It Is All About Control.
(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 [your lusts] before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men [lust] is abomination in the sight of God." Luke 16:15

"The heart is deceitful above all things [thinking pleasure, i.e., lust is the 'purpose' of life instead of doing the father's/Father's will], and desperately wicked [hating (not caring what happens to) anyone who gets in the way of lust ("Am I my brother's keeper?"); including the unborn, the elderly, the innocent, the righteous]: who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9 You can not see your hatred toward restraint, i.e., hatred toward the father's/Father's authority as being evil, i.e., "wicked" because your lust for pleasure, i.e., lust is standing in the way, 'justifying' your hate. Whoever identifies your lusts and then 'justifies' them owns you.

"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." (Carl Rogers, on becoming a person: A Therapist View of Psychotherapy)

The soul KNOWS from being told, requiring you to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline, capitulate your self in order to hear and receive the truth while the flesh knows from "sense experience," requiring you to 'justify' your self in order for you to lust after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates without having a guilty conscience.

"And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word." 1Kings 18:21 Making God's Word subject to your opinion makes it possible for you, like a drunken sailor to wobble (stagger) all over the place, thinking you are in control.

Whoever controls the definition of terms controls your life. Either those "of the world" define terms for you, 'justifying' your self, i.e., your natural inclination to lust after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' (dopamine emancipation) that the world, i.e., the current situation and/or people are stimulating (thereby 'justifying' their self, i.e., their natural inclination to lust after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment,' i.e., dopamine emancipation that the world, i.e., the current situation and/or people are stimulating, which is their main agenda) or the father/Father defines terms for you, requiring you to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline, capitulate your self in order hear his commands, rules, facts, and truth and do right and not wrong according to them, i.e., in order to do his/His will, engendering a guilty conscience in you when you are thinking about doing, have done, or are doing wrong, disobeying, sinning, i.e., lusting after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' (dopamine emancipation) that the world, i.e., the current situation and/or people are stimulating, leading you, under conviction to either do right or if you have done wrong, to ask for forgiveness, repent, turn from doing wrong, doing right, doing the father's/Father's will instead. As explained in the issue dopamine emancipation the child is not in love with the toy, he is in love with the pleasure (the dopamine) the toy stimulates (emancipates) in him, wanting to control the environment, i.e., the toy in order to stimulate more pleasure (dopamine emancipation) in him in the future (thinking about it, which stimulates dopamine emancipation not being the same as having the real thing), hating anyone telling him to put the toy up or taking it way (thus missing out on or being cut off from dopamine emancipation), casting the toy aside when it no longer brings him pleasure (dopamine emancipation) or a toy comes along that takes it place, i.e., that stimulates more dopamine emancipation in him than it. This applies to adults as well, replacing toys with people, casting people aside (including the unborn, the elderly, the innocent, the righteous) when they no longer bring them pleasure (stimulate dopamine emancipation), i.e., when they no longer satisfy their lusts or get in their way, looking for others who will take their place, i.e., who will satisfy their lusts instead. When it comes to the child's nature (lusting after pleasure, i.e., dopamine emancipation and hating restraint, i.e., hating the father's/Father's authority for getting in the way of the dopamine 'moment,' i.e., the "eternal present") and the father's/Father's authority (rejecting, i.e., turning away from, i.e., fleeing from lust in order to do right and not wrong according to the father's/Father's established commands, rules, facts, and truth), despite what you might think there is no in between. You either submit your self to the father's/Father's authority, doing the father's/Father's will (making dopamine emancipation subject to the father's/Father's will) or 'justify' your self, i.e., your lusts (in disobedience to the father/Father) doing your will instead (making your self subject to dopamine emancipation and the world that stimulates it, thus making you subject to anyone manipulating the world, and therefore you to satisfy their carnal pleasures, i.e., their lusts). Because your soul is eternal and your flesh is not, the Father is concerned about your soul, i.e., where you will spend eternity (which requires you to do right and not wrong according to His standards, i.e., being told) while those "of the world" are only concerned about their flesh, i.e., the carnal pleasures (lusts) of the 'moment' that the world, i.e., the current situation and/or people are stimulating, seducing, deceiving, and manipulating you into 'justifying' your (and therefore their) self, i.e., your (and therefore their) lusts, establishing your (and therefore their) self, i.e., your (and their) lusts over and therefore against the father's/Father's authority so they can 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—without you or anyone else judging them, i.e., without having any sense of accountability to the father/Father for their carnal thoughts and carnal actions—with your approval, i.e., your affirmation. Without your affirmation (which includes your silence—Qui tacet consentit, i.e., silence gives consent) the guilty conscience, i.e., fear of judgment (accountability) remains, making them "desperate" in their effort to silence (remove/negate) anyone who gets in their way (including you).

