We are in the very midst of the crisis of modern man. We do not have too much time left. If we do not begin now, it will probably be too late. The burdens laid on the shoulders of the American people are enormous and the sacrifices of money and blood which they have had to make are incredibly heavy. Yet, anybody who is not quite blind can see that it is all in vain. Hypocrisy endeavours outwardly to make the people believe that the taxpayers are responsible for supporting every country that cannot help itself and that they must pay to support the poor who immigrate illegally, while the American Dream is becoming extremely unaffordable for many hardworking Americans. The United States of America has become a land of opportunity for everyone who is not born in America. The current circumstances of high inflation, unaffordable housing, and the high cost of education is forcing many people to return to that World of poverty and economic insecurity that their ancestors overcame. Higher education is being torn from the eyes of the youth. It is an illusion to think that this problem can be “studied” from above downwards. The man who has never been in the clutches of that crushing viper can never know what its poison is. An attempt to study it in any other way will result only in superficial talk and sentimental delusions. Both are harmful. The first because it can never get to the root of the question, the second because it evades the question entirely. #RandolphHarris 1 of 19

I do not know which is the more nefarious: to ignore social distress, as do the majority of those who have been favoured by fortune and those who have risen in the social scale through their own routine labour, or the equally supercilious and often tactless but always genteel condescension displayed by people who make a fad of being charitable and who plume themselves on “sympathizing with the people.” Of course, such persons sin more than they can imagine from lack of instinctive understanding. And thus, they are astonished to find that the “social conscience” on which they pride themselves never produces any results, but often causes their good intentions to be resented; and then they talk of the ingratitude of the people. Such persons are slow to learn that here there is no place for merely social activities and that there can be no expectation of gratitude; for in this connection there is no question at all disturbing favours but essentially a matter of retributive justice. In 1898, when the problem of expansion had arisen, the anti-imperialists had not been included to answer the racial appeal or to dislocate it from its Darwinian framework. They preferred to ignore the broad theme of racial destiny, concentrating instead upon an appeal to American traditions. #RandolphHarris 2 of 19

The accident of party alignment doubtless had something to do with unwillingness of politically minded anti-expansionists to assault the doctrine and covenants of Anglo-Saxon racial superiority; for the Democratic Party, strongest in the Solid South, was the bulwark of opposition, and to deny the Anglo-Saxon myth would severe only to stir up a race question without answering the fundamental arguments of expansionist leaders. What some Democrats did do, however, was to invert the racial aspect of expansion and use it as an argument against annexation of overseas territories. The idea was advanced in Congress, particularly by some of the Southern members, that to assume the government of the Filipinos would be to introduce into our political structure an alien, uncongenial, unassimilable people, probably incapable of reaching Anglo-Saxon heights in the matter of democratic self-government. Senator John W. Daniel of Virginia declared in 1899: “There is one thing that neither time nor education can change. You may change the leopard’s sports, but you will never change the different qualities of the races which God has created in order that they may fulfill separate and distinct missions in the cultivation and civilization of the World.”  There is hope because there is a real possibility that man can reassert himself, and that he can make the technological society human. It is not up to us to complete the task, but we have no right to abstain from it. #RandolphHarris 3 of 19

Men of scientific training had not yet taken the advanced position on racial equipotentiality that anthropology now encourages, and the notion had not been widely popularized. Exceptions there were, of course. In 1894 Franz Boas, in his fresh and skeptical address as vice-president of Anthropological Section of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, had made a cogent criticism of prevailing attitudes toward the marginalized races. The unwarranted assumption was commonly made, he pointed out, that because the majority groups’ state of civilization is “higher,” their racial attitudes are sophisticated. The standards of the majority group are naively posited as a norm, and every deviation from the norm is automatically considered characteristic of a lower type. Boas attributed the cultural superiority of Europeans to the circumstances of their historical development rather than to inherent capacities. William Z. Ripley’s substantial study of The Races of Europe (1897) also introduced educated readers to some of the complexities of the idea of race, and discredited the Aryan Myth. Among others than specialists of curious laymen, however, there was little understanding of these matters, and for the practical purposes of partisan discussion the complacent assertions of the Anglo-Saxon myth were unanswerable except by appeals to other prejudices. #RandolphHarris 4 of 19

