The human charioteer drives his in a pair of horses; and one of them is noble and of noble breed, and the other is ignoble and of ignoble breed; and the driving of them of necessity gives them a great deal of trouble to him. The family is the most important organization. A loving Father in Heaven organized His church here on the Earth as a means of teaching families how to be eternally happy. We know that none of us can receive the fulfillment of true happiness except as a member of an eternal family unit. We also know, or should know, that the success we experience in our homes as families is going to have a most significant effect on the eternal happiness of each of us. Happiness in the life hereafter is geared to our learning and living celestial laws while we are here on the Earth. This being so, then our homes an atmosphere that will encourage the learning and living of the teaching of the Saviour. If corrupt politicians can bring about disunity, discontent, disharmony, and a host of other spiritual illnesses, they know that they can cause unhappiness in our homes. By this insidious process, they have grained no small measure of success in their plan to lead astray the children of our Father in Heaven. For instance, politicians know that they can cause parents to quarrel with each other, their children may well follow the example. #RandolphHarris 1 of 21

If parents show little respect for each other, immoral legislators know so will their children. They know that children mirror the actions of their parents. They also know that their greatest effort to block the work of the Lord must be in the home. Unfortunately, it is here where dishonest politicians enjoy their greatest success, first by destroying family relationships and then by destroying the family unit. They are using many devious means to accomplish their political purpose. Such as how President Biden declared Easter Sunday in 2024, “Transgender Day of Visibility.” Also, a bill passed by the state legislature this week would allow illegal immigrants to receive up to $150,000 in taxpayer-backed home loans, which will only drive-up housing prices, add to the national deficit, and provide a new incentive for people to come into the country illegally, while many Americans are struggling to afford housing and pay their bills. Many homes do not recognize immoral politicians’ encroachment into their happiness and security. One of unethical politicians’ most effective tools is at work among us today—it is a destroyer of happiness, peace, contentment, family solidarity. Families are stumbling and falling because of its hobbling and crippling effect. This tool of Democrats is called contention. The dictionary describes contention as follows: “To argue, to bring discord or strife, to dispute, to quarrel.” Democrats have been indoctrinated by their parties’ skilled propaganda machine to ridicule the Constitution of the United States of America, allowing illegal immigration, and even pay people hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars to immigrate illegally, and in doing so they are committing one of the World’s most shameful acts of rape. Yet, Congress has not paid reparations to the descendants of the Africans they enslaved. And many are wondering, how could such a racist country, which has robbed and suppressed the Black community, give so openly to illegal immigrants, as if they have suddenly lost their minds? Not too long ago, the state of California could not afford to pay workers and was cutting their pay. And now Social Security and Medicare are expected to go broke and Vice President Kamala wants to speed up the process by handing out these benefits to illegal immigrants. #RandolphHarris 2 of 21

Now, some will say, “This is our way of life—everybody is doing it.” Lest we think these acts are not serious and are just our way of life, to be accepted and lived with, let us hear the word of the Lord as expressed by an ancient prophet. We read in 3 Nephi: “…And there shall be no disputations among you, as there have hitherto been; neither shall there be disputations among you concerning the points of my doctrine, as there have hitherto been. For verily, verily I saw unto you, he that hath the spirit of contention is not of me, but is of the devil who is the father of contention, and he stirreth up the hearts of men to content with anger, one with another. Behold, this is not my doctrine, to stir up the hearts of men with anger, one against another; but this is my doctrine, that such things is my doctrine, that such things should be done away,” reports 3 Nephi 11.28-30. “And ye will not suffer your children that they go hungry, or naked; neither will ye suffer that they transgress the laws of God, and fight and quarrel one with another, and serve the devil, who is the master of sin, or who is the evil spirit which hath been spoken of by our fathers, he being an enemy to all righteousness. But ye will teach them to talk in the ways of truth and soberness; ye will teach them to love one another, and to serve one another,” reports Mosiah 4.14-15. #RandolphHarris 3 of 21

