Like hurricane Katrina, President Biden and Vice President Kamala are hovering above the political horizon and above the lives of each America. They are the most frightful instruments of terror that threaten national security and the independence of the national economic structure, the foundations of the Constitution of the United States of America and the liberty of Americans. Above all, it has been the Democratic party that has turned American into a ridiculous mockery of an empire, insulted the idea of liberty, and stigmatized that of fraternity with the slogan “If you will not become out comrade, we shall crack your skull.” The more I become acquainted with the communistic Democrats, the more my appreciation for God and Jesus Christ becomes wider and deeper. In discussing economic questions, the statements of the Biden administration have been false, and its proofs unsound. In treating of political aims, its attitude is insincere. Furthermore, the Biden administration’s modern methods of chicanery in the presentation of its arguments are profoundly repugnant. Its flamboyant sentences, its obscure and incomprehensible phrases, pretending to contain great thoughts, but the Democratic party is devoid of thought, and meaningless. #RandolphHarris 1 of 20

 One would have to be a decadent Bohemian in one of our modern cities to feel at home in that labyrinth of mental aberration, so that he might discover “intimate experiences” amid the stinking fumes of this literary defecation spewing from the Biden administration. There writers are obviously counting on the proverbial humility of a certain section of our people, who believe that a person who is incomprehensible must be profoundly wise. In confronting the theoretical falsity and absurdity of that doctrine Kamala is polluting the World with, the nation is gradually coming to a clear idea of the ends at which it is aimed. During this political campaign session, the American people have dark presentiments and fear something evil. They have before them a teaching inspired by egoism and hatred, mathematically calculation to win its victory, but the triumph of which would be a mortal blow to humanity. Meanwhile, the American people have discovered the relations existing between the destructive teachings of the Democratic party and the specific character of a people, who up to this time had been to most almost unknown. Knowledge of the Democrats is the only key whereby one may understand the inner nature and therefore the real aims of the Biden administration. #RandolphHarris 2 of 20

The man who has come to know this party has succeeded in removing from his eyes the veil through which he has seen the aims and meaning of the Democratic party in a false light; and then, out of the murk and fog of social phrases rises the grimacing figure of President Biden and Kamala. It is annoying to acknowledge that we live in a nation where any half-witted person can claim for him our herself the right to criticize and might even be let loose on the people a politician in the American government, the bearer of the Imperial Crown, just because of their race, gender, or sexual orientation. All qualifications are just tossed to the wind. I am even more disgusted at the way in which the American press has salaamed obsequiously before the most incompetent steeds of the Democratic party and has gone off into wild ecstasies of delight, as the country faulters. And at the same time, the American TV news media have taken up an attitude of superiority in matters that concerned the American Empire, trying to cloak the disaster that the invasion at the southern border and Democratic party is having on national security, culture, and the economy. Naturally, they protect enforcing the law. They pretend that by touching illegal immigration in a delicate and friendly way that they are fulling a duty, at the same time discharging their obligations of journalistic truthfulness. #RandolphHarris 3 of 20

Furthermore, having thus excused themselves of the Oath of Office, and tenderly touching a sore spot while Americans are having an affordability crisis, President Joe Bide, Vice President Kamala, and the rest of the Democratic party have bored with the finger ruthlessly into the wound by processing citizenship requests of 3.3 million immigrants at lightning speed, while there is a shortage of 7 million affordable housing units, and 653,104 Americans are without homes. This sort of thing is making people’s blood boil, as Vice President Kamla plans to extend universal health care and Social Security benefits to the 21 million illegal immigrants who have poured into this country during her four years in office. The government has never moved so fast to help any other group of people, and these people did not come here legally and have not even paid taxes. What gets on the nerves of many is the repugnant way some Americans and the TV news media greet President Biden and Vice President Kamala with mellifluous hymns of praise as if they are national heroes, while many of these same people are struggling to keep a roof over their heads. This wretched Democratic party should be impeached. Many had hoped, at least secretly, that preparations would be made to make this most brazen invasion of American a turning point in American history. #RandolphHarris 4 of 20

