Dad.
(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 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. And, ye fathers, provoke not our children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." Ephesians 6:1-4

The father's/Father's authority system is based upon the father 1) preaching commands and rules to his children to be obeyed as given, teaching facts and truth to them be accepted as is, by faith, and discussing with them any questions they might have regarding any command, rule, fact, or truth he is teaching and enforcing (at his discretion: providing he deems it necessary, has time, the children are capable of understanding, and are not questioning, challenging, defying, disregarding, attacking his authority), 2) rewarding the children who obey, 3) chastening the children who disobey that they might learn to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline their "self" and do right and not wrong according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth, and 4) rejecting (leaving out of his will) the child who questions, challenges, defies, disregards, attacks his authority.

Your dad is not perfect, he may be (or may have been) a downright tyrant, using the office of authority he occupies for his "self," i.e., to serve his own carnal desires, i.e., his "self interests," i.e., his "lusts" of the 'moment' that the world stimulates, but the office itself is perfect, having been given to him by God, who is perfect, in which to serve Him, i.e., in which to do His will. The more "self" he holds to the more dictatorial (uncaring about what happens to or what he does to others—who get in his way) he becomes. The same is true for the child. According to the world, it is your and his carnal nature, i.e., your and his 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 where the potential for unity resides. It is his authority to force you to do what he says or wants, that goes contrary to your carnal desires ("lusts") of the 'moment' that conflict, tension, and division between you and your dad, i.e., the father's/Father's authority resides. By focusing upon what the father and the child have in common, making "lust" the standard for determining right and wrong behavior, that which creates conflict and tension between the father and the children, i.e., the father's/Father's authority can be negated. This idea (ideology) or 'logic' (way of 'reasoning') is: there is no conflict between robbers, say in your home rifling through your stuff, who are united on their common cause, i.e., their common "self interest," i.e., "making" money ("bettering" their lives) until the cop or you show up, dividing them amongst themselves—on whether to run, surrender, or shoot at him or you. The "better" idea, for the sake of unity, i.e., in order to remove conflict, tension, and division is to talk him or you into joining them (at least into tolerating them, i.e., their actions, i.e., looking the other way, i.e., not judging or condemning them, i.e., not holding them accountable to established commands, rules, facts, and truth, i.e., to "Mine, Not yours" (selfish you) for the sake of their "feelings," i.e., their "needs," i.e., for the sake of "building relationships," i.e., unity—this is what "imagining policing" aka "community policing" is all about). Thought I would throw a "side-bare" in to give you perspective on where this way of thinking, i.e., 'reasoning,' i.e., the negation of the father's/Father's authority, i.e., the negation of dad's authority is taking us.

"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 now for) "self" and the world only]." (Georg Hegel, System of Ethical Life)

Those of and for the world side with the child's carnal nature, i.e., "lust" not the father's/Father's authority, labeling the father's/Father's authority and anyone adhering to it "authoritarian."

"Authoritarian submission [humbling, denying, dying to, controlling, disciplining one's "self" in order to do the father's/Father's, i.e., dad'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, 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 AdornoThe Authoritarian Personality)

"... the central problem is to change reality.… reality with its 'obedience to laws.'" (György Lukács, History & Class Consciousness: What is Orthodox Marxism?)

The world's solution to the dad "problem" is to get rid of the office itself, making the child's carnal nature, i.e., "lust" the standard from which to live by. This is the doctrine of Marxism. All forms of socialism, including Fascism have to negate the father's authority in the home, as well as the Father's authority in the "Church" in order to rule over, i.e., control "the people."

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

In other words "lust," i.e., "human nature," according to Karl Marx, et al., is what "reconciles us to the actual," i.e., to "the world." If "lust" is the 'drive' of life then its augmentation must be the 'purpose,' 'justifying' the negation of the father's/Father's authority, i.e., dad's authority that gets in the way.