The home should be the great workshop of the Lord. Here is where children must be taught to walk in ways of truth and soberness, of love and service to each other. The most effective examples a child will ever have—for good or for bad—are his own parents. Few of us realize how very pliable and teachable children are in their primary years of life. How quick they are to pick up parental habits and traits and teachings! May I suggest that parents require more of themselves. Parents must give more of themselves, that they give more good experiences to their children, experience that are love-producing and family-solidifying. Whether the times give are measured in minutes or hours is not as important as what is done in them. It may be five minutes at a child’s bedside each night or a fifteen-minute walk in the evening. It can even be the experience of a family learning to pray together and reading the scriptures together and fasting together. We must expand our thinking on ways to develop happy children. As the Lord has said, the power is within us to do so. The ways of the Lord are simple ways. Simple experiences with children develop unbreakable ties that will endure forever. It might be something as precious as a smiling more in your home. Parents are the catalyst in creating loving human beings. Loving actions are contagious. #RandolphHarris 4 of 21

With love, children will learn to be happy and more pleasant. Homes will be cherry. When I was young, and even when I was not quite so young, there were so many experiences which I could not communicate to anyone. One day when I was nineteen, I was walking along a New York street in early morning, feeling good. Not many people were around. The sun was shinning and a bright reflection of it caught my eye. It came from a safety pin, lying on the pavement. The safety pin lying on the pavement in a huge city with millions of people and towering buildings had an absurdity about it that made me smile. This switched to seeing the safety pin as a part of the World, as much as I was myself, and I felt myself very strongly in accord with everything, in touch with all there is, known and unknown. Then the safety pin became a key, as thoughts, starting there, went through my head more rapidly than anything that I can think of now, each thought leading to another, like steps up the Twin Towers higher and higher, until they arrived at an explanation of the Universe. It was all so beautifully clear, and at the same time simple and amazing. I was delighted with this Universe in which I lived. Then I thought, “This is crazy. I cannot know anything about the Universe.” Then, what had been clear became a crazy jumble. The speed with which the thoughts followed on each other was too much for me. #RandolphHarris 5 of 21

I fixed my mind on things around me in determinedly commonplace way—street, cars, people, fronts of buildings—to do what I called “calming me down.” There was no one to whom I could speak about this and other things that happened, and sometimes this made a roaring in my head. Not a real roaring; the feeling or roaring. If I lot it and let the roar engulf me, I would be lost, so I held on to that knowing. When I had been here on Earth for nearly half a century, I worked at a ranch college where there were may freedoms still, and the surrounding country moved me deeply and released me, as it still does. Often, I came out of my room in the early morning, walked out on the verandah which was on a rise on one side of the valley, and looked across the fields of alfalfa, the high desert land beyond, and to the mountains on the other side. I would so burgeon with glory that my arms moved to each to the sky. I needed the job. I could not afford to be thought crazy. I walked down the steps, my arms at my sides, with a singing inside me but a crying too, that my singing could not get out. Behind the bodily response there were many happenings in me full of meaning. I wished to live with them awhile, to know them more deeply, but when I walked down the steps with my arms at my sides, I lost even the knowing that I had had. We do not have words to express that knowing. Perhaps there can never be such words. #RandolphHarris 6 of 21

There was one man on this ranch with whim I could converse about these deep meanings and universal understandings that I sometimes felt, by using a few words which he picked up, and with a few words of his own, he gave my meaning back to me so that I knew he understood. He told me, too, about his World. “The way I see it,” he says, and then there is a long pause, a waiting that is not waiting, a blank space which gets filled in somehow. “It’s like a tree…” His arms sweep gently in a way that says something to me about the way that he sees a tree, and the relation of this to what he is expressing about life. I could repeat all the words he said and they would say no more than “The way I see it…it’s like a tree.” My own words say no more. My free gestures, like his, convey nothing to people around us. It is the words, the gestures, the feeling I have from him directly, and the feeling and knowing which they bring from me, which says something. Even if they do not reject what I am saying, with most other people, when I try to speak my World, they insist on having all the blanks filled in by me—clear sentences with precise meanings. When I try to do this, it brings it down to nothing. The life is gone. And then they say, “That’s nothing.” I have presented them with a cadaver, not a living being. I feel that I have desecrated life, and I am sad. #RandolphHarris 7 of 21