"The major barrier to mutual interpersonal communication ["barrier" to common-ism, which is based upon "human nature," i.e., lust for pleasure and hatred toward restraint which is common to all people] is our very natural tendency to judge, to evaluate, to approve or disapprove, the statement of the other person, or the other group [making them accountable to our father's/Father's established commands, rules, facts, and truth—which is equated to "prejudice"]." (Rogers)

"This voice which really isn't you [the father/Father] but tells you the way the world works is a direct attack on creativity [on you being God, creating the world in your image, according to your lusts, thus 'justifying' your lust]. We have to work to remove it [the guilty conscience and the father's/Father's authority that engenders it, for lusting after the things of the world]." "When we learn to silence the inner voice [the guilty conscience which the father's/Father's authority engenders] that judges yourself and others, there is no limit to what we can accomplish ["And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do." Genesis 11:6], individually and as part of a team. Absence of judgment [absence of the father's/Father's authority] makes you more receptive to innovative ideas [to other ways of looking at things, i.e., to reason from your self, i.e., from your lusts of the 'moment' instead of from the father's/Father's established commands, rules, facts, and truth—which, to those of the world, engenders "neurosis," i.e., a guilty conscience for being "human"—"repressing" you (not being able to satisfy your lusts) and "alienating" you from others (preventing you from "building relationship" with others who have the same lusts, i.e., self interests)]." (Michael Ray in Abraham Maslow, Maslow on Management)

"Not feeling at home in the sinful world [not feeling "good" being called a sinner, feeling guilty for lusting after dopamine emancipation]. Critical Criticism [dialogue, i.e., lust 'justified' and put into action] must set up a sinful world in its own home [remove anyone getting in the way of lust, i.e., inhibiting or blocking dopamine emancipation] ." "Critical Criticism is a spiritualistic lord, pure spontaneity, actus purus, intolerant of any influence from without." (Karl Marx, The Holy Family) There is no father's/Father's authority, i.e., established command, rule, fact, and truth in dialogue (or in an opinion, or in the consensus process) There is only the child's carnal desires (lusts) of the 'moment' (dopamine emancipation) being 'justified.' When the child wants to 'justify' the world of lust, i.e., of dopamine emancipation he goes to dialogue, resenting (hating), i.e., wanting to remove (negate) anyone cutting off dialogue ("Because I said so," "Never the less," "It is written"—the father/Father cutting off the child's "Why?" which is voiced in response to the father's/Father's command or rule that is in the way of the child's carnal desire of the 'moment,' i.e., dopamine emancipation that the world is stimulating).

"The dialectical method [the dialoguing of opinions to a consensus process] was overthrown—the parts [the children] were prevented from finding their definition [their identity] within the whole [within "the group," i.e., within society, i.e., within "the world"]." (György Lukács, History & Class Consciousness: What is Orthodox Marxism?) As long as the father's/Father's authority (judgment for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning, i.e., for lusting) remains in place in the child's thoughts, the child can not lust without having a guilty conscience, preventing, i.e., inhibiting or blocking him from 'discovering' his self in the other children who have the same lusts.

By controlling the environment where right and wrong behavior is being decided (silencing any decent, i.e., "judgmentalism," i.e., "negativity") those "of (and for) the world" are able to do wrong, disobey, sin, i.e., to lust after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world, i.e., that the current situation and/or people are stimulating, without having a guilty conscience, i.e., without having any sense of accountability for their carnal thoughts and carnal actions—not being concerned about where you (or they) will spend eternity (since the here-and-now, i.e. lust and the world, i.e., the current situation and/or people who are stimulating dopamine emancipation is their only concern, i.e., interest).

"No man 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." Matthew 6:24

"Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?" Romans 6:16

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

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

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

The objective of those "of the world" is to seduce, deceive, and manipulate you into 'justifying' your self, i.e., your lusts over and therefore against the father's/Father's authority, in order for them to negate their having a guilty conscience for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning, i.e., for lusting after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' (dopamine emancipation) that the world, i.e., the current situation and/or people are stimulating—with your approval, i.e., your affirmation. Their controlling the environment (where right and wrong behavior is defined) guarantees their desires outcome, i.e., their ability to lust after the things of the world without having any sense of accountability, i.e., without their having a guilty conscience for their carnal thoughts and carnal actions, with your affirmation.