Common among men of learning was the conception, taken over from Haeckel’s Biogenetic Law, that, since the development of the individual is a recapitulation of the development of the race, primitives must be considered as being in the arrested stages of childhood or adolescence—“half devil and half child,” as Rudyard Kipling had said. This view was accepted by the eminent psychologist and educator G. Stanely Hall in his study of Adolescence. Although Hall felt that the childlike character of backward peoples entitled them to tender and sympathetic treatment by their phylogenetic “elders,” who should be ashamed to make war on children, the condescending approach to primitive culture underlying the recapitulation theory was not calculated to disturb the spokesmen of racial superiority. It took a measure of courage, in this climate of opinion, to issue a challenge to the doctrine and covenants of racial inequality. There were few who would go so far as Ernest Howard Crosby, an American disciple of Tolstoi, who wrote of “an Anglo-Saxon union for the vulgarization of the World,” and implied in his famous parody of Kipling that the benefits of western civilization were not the ideal thing for the slow peoples of outlying islands. #RandolphHarris 5 of 19

However, support came from William James, who thought we had “destroyed in Luzon the one sacred thing in the World, the spontaneous budding of a national life.” While few anti-imperialists were ready to challenge the basic assumption of white or Anglo-Saxon superiority, there were some who doubted the benefits of spreading civilization by conquest or annexation. These skeptics might well have agreed with the marginalized trooper in one of the regiments dispatched to suppress Aguinaldo’s rebels in the Philippines, who remarked in a moment of war-weariness, “Dis shyar white man’s burden ain’t all it’s cracked up to be.” The most usable argument for the anti-imperialists was to appeal to the traditions of Americanism, a procedure that introduced no new and unfamiliar ideas. Expansion, it was argued, would mean the adoption of races alien in language, customs, and institutions. It would mean the beginning of a colonial bureaucracy. It would mean aping the way of Britian. It would involve the support of a large standing army, with a consequent tax burden. To launch upon the government and exploitation of a helpless people would shame the finest traditions of American democracy, which had always insisted upon the legitimacy of government only with the consent of the governed. #RandolphHarris 6 of 19

A nation so rich and great within its own continental borders had no pressing need for further expansion; it would risk much to gain little. Launching upon an imperial career would bring America full square into the game of World politics, with all its militaristic hatreds and extravagances. Behind this would lurk the constant menace of war for the defenses of overseas possessions. One of the most spirited of the anti-imperialists was William James, who at one time served as vice-president of the Anti-Imperialist League. From time-to-time James wrote indignant letters to the Boston Evening Transcript denouncing expansionist ideology. Of the white-man’s-burden, manifest-destiny thesis, he complained: “Could there be a more damning indictment of what whole bloated idolatered “modern civilization” than this amounts to? Civilization is, then, the big, hollow, resounding, corrupting, sophisticating, confusing torrent of mere brutal momentum and irrationality that brings forth fruits like this! In a counterblast to Roosevelt’s speech on the “Strenuous Life,” he asserted that Roosevelt was “still mentally in the Sturm ung Drang period of early adolescence,” making speeches about human affairs “from the sole point of view of the organic excitement and difficulty they may bring,” and gushing over war as the ideal condition of human society. #RandolphHarris 7 of 19

Of worthwhile ends Roosevelt had “not a word…one foe is as good as another, for aught he tells us…He swamps everything together in one flood of abstract bellicose emotion.” William Graham Sumner also attacked the imperial impulse with practically all the weapons in the arsenal of the anti-expansionists. Those who were familiar with Sumner’s crips iconoclasm about democracy may have rubbed their eyes to see the intransigent schoolmaster attack imperialists for preparing the abandonment of the nation’s democratic principles; but his argument had an unquestionable ring of sincerity, particularly since it once again put in jeopardy his position at Yale. “My patriotism,” he cried, “is of the kind which is outraged by the notion that the United States never was a great nation until in a petty three months’ campaign it knocked to pieces a poor, decrepit, bankrupt old state like Spain.” Probably the best known of all the peace advocates and anti-expansionists was David Starr Jordan, president of Stanford University. More than any other man, Jordan established in the American mind the idea that war is a biological evil rather than a biological blessing, because it carries off the physically and mentally fit and leaves being the less fit. #RandolphHarris 8 of 19