I feel cut off. I long for my schizoid friend who does not require of me what is not possible, and who accepts with understanding what I say. We stand side by side or sit on the same rock, not touching each other, but the boundaries are lost without touching and I feel that we are one, and the more I am with him, the less inclined I am to “carry on a conversation” except in terms of utility—explaining to another person something that needs to be done, or what I need him to bring to me. For utility, this language is good. I can explain why a nut should be put back on a bolt when the bolt has been removed from whatever it was in. I can answer a question about the best way to get back to town. However, for being with people, what I love is the poetry of life, the art, and the language which conveys this, in which there is a vast expanse, something not put in, which my large mind can encompass. My small mind cannot understand that. It was not built to. My large mind cannot learn to fix dinner. That is not what it is for. When I am free, my small mind and my large mind function together. I do not know how they do it. However, it is something like breathing, which I say that I am doing without usually noticing that it has two parts. I do not think, “I am breathing in,” “I am breathing out” unless for some reason I am paying attention to it. Otherwise, I am just breathing. When I say, “My breath stopped,” or “I caught my breath,” I do not think whether the breath was out or in. #RandolphHarris 8 of 21

It is something like that with my large mind and my small one. Not much, but something like: at least, both are necessary. If I am too much in my large mind, I lose touch with Earth. If I am too much in my small mind, I lose touch with Heaven. Not a hereafter Heaven, but a Heaven now. When I am living with my bothness properly, my work is joy, my play is joy. When I am living with my bothness properly, life and death do not concern me: I am prepared for both. When for long periods of time I am never with anyone who speaks the language of art and poetry and music, or with the rest of nature, more and more I feel tight, and bound, isolated, living in a World where I do not belong, where all the people seem to be against me. I can easily feel that they are my enemies, because they get between me and my joy. If people push me down into a cellar and shut me in a room without light or air or sun, are they not my enemies? And that is what people do to me so often. When I do not confuse the image with physical reality, I can feel that this is what they are doing to me in the physical sense. So long as I know that it is only the image expressing to me in the outside way what is going on inside me, I am all right, even though I hurt and am deeply distressed and feel trapped, as though people will not let me out. Am I really wrong that people will not let me out? #RandolphHarris 9 of 21

I want to share my World with them, to have them roam with me and freely play and dance and sometimes weeps, but they insist that I come into their World which is “real.” Both Worlds are real and one when I do not split them. Sometimes when I have gone into their World, the half-World that is called real, the pain is so great…I do not know how to live with it. There is horror, too, at the unknowing cruelty of people, like animals tearing a person apart because to them a person is just meat. Then I feel like shutting my small mind which sees only the small World that is known as this one, and curling up in a ball with the half-World inside me, known as that World, and making it my whole. Or else I feel like lashing out at the beasts who do not know I am a person, trying to get from them what they have taken away from me. People are afraid of my whole World, afraid that I may get lost in it and have no conscience and no caring. However, it is in the whole World that no one can get lost. In either half-World I am lost because I have lost the other. I think that I have made my choice, haven chosen my whole. However, in this there is no choosing, any more than I can choose between night and day. My whole is both, and my happiness cannot be without it. I am always searching in one half-World or the other for what I need to complete me, to make me whole. #RandolphHarris 10 of 21