There are several people who have placed their trust in the Government and law enforcement. The Oath of Office states, “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”  However, as 305,000 people have lost their jobs throughout the year, and many Americans have been victims of crime due to the invasion at the southern border, the government is failing to protect and provide for the American people in their time of need. Some people have given up not because they have lost interest, but because they are mentally exhausted trying to understand why their lives mean so little to the government, and these other people mean so much. Many Americans cannot accept that such a shameful development would be allowed to continue. A fortune of billions is being spent and millions of American are being sacrificed, who were foolish enough to trust in the promises made by the rulers of the Democratic party. #RandolphHarris 5 of 20

The race-based Nationalist Movement of the Democratic party must not defend the rights of other nations, but act as the spearhead of its own people’s rights. The Constitution of the United States of America is a glorious standard raised up by our Founding Fathers. Every American citizen should be inspired by the Constitution. This is a nation with a spiritual foundation and a prophetic history. God has declared America to be His base of operations. The framers of the Constitution were men raised up by God to establish this foundation of our government, for so the Lord has declared by revelation in these words: “And for this purpose have I established the Constitution of this land, by the hands of wise men whom I raised up unto this very purpose, and redeemed the land by the shedding of blood,” reports Doctrine and Covenants 101.80. Yes, this is a land fertilized by the blood of patriots.  During the struggle for independence, nearly 9,000 of the colonist forces were killed. Among those fifty-six patriots who had pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honour by signing the Declaration of Independence, at least nine paid that price with their life’s blood. At the close of the Revolution, in which 25,534 Americans died, the thirteen states found themselves independent but then faced grave economic and political problems. #RandolphHarris 6 of 20

The Articles of Confederation has been adopted but proved to be ineffectual. Under this instrument, the nation was without a president, a head. There was a congress, but it was a body destitute of any power. There was no supreme court. The states were merely a confederation. April 6, 1789, the Constitution of the United States of America went into operation as the basic law of American when the electoral college unanimously elected George Washinton as the first President of the nation. “According to the laws and constitution of the people, which I have suffered to be established, and should be maintained for the rights and protection of all flesh, according to just and holy principles,” reports Doctrine and Covenants 101.77. When it is considered that when the instrument went into operation, it covered only thirteen states with fewer than four million people, what those framers did can be better appreciated. Today it adequately covers 342 million people. The wisdom of these delegates is shown in the genius of the document itself. The founds had a strong distrust for the centralized power in a federal government. So they created a government with checks and balances. This was to prevent any branch of the government from becoming too powerful. “And now, we can behold the decrees of God concerning this land, that it is a land of promise; and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall serve God, or they shall be swept off when the fulness of His wrath shall come upon them. And the fulness of His wrath cometh upon them when they are ripened in iniquity,” reports Ether 2.9. #RandolphHarris 7 of 20

Indeed, one of the greatest dangers to be avoided is to confuse words with facts: the fetishism of words prevents the understanding of reality. This can be observed in all areas—most of all, perhaps, in religion, politics, and philosophy. The vast majority of all American believe in God; yet from all observations, scientifically organized as well as random observations, it seems clear that this belief in God has extraordinarily little consequence for action and the conduct of life. Most people are concerned with health, money, and “education (the latter as part of social success), and not at all with the problems which would arise if they were concerned with God. We are consumption-hungry and production-proud, and show precisely all the traits of materialism of which we accuse the “godless.” If there is anything to be taken seriously in our profession of God, it is to recognize the fact that God has become an idol. Not an idol of wood or stone like the ones of our ancestors worshipped, but an idol of words, phrases, doctrines. We violate at every moment the command not to use God’s name in vain, which means using His name emptily, and not as the stammering expression of an inexpressible experience. We consider people to be “religious” because they say that they believe in God. Is there any difficulty in saying this? Is there any reality in it, except that words are uttered? #RandolphHarris 8 of 20

