Three Paradigms.
Patriarch, Matriarch, Heresiarch.
Which One Is Yours?

by
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

There are (generally speaking) three different paradigms, i.e., three different ways of feeling, thinking, and acting, i.e., relating with "self," others, and the world, i.e., responding to authority. While in truth there are only two paradigms, i.e., doing the father's/Father's will and "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world, i.e., the current situation and/or people are stimulating, in man's mind, deceiving his "self," he has 'created' a third. While in the first two paradigms you are either right or wrong according to the father's/Father's authority, having a guilty conscience when you are wrong, either repenting or continuing to do wrong, trying to 'justify' your "self," in the third you are only wrong when you accept the father's/Father's authority, i.e., only right when you negate (question, challenge, defy, disregard, attack) it (in this life negating it in your thoughts and actions, encountering it when you die—it being there all the time). The question is: which paradigm is yours?

"For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother." Matthew 12:50

"And 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)

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

"Once the earthly family [with children having to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline their "self" in order (as in "old" world order) to do right and not wrong according to the father's established commands, rules, facts, and truth, i.e., in order to do the father's will, having a guilty conscience when they do wrong, disobey, sin] is discovered to be the secret of the holy family [with men, women, and children having to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline their "self," in order to do right and not wrong according to the Father's established commands, rules, facts, and truth, i.e., in order to do the Father's will, having a guilty conscience when they do wrong, disobey, sin], the former [the traditional family structure, with children having to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline their "self," in order to do right and not wrong according to the father's established commands, rules, facts, and truth, i.e., in order to do the father's will] must itself be annihilated [vernichtet] theoretically and practically [i.e., the father's authority, i.e., doing right and not wrong according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth must be negated in the children's thoughts and actions in order (as in "new" world order) for them to be or become their "self"]." (Karl Marx, Theses On Feuerbach #4)

"Authoritarian submission [equated to nationalism, i.e., Fascism in the mind of those of the third paradigm] 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." "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 ['liberation' of children from parental authority, man from God's authority, mankind from Nationalism aka Fascism, etc., ]." (Theodor Adorno, The Authoritarian Personality)

"'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 functions with a father's authority in the home, with the family now dialoging opinions in order to 'discover' what is right and what is wrong, according to their carnal desires of the 'moment' which are being stimulated by the world]." (Sigmund Freud quoted in Herbert Marcuse, Eros and Civilization: A philosophical inquiry into Freud)

"When a man has finally reached the point where he does not think he knows it better than others, that is when he has become indifferent to what they have done badly and he is interested only in what they have done right, then peace and affirmation have come to him." (G. F. W. Hegel in Carl Friedrich, The Philosophy of Hegel)

You are either right or wrong, or maybe in your mind, deceiving your "self," never wrong, only needing to do things "better" when you are wrong—wrong being, in your mind, anyone thinking right "and wrong"—thereby 'justifying' your judging them for being or doing wrong, i.e., for thinking right "and wrong," i.e., for judging you for being or doing "wrong." "I can judge you for thinking wrong (for accusing me of sinning) but you can not judge me for being wrong (for sinning)."

"For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin." Romans 7:14-25

In the first paradigm you are either right or wrong, having a guilty conscience when you are wrong, repenting (doing right). In the second you are either right or wrong, having a guilty conscience when you are wrong, but in this case not repenting (not doing right), continuing to do wrong, but with a guilty conscience. In the third, in your mind, you are always right (or becoming right), only needing to do things "better" when you are wrong, therefore not having a guilty conscience when you are wrong—wrong being thinking right "and wrong," i.e., having a guilty conscience for doing wrong—you can do wrong, disobey, sin with impunity.

"The life [authority] which he [the child] has given to the object [to the father/Father, when the child humbles, denies, dies to, disciplines, controls his "self" in order to do right and not wrong according to the father's/Father's established commands, rules, facts, and truth, i.e., in order to do the father's/Father's will—thus "empowering" him] sets itself against him as an alien and hostile force." (Karl Marx, MEGA I/3)

While in the first two paradigm you are either right or wrong according to the father's/Father's authority, having a guilty conscience when you are wrong, in the third you are only wrong when you, humbling, denying, dying to, controlling, disciplining your "self" in order to do the father's/Father' will, accept the father's/Father's authority, having a guilty conscience when you do wrong, disobey, sin, i.e., you are only right when you, 'justifying' your "self," negate (question, challenge, defy, disregarding, attack) the father's/Father's authority, i.e., do wrong, disobey, sin without having a guilty conscience.