One general guiding principle as to whether or not a young aspirant on the quest should enter into marriage is that it is necessary that there should be a spiritual harmony. Both must purse the same ideal, for if disharmony enters this would lead to disaster. Both must stand within measurable distance of each other on the spiritual path. In addition to that, it is advisable that there should be physical, magnetic, and temperamental suitability to each other. In any case this decision is a matter which should not be rushed and it will be well to take enough time for consideration. It would be well also to ponder the opinions of wise friends who have met the other person. A decision about marriage should not be made on the basis of emotion alone, but the checks of critical reason and outside judgment should also be introduced. Committing oneself to a life-partnership in marriage is not only of vital importance to Worldly life but also to spiritual life. It may either help inner progress or else lead to spiritual disaster. It is necessary, therefore, that a man, for example, should explain his views to the lady that he is interested in, and if she is unable to accept them sincerely within a reasonable period then he may face the fact that he would be headed for a stoppage on his spiritual journey if he married her. To make a mistake in marriage will bring both pain and trouble to his wife as well as to himself. He should resolve to choose correctly or else to wait patiently until the right young lady appears. #RandolphHarris 11 of 21

The marriage partner should fulfil both the human characteristics needed for satisfaction and the spiritual qualities needed for affinity. Where fate denies this, wisdom counsels abstention from marriage altogether. Otherwise, unnecessary unhappiness is invited. The general rule is that, other things being equal, children will follow their parents’ script regarding family constellation, and this is best shown by taking the simplest factors: number and spacing of children. (The gender of the children cannot be considered, since that is still beyond the control of most parents’—fortunately, since that is one way the scripts are broken up from generation to generation, so that some children, at least, get a new chance.) A careful inquiry among a number of families will reveal a surprising number of “coincidences” in this respect. To further highlight this illustration, there were three boys in the Able family: Cal, Hal, and Val. When Val was born, Hal was four and Cal was six, so that their spacing is 0-4-6. Their father, Don, was the oldest of three children spaced 0-5-7. Their mother, Fan, was the oldest of three girls spaced 0-4-5. Her two sisters Nan and Pan, also had three children each. Fan’s mother was the older of two girls spaced 0-6, with a miscarriage in between. It can be seen that all of these threesomes were spaced within five to seven fertile years. #RandolphHarris 12 of 21

This type of family tree shows how some people tend to follow their parents’ example in family planning as far as number and spacing of offspring are concerned. Let us consider some of the possible “script directives” that might have come from Gramp and Granny to Don and Fan in this particular case. a. “When you grow up, have three children, and then you are free to do as you please.” This is the most flexible, and involves no hurry or constraint. Only if Fan approached menopause without having produced the required three offspring, can fear of “script failure” and loss of mother’s love can occur. However, note that Fan is not free until she third children. This is an “Until” script. b. “When you grow up, have at least three children.” There is no constraint here, but there may be a sense of hurry, particularly if Gramp or Grany makes jokes about Don and Fan’s fertility. This is an “Open End” script, since Fan is free to have as many children as she likes after the third. c. “When you grow up, have no more than three children.” This is no hurry, but there is constraint, and Don and Fan may be uneasy about further pregnancies after the three children are born. This is an “After” script, since it implies that there will be trouble is there are any children after the third. Now let us consider Fan’s point of view if she should have a fourth child, Pedwar, under any of these directives. a. means “The first three children belong to Granny, and must be brought up her way.” #RandolphHarris 13 of 21