Obviously I am speaking here about an experience which should constitute the reality behind the words. What is this experience? It is one of recognizing oneself as part of humanity, of living accord to a set of values in which the full experience of love, justice, truth, is the dominant goal of life to which everything else is subordinated; it means a constant striving to develop one’s powers of love and reason to a point at which a new harmony with the World is attained; it means to strive for humility, to see one’s identity with all beings, and to give up the illusion of a separate, indestructible ego. And it means not to confuse what belongs to Caesar with that which belongs to God. In the realm of Caesar, one man has more power than another, more talent, more intelligence, more achievement. However, in the spiritual realm, no man is superior to another, nor inferior either. In this realm, we are all nothing other than human—saints and criminals, heroes and cowards. To arrive at the authentic experience, where the realm of “Caesar” and the realm of “God” are no longer confused, is an essential part of the reality behind the words which say, “Give to Caesar that which is Caesar’s and to God that which is God’s.” This distinction between the two realms touches upon another of the most significant aspects of religious experience, the attitude towards power. #RandolphHarris 9 of 20

The realm of Caesar is the realm of power. In our physical existence we all are subject to power. Anyone who has a pistol can kill us or imprison us; anyone who controls the means of our livelihood can starve us or force us to do his bidding. Inasmuch as we want to live, we must submit or fight—provided there is a chance—and there often is none. Precisely because power decides upon life and death, freedom and slavery, it impresses not only our bodies but our minds. The one who controls superior force is admired and sanctified. He is supposed to be all-wise and even all-good, even though he enslaves us; for we prefer to submit “voluntarily” to the “good” and “wise” ones, rather than to accept the fact that we are helpless to refuse obedience to the wicked ones. If we glorify power, we accept the values of Caesar; and if we link God with power, then indeed, we commit the utmost sacrilege of transforming God into Caesar. Yet this is precisely what man has done for thousands of years. Genuine spiritual experience knows that facts of power—but it never glorifies power as the bearer of wisdom or goodness. Its motto is the prophet’s words: “Not by might and not by power but by my spirit, speaks the Lord.” It is questionable whether family love is a breakout of the ego’s shell or merely an extension of self. More often perhaps it is a mixture of both. #RandolphHarris 10 of 20

When it becomes exaggerated, the family link becomes unhealthy. No personal relation is enduring. All end with the efflux of time. Even the most enduring of all—the disciple-master one—must end too with the disciple’s own graduation. It was Jesus’ closest relative, His own mothers, who sought to sidetrack him from his mission, compelling him to explain, “Woman! What have I to do with thee?” It was Ramana Maharshi’s own mother who sought to drag him back from his meditation-cave to a Worldly life, compelling him to tell her, in effect, not to alter a course already preordained for him. The duties towards one’s family are limited ones, whereas the duty towards one’s soul is an unlimited one. A family problem may have to be considered again and in a fresh light, judged and considered not merely by his personal feelings but from the point of view of duty, as perhaps to his children. If one wishes to follow the spiritual Quest, even if those sacrifices involve crushing the ego, it is necessary to make sacrifices at times. When children are grown up and past thirty, their lives are largely their own affair: they are then entitled to measure of freedom from possessive parents. There are many allusions in classical and modern literature to the fact that all the World’s a stage and all the people in it merely players, but allusions are different from a sustained and informed investigation into the matter. #RandolphHarris 11 of 20

Such investigations have been carried on by many psychiatrists and their pupils, but they have been unable to go very far in a systematic way because they did not have at their disposal the powerful weapons of structural analysis (diagraming and classifying transactions), game analysis (uncovering the con, the gimmick, the switch, and the payoff), and script analysis (the script matrix with the dreams, sweat shirts, trading stamps, and other elements derived from it). The general idea that human lives follow the patterns found in myths, legends, and fairy tales, is most elegantly elaborated in Joseph Campbell’s book. He bases his psychological thinking mainly on Jung and Dr. Freud. Jung’s best-known ideas in this connection are the Archetypes (corresponding to the magic figures in a script) and the Persona (which is the style the script is played in). The rest of Jung’s ideas are not easy to understand or to relate to real people without incredibly special training, and even then, they are subject to different interpretations. In general, Jung is in favour of thinking about myths and fairy tales, and that is an important part of his influence. Dr. Freud relates many aspects of human living to a single drama, the Oedipus myth. In psychoanalytic language, the patient is Oedipus, a “character” who exhibits “reactions.” Oedipus is something going on in the patient’s head. #RandolphHarris 12 of 20