"Once the earthly family is discovered to be the secret of the Holy family, the former must then itself be destroyed [vernichtet, i.e., annihilated, negated] in theory and in practice." (Karl Marx, Feuerbach Thesis #4)

"The earthly family" and "the Holy family" have this one thing in common, they require you to humbler, deny, die to, control, discipline your "self" in order (as in "old" word 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. It is your carnal nature, i.e., the child's carnal nature in you to "lust" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world, the current situation and/or people are stimulating, doing wrong, disobeying the father/Father, sinning. By making your "feelings," i.e., the child's carnal nature in you, i.e., the Karl Marx in your heart, 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 the means to knowing right from wrong, the father's/Father's authority is negated in your thoughts and actions so you can do wrong, disobey, sin, i.e., can "lust" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world, the current situation and/or people are stimulating without having a guilty conscience (which the father's/Father's authority engenders when you do wrong, disobey, sin, i.e., when you "lust" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world, the current situation and/or people are stimulating).

"The life which he has given to the object sets itself against him as an alien and hostile force." (Karl Marx, MEGA I/3)

For Karl Marx, et al. ("turning the world upside down") it is the child who 'creates' the father's/Father's authority, i.e., it is the child who 'creates' "an alien and hostile force' when he humbles, denies, dies to, controls, disciplines his "self" in order to do the father's/Father's will. Without negating the father's/Father's authority, i.e., capitalism (capitulation), i.e., the traditional, "middle-class" family, i.e., the bourgeoisie (with their 'loyalty' to authority), the children, being only "of the world," can not become their "self," i.e., become "self-actualized," "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. Capital, i.e., money, which is stored up pleasure, according to Karl Marx, et al. is not to be under the control of the father/Father, forcing the child to obey him in order to have access to it, restraining the child's carnal nature but to be under the control of those "helping" the children 'liberate' their "self" from the father's/Father's authority, so they can use it to "lust" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world, i.e., the current situation and/or people are stimulating without an "alien and hostile force" (of their own making) making them "feel bad," i.e., guilty.

"Self-actualizing people have to a large extent transcended the values of their culture [Nationalism]. They are not so much merely Americans as they are world citizens, members of the human species first and foremost [Globalists]." (Abraham Maslow, The Farther Reaches of Human Nature)

"... the attack on antieroticism, the Christian & Jewish foundations" ... "is absolutely right." (Abraham Maslow, The Journals Of Abraham Maslow)

In other words established commands, rules, facts, and truth, i.e., the father's/Father's authority no longer directs their thoughts and actions but the "lusts" of those around them.

"The philosophers have only interpreted the world in different ways, the objective however, is change." (Karl Marx, Feuerbach Thesis #11) Inscribed on Karl Marx's tomb.

All children are "philosophers," 1) dissatisfied with how the world "Is," where they, having to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline their "self" in order to do right and not wrong according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth are subject to their parent's authority, not being able to do what they want when they want, i.e., missing out on pleasure, 2) thinking (dialoguing with their "self") aka imagining how the world "Ought" to be, where they can do what they want, when the want, and 3) how it "Can" be once they become fathers, "doing what they want then they want." But something goes with them into adulthood after having been under the influence of the father's/Father's authority, the guilty conscience for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning, i.e., for "lusting" after after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world, i.e., the current situation and/or people are stimulating

"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 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 "problem," according to Karl Marx, et, al, is that once children grow up and have children of their own they tell (force) their children to do right and not wrong according to their established commands, rules, facts, and truth, telling them what they can and can not do, getting in their way, engendering the guilty conscience in them which prevents, i.e., at least inhibits or blocks them from "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' which the world stimulates, i.e., preventing them from being (becoming) their "self," i.e., preventing 'change.' Without "help" from outside the family, i.e., without the facilitator of 'change' creating a world of dialogue for the child, the child (out of fear of being judged, chastened, condemned, and/or cast out, privately dialoguing with his "self" his love of pleasure and hate of restraint) will remain forever "repressed" by the father's/Father's authority system—since he is not strong enough to overcome the father/Father authority system in his "self," on his own (according to Marx not willing to die for "the cause" since he does not see his "self" in other children "feeling" the same way).