Pedwar then becomes Fan’s very own boy, and he may or may not be brought up the same as Cal, Hal, and Val. Fan can use her own autonomy with him, and he may grow up to me freer and more autonomous than the others. Fan may treat him as she did her Raggedy Ann doll. Raggedy Ann was her own very special doll to love as she pleased when she was little, while her other dollars had to be cared for Granny’s way. In other words, Raggedy Ann may have prepared a “script slot” for Pedwar which Fan could fill after she had done her duty by Granny. (b) is similar to (a) expect that Granny has more hold over Pedwar than under plan (a) because he may be considered an extra bonus granted by Granny, rather than a free choice. Under (c) Pedwar is in trouble because Fan has disobeyed Granny in having him; he must therefore be raised as an “unwanted” child, defiantly, uneasily, or guiltily. In such a case, if our working principle is correct, the people around him will remark again and again how different he is from his three older brothers. The next item to consider is the games parents play about the size of their families. For example, Ginnie was the oldest of eleven children, and her mother, Nanny, complained that the last five were unwanted. The naïve assumption would be that Ginnie would be programmed to have six children, but that was not so. She was programmed to have elven children and complain that the last give were unwanted. #RandolphHarris 14 of 21

In that way she would be able to play “There I Go Again,” “harried,” and “Frigid Woman” in her later years, just as her mother did. In fact, this example can be used as a test of psychological sophistication. Given the question: “A woman had eleven children and complained that give of them were unwanted. How many children will her oldest daughter most probably have?” the script analyst would answer “Eleven.” People who answer “Six” will have difficulty in understanding and predicting human reactions, since this answer assumes that important behaviour, like trivial behaviour, is “rationally” motivated, which is not so. It is usually decided by the Parental directives of the script. In investigating this aspect, the parents of the patient are asked, first, how many brothers and sisters they each have; second, how many children they want to have; and third (since as any obstetrician knows, there is many a slip ‘twist the cup and the lip), how many they actually expect to have. If the parents understand how to distinguish correctly between their ego states, a great deal more information can be gained by asking the second and third question in structural form: “How many children does your (Parent, Adult, Child) (want, expect) to have?” This may bring out otherwise hidden conflicts among the three ego states, and between the two parents, which have an important bearing on the script directives they are giving the patient. #RandolphHarris 15 of 21

An even more sophisticated version of this, with corresponding increase in information gained (providing the parents are properly educated to understand the question), is to ask it in a twelve-barreled instead of a six-barreled form: “How many children does your (nurturing, controlling) Parent, Adult and (natural, adapted, rebellious) Child (want, expect) to have?” With the patient himself, the most profitable question to ask, since it is the one he is most likely to have the answer to, is: “What is your position in the family?” followed by “When were you born?” The exact birthdays of the next older and the next younger must be obtained so that the differences can be calculated in months, if the children came close together. If the speaker comes into a World which is already occupied by a sister or a brother, it will make a considerable difference in his script decisions whether that sibling is older by eleven months, thirty-six months, elven years, or twenty years. This difference will depend not only on his relationship with that sibling, but also on his parents’ attitude toward that particular spacing of children. The same two consideration apply concerning the next born: it is important to know the speaker’s exact age—for example, eleven months, nineteen months, five years, or sixteen years, at the time the next child arrived on the scene. In general, all siblings born before the speaker reaches his seventh birthday will have a decisive influence on his script, and one of the important factors is the number of months’ difference in age between them, since as noted above, this will affect not only his own attitude but that of his parents as well. If the speaker is a twin, or came before or after twins, notable variations occur. #RandolphHarris 16 of 21

In some cases, where the patient is interested in astrology, meteorology, or hagiology, the exact date of his own birth will have a strong script significance. If his parents had a similar interest in the calendar, this is especially important. A person’s experience of the World is invisible to others. All that anyone can perceive directly of another person is action, body, and speech. The gulf between one consciousness and another cannot be crossed, except through acts of intuition, empathy, and imagination and through communication with shared understandings. If the other person experiences the World in more dimensions, in greater depth, and with more breadth of vision than oneself, one cannot even imagine what that experience might be, because one can imagine only within limits set by one’s own experience. How, then, can a person recognize when he or she is in the presence of a teacher? One answer lies in surprise and unpredictability. If the other person presents ideas that come as a surprise to the listener; if the other person’s actions are of surprising skill and grace; of if he or she achieves truly lofty, noble objectives that seem unthinkable to the average person; the possibility arises that the other person is an enlarged consciousness. Boris Spassky, the Russian chess master, may have had a moment of suspicious that Bobby Fischer was a larger awareness, when he finally yielded the championship to him. #RandolphHarris 17 of 21