In script analysis, Oedipus is an ongoing drama that is taking place right now, divided into scenes and acts, with a build-up, a climax, and an ending. It is essential for others to play their parts, and the patient see that they do. He only knows what to say to people whose scripts match or dovetail with his own. If his script calls for him to kill a king and marry a queen, he has to find a king whose script calls for him to be killed, and a queen whose script calls for her to be stupid enough to marry him. Some of Dr. Freud’s followers, such as Glover, are beginning to recognize that Oedipus is a drama rather than merely a set of “reactions,” while Rank, Campbell’s chief predecessor, showed that most important myths and fairy tales come from a single basic plot, and that this plot appears in the dreams and lives of large numbers of people all over the World. Dr. Freud speaks of the repetition compulsion and the destiny compulsion, but his followers have not pursued these ideas extremely far to apply them to the entire life course of the patients. Erikson is the most active psychoanalyst in making systematic studies of the human life-cycle from birth to death, and naturally, many of his findings are corroborated by script analysis. In general, it may be said that script analysis is Freudian, but it is not psychoanalytic. #RandolphHarris 13 of 20

If I know the goal of a person, I know in a general way what will happen. I can bring into their proper order each of the successive movements made. We must know what to do with himself were he not oriented toward some goal…which determines his life-line…the psychic life of man is made to fit into the fifth act like a character drawn by a good dramatist…every psychic phenomenon, if it is to give us any understanding of a person, can only be grasped and understood if regarded as a preparation for some goal…an attempt at a planned final compensation and a (secret) life plan…the life plan remains in the unconscious, so that the patient may believe that an implacable fate and not a long-prepared and long-meditated plan for which he alone is responsible, is at work…Such a man concludes his account and reconciles himself with life by a constructing one or a number of “if-clauses.” “If conditions had been different…” The only exceptions which a script analyst would take to these statements are (1) that the life plan is usually not unconscious; (2) that the person is by no means solely responsible for it; and (3) that the goal and the manner of reaching it (the actual transactions, word for word) can be predicted much more precisely than we could have ever imagined. #RandolphHarris 14 of 20

Most of us would like to be helpful to everyone, and often we wear ourselves out attempting it and then are unhappy about the results. It is good for me to remember Don Jackson’s reply to the question “How do you select your patients?” Some other psychotherapists who were asked the question said that they did (or must) take everyone. Don Jackson’s reply was, “Life is difficult enough without a psychiatrist requiring of himself that he accept everyone who comes to him.” This answer has helped me to be more discriminating in the way that I truly should be, because anything else is dissipation and wasted effort—exhaustion of myself, with no good to anyone else, and the likelihood of harm to both of us. There is no interaction, and without interaction there is no interchange—change taking place in them and me. Each of us continues as before, he in his way and I in mine. We may each become more rigid in our separate ways, even though I may have spent many hours “patiently” listening. When I think that I am being patient, I am not. I am “making myself be patient”—putting on the outer manner of patience, acting what I am not feeling. When I am patient, I do not notice that I am, or think of myself as patient. It just is. When I think that I am being patient, it is much better to look inside me and tell the truth: “I want to be patient, but I am not. I am feeling antsy and trying to control myself.” If the whole neurosis is safeguarded by rigid convictions that everything is right, good, or unalterable, there can hardly be an incentive to change anything. Everyone who struggles to liberate himself from neurotic bondages knows or sense that some of these factors operate within himself, and for those unfamiliar with psychoanalytic therapy the enumeration of these limitations may have a deterring effect. #RandolphHarris 15 of 20