Jordan, who had lost an elder brother in the Civil War, in 1898 became interested in disarmament and the movement for international arbitration. An eminent biologist and a leader of the eugenics movement, he turned his attention to the biological aspects of war. In a series of volumes published between the Spanish-America War and the First World War, Jordan expounded his thesis, using motely evidence from anthropometrics, casualty statistics, reminiscences of Civil War veterans, and the conclusion of other biologists. Darwin himself, Jordan pointed out, had agreed that war is dysgenic. Jordan became the favourite butt of patriots, militarists, and preparedness advocates, who pointed to continued racial improvement in past eras of constant warfare as evidence against his thesis. Although Jordan was unsuccessful in imposing his quasi-pacifistic outlook upon the nation, he did leave a profound conviction of the degenerative effect of war upon the breed; and his doctrine, strengthened by the general reaction against militarism in the years after the First World War, became sanctified by repetition in the most conventional of sources. The editor of the Saturday Evening Post, for example, wrote in 1921: “Disarm or die. That is the alternative that confronts all men who dare look. Men who are not afraid to face facts know that just as Nature kills off the weak and unfit, so war wipes out the strong and courageous and robs the race of its most vital blood.” #RandolphHarris 9 of 19

To return from the role of psychology in an industrial society to the specific problem of psychoanalysis and its deterioration, one more factor must be mentioned: that of the bureaucratization of the psychoanalytic movement itself. It is true that Dr. Freud was somewhat authoritarian in his attitude toward the purity of his own system. Yet it must be considered that he had developed a most original system against which a tremendous resistance arose from all sides. It might have been easy to protect it from his overt enemies, but it was much more difficult to protect it from those adherents who, while consciously agreeing with Dr. Freud, succumbed to the temptation of making it more palatable to society, and hence to falsify it. Dr. Freud, concerned with preserving the purity and the radicalism of his teaching, appointed a secret council of seven, to watch over the development of psychoanalysis. However, this council soon developed the typical features which characterize a ruling bureaucracy. There were violent jealousies among its members. Those between Jones on the one hand, and Ferenczi and Rank on the other, are well known. Those rivalries found a drastic expression in the fact that Jones, after both were dead, wrote in his biography of Dr. Freud that both rivals had suffered from insanity before their deaths, a statement which is contrary to the facts. #RandolphHarris 10 of 19

The more the movement grew, the more did the leading bureaucracy, by now consisting of many new members, try to control it. This was no longer a defense against those who, because of a lack of courage, tried to tune down Dr. Freud’s teachings. On the contrary, as has been said before, official psychoanalysis had lost its radical character, and very often the aim of the bureaucracy was to remove and keep out the more radical analysts. Control of the ideology meant control of the movement and its members, and was so used. Old members who did not entirely agree with the doctrine and covenants were excluded or forced to resign, others were criticized by the London authorities even for having shown a “bored face” while listening to a speech by an orthodox representative of the bureaucracy. Psychoanalysts (in fact, though not in form) were forbidden—as recently as 1961—to give lectures at scientific meetings of groups of analysts who were not members of the official organization. It is not surprising that the bureaucratization of the psychoanalytic movement resulted in a corresponding diminution of scientific creativity. Many new ideas in psychoanalysis were expressed by analysts who sooner or later severed their ties with the bureaucracy and continued their work outside of its jurisdiction. #RandolphHarris 11 of 19

Man has entered a new era of evolutionary history, one in which rapid change is a dominant consequence. He is contending with a fundamental change, since he has intervened in the evolutionary process. He must now better appreciate this face and then develop the wisdom to direct the process toward his fulfillment rather than toward his destruction. As he learned to apply his understanding of the physical World for practical purposes, he is extending his innate capacity and augmenting his ability and his need to communicate as well as his ability to think and to create. And as a result, he is substituting a goal-directed evolutionary process in his struggle against environmental hardship for the slow, but effective, biological evolution which produced modern man through mutation and natural selection. By intelligent intervention in the evolutionary process man has greatly accelerated and greatly expanded the range of possibilities. However, he has not changed the basic fact that it remains a trial and error process, with the danger of taking paths that lead to sterility of mind and heart, and moral apathy and intellectual inertia; and even producing social dinosaurs unfit to live in an evolving World. We are all bound together by a common humanity more fundamental than any unity of doctrine; those who recognize that the centrifugal force which as scatted and atomized mankind must be replaced by an integrating structure and process capable of bestowing meaning and purpose on existence. #RandolphHarris 12 of 19

