Ya Better Keep a Civilian Tongue in Your Head

It is a dangerous and powerful mythology to believe that most humans are rational and act on volition of their own free will. There is so much conflict in the World today because many human behaviors, and much of human action is not the consequence of moral decision, but are the symptoms of medical diseases—in other words, human beings are not free moral agents, but most are foolish medical patients. The journalistic practice of mixing news with comment and the falsification of genuine ideas by clichés threatens public life with spiritual and eventual physical corruption. Repression must be replaced with truth gained through psychoanalytic insight. We recognize the word of God as the most explicit and courageous moralizer, and the divine knowledge and wisdom cannot escape our grip once we lay hands on it, but it is also important to study the mind so that we can understand what is going on psychologically, as well as spiritually with people. Genuine questioning will help to open the interlocutor’s eyes and mind, and it is a preliminary step leading individuals to answer questions, filling one’s own mind as well as our interlocutor’s minds with our interpretations, and silencing the inquiry. #RandolphHarris 1 of 5

Conversation denotes a process through which a new or formerly peripheral universe of discourse comes to function as a person’s authority. The key to understanding conversation resides within the psyche or background of the individual. No one of sound mind and spirit can find appealing the nonsensical World views of many movements. Hence the necessity of milieu control and over stimulating or inhibiting the nervous system by subjecting conversation prospects to extreme physical stress or sensory deprivation. The intensities of the individual ideas become capable of discharge in their entirety, and pass from one idea to another, so that the individual ideas are formed which are crowded with great force. Through the repeated occurrence of this process, the intensity of an entire train of thought may ultimately be concentrated in a single conceptual unit. This is the fact of compression or condensation. It is condensation that is mainly responsible for the strange impression produced by certain situations, for we know of nothing analogous to it in the normal psychic life that is accessible to the consciousness. Some extraordinary event or experience will enable an individual to see the light. There will be a moment of awakening, which functions much like an electrical switch that has just been turned on, suddenly rendering aglow and objectifying what had been invisible, hazy, or anathema only moments earlier. #RandolphHarris 2 of 5

Conversation, conversion is a function of a gradual social learning process rather than a consequence of some dramatic and extraordinary event that affects fertile psychological dispositions. In order to experience conversation and give testimony to it, a person must first learn something about the new interpretive schema. For example, what kind of experience and events are symbolic of conversation? Sometimes the deeper challenge is to reject or turn away from what is being presented, saying no to what others are insisting is right for us to pursue, so that we might more fully align ourselves with more worthy, more relevant challenges. One of our biggest challenges is to break the grip our illusions have on us. For us to overcome illusions, we have to be in a position where we can actually see them for what they are. Sometimes our eyes may truly open only when we are right at big moments, extraordinarily alive moments. Slivers of time when we are profoundly present, often featuring vivid proximity to immense danger, or immense opportunity. A healthy challenge is not meek nor halfhearted nor apologetic about the situation. This is a stand that need to be delivered in a form that serves the best interest of the recipient. #RandolphHarris 3 of 5

Predispositions must be ordered, put into the service of the movement, linked with its values, harnessed to its goals, intermeshed with its own internal requirements as an organized collectivity. Pre-existing motives become relevant mainly as the points of departure of a process of learning and relearning, which the movement must direct. Personal motives are not necessarily extinguished in this process, but they come to be linked with new patterns of conduct which are relevant to, and supportive of, the collective enterprise which the movement represents. Many of us are on amazing journeys of discovery—leading to personal fulfillment and spiritual enlightenment. However, some are on a trek that leads to sorrow, sin, anguish, and despair. We keep our covenants and consecrate our lives to building up the kingdom of God. God will forgive sin and have a close, unbroken relationship with his people. Everyone is offered salvation by grace through faith. “And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Acts 2.21). Our focus should be on our entire life span. The costs and rewards of involvement in a covenant with God can account for the rewards that are expected for good behavior. #RandolphHarris 4 of 5

People frequently behave altruistically. Social action in one direction rather than another is frequently prompted by interpersonal loyalties and obligations. And people often act on the basis of principle or moral considerations. Some people want to help. They want to get along. Leaders are created by social circumstances. Leadership is transactional cutting across expectations, personal characteristics, and social settings.  The term charisma is applied to certain quality of individual personality by virtue of which one is set apart from ordinary people and treated as endowed with supernatural, superhuman, or at least specifically exceptional powers or qualities. These are such as are not accessible to the ordinary person, but are regarded as of divine origin or as exemplary, and on the basis of them the individual concerned is treated as a leader. Dear Lord in Heaven, thank you that you do not send irritations to make our lives miserable. Thank you for giving us grace to be here. God thank you for the grace to be here. Thank you that you are changing our lives little by little from glory to glory. We believe that our present sufferings are nothing compared to the glory that is coming. Our situation may not be fair, but there is a secret…God is still on the throne. He will make the wrongs right. We are going to get over it and keep moving forward. Bless it be. #RandolphHarris 5 of 5