It must be remembered, however, that none of these factors is prohibitive in an absolute sense. It can be asserted filthy and absolutely that without airplanes there is no chance nowadays of winning a war. However, it would be nonsensical to say flatly that a feeling of futility or a diffuse resentment against people would prevent anyone from analyzing himself. His chances for constructive self-analysis depend largely on the relative strength of “I can” and “I cannot” or “I will” and “I will not.” And this in turn depends upon the depth of those attitudes that jeopardize self-development. There is a great difference between a person who, though merely drifting and finding no meaning in life, is nevertheless vaguely searching for something, and a person who, like Hedda Gabler, has turned his back on life with a bitter and final resignation. Just as there is between a person who is profound cynical and discounts every ideal as mere hypocrisy, and another, apparently equally cynical, who nevertheless feels a positive respect and liking for anyone who lives up to genuine ideals. Or between a person who is diffusely irritable and contemptuous toward people but responds to their friendliness, and one who, like Hedda Gabler, is equally vicious toward friend and enemy, and even tends particularly to destroy those who touch remnants of softer feelings within himself. #RandolphHarris 16 of 20

If the barriers to self-development through analysis are genuinely unsurpassable it is never one factor alone that accounts for them, but a combination of several. If it is combined with a reinforcing tendency, an armour of self-righteousness, perhaps, or a pervasive destructiveness, deep hopelessness, for example, is an absolute obstacle; complete alienation from self cannot be prohibitive unless there is also some such reinforcing tendency as a firmly entrenched dependency. If only they can be found and used, in other words, genuine limitations exist only in severe and complicated neuroses, and even there some constructive forces may still be alive. Some seven kinds of experiences especially stand out as significant: Completion—the last stroke as you complete the painting of a fence, the final sentence in your term paper, attaching the last shelf on a bookcase you have built. Beauty—discovering a beautiful flower, being in a magnificent home, seeing a beautiful child, hearing lovely melodies. Conquest of a skill—the feeling of rolling away as you discover you can ride a bicycle, being able to completely play a piece of music on your violin, discovering you can paint a portrait. Excitement—a wide variety of feelings of high intensity, such as one’s first dance, participating in a hard-fought race, walking out into space. Earned success—being awarded your Eagle Scout badge, being elected to head your sorority after working for a year toward it, reaching the top of a mountain climb. #RandolphHarris 17 of 20

The human relationship experience—falling in love, feeling close to another person, helping someone in difficulty, being helped by someone through a confusing class assignment. The mystic or supernatural experience—feeling the presence of a spirit, being moved by spiritual conversation, sensing the impact of a deity in one’s own life. Some significant, helpful information has emerged from this research: The most frequent sources of our positive experiences are relationships with other human beings. The second most frequent source for all age groups is the earned success experience. Beauty experiences are less frequent, which suggests that this potential resource for healthy personality growth has been undeveloped. For the “strong” or macho type person, it is important to know that positive experiences come from letting one’s self be helped as well as in helping others. Some negative experiences have positive effect upon the personality. The death of a loved one may result in one child’s becoming stronger and more self-reliant. A failure in a class may motivate the student to be more systematic in his method of study. A disgrace to the family may spur growing children to more “pro-social” behaviour. When negative experiences are turned around to become positive, the probability of there having been a helping person involved, such as an uncle, aunt, or friend, is high, especially for women. #RandolphHarris 18 of 20

The goal of the Sacramento Fire Department is to reduce pain and suffering associated with life and property loss in a safe and cost-effective manner. They achieve this through a combination of services including: Fire prevention—implementing measures to prevent fires and minimize risks. Public Education—educating the community about fire safety and emergency preparedness. Emergency medical services—providing medical assistance during emergency preparedness. Emergency medical services—providing medical assistance during emergencies. Rescue operations—responding to incidents where lives are at risk. Fire control—efficiently managing and extinguishing fires. “I was the captain of Truck X at Station X, one of the busiest houses in the city, about six thousand runs a year. I was working overtime, and definitely earning my pay. The battalion had been to about twelve alarms when we were backing into quarters about two in the morning. We heard gunshots and realized that the bullets were hitting close to us, since mortar was flying off the front of the engine house. This station, which was affectionately known as the Wild Wild West, was living up to its name. My aide quickly backed the rig into quarters, while we were crouching low. Safely inside, we summoned the gendarmes. They found that the source of the gunfire was the bar across the street, where a ‘disagreement’ was taking place. #RandolphHarris 19 of 20