"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." (Rogers)

"Experience ["sense experience," i.e., lust for pleasure and hatred toward restraint] is, for me, the highest authority." "Neither the Bible nor the prophets, neither the revelations of God [the Father's authority] can take precedence over my own direct experience [my natural inclination to lust after pleasure and hate restraint, i.e., hate the father's/Father's authority for getting in the way]." (Rogers)

" 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) By making stimulus-response, impulses, and urges (instincts), i.e., that which is "of the world" only (the animal's nature) the means to knowing the truth, the soul, i.e., that which God created ("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), i.e., that KNOWS from being told (God then told Adam what he could and could not do, i.e., what he could eat and what he could not eat if he wanted to live and not die, Genesis 2:16, 17) is negated. Ignoring the fact that no animal can read or write books, i.e., can be told or tell others what is right and wrong behavior, i.e., can reason from established commands, rules, facts, and truth, i.e., from being told, those "of the world," who can read and write books, i.e., who can reason from established commands, rules, facts, and truth, i.e., who can reason from being told insist upon man being subject to stimulus-response, impulses, and urges (instincts) only, so they can lust after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates without being accountable to God (to the father's/Father's authority), i.e., without having a guilty conscience. Making reasoning subject to stimulus-response, i.e., to lust for pleasure and hatred toward restraint (approach pleasure-avoid pain, i.e., self preservation) man, made in the image of God (reasoning from established commands, rules, facts, and truth) is turned into an animal—to be (like Thorndike's chickens, Skinner's rats, Pavlov's dog) seduced, deceived, and manipulated for someone's pleasure or negated, euthanized if he refuses to co-operate, no longer serves the owners purpose, or gets in his way, i.e., costs him time and money he no longer wants to spend (on him; since money is stored up pleasure, i.e., dopamine emancipation, spending it on that which does not stimulate dopamine emancipation is a waste of time).

Karl Marx simply redefined "the lust of the flesh" as "sensuous need," "the lust of the eyes" as "sense perception," and "the pride of life" as "sense experience" making "only that which proceeds from Nature," i.e., only that which is "of the world" the foundation from which to determine right and wrong behavior, negating the father's/Father's authority authority, thereby negating 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—which the father's/Father's authority engenders—so he could 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, i.e., without (in his mind) being held accountable for his carnal thought and carnal actions.

"To enjoy the present reconciles us to the actual." (Karl Marx, Critique of Hegel's 'Philosophy of Right')

In other words, for Karl Marx, et al. it is "lust" that "reconciles" you to "the world" ('justifying' your hatred toward restraint), making lust for pleasure (and hatred toward restraint), i.e., all that is "of the world" all there is that is "actual." Lust for pleasure and hatred toward restraint is the foundation for "self-actualization." If, when exposed to (stimulated by) the world you do not demonstrate (respond with) lust for pleasure and hatred toward restraint you have not become "self-actualized."

"In a democratic society a patriarchal culture should make us depressed instead of glad; it [a patriarchal culture, i.e., the father's/Father's authority] is an argument against the higher possibilities of human nature, of self actualization." (Abraham Maslow, Maslow on Management)

"It is not individualism [doing the father's/Father's will] that fulfills the individual [that satisfies his lusts], on the contrary it destroys him [it prevents him from becoming his self, i.e., from satisfying his lusts, i.e., from fulfilling his self interests]. Society [compromise in order to "get things done"] is the necessary framework through which freedom [freedom from the father's/Father's authority and the guilty conscience it engenders] and individuality [freedom to lust after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates without having a guilty conscience, with affirmation] are made realities." (Karl Marx, in John Lewis, The Life and Teachings of Karl Marx)

"Once the earthly family [where children have to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline, capitulate their self, i.e., miss out on lust in order to do their 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 and in their actions, i.e., in their relationship with one another]." (Karl Marx, Feuerbach Thesis #4)

Sigmund Freud thought the same way.

"Self-perfection of the human individual is fulfilled in union with the world in pleasure." "Eros [lust] 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]."(Norman O. Brown, Life Against Death: The Psychoanalytical Meaning of History)

"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 father no longer exercises his authority in his home or in his business]." (Sigmund Freud in Herbert Marcuse, Eros and Civilization: a psychological inquiry into Freud)

"I have found whenever I ran across authoritarian students [those who submit their self to the father's/Father's authority] 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)

Those of the world see the father/Father and his/His authority as being the "problem."