"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)

In other words, the child, "not feeling at home in a sinful world," i.e., resenting having to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline his "self" in order to do the father's/Father's will, being judged and punished by the father/Father when he does wrong, disobeys, sins, i.e., when he "lusts" after the things of the world, i.e., when he acts "normal," "must set up a sinful world in its own home," i.e., must dialogue with his "self" (in private so as not to be judged and punished by the father/Father) what he wants to do, hating the father/Father and his/His authority for "getting in his way"—for preventing, i.e., inhibiting or blocking him from being or becoming his "self," i.e., "of the world" only. "Critical Criticism" is dialogue, i.e., the child dialoguing with his "self," in private (out of fear of being judged and punished), questioning, challenging, defying, disregarding, attacking the father's/Father's authority, i.e., that which prevents, i.e., inhibits or blocks him from doing what he wants, when he wants, preventing him from being or becoming his "self." Dialogue "is a spiritualistic lord, pure spontaneity, actus purus, intolerant of any influence from without," 'justifying' the child's "lust of the flesh," "lust of the eyes," and "pride of life," i.e., that which is "of the world" only.

"A Dialogue is essentially a conversation between equals [all become "equal" through dialogue, i.e., there is no father's/Father's "top-down," "do right-not wrong," "above-below" authority in dialogue]." "The purpose of dialogue is to reveal the incoherence in our thought ["revealing" that which does not make sense to our carnal mind, i.e., that gets in the way of our "self interest"]." "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 [our "ability" to suspend, as upon a cross, any command, rule, fact, or truth that gets in the way of dialogue, i.e., our "self interest"]." (Bohm and Peat, Science, Order, and Creativity)

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

"The individual may have 'secret' thoughts [carnal desires] which he will under no circumstances reveal to anyone else if he can help it [dialoguing only with his "self" about them, out of fear of being judged and punished if he made them public]. To gain access [through getting him or her to dialogue, i.e., to share his or her "feelings" of the 'moment,' i.e., "self interests" 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.]." (Theodor Adorno, The Authoritarian Personality)

"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. At best this may produce agreement or compromise, but it does not give rise to anything creative." (Bohm and Peat, Science, Order, and Creativity) In a discussion, the father/Father retains his "top-down," "do right-not wrong," "above-below" position of authority, the earthly father only changing his position on an established command, rule, fact, or truth due to new information that is right or true—that he did not know of before or had not accepted (or did not want to accept).

The first paradigm is known as a Patriarchal paradigm, where you are subject to the father's/Father's authority, i.e., having to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline your "self" in order to do right and not wrong according to the father's/Father's established commands, rules, facts, and truth. The second paradigm is known as a Matriarchal paradigm, where you are subject to your "feelings" while still being subject to the father's/Father's authority, trying to 'justify' (affirm) your "self," yet having a guilty conscience when you are wrong, i.e., when you disobey the father/Father. The third paradigm is known as a Heresiarchal paradigm, where, with the "help" of others, you are able to 'justify' (affirm) your "self," i.e., 'justify' your "feelings," i.e., 'justify' your love of pleasure and hate of restraint , establishing your "self" over and therefore against the father's/Father's authority, i.e., established commands, rules, facts, and truth. 'Justifying' (affirming) your "self," with the "help" (affirmation) of others you are therefore able to (in your mind) do wrong, disobey, sin with impunity, i.e., without having a guilty conscience.

"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

While, in the second paradigm, the child (in isolation—unable to make contact with those who can "help" him, i.e., affirm him, i.e., affirm his carnal nature) is unable to 'liberate' his "self" from the father's/Father's authority, in the third paradigm, with the "help," i.e., affirmation of others—through dialogue, affirming his love of pleasure and hate of restraint as being normal, i.e., the "norm"—he is able to mentally 'justify' (affirm) his "self" over and therefore against the father's/Father's authority. No longer having a guilty conscience for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning, he is 'liberated' to do wrong, disobey, sin with impunity. He is therefore 'justified,' i.e., affirmed (in his "self" with the "help," i.e., affirmation of others) in questioning, challenging, defying, disregarding, attacking the father's/Fathers authority for "getting in his way," i.e., for making him "feel" guilty for being "normal."