"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

Dad's "Because I said so," whether he is right or wrong on his position, cuts off dialogue, i.e., your "Why?" i.e., the child's carnal nature in you wanting to do "its own thing," bringing pressure on you to do right and not wrong according to his established commands, rules, facts, or truth. If you continue to dialogue with your "self," 'justifying' your carnal desires, i.e., your "lusts" of the 'moment,' you establish your "self," i.e., your "lusts" over and therefore against the father's/Father's authority. If you discusses with your "self" the father's/Father's position, you retain respect for the father's/Father's authority within your "self," recognizing the father's/Father's authority over your "self," even though the father might be wrong. "Freedom of the conscience," i.e., "private convictions" comes from the father's/Father's authority, where you endure the father's chastening (where you do not die from not having your way as you originally thought, i.e., "felt"), even if the father (the earthly father) is wrong, with you learning to persuade him through discussion of his error if possible (doing or being right and not wrong according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth being your concern, not only for your "self" but for him and others as well), accepting his authority to make the final decision.

"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)

"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)

Discussion, which is formal, i.e., commands, rules, facts, and truth based supports the father's/Father's authority. Dialogue, which is informal, i.e., "feelings" of the 'moment' based supports the child's carnal nature. Bringing dialogue into a situation determining right and wrong behavior makes the child's carnal nature the means to determining right and wrong behavior, negating the father's/Father's authority in the process. It is the love of pleasure and hate of restraint (that resides in dialogue) those of the world seek after.

"Not feeling at home in the sinful world , Critical Criticism must set up a sinful world in its own home." "Critical Criticism is a spiritualistic lord, pure spontaneity, actus purus, intolerant of any influence from without." (Karl Marx, The Holy Family)

"Critical Criticism" ("Critical Race Theory"), aka critical thinking or critical theory (higher order thinking skills in morals and ethics) is where dialogue, i.e., "lust" and hate of restraint, i.e., "a sinful world ... intolerant of any influence from without" is put into action (praxis). It is where the child of disobedience, i.e., full of his "self" resides in this thoughts and actions.

"I am nothing and I should be everything." (Karl Marx, Critique of Hegel's 'Philosophy of Right')

Karl Marx, in defense of the child's carnal nature, i.e., "lust," i.e., his "self" expressed the child's attitude, i.e., defiance toward the father's/Father's authority when he can not do what he wants or have his way.

"The family is one of these social forms which ... cannot be changed without change in the total social framework." (Max Horkheimer, Kritische Theori)

It is the father's/Father's authority, holding each child personally accountable for his own actions that engenders "individualism," i.e., individualism, under God. In Marxism it "takes a village to raise the child." Dad, i.e., the father's/Father's authority is under attack, not only from within the home but also from without.

"It is not individualism that fulfills the individual, on the contrary it destroys him. Society is the necessary framework through which freedom and individuality are made realities." (Karl Marx, in John Lewis, The Life and Teachings of Karl Marx)

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

"Part of the dialectics of the process of winning independence from parental authority lies in using the extrafamilial peer group as a foil to parental authority, particularly in the period of adolescence." (Bradford, Gibb, Benne, T-Group Theory and Laboratory Method: Innovation in Re-education)

For Karl Marx et al., the child is not "fulfilled" when he has to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline his "self" in order to do right and not wrong according to the father's/Father's established commands, rules, facts, and truth, having to stand alone against "the group," i.e., "the village" when they are doing wrong, disobeying, sinning, i.e., when they are "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world, i.e., the current situation and/or people are stimulating, "on the contrary" he is "neurotic"—caught between doing the father's/Father's will and doing his own will instead, when his will, i.e., his carnal desires ("lusts") of the 'moment' and his father's/Father's will, i.e., doing right and not wrong according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth are in conflict with one another. "Building relationship with others based upon common self interests," i.e., based upon the child's carnal nature which they have in common (the basis of common-ism), i.e., finding one's identity, i.e., "self" in the other, i.e., in "the group," i.e., in society, i.e., in "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world, i.e., the current situation and/or people are stimulating "is the necessary framework through which freedom" from the father's/Father's authority "and individuality" to be "of and for self" and the world only "are made realities."