"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 [how to 'liberate' children from parental authority, man from God's authority so they can be their "self," i.e., "actualize" their "self," no longer seeing their "self" as being subject to a higher authority other then to their carnal desires (lusts) of the 'moment' that the world stimulates, and those 'justifying' it]." (Theodor Adorno, The Authoritarian Personality)

"... the central problem is to change reality.… reality with its 'obedience to laws.'" (Lukács)

"Lawfulness without law." (Immanuel Kant, Critique of Judgment)

Immanuel Kant wrote of a time when human nature, i.e., lust would be in total control of the citizens thoughts and actions, "without" the father's/Father's authority and the guilty conscience which it engenders getting in the way, i.e., where the here-and-now, i.e., the lusts of the 'moment' would negate the there-and-then, i.e., any sense of 'judgment' (damnation) for one's carnal thoughts and carnal actions.

"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

Without the father's/Father's authority, i.e., "rule of law" all you have is your self, i.e., your natural inclination to lust after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world, i.e., the current situation and/or people are stimulating, 'justifying' your self, i.e., your lusts before others.

"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 law can save no one. It only exposes our sinful nature, i.e., our need for a savior to 'redeem' us from judgment (damnation) for making our self God, i.e., for establishing the law of the flesh, i.e., lust, i.e., dopamine emancipation and the world that stimulates it over and therefore against the law of God, i.e., over and therefore against doing the Father's will.

"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

"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

"Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven." Matthew 10:32, 33

"Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me." Matthew 16:24 Let him deny his lusts, endure the rejection of others for not affirming, i.e., 'justifying' their lust, and follow the Lord, doing the Father's will.

"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

"Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth." Ephesians 6:1-3

While the "earthly father," i.e., dad is not perfect, he may be (or may have been) a down right tyrant (or MIA/AWL) his office of authority is perfect, having been given to him by God (the "Heavenly Father"), who is perfect, in which to do His will. Besides providing food, clothing, safety, and a roof over his families head, loving his wife, his God given duty is to train up his children in the admonition of the Lord—doing the Father's will—as well as to teach them how to "pull weeds," i.e., to work, i.e., to get off their duff (expecting someone to wait on them, i.e., to feed their lusts) and grow up (take accountability for their thoughts and actions). The father's/Father's authority (the Patriarchal paradigm) is based upon the 1) preaching of established commands and rules to be obeyed as given, the teaching of established facts and truth to be accepted as is, by faith, and the discussing of any question(s) the children might have regarding the commands, rules, facts, and truth being taught, at the father's/Father's discretion, i.e., providing he/He deems it necessary, has time, the children are able to understand, and are not questioning, challenging, defying, disregarding, attacking his/His authority, 2) rewarding the children who do right and obey, 3) correcting and/or chastening the child who does wrong and/or disobeys, that he might learn to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline, capitulate his "self" in order to do right and not wrong according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth, i.e., in order to do the father's/Fathers' will, and 4) casting out (expelling/grounding) any child who questions, challenges, defies, disregards, attacks his/His authority. Warning: by focusing upon the family, i.e., relationship between the husband-wife and father-children, i.e., coming between the husband and his wife, the father and his children in the name of "building relations," the husband's-father's authority is negated.

"Any non-family-based collectivity that intervenes between parent and child and attempts to regulate and modify the parent-child relationship will have a democratizing impact on that relationship." "For however much the state or community may wish to inculcate obedience and submission in the child, its intervention betrays a lack of confidence in the only objects from whom a small child can learn authoritarian submission [the parents]," ". . . any intervention between parent and child tend to produce familial democracy regardless of its intent." "The consequences of family democratization take a long time to make themselves felt—but it would be difficult to reverse the process once begun." (Warren Bennis, The Temporary Society)

"Without exception, [children] enter group therapy [the facilitated, "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, i.e., the father telling them what they can and can not do]." "What better way to help [the child] recapture the past than to allow him to re-experience and reenact ancient feelings [resentment, hostility] toward parents in his current relationship to the therapist [the facilitator of 'change]? The [facilitator of 'change,' i.e., therapist] is the living personification of all parental images [takes the place of the parent]. Group [facilitators] 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] to explore and to employ its own resources [to dialogue their "feelings," i.e., their desires (lusts) and dissatisfaction of the 'moment' (resentment toward restraint) in the "light" of the current situation, i.e., their desire for "the group" approval (affirmation)]. The group [children] 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] 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 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] 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)

All authority comes from God, i.e., "the Heavenly Father." The "earthly father" is accountable to the "Heavenly Father," along with his family, which does not negate his authority in the home (ruling his home well, 1Timothy 3:4), with God, i.e., "the Heavenly Father" having the final say, i.e., "It is written" in the thoughts and actions of everyone in the home. The Lord, Jesus Christ spoke of his dividing a man from his father, the daughter from her mother, etc., .... making himself and His Father the final authority, engendering, individualism, under God—Matthew 10:34-39 and Luke 12:51, 53).