A second key lies in authenticity. There must be come clear evidence of this attribute; one indicator, as discussed earlier, is that the teacher always permits the follower to be psychologically and physically free to leave immediately. Instances of mind control by various colorful, seductive cult leaders require the immediate freedom test. A person with a larger awareness faces a problem in communicating with those of lesser awareness. Indeed, we cannot help but realize that all training schemes, even those devised by “behaviour modification” experts, are ways to alter and enlarge consciousness. Enlarged consciousness is infectious. Thus, dictators of authoritarian nations and cult leaders seek to censor writers and artists, to avoid having their awareness of tyranny and control transmitted to the masses, who then would be less manipulable. Awareness is power, the power to affect others for their betterment or to their detriment. Perhaps this is why, in all the mystical and religious traditions, the “mysteries and secrets” are never revealed to novices until they have proven to their elders that they will employ the knowledge that is revealed to them for the good of humanity, not to exploit this knowledge. Young people must undergo tests of their maturity and virtue before they are initiated into the knowledge and responsibilities of adulthood. Fathers and mothers and children, wherever you are, I want you to know that I know we have a Father in Heaven, and I want you to know that His Son Jesus is the Christ; and I want you to know what I know He established His kingdom on the Earth for our blessing and for our benefit. If we will follow His teachings, I testify that there is a prophet on the Earth, and we will be happy. #Randolphharris 18 of 21

The Sacramento Fire Department provides an all-hazards approach in the protection of the lives and property of the residents, businesses, and visitors of Sacramento, California. The men and women of the Sacramento Fire Department are committed to delivering best in class service to its community. “We recently had a fire in an old rooming house, which had been abandoned by the owners and had turned into an urban campground for transients. They would literally set up camp in this place, cooking on the floors and whatnot. It was a three-story frame building with some thirty rooms in it. It was just a maze. Several guys went inside, and they found it funny. But they rescued some of the transients, and it was a rescue. We’re a very professional and very strong department. We had a whole generation of people who joined the fire department right after the war in Afghanistan and were retiring in this decade. So our current members are quite young, with a lot of young officers. There have been some major changes. We are now wearing masks routinely. We did a training program recently in a rural area. We were setting up a practice fire for rookies in a shed outside the farmhouse, and when we went into the shed, we found the remnants of all kinds of hazardous chemicals and pesticides. The stuff is everywhere. So we are much more conscious about breathing apparatus, and we have become much more concerned about personal safety. #RandolphHarris 19 of 21

“I have never seen people back away from a situation where there is a life at risk. But I have seen fires in the last few years that might have been fought offensively in the old days—in large buildings, or buildings which are unsafe, or where a large body of fire is involved. Today we are doing more defensive stuff. And I think that’s healthy. When you fight a fire offensively, you will up, throw on a mask, take a nozzle into the building, and you don’t open up the nozzle until you’re right on top of the fire. So you’re in a building that can collapse at any moment, and if there are bad calls on strategy, you run the risk of the fire pushing at you. On the other hand, when you fight a fire defensively, you don’t place your personnel in dangerous situations but fight it from outside. As they say, surround and drown. Or, in other words, break out the hot dogs and marshmallows.” The Sacramento Fire Department provides prompt, quality services to their stakeholders that promote safety and well-being, enhance sustainability, and enrich the quality of life through professional development and dedication to service. The Sacramento Fire Department strives for excellence in emergency preparedness and response to enhance their customer-focused, innovative role as industry leaders while overcoming expanding risks. Their core values are innovation, inclusivity, dedication, courageousness, excellence, ethicality, professionalism, and transparency.