"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., desires and dissatisfactions of the 'moment' 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)

"In the dialogic relation of recognizing oneself in the other, they experience the common ground of their existence." (Jürgen Habermas, Knowledge & Human Interest, Chapter Three: The Idea of the Theory of Knowledge as Social Theory)

"Justifying" your "self," i.e., your "lusts" in "the group," 'justifies' your questioning, challenging, defying, disregarding, attacking the father's/Father's authority for getting in "lusts" way, doing it for the sake of "the group," i.e., for "the groups" approval, i.e., affirmation, i.e., for your "self." The heart and "soul" of Communism is the rejection of the father's authority in the home and in society so the children and "adults" can play, i.e., can "lust" after the carnal pleasures of the world, with each other's approval, negating all who get in their way, including the unborn, the elderly, the innocent, the righteous without having a guilty conscience—where we find ourselves today.

"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9

Your heart establishes the child's carnal nature in you, i.e., your "lust" for the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' (dopamine emancipation) that the world, i.e., the current situation and/or people are stimulating as the standard for "good" instead of doing the father's/Father's will, i.e., having to set aside your carnal desires ("lusts") of the 'moment' that the world, i.e., the current situation and/or people are stimulating, i.e., having to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline your "self" in order (as in "old" world order) to do the father's/Father's will, i.e., in order to do right and not wrong according the father's/Father's established commands, rules, facts, and truth. Your heart is "desperately wicked" in that it hates restraint, i.e., hates the father's/Father's authority for "getting in the way," i.e. for preventing, i.e., inhibiting or blocking you from enjoying the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' (dopamine emancipation) that the world, i.e., the current situation and/or people are stimulating. You can not see your hate of restraint, i.e., your hatred toward the father's/Father's authority, i.e., the Karl Marx in you as being evil, i.e., "wicked" ("desperately wicked") because your love of pleasure, i.e., your "lust," i.e., your "self interest" (getting in the way) blinds you to it. Like a drug your "lust" for pleasure (dopamine emancipation), i.e., your "self interest," i.e., "the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life," i.e., that which the world, i.e., the current situation and/or people are stimulating blinds you to your hatred toward restraint, i.e., blinds you to your hatred toward the father's/Father's authority, i.e., blinds you to your "wickedness"—which is being expressed toward the father/Father (and those who have faith in and obey him/Him), who is (are) preventing or trying to prevent you from having access to the drug, i.e., to pleasure (dopamine emancipation) when you are doing wrong, disobeying, sinning, i.e., when you are "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world, i.e., the current situation and/or people are stimulating—as being "wicked," making you not just "wicked" but "desperately wicked" in your effort to attain pleasure, keep pleasure, or get pleasure back, which includes the praises (affirmation, i.e., 'justification') of men, with you removing or attempting to remove anyone who is getting in the way. No matter how much you try to 'justify' your "self" before men, seeking after and getting men's approval (affirmation), i.e., pleasing men you can not be or become "good." Only God is good. The only way you can become "good" in your eyes (and in the eyes of others) is to 'justify' your "self" (and their "self"), i.e., your "lust" (and their "lust") for the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world, i.e., the current situation and/or people are stimulating, becoming God your "self" (making them God as well), determining right from wrong, good from evil according to your (and their) carnal nature, i.e., from your (and their) own "self," i.e., from your (and their) "sensuous needs" ("the lust of the flesh") and "sense perception" ("the lust of the eyes"), i.e., from your (and their) "sense experiences" of this life ("the pride of life"), with pleasure being "right" and restraint, i.e., the father's/Father's authority, which engenders the guilty conscience for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning, i.e., for "lusting" after the getting in the way of pleasure being "wrong." (Karl Marx, MEGA I/3)

"There are many stories of the conflict and tension that these new practices are producing between parents and children." (David Krathwohl, Benjamin S. Bloom, Taxonomy of Educational Objectives Book 2: Affective Domain)

Communism, Marxism, Socialism, Globalism, etc., i.e., "the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life" is the basis of education today. All "educators" are certified and schools accredited today based upon their use of what are called "Bloom's Taxonomies" as their curriculum (method of teaching) in the class. Any teacher questioning or challenging their use, or refusing to use them in the classroom today put their promotion, occupation (in the present and in the future) in jeopardy, receiving the wrath of their "peers" and their "superiors."