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

"Protestantism [where righteousness, i.e. doing the Heavenly Father's superseeds all authority, i.e., the "priesthood of all believers," i.e., putting no one between you and the Father, i.e., doing your best as unto the Lord] was the strongest force in the extension of cold rational individualism." (Max Horkheimer, Vernunft and Selbsterhaltung; Reasoning and Self Preservation, i.e., Reasoning and Lust Preservation—Max Horkheimer, a Marxist)

What those "of the world" hate (even if they call themselves "Christians," i.e., are "Christians" in name only, i.e., ChrINOS) is the structure of the father's/Father's authority, believing that by negating the one, i.e., by denying the "earthly father's authority" in the home (coming between the father and his children [as well as coming between the husband and his wife], 'liberating' his children [and his wife] from his authority—in the name of "building relationship") they negate the other, i.e., "the Heavenly Father's authority" (making the "building of relationship on common self interest, i.e., lusts," [even in the name of the Lord] the 'purpose' of the "church," 'liberating' their self and others from the Father's authority by making their self equal with God, i.e., making their opinion equal with God Word, placing their self, i.e., their opinion in God's place as the maker of law, i.e., making law subject to their carnal nature, i.e., to their lusts of the 'moment') thereby negating the need of a savior ("the Son") to 'redeem' them from judgment (damnation) for their lusting after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates (instead of doing the Father's will by faith). In God's plan you bring nothing to the table. On judgment day your opinion does not count. Romans 7:14-25

"He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son." 1 John 2:22

"and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ." 1 John 1:3

By making the child's carnal nature, i.e., the child's "feelings," i.e., the child's lusts of the 'moment,' i.e., human nature the foundation from which to determine right and wrong behavior the facilitator of 'change,' i.e., the psychotherapist is able to turn the child into "human resource," thus making it possible for him to use the child for his carnal pleasures without having a guilty conscience, i.e., with the child's approval, i.e., affirmation.

"The child, contrary to appearance, is the absolute, the rationality of the relationship; he is what is enduring and everlasting, the totality which produces itself once again as such [once he is 'liberated' from the father'/Father's authority to become as he was before the father's/Father's first command, rule, fact, or truth came into his life (separating him from his "self" and the world), "of and for self" and the world only]." (Georg Hegel, System of Ethical Life)

"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)

When you start with the father's/Father's authority, making it the thesis, i.e., the foundation for thought and action, the child's carnal nature, i.e., lust becomes the antithesis, preventing synthesis, i.e., inhibiting or blocking the child from becoming at-one-with "the world" (at least without having a guilty conscience). But when you start with the child's carnal nature, making it the thesis, i.e., the foundation for thought and action, the father's/Father's authority, i.e., doing right and not wrong according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth become the antithesis, 'justifying' the negation of the father's/Father's authority so the child can do wrong, disobey, sin, i.e., can 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. Being "positive," i.e., tolerant of lust and not "negative," i.e., demanding that everyone submit to the father's/Father's authority, i.e., replacing discussion (which retains the father's/Father's authority, i.e., doing right and not wrong according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth) with dialogue (which retains the child's carnal nature, i.e., lust)—when it comes to establishing right and wrong behavior—accomplishes the deed.

"Prevent someone who KNOWS from filling the empty space." (Wilfred Bion, A Memoir of the Future)

"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 is formal, retaining the father's/Father's authority, i.e., accountability for being/doing wrong according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth. You KNOW because you have been told, engendering a guilty conscience (a sense of accountability) for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning, i.e., for lusting after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' (dopamine emancipation) that the world stimulates.

"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:'" (Brown) This is the view of the guilty conscience from a Marxist's perspective, advocating the "super-ego" which is based upon the child's "sense experiences" "of the present and the past," i.e., 'justifying' the carnal desires of the 'moment' that the world, i.e., the current situation and/or people are stimulating, thereby 'justifying' the child's restraint toward the father's/Father's authority, i.e., missing out on pleasure, i.e., lust.