"The philosopher Hegel said that truth is not found in the thesis nor the antithesis but in an emerging synthesis which reconciles the two." (Martin Luther King Jr., Strength to Love)

Thesis applies to the father's/Father's authority, i.e., to the Patriarchal paradigm, where preaching, teaching, and discussion, i.e., doing right and not wrong according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth prevails. Antithesis applies to the child, i.e., to the Matriarchal paradigm, wanting the father's/Father's approval yet wanting to do what he wants, caught between the two, i.e., discussion (obeying commands and rules and accepting facts and truth as given, by faith) and dialogue, i.e., "lusting" after his carnal desires of the 'moment' which the world (situation) is stimulating, having a guilty conscience when he does wrong, disobeys, sins (classifying the child, by those of the Heresiarchal paradigm, as being "neurotic"). Synthesis, i.e., the Heresiarchal paradigm, which, through the use of dialogue 'justifies' the child's carnal nature over and therefore against the father's/Father's authority, makes discussion (commands, rules, facts, and truth) subject to dialogue ("feelings"), i.e., subject to the child's carnal desires of the 'moment,' which the world is stimulating, making the child subject to a world of 'change,' negating discussion, i.e., the father's/Father's authority, i.e., having to obey established commands, rules, facts, and truth in order to be right and not wrong—which prevents the child from satisfying ("actualizing") his child's carnal desires of the 'moment'—negating the guilty conscience for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning (which the father's/Father's authority engenders) in the process. Synthesis, i.e., "reconciliation" between the father and the child can only be initiated and sustained in/through the process of dialogue, i.e., through dialectic 'reasoning' with both the father and the child 'reasoning' from their "feelings" of the 'moment,' i.e., from their carnal nature which the world (situation) is stimulating, making them one and the same, i.e., "of and for self" and the world only, negating the father's/Father's authority in the process.

"The child [the child's carnal nature], contrary to appearance, is the absolute, the rationality of the relationship; he [it] is what is enduring and everlasting, the totality which produces itself once again as such [once he (it) is 'liberated' from the father'/Father's authority to become as he (it) 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—"lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' which the world is stimulating, hating restraint, i.e., hating the father's/Father's authority for "getting in the way"]." (Georg Hegel, System of Ethical Life)

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

"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) Behavior "science" makes all subject to their carnal nature and the world which stimulates it, making all else that is unexplainable (to the carnal mind) a "phenomena."

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

The objective of making all communication subject to dialogue, i.e., subject to the child's' carnal nature, i.e., subject to "human nature," i.e., subject to "sense experience" (which is being stimulated by the world, i.e., the immediate situation), as is done in psychology, i.e., behavioral "science" is to "prevent someone who KNOWS from filling the empty space"—preventing, i.e., inhibiting or blocking dialogue. (Wilfred Bion, A Memoir of the Future) The father/Father retains his authority over the child in a discussion. The child is 'liberated' from the father's/Father's authority in dialogue.

By starting with the carnal nature of the child, i.e., making the child's "feelings," i.e., "sense experience" of the 'moment' the focus of attention, i.e., 'justifying' the child's "lusting" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' which the world is stimulating, the father's/Father's authority, i.e., the child having to humble, deny, die to, discipline, control his "self" in order to do right and not wrong according to the father's/Father's established commands, rules, facts, and truth, having a guilty conscience for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning becomes the enemy, i.e., wrong, 'justifying' the child's doing wrong, disobeying, sinning without having a guilty conscience—which the father's/Father's authority engenders. Get rid of wrong, i.e., the father's/Father's authority, and the guilty conscience for doing wrong is negated. "Lust" is "lust" because of the father's/Father's authority. Get rid of the father's/Father's authority, i.e., "right and wrong" and you get rid of "lust," "lust" only being "human nature," i.e., the "norm." In this way of 'reasoning,' i.e., 'reasoning' from/through his "feelings" (his carnal desires, i.e., "lusts") of the 'moment which are being stimulated by the world, the child is always right ("good," i.e., God) in his eyes, or becoming right ("good," i.e., God), i.e., never wrong, only needing to do things "better" (when he is wrong) the next time. His hate of restraint stems from his 'reasoning' that if he is wrong, he should be punished, but since he is never wrong, only becoming right, i.e., "better" he should never be punished, only remediated at the most, with those punishing him, i.e., holding him accountable for being or doing wrong, needing to be punished instead. This turns doing the father's/Father's will, which is good into evil, i.e., wrong and the child doing his will over and therefore against the father's/Father's will "good," i.e., right.

