (Adorno)
"And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you." 2 Peter 2:3 All the facilitator of 'change' has to do is find out what you are lusting after, i.e., what you "covet" (by bring you into dialogue) and affirm it, and he "owns" you. It is what the master facilitator of 'change' did with the woman in the garden in Eden (with Adam following after her).
If I can 'discover' (through dialogue) what you "covet," i.e., your self interest, and 'justify' it, I "own" you.
"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." (Carl Rogers, on becoming a person: A Therapist View of Psychotherapy)
"In the dialogic relation of recognizing oneself [one's inclination to lust after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates, hating restraint] 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)
"There is no more important issue than the interrelationship of the group members." "To question the value or activities of the group, would be to thrust himself into a state of dissonance." "Few individuals, as Asch has shown, can maintain their objectivity in the face of apparent group unanimity." (Irvin D. Yalom, The Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy)
"Group members must be able to synthesize individual 'felt' needs [lusts] with common group 'felt' needs [lusts]." (Warren Bennis, The Temporary Society
"Only when the immediate interests [lusts] are integrated into a total view and related to the final goal of the process ['liberation' from the father's/Father's authority] do they become revolutionary," (Lukács)
"The revolution that must occur is the reaction of suppressed life, which will visit the causality of fate upon the rulers." (Habermas)
When the facilitator of 'change' determines or establishes policy it is by encouraging (pressuring) those under his "authority" (those who have come under his influence, i.e., his seduction, deception, and manipulation) to dialogue their opinions to a consensus (there is no father's/Father's authority in dialogue, in an opinion, or in the consensus process, there is only the child's carnal nature, i.e., lust being 'justified'), thereby 'justifying' their (and his) natural inclination to lust after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world, i.e., the current situation and/or people are stimulating, so he can do wrong, disobey, sin, i.e., lust after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world, i.e., the current situation and/or people are stimulating without having a guilty conscience (which the father's/Father's authority engenders), with "the people's" affirmation—approving their (both the facilitator of 'change's' and "the peoples") natural inclination to lust after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world, i.e., the current situation and/or people are stimulating, thus 'justifying' their resentment, i.e., their hatred toward the father/Father and his/His authority that inhibits or blocks (prevents) them from enjoying the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates, 'justifying' their removing him/Him, i.e., his/His authority from society, i.e., from the world (by whatever means possible) without having a guilty conscience.
"To enjoy the present reconciles us to the actual." (Karl Marx, Critique of Hegel's 'Philosophy of Right')
"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." "The foundation on which the man of the future will be built is already there, in the repressed unconscious [in the carnal nature of the child]; the foundation has to be recovered [the child has to be 'liberated' from the father's/Father's authority]." (Brown)
"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." (Kurt Lewin; A Dynamic Theory of Personality) The "negative valence," i.e., guilty conscience can not be negated until the father's/Father's authority is removed from the room, i.e., from the child's mind. Thus the need for the facilitator of 'change' to create a "positive," "open ended," "non-directive," "safe" environment, void of the father's/Father's authority, so everyone can share their lusts, i.e., their lust for pleasure, which incudes your lust for approval from others, affirming their lusts, and hate of restraint, i.e., hatred toward the father's/Father's authority for getting in the way) without fear of being condemned, rejected, and/or cast out.
According to Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, at al. it is lust that "reconciles" man to "the world." It is therefore imperative that the father's/Father's authority be negated in the child's (the people's) thoughts, i.e., from the world that stimulates his (their) thoughts so the Marxist, i.e., the psychotherapist, i.e., the facilitator of 'change' can do wrong, disobey, sin, i.e., lust after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates without having a guilty conscience, with the child's (the people's) affirmation (and support).
"Once the earthly family [where children have to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline, capitulate their self in order to do the father's will] is discovered to be the secret of the Holy family [where the son of God, Jesus Christ humbled, denied, died to, controlled, disciplined, capitulated his self in order to do the Father's will], the former must then itself be destroyed [vernichtet, i.e., annihilated, i.e., negated] in theory and in practice [in the children's thoughts, directly effecting their actions, i.e., their behavior toward their self, others, the world, and authority]." (Karl Marx, Feuerbach Thesis #4)
"... 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." (Sigmund Freud in Herbert Marcuse, Eros and Civilization: a psychological inquiry into Freud) 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, 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, i.e., their lusts of the 'moment' that the world stimulates.
"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, i.e., including the most basic scheme as true-good social conditions ['liberation' of "self" from the father's/Father's authority] are necessary for personal growth, bad social conditions [submission of "self" to the father's/Father's authority] 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)
"I've decided to get into the World Federalists, become pro-UN, & the like." "Only a world government with world-shared values could be trusted or permitted to take such powers. If only for such a reason a world government is necessary. It too would have to evolve. I suppose it would be weak or lousy or even corrupt at first―it certainly doesn't amount to much now & won't until sovereignty is given up little by little by 'nations.'" "The whole discussion becomes species-wide, One World, at least so far as the guiding goal is concerned. To get to that goal is politics & is in time and space & will take a long time & cost much blood." ". . . A caretaker government could immediately start training for democracy & self-government & give it little by little, as deserved." "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.)" ibid.