"... the superego 'unites in itself the influences of the present and of the past [unites the child's lusts in the past with his lusts in the present, that the world stimulates along with his hatred toward restraint, i.e., hatred toward the father's/Father's authority, in the past as well in the present for getting in the way of his lusts] .'" (Brown)

"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 is informal, 'liberating' the person from the father's/Father's authority, i.e., i.e., accountability for being/doing wrong according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth. You "know" because you have experience it for your self, developing common ground (identifying with) and therefore building relationship with those who have the same carnal desires.

"In the dialogic relation of recognizing oneself [one's natural inclination to lust after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment,' i.e., dopamine emancipation 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 [caught between doing the father's/Father's will, which inhibits or blocks, i.e., condemns his lusting after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates and going with "the group," which 'justifies' his lusting after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates he is more than likely to go with "the group," i.e., reject the father's/Father's authority in order to overcome the "dissonance"]." "Few individuals, as Asch has shown, can maintain their objectivity ['loyalty' to their parent's, i.e., the father's/Father's authority] in the face of apparent group unanimity [their lust for "the group's" approval, 'justifying' their lusting after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates and their fear of "the group's" rejection of them, i.e., fear of missing out on their lusting ... since lust, i.e., self interest is now tied to (dependent) upon "the group" and the facilitator of 'change' (who they follow)]." (Irvin D. Yalom, The Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy)

"Bypassing the traditional channels of top-down decision making [negating/removing the father's/Father's authority in an environment determining right and wrong behavior] 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)

By removing the father's/Father's authority in an environment defining right and wrong behavior, where only the child's carnal nature, i.e., "the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life" is tolerated, i.e., is 'justified,' the guilty conscience ("the negative valence," i.e., the "feeling" of guilt) 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 is negated, i.e., "disappears."

"The negative valence of a forbidden object which in itself attracts the child [the guilty conscience for lusting after dopamine emancipation] 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)

Discussion (when it comes to right and wrong behavior) supports the father's/Father's authority, i.e., the father/Father has the final say, i.e., "Because I said so," "Never the less," "It is written." You KNOW because you have been told (the soul KNOWS from being told, the flesh "knows" by "sense experience"). In dialogue (as in an opinion and in the consensus process) there is no father's/Father's authority, i.e., there is only the child's (your) natural inclination to lust after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world is stimulating being 'justified.' This is why those of the world move communication away from discussion to dialogue, i.e., from established commands, rules, facts, and truth to "How do/did you feel when ____?" and "What did/do you think when ____?" when dealing with behavior) in order to negate the father's/Father's authority, i.e., in order to prevent established commands, rules, facts, and truth from getting in the way of their carnal desires, i.e., their lusts of the 'moment' that the world, i.e., that the current situation and/or people are stimulating, so they can do wrong, disobey, sin, i.e., lust after the things of the world without having a guilty conscience, with "the peoples" affirmation.

"And through covetousness [discovering your lusts, i.e., your self interests] shall they with feigned words ['justifying' your lusts, thus gaining your trust] make merchandise of you [buy and sell your soul, using you for their personal gain, i.e., to satisfy their lusts]." 2 Peter 2:3

By making stimulus-response, i.e., that which is only "of the world" the foundation from which to determine right and wrong behavior, lust for pleasure and hatred toward restraint becomes the foundation for "civil society," negating the father's/Father's authority not only in the citizens thoughts but also in their actions so they can do abominable things, i.e., kill the unborn, the elderly, the innocent, the righteous without having a guilty conscience. You can not control lust. Without the father's/Father's restraint lust and the world that stimulates it—with those who are manipulate the current situation and/or people around you—controls you. That is the nature of the beast, i.e., the "human heart"—when void of the father's/Father's authority, i.e., fear of judgment.

"And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." 1 John 2:18

Whoever you turn to to define terms for you (to the Father or to the world) determines (controls) the outcome, i.e., where you will spend eternity. Whenever someone is asking you "how you feel" and "what you think" when it comes to determining right and wrong behavior they are doing what the master facilitator of 'change' did in a garden in Eden, "encouraging" you to establishes your carnal nature, i.e., your lusts and the world that stimulates them as being the foundation from which to determine right and wrong behavior.

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

"[T]he '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

"Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others." Ephesians 2:2,3

"Let no man deceive you with vain words [your self interests, i.e., your lusts]: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them." Ephesians 5:5-7

"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