"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!" Isaiah 5:20, 21

Instead of God, i.e., the Father 'redeeming' man via his son's obedience (in all things commanded), 'reconciling' him to himself via his resurrection, in this 'reasoning,' i.e., by starting with the child's carnal nature, i.e., using dialectic (dialogue) 'reasoning,' i.e., 'reasoning' from/through his "feelings" of the 'moment, which are being stimulated by the world, man is 'redeemed' by his ability to 'justify' his "self," 'reconciling' his "self" to the world. It is in man's nature (his carnal nature) to 'justify' his "self," i.e., his love of pleasure and hate of restraint, but in doing so, i.e., refusing to humble his "self," repent, and be converted, he will die in his sins, being held accountable, i.e., judged by God according to his thoughts and actions.

"But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." Matthew 12:36, 37

The Patriarchal paradigm (tradition) is based upon preaching, teaching, and discussing established commands, rules, facts, and truth in order to do or be right and not wrong. The Matriarchal paradigm (transition) is caught between discussion, i.e., doing right and not wrong according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth and dialogue, i.e., doing what you "want" to do, i.e., enjoying the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' which the world is stimulating. In doing what you want to do, when you know it is wrong (according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth) you end up with a guilty conscience. In other words, trying to 'justify' your "self," i.e., your "feelings," i.e., your carnal desires of the 'moment,' you still end up discussing with your "self" what will happen to you if or when you are caught, fearing judgment. The Heresiarchal paradigm (transformation) is based upon the use of dialogue. Using dialogue to come to the truth makes truth ever subject to 'change,' i.e., ever subject to the persons carnal desires of the 'moment' which are being stimulated by the situation, i.e., by the world.

"[W]e 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." (Benjamin S. Bloom, Taxonomy of Educational Objectives Book 1: Cognitive Domain)

"In the eyes of the dialectic philosophy [in dialogue], nothing is established for all times, nothing is absolute or sacred." (Karl Marx)

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

The key to the Heresiarchal paradigm's success is making discussion, i.e., commands, rules, facts, and truth subject to dialogue, i.e., subject to "feelings," i.e., subject to "sensuous needs" (carnal desires, i.e., "self interests" of the 'moment') and "sense perception" of the situation, i.e., making 'truth' subject to "sense experience" only, i.e., subject to the world only, i.e., subject to 'change.' In this way, through dialogue, there are no established command, rule, fact, or truth that can stand in the way of anyone becoming ("actualizing") their "self," i.e., becoming of and for the world only—'liberated' from the father's/Father's authority and the guilty conscience which it engenders for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning. (Karl Marx, MEGA I/3)

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

This (the 'changing' of the child' paradigm from the Patriarchal to the Heresiarchal) is taking place in the classroom today where 1) the preaching of commands and rules to be obeyed as given, the teaching of facts and truth to be accepted as is, by faith, and the discussing of any questions those under authority might have regarding the commands, rules, facts, and truth being preached and taught, in order to better understand them (at the discretion of the one in authority: providing he has time, those under his authority are able to understand, and are not questioning, challenging, defying, disregarding, attacking his authority, i.e., authority), 2) the blessing and/or rewarding those who obey and do things right, to encourage them to continue doing things right, 3) the correcting and/or chastening those who do things wrong, disobey, sin, that they might learn to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline their "self" and do things right, 4) and the casting out of any who question, challenge, defy, disregard, attack authority is being replaced with the dialoguing of opinions to a consensus, where the child's "feelings," i.e., the child's carnal desires, i.e., his love of pleasure and hate of restraint supersede the father's/Father's authority in determining right from wrong, turning him against the father's/Father's authority so he can do wrong, disobey, sin with impunity, i.e., without having a guilty conscience.