"Self-actualizing people have to a large extent transcended the values of their culture [their parent's/God's authority aka the father's/Father's authority]. They are not so much merely Americans as they are world citizens, members of the human species first and foremost." (Abraham Maslow, The Farther Reaches of Human Nature)
"I have found whenever I ran across authoritarian students that the best thing for me to do was to break their backs immediately." "The correct thing to do with authoritarians is to take them realistically for the bastards they are and then behave toward them as if they were bastards." (Abraham Maslow, Maslow on Management)
The difference between traditional "top-down" (limited, Constitutional) government, i.e., policy making and common-ism aka Socialism, Communism, Globalism is in former (through preaching, teaching, and discussing, rewarding, chastening, and casting out) 1) the individual must humble, deny, die to, control, discipline, capitulate his self in order (as in "old" world order") to do right and not wrong according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth, i.e., in order to do the father's/Father's will (which means there is only one right answer), 2) since there is only one right answer for the individual, i.e., the father's/Father's ("higher authorities")— all others being wrong—individualism, under God is engendering, 3) therefore majority vote, which while retaining the father's/Father's authority, i.e., division based upon right and wrong, resolves physical conflict, 'creating' society, allowing work to get done, while in the latter (through the use of dialogue) 1) the individual's self is esteemed, 'justifying' his lusts, i.e., his self interest, 2) requiring "the group's" approval, i.e., the consensus process, i.e., affirmation, 3) engendering attraction toward the facilitator of 'change,' i.e., the new authority figure who 'justifying' the individual's, i.e., "the group's," i.e., "the peoples" carnal nature, "helping" them 'liberate' their self from the father's/Father's authority so they can be their self, i.e., so they (along with the facilitator of 'change') can be their self, lusting after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world, i.e., the current situation and/or people are stimulating without having a guilty conscience, with each others affirmation. "Every one that is proud in heart [who 'justifies' his self, i.e., his lusts before men] is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished." Proverbs 16:5
"Without exception, [children, parents, community leaders, ministers, etc.,] enter group therapy [the "group grade" classroom] with the history of a highly unsatisfactory experience in their first and most important group—their primary family [the traditional home with parents telling them what they can and can not do]." "What better way to help [the child, the parent, the community leader, the minister] recapture the past than to allow him to re-experience and reenact ancient feelings [resentment, hostility] toward parents [those telling him what he can and can not do] in his current relationship to the therapist [the facilitator of 'change]? The [facilitator of 'change'] is the living personification of all parental images [takes the place of the parent, the authority figure, i.e., God]. [Facilitators of 'change'] refuse to fill the traditional authority role: they do not lead in the ordinary manner, they do not provide answers and solutions [teach right from wrong from established commands, rules, facts, and truth], they urge the group [the children, the parents, the community leaders, the ministers, etc., i.e., "the group"] to explore and to employ its own resources [to dialogue their "feelings," i.e., their carnal desires (lusts, i.e., self interests) and dissatisfactions of the 'moment' in the "light" of the current situation, i.e., their desire for "the group" approval (affirmation)]. The group [[the children, the parents, the community leaders, the ministers, etc.,] must feel free to confront the [the facilitator of 'change'], who must not only permit, but encourage, such confrontation [rebellion and anarchy]. He [the child, the parent, the community leader, the minister, etc.,] reenacts early family scripts in the group and, if therapy [brainwashing—washing respect for and fear of the father's/Father's authority from the child's, the parent's, the community leader's, the minister's brain (thoughts) ] is successful, is able to experiment with new behavior, to break free from the locked family role [submitting to the father's/Father's authority, i.e., doing the father's/Father's will] he once occupied. … the patient [the child, the parent, the community leader, the minister, i.e.,] changes the past by reconstituting it ['creating' a "new" world order from his "ought," i.e., a world "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the current situation and/or people are stimulating, i.e., a world void of the father's/Father's authority and the guilty conscience which 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 current situation and/or people are stimulating]." (Irvin D. Yalom, The Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy)
"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?'" (Rogers)
"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)
"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." "At one end of the continuum the individual avoids close relationships, which are perceived as being dangerous. At the other end he lives openly and freely in relation to the therapist and to others, guiding his behavior on the basis of his immediate experiencing – he has become an integrated process of changingness." (Rogers)
"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
When policy is made via discussion (Robert's Rules of Order demands discussion) the father's/Father's authority is retained, i.e., established commands, rules, facts, and truth are retained, i.e., the father/Father has the final say, i.e., established commands, rules, facts, and truth have the final say, engendering individualism, under God, i.e., freedom of the conscience, speech, and religion. When policy is made via dialogue (the consensus process) the children have the final say, i.e., "the lust of the flesh," "the lust of the eyes," and "the pride of life" has the final say. The facilitator of 'change' has only one objective, when it comes to establishing policy, moving communication away from discussion (commands, rules, facts, and truth, i.e., the father's/Father's authority) toward dialogue (feelings, i.e., the child's carnal nature) so he can rule over the children with their affirmation, using them as "human resource" to satisfy his own lusts, void of having a guilty conscience for throwing them away, i.e., "under the bus" when they get in his way (or no longer bring him pleasure). Anyone following him, letting him determine how policy is made must accept his casting them away, i.e., "under the bus" when they get in his way, doing to them what they did to the father/Father for getting in their way, i.e., in the way of their lusts. It is the pathway (which ends in eternal death, i.e., in the lake of fire that is never quenched) they have chosen to take. The road to "Utopia," i.e., "worldly peace and socialist harmony" is paved with the bodies of those who got in the way, including the unborn, the elderly, the innocent, the righteous.
"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)
"He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son." 1 John 2:22
Question the use of psychology (Marxism) today, even in the "church" and you will discover how quickly someone can be 'labeled,' rejected, censored, and cast out. Adam and the woman were cast out of the garden for 'justifying' lust. You will be cast out of the "church" for condemning lust. It is whereby policy is made today, even in the "church." Entertain them and they will come (and keep coming back).
"Do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ." Galatians 1:10
"By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil." Proverbs 16:6
"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
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," "open ended, non-directed," 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)—as predators, charlatans, pimps, pedophiles, 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