"Bloom's Taxonomies" are "a psychological classification system" used "to develop attitudes and values ... which are not shaped by the parents." "Ordering" "different kinds of affective behavior," i.e., "the range of emotion(s)" "organized into value systems and philosophies of life." "It was the view of the group that educational objectives stated in the behavior form have their counterparts in the behavior of individuals, observable and describable therefore classifiable [true science is "observable and repeatable," i.e., objective, i.e., constant not "observable and describable," i.e., subject to an opinion, i.e., subject to 'change']." "Only those educational programs which can be specified in terms of intended student behaviors can be classified." "What we are classifying is the intended behavior of students—the ways in which individuals are to act, think, or feel as the result of participating in some unit of instruction." "The student must feel free to say he disliked _____ and not have to worry about being punished for his reaction." (Benjamin Bloom, Taxonomy of Educational Objectives Book 1, Cognitive Domain)

"In the eyes of the dialectic philosophy, nothing is established for all times, nothing is absolute or sacred." (Karl Marx) "We recognize the point of view that truth and knowledge are only relative and that there are no hard and fast truths which exist for all time and places." (Book 1: Cognitive Domain)

"To create effectively a new set of attitudes and values, the individual must undergo great reorganization of his personal beliefs and attitudes and he must be involved in an environment which in many ways is separated from the previous environment in which he was developed." "...many of these changes are produced by association with peers who have less authoritarian points of view, as well as through the impact of a great many courses of study in which the authoritarian pattern is in some ways brought into question while more rational and nonauthoritarian behaviors are emphasized." (Book 2: Affective Domain)

Benjamin Bloom's "weltanschauung," i.e., world view (paradigm) was that of two "Transformational" Marxists (Theodor Adorno and Erich Fromm) who merged Marxism and psychology—making it easy to bring Marxism, i.e., hate of the father's/Father's authority into the classroom. One million of "Bloom's Taxonomies" were printed for the Communist Chinese education system back in 1971. (Benjamin Bloom, Forty Year Evaluation) Any teacher questioning/challenging/removing their use in American schools today (public, private, "Christian" schools; pre-school, grade school, high school, college/University, vocational, etc., school) would put their job, i.e., their employment in jeopardy. Benjamin Bloom admitted, forty years after the publication of his first "Taxonomy," Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, Book 1, Cognitive Domain, "Certainly the Taxonomy was unproved at the time it was developed and may well be 'unprovable.'" (Benjamin Bloom, Forty Year Evaluation) In the second "Taxonomy," Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, Book 2, Affective Domain Benjamin Bloom wrote: "Whether or not the classification scheme presented in Handbook I: Cognitive Domain is a true taxonomy is still far from clear." After all it was about putting "theory," i.e., the children's opinions ("feelings") into "practice," negating any command, rule, fact, or truth, i.e., the father's/Father's authority that got in the way.

"The affective domain is, in retrospect, a virtual 'Pandora's Box' [a "box" full of evils, which once opened, can not be closed].' It is in this 'box' that the most influential controls are to be found." "In fact, a large part of what we call "good teaching" is the teacher's ability to attain affective objectives through challenging the student's fixed beliefs and getting them to discuss issues." (Book 2: Affective Domain)

Those using "Bloom's Taxonomies" in the classroom have only one agenda (despite what they might say), the negation of the father's/Father's authority in the students thoughts and actions, so they can do wrong, disobey, sin, i.e., can "lust" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world, the current situation and/or people are stimulating without having a guilty conscience, with "the groups" affirmation. There is no respect for dad, i.e., the office he occupies in the home today, mostly due to the use of "Bloom's Taxonomies," i.e., Marxism, i.e., psychology in the classroom, with "educators," i.e., facilitators of 'change,' i.e., group psychotherapists leading the way. By removing dad's, i.e., the father's/Father's authority, i.e., accountability for being or doing wrong from the classroom "lust" prevails, negating the father's/Father's authority, i.e., capitalism (capitulation) in the student's thoughts and actions.