"The dialectical method was overthrown—the parts were prevented from finding their definition within the whole [the children, prevented from dialoguing with one another, were unable to 'discover' what they all have in common, i.e., their carnal nature because they were forced to accept the preaching of the father's/Father's commands and rules to be obeyed as given and the teaching of the father's/Father's facts and truth to be accepted as is, by faith instead]." (György Lukács, History & Class Consciousness: What is Orthodox Marxism?)

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

Making the child's "feelings," i.e., the child's carnal desires of the moment along with his resentment toward restraint, i.e., the affective domain a part of the classroom curriculum makes the child's classroom experience therapy—'changing' the child's paradigm.

"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)

"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)

The "educator" 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), all he has to do is "encourage" them to dialogue their opinions to a consensus in the classroom and they will do that automatically when they get home from school. Having turned to "educators," who 'justify' their carnal nature, instead of to their parents, who restraint it, in order to know right from wrong, the students automatically turn against their parents authority. Wrong therefore becomes anyone who preaches and teaches right and wrong, making right anyone who dialogues their "feelings" with them, in order to come to a consensus (to a "feeling" of "oneness"), i.e., in order to "build relationship" with them (based upon their common "self interests"), 'justifying' their "self," i.e., affirming their carnal nature, i.e., their love of pleasure and hate of restraint. In this way, through the use of dialogue, to come to the 'truth,' their paradigm is 'changed.' Their classroom experience 'changes' their paradigm. All they needed was someone to "help" them 'justify' their carnal nature over and therefore against the father's/Father's authority (as the serpent "helped" the woman in the garden in Eden)—something the child was trying to do in in his dialoguing with their "self" (in private), but, out of fear of judgment, was not able to fully accomplish in the home—since the father/Father refused to dialogue with him, i.e., refused to respond to his "Why?" through dialogue—making the child's "feelings" equal with his/His authority (negating his/His authority)—cutting off dialogue instead (with his/His "Because I said so,"/"It is written."), maintaining his/His authority over the child in the process.

"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.'" (Sigmund Freud in Herbert Marcuse, Eros and Civilization: A philosophical inquiry into Freud)

"To experience Freud is to partake a second time of the forbidden fruit;" (Norman O. Brown, Life Against Death: The Psychoanalytical Meaning of History)

It is in dialogue that psychology resides. Negate dialogue and you negate psychology. There is no father's/Father's authority in dialogue. There is no father's/Father's authority in psychology. It is in dialogue, the first, and master psychologist was able to "help" 'liberate' the women from God's, i.e., from "the Father's" authority in the garden, so she could become her "self," enjoying the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' which the world stimulated, 'justifying' her "self" by making 'reasoning' subject to her "sensuous needs" and "sense perception" ("lust of the flesh" and "lust of the eyes") of the 'moment,' instead of subject to God's, i.e., "the Father's" established commands, rules, facts, and truth.

"The heart is deceitful above all things [thinking pleasure is the standard for "good" instead of doing the father's/Father's will, i.e., having to set aside your carnal desires of the 'moment,' 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, taking pleasure in doing the father's/Father's will instead of yours], and desperately wicked [hating the father's/Father's authority that "gets in the way," i.e. that prevents, i.e., inhibits or blocks you from enjoying the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates]: who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9 The child can not see his hate of the father/Father, i.e., his hate of the father's/Father's authority as being evil or wicked because his love of pleasure, i.e., love of self is in the way, blinding him to the truth.

"The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes. For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good. He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil." Psalms 36:1-4

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

In the end there are only two paradigm, right and wrong, with those thinking (deceived into believing) there is a third—where there is no wrong, except believing there is right and wrong, 'justifying' their "self" before men—being wrong.

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

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 student's "feelings" of the 'moment,' i.e., their love pleasures and their hate of restraint, in the "light" of their desire for group approval 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 child's thoughts and actions, i.e., "theory and practice," negating their having a guilty conscience for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning in the process—called "the negation of negation," since the father's/Father's authority, and the guilty conscience which it engenders, is negative to the child's carnal nature), inductive 'reasoning' ('reasoning' from/through the students "feelings," i.e., their "lusting" 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 information, i.e., established command, rule, fact, or truth that gets in the way of their desired outcome—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-ist resource") in order to convert them into 'liberals,' socialists, globalists, so they, 'justifying' their "self" can do wrong, disobey, sin 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 desires) 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