“Since this was long after the riots had cooled and no one was hurt, we had a good laugh. Then the police asked, ‘Who owns the green BMW? It’s a casualty.’ The window by the driver’s seat was shot out, and the bullet lodged in the back of the seat. Guess whose BMW it was. When I got home the next day, I had another ‘fire story’ for the kids.” The Sacramento Fire Department is a progressive department, whose priority is to provide excellent quality of service to the citizens of Sacramento. They protect the lives and property of all citizens of Sacramento from natural and man-made emergences utilizing mitigation efforts, control systems, and support services. The Sacramento Fire Department is committed to maintaining a highly skilled and trained department to meet the needs of their community and firefighter personnel. You can help save lives by donating to the Sacramento Fire Department. To keep this an honest and patriotic community, be sure to raise your children to love America, be proud to be American. Love God and Jesus Christ. Buy American made cars and products. Have respect for law and order. And for them to always take their education seriously. It is also important to treat others with respect, compassion, and dignity. 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. God is in His holy temple, in the pure and holy mind; in the reverent heart and simple; in the soul from sin refined. Banish then each base emotion, lift us up, O Lord, to Thee, let our souls, in pure devotion, Lord, be Temples worthy Thee. #RandolphHarris 20 of 20

The Winchester Mystery House

The strange events at The Winchester Mystery House are as unexplainable to me now as when they happened when I was a child. Although the events are as vivid and mystifying now as then, I was really too young to appreciate the beauty that the mansion held for me. As I got older, I began to understand that the souls who haunt The Winchester Mansion are not “lost souls” at all. They are at home. This is where they choose to be. Mrs. Winchester built this mansion for them, to honour their lives and legacy so that would never be left outside in the cold and forgotten. The old house holds a presence of history, and I am aware of the stories it tells. This awareness is a constant companion as I walk through the halls and the various rooms, and although I have not been here in nearly fifteen years, I feel as if I never left. I haunt these halls along with the spirits, feeling the torment and pain and fleeting moments of joy as beautiful people and their wonderful families walk along Llanada’s miles of twisting hallways and secret passageways, whispering of their fears and delights.

Sometimes, I can even hear their thoughts when they are not speaking. However, what I remember most clearly of my corporeal experience is my constant fear of being here, for I know that the house is master and holder of many secrets that I shall just as well never know. Living in the house on Palm Tree Lane is a rewarding experience. Like the sea, it is beautiful, but I have learned to beware. There certainly are psychic phenomena which cannot be explained by logic, rational reasoning, or even materialistic science. But beware, it is very true what the caretakers say. People often think they would love to live here, until they wonder off and are never found. Hopefully, you will never experience that because you will likely spend an eternity trying to escape and no one will ever find you, and you will wonder why after so many years no one is helping you, until one day you figure out why…it seems ironic that the danger I had sensed in this mansion had finally caught up with me. Now I have to hold on to my own faith and get rid of my feelings of resentment and fury.

As many have felt so often, there is a dark cloud over this place. I must have been killed that last night. I feared the mansion all my life, but could not get away. I had no place to go, no friends. There was no place else to go. Do not torture yourself. Even if someone would have found me that morning, it would have been too late. I know what you wonder. You wonder. You are wondering if the mansion is somehow to blame–if my death was the result of an attack by the unseen forces I was afraid of. I do not believe that. I think what happened to me originated right here on this physical plane in some greedy malicious mind and that it would have happened regardless of the mansion…regardless of our experiences here. On occasion, I am down at the crossroads. Somewhere along where the old creek used to be, just about a hundred yards from the house, but then I find myself standing motionless, staring at a shattered goblet on the floor in the kitchen. Do not bother asking, no one will ever talk about it. I knew what was coming. We sat there in the sun and I wondered where to start. It was a beautiful morning–breezy and sunny–and we sat in silence….maybe some day you will figure out the whole story, but until then, you keep quiet. I have gone through a lot of things in the old house. I hope you know that by now. When you find all the clues and figure it out, promise to keep quiet about it. Do not tell anyone. Not even the police have figured it out, and if they have, they just keep silent and pretend nothing happened. Sometimes I see Mrs. Winchester.