"Prior to therapy the person is prone to ask himself, 'What would my parents want me to do?' During the process of therapy the individual come to ask himself, 'What does it mean to me?'" (Carl Rogers, on becoming a person: A Therapist View of Psychotherapy)

The "educator" (facilitator of 'change') does not have to tell the students to question, challenge, defy, disregard, attack their parent's authority when they get home from school, if they were not doing that already (telling them would be "old school," maintaining the "old" world order of being told even if it was done for the 'purpose' of 'change,' i.e., for the 'purpose' of creating a "new" world order), all they have to do is use a curriculum in the classroom that "encourages," i.e., pressures the students to participate in the process of 'change,' i.e., into dialoguing their opinions to a consensus, 'justifying' their carnal nature over and therefore against their parents authority. Being told to be "positive" (supportive of the other students carnal nature) and not "negative" (judging them by their parents standards) pressures students to 'justify' their and the other students love of pleasure and hate of restraint, doing so in order to be approved, i.e., affirmed by "the group," resulting in "the group" labeling those students who, holding onto their parents standards, i.e., refusing to participate in the process of 'change' or fighting against it as being "negative," divisive, hateful, intolerant, maladjusted, unadaptable to 'change,' resisters of 'change,' not "team players," lower order thinkers, in denial, phobic, prejudiced, judgmental, racist, fascist, dictators, anti-social, etc., i.e., "hurting" peoples "feelings" resulting in "the group" rejecting them—the student

"Ye shall not surely die." Genesis 3:4, 5

It is what happened in the first classroom where the master facilitator of 'change' came between two "children" and their "Father" in a garden called Eden, 'liberating' them from the "Father's" authority. There is a world of difference between the use of discussion and dialogue in determining right and wrong behavior in the garden in Eden.

"To experience Freud is to partake a second time of the forbidden fruit;" "The foundation on which the man of the future will be built is already there, in the repressed unconscious [i.e., in the child's carnal nature, i.e., in the child's impulses and urges which are being "repressed" by the father's/Father's authority]; the foundation has to be recovered [i.e., the child's carnal nature must be 'liberated' from the father's/Father's authority if the child is to become his "self" again]." "The repression of normal adult sexuality is required only by cultures which are based on patriarchal domination [the father's/Father's authority]." "Freud, Hegel, ... are, like Marx, compelled to postulate external domination and its assertion by force in order to explain repression." (Brown)

"If the guilt accumulated in the civilized domination of man by man can ever be redeemed by freedom, then the 'original sin' must be committed again: 'We must again eat from the tree of knowledge in order to fall back into the state of innocence.'" "'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 over the family]." "... 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)

"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)

"Sense experience ["the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life"] must be the basis of all science." "Science is only genuine science when it proceeds from sense experience ["the pride of life"], in the two forms of sense perception ["the lust of the eyes"] and sensuous need ["the lust of the flesh"], that is, only when it proceeds from Nature ["from the world"]." (Karl Marx, MEGA I/3)

"I have found whenever I ran across authoritarian students [those students who adhere 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)

How you respond to the father's/Father's authority, i.e., your dad reflects your character, i.e., whether you accept the fact that you will be held accountable for your thoughts and actions or reject it, ether doing the father's/Father's will or rejecting the office of his authority, thinking and acting according to your "lusts" of the 'moment,' doing your own thing, without having a guilty conscience.