The first and most archaic version of the script, the primal protocol, is conceived in the mind of the child at an age when few people outside his immediate family are real to him. If only because they are three times as tall and ten times as big as he is, we assume that his parents appear to him as huge figures endowed with magic powers, like the giants and giantesses, ogres and gorgons of mythology. As he grows older and becomes more sophisticated, he moved from this classical universe into a more romantic World. He devises the first palimpsest, or rewrite, of his script, to make it correspond with his new view of his surroundings. If conditions are right, he is helped by fairy tales and animal stories at first read to him by his mother, and later read by himself in his leisure hours when he is free to let his imagination roam. There is magic in these, too, but less Earth-shaking. They give him a whole new set of characters to play their roles in his fancies: all the personalities in the animal kingdom, which are familiar to him either as warm-blooded playmates and companions, or as fleeting figures of fear or fascination seen or heard in the distance, or as semi-imaginary creatures of unknown capabilities that he has only heard or read about. Or perhaps this comes to him from the Smart Television screen, where at that age even the commercials have a halo. Even in the worst case, without book or screen, or even mother, somewhere he knows there is a cow, or can imaging his own distorted beats. #RandolphHarris 13 of 19

In the first stage, he is dealing with magical people who can perhaps on occasion turn themselves into animals. In this second stage, he is merely attributing to animals certain human characteristics, a tendency which persists in adult life to some degree in people associated with stables, kennels, and dolphin tanks. In the third stage, in adolescence, he reviews his script once more to adapt it to the current reality as he hopes it will be, still romanticized and still golden, or sometimes gilded with the assistance of barbiturates. Gradually, as the years go by, he moves closer to reality, which is the actual likelihood that the people and things around him will give the desired responses. In this way, through the decades, he prepares himself for his farewell performance. It is this farewell performance which, above all, it is the therapist’s business to change. To further highlight this illustration, Mario the Martian comes to Earth and has to go back and “tell it like it is”—not like the Earth people say it is, or want him to think it is. He does not listen to big words nor tables of statistics, but watches what people are doing to, for, and with each other, rather than what they say they are doing. For the principle of life consists in the tension which connects spirit with the realm of matter, symbiotically joined. The laws of life have their origin beyond their mere physical manifestations and compel us to consider their spiritual source. Our discoveries may deepen not erode the sense of universal community. #RandolphHarris 14 of 19

Modern society rests on the moral fiber of man, and on the wisdom and responsibility of those who promote the course of its development. However, moral decisions cannot dispense with an insight into the interplay of the objective elements which offer and limit the choices made. Therefore, an understanding of what the issues are, though not a sufficient condition, is a prerequisite for directing action toward constructive solutions. No one can do anything about resistances that are unnoticeable, because first and uppermost requirement is to recognize that a resistance operates. Most resistances can be overlooked, particularly since as a rule one is not too keen to see them. However, there are certain forms that are bound to escape attention, no matter how alert one is, or how intent on getting on. The foremost among these are blind spots and the minimizing of feeling. The severity of the obstacle these presents depend upon how widespread and tenacious they, are and on the forced that are behind them. As a rule, they are merely an expression of the fact that one is not yet able to face certain factors. Clare, for instance, could not possibly have seen at the beginning the depth of her resentment against her boyfriend Peter, or the extent to which she suffered under the relationship. Even an analyst could hardly have helped her to see this, or rather grasp it. Too much work had to be done before she could tackle these factors. If the work is carried on, this consideration implies, encouragingly, that blind spots will often clear up in time. #RandolphHarris 15 of 19

Remembering past perceptions of the World is another way to experience it. When we experience the World collectively, as with conceptualizing, we close the “gates of perception.” The capacity for vivid and relevant recall of the past is essential for effective action. Anything that hinders our ability to recall jeopardizes our access to healthy personality. We tend to recall schematically in the rush of a busy existence, searching the storehouse of our memory for way to solve problems of living and to discern the meanings of things; but memory also serves as a function of enriching the experience of life itself. When the immediate World of perception is grim and joyless, and there is nothing to be done to ameliorate it, vivid recollection of a happier past may enable a person to endure the present until circumstances change. Such eidetic recalling can, of course, also serve an escape function. Reminiscences of the past can prevent a person from addressing problems of the present with passion and energy. The friendly puppy people whom I have known have lived to my age and beyond without having to go to a psychotherapist, without cracking up, without being an exceptional nuisance to their friends and neighbours, and they have made a lot of sense (in my view). Nonetheless, a gushy sentimentality which refrains from saying what needs to be said or doing what needs to be done because it will hurt people’s feelings, is mere weakness and cowardice, not true compassion. It will not help them by giving them the truth when this is called for. #RandolphHarris 16 of 19