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

While dad is not perfect his office is. Reject it (the office) and you reject God's authority, i.e., God—where your dad's authority comes from, i.e., who your dad and you are accountable to. The gospel message is all about the Father's authority. Reject the Father's authority and all you have is a different Christ, one of your own making, 'justifying' your carnal nature, i.e., your "lusts," one without a Father's authority, an anti-Christ.

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

"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

"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Acts 4:12

"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

"And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels." Luke 9:23-26

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

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

By bringing dialogue, i.e., 'justifying' the child's carnal nature into the home and into the "church," making dialogue, i.e., your carnal desires the means to establishing right and wrong behavior, the father's/Father's authority, i.e., dad's authority is negated, making "the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life" the 'drive' of life and its augmentation (uniting upon what you have in common with one another aka Communism) its 'purpose.'

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." 2 Timothy 4:3, 4

Facilitators of 'change,' i.e., psychologists, i.e., behavioral "scientists," i.e., "group psychotherapists," i.e., Marxists (Transformational Marxists)—all being the same in method or formula—are using the dialoguing of opinions to a consensus (affirmation) process, i.e., dialectic 'reasoning' ('reasoning' from/through the students "feelings" of the 'moment,' i.e., from/through their "lust" for pleasure and their hate of restraint, in the "light" of their desire for group approval, i.e., affirmation and fear of group rejection) in the "group grade," "safe zone/space/place," "Don't be negative, be positive," soviet style, brainwashing (washing the father's/Father's authority from the children's thoughts and actions, i.e., "theory and practice," negating their having a guilty conscience, which the father's/father's authority engenders, for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning in the process—called "the negation of negation" since the father's/Father's authority and the guilty conscience, being negative to the child's carnal nature, is negated in dialogue—in dialogue, opinion, and the consensus process there is no father's/Father's authority), inductive 'reasoning' ('reasoning' from/through the students "feelings," i.e., their natural inclination to "lust" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment'—dopamine emancipation—which the world stimulates, i.e., their "self interest," i.e., their "sense experience," selecting "appropriate information"—excluding, ignoring, or resisting, i.e., rejecting any "inappropriate" information, i.e., established command, rule, fact, or truth that gets in the way of their desired outcome, i.e., pleasure—in determining right from wrong behavior), "Bloom's Taxonomy," "affective domain," French Revolution (Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité) classroom "environment" in order (as in "new" world order) to 'liberate' children from parental authority, i.e., from the father's/Father's authority system (the Patriarchal Paradigm)—seducing, deceiving, and manipulating them as chickens, rats, and dogs, i.e., treating them as natural resource ("human resource") in order to convert them into 'liberals,' socialists, globalists, so they, 'justifying' their "self" before one another, can do wrong, disobey, sin, i.e., "lust" with impunity.

"Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken." Jeremiah 6:16, 17

Home schooling material, co-ops, conferences, etc., are joining in the same praxis, fulfilling Immanuel Kant's as well as Georg Hegel's, Karl Marx's, and Sigmund Freud's agenda of using the pattern or method of Genesis 3:1-6, i.e., "self" 'justification,' i.e., dialectic (dialogue) 'reasoning," i.e., 'reasoning' from/through your "feelings," i.e., your carnal desires of the 'moment' which are being stimulated by the world (including your desire for approval from others, with them affirming your carnal nature) in order to negate Hebrews 12:5-11, i.e., the father's/Father's authority, i.e., having to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline your "self" in order to do the father's/Father's will, negating Romans 7:14-25, i.e., your having a guilty conscience when you do wrong, disobey, sin, thereby negating your having to repent before the father/Father for your doing wrong, disobedience, sins—which is the real agenda.

"And for this cause [because men, as "children of disobedience," 'justify' their "self," i.e., 'justify' their love of "self" and the world, i.e., their love of the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' (dopamine emancipation) which the world stimulates over and therefore against the Father's authority] God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie [that pleasure is the standard for "good" instead of doing the Father's will]: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth [in the Father and in His Son, Jesus Christ], but had pleasure in unrighteousness [in their "self" and the pleasures of the 'moment,' which the world stimulates]." 2 Thessalonians 2:11, 12