He must give out that love of which Jesus Christ spoke. However, it is not to be an unbalanced sentimentality; rather it is a serene self-identification with others without being thrown off one’s own center. That is why reason is a helpful check here. Above all, he must love the Real, the Overself. The ideal relation to our neighbour, and indeed the ultimate one, is a loving one, as Jesus Christ said. If it is to be perfect, it means a self-identification with Him. However, who can create this attitude of his own free will, by his own mere wish? It cannot be done. Only growth and time, or grace, can bring it about. We can harm others and ourselves by practicing a sloppy sentimentality in the name of love, a misguided humanitarianism in the name of service. To practice love towards our fellow men is to hold goodwill toward them, to accept them as they are and even to identify ourselves intellectually, if temporarily, with them in the attempt to understand their viewpoint. “Love thy neighbour,” preached Jesus. Perhaps! but that does not mean I must also love his ill-mannered vulgarity, his insensitive crude commonness, his unfair class, race, and national hates, his malice towards all and charity toward none. A silent compassion which does things preferable to a voluble sentimentality which does not. He whose goodwill and pity extend to all men will understand all men. #RandolphHarris 17 of 19

The political World is astir. Economies are faltering. Public trust is waning. Individuals feel vulnerable. And social cohesion wears thin. Meanwhile, stories of rage, corruption, and agitation fill our airwaves. When a spirit of goodwill prompts our thinking and when united effort goes to work on a common problem, the results can be most gratifying. Living together in communities with respect and concern one for another, is the hallmark of civilization. That hallmark is under increasing threat. Christ knows perfectly the suffering of homelessness and the plight of refugees. He knows because He has borne all things, and He knows because He walked His own path through mortality. There are times in our lives when we hope and pray for miracles. It could be for a loved one or for our own benefit. Our hope is to have our supplication answered, the broken situation fixed, the bitter soul softened, and the Lord of miracles giving the resolution we desire. When the result is not what we expect or in the timetable we prayed for, we usually wonder why. “And I would exhort you, my beloved brethren, that ye remember that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and that all these gifts of which I have spoken, which are spiritual, never will be done away, even as long as the World shall stand, only according to the unbelief of the children of men,” reports Moroni 10.19. Miracles are divine acts, manifestations and expression of God’s limitless power, and an affirmation that he is that same yesterday, today, and forever. When God blessing you with another day, that is a miracle. #RandolphHarris 18 of 19

While demonstrating professionalism and excellence in every aspect of their fire and rescue service delivery system, the Sacramento Fire Department responds to the needs of the community. They provide highly trained staff, state-of-the-art equipment, and emergency services. “Most of the guys I came out of the fire academy with, we’re pretty close. There’s about seven of us. We pretty much hang out together. We go to the gym and play racquet ball or basketball, and we invite each other over to our houses for dinner. The morning I was hurt, I was supposed to meet the guys at the gym when I got off work. They were looking for me. When they found out I was in the hospital, they came up there immediately to see how I was. But my life doesn’t really center around the fire department. When I leave the job, I don’t want to think fire department or talk fire department, unless I’m studying and reading my books. I’m studying for lieutenant. But most of the time, when I leave work I like to go to the movies or to somebody’s house and socialize.” Take what you can find that is congenial to your mind, appealing to your heart, and conformable with reason and evidence. The Sacramento Fire Department provides emergency response, customer service, and public education in partnership with the community. Their core values include integrity, pride, compassion, and professionalism. You can help save lives and property by donating to the Sacramento Fire Department. And remember parents, teach your children to love America, to be patriotic, to love God and Jesus, to respect law and order, and to treat others with empathy and kindness, to buy American made cars and other products. I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic, for which it stands, One Nation, Under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all. At dawn I seek Thee, refuge, rock subline; set my prayer before Thee in the morning, and my prayer at even time. #RandolphHarris 19 of 19
