After man has studied comparative religion, comparative metaphysics, and comparative mysticism, taking the East as well as the West in his stride, he is better fitted to come to right conclusions about truth, God, reality, the soul, and life’s purpose. As we bind ourselves to act as covenant disciples, our relationship with the Father and Son is enriched, our joy enhanced, and our eternal perspective expanded. We have a Heavenly Farther, who loves us as His children. His love for us is perfect. Jesus Christ and His mission illustrate God’s love for us. As John wrote, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” In our quest to understand what we do not know, we might sometimes rely on our familiar mortal experienced, or things we do know. For example, we can learn somewhat of God the Father through our own parenthood and mortal family. However, we should be careful in applying these comparisons too far in our attempt to understand our Heavenly Father. The attributers of God the Father transcend any less-than-perfect attributes of a fallen man. God the Father is the perfect Father. He is perfectly loving, kind, patient, and understanding and is perfectly glorious. We can trust Him perfectly. The love of Christ reflects the love of God the Father and is a representation of that love. #RandolphHarris 1 of 23

Reciprocity is a moral virtue. We ought to be disposed, as a matter of moral obligation, to return good in proportion to the good we receive, and to make reparation for the harm we have done. Moreover, reciprocity is a fundamental virtue. Its requirements have presumptive priority over many competing considerations, and that priority makes reciprocity a crucial consideration for a wide variety of important moral problems. Specifically, reciprocity fixes the outline of our nonvoluntary social obligations—the obligations we acquire during social life, but acquire without regard to our invitation, consent, or acceptance. Leading examples include some of our obligations to our families, to future generations, and to obey the law. We should talk about these matters, not in any spirit of animosity—of which the world is sadly too full-but in a spirit of mutual enlightenment, as of brothers calmly consulting to assist each other towards the elimination of mistakes. We must discuss these questions in the detached manner of the philosopher, and keep out those angry emotions and acrimonious words which often escape partisans in theological discussions. It is not at all hard for anyone with enough brains to state a case for being good and then to state a case of equal strength for being bad. Logical argument alone cannot provide a final test of the truth of any case. For this, we must go also to impersonal feeling, mystical intuition, and not least, practical life. #RandolphHarris 2 of 23

The recognition that the synthetic view is the only right viewpoint will initiate a new epoch in the world of thought. For every argument that is set up and defended, there is always a possibility to set up another argument whereby it is contradicted or destroyed. The only qualification of this seemingly hopeless position is that we approach nearer truth as the contradictions lessen. A dialogue where both seek to learn, is what ought to take place, not a polemic where each listens only to himself! The region of logical intellect offers no durable abiding place for the questing human mind. Every argument can be met by another of equal force, every opinion cancelled by another of equal weight; nor is there any end to the process except escape from this region altogether. However, the escape should be on to a higher region, to that of genuine intuition, and not to a lower one like that of superstition belief. The futility of a solely logical attempt to solve problems concerning the human being, and his nature, relations, and activities, is shown by the many cases where men of equal intellectual capacity and academic status offer conflicting interpretations of the same fact or arrive at opposite conclusions from the same premises. Too often a study is made from a single angle only and neglects all the others. The result is a narrowed, limited understanding which leaves out factors that may be much more important. Each one omitted is, by implication, denied. A philosophical view takes as many aspects as possible into account to get nearer the full truth. #RandolpHarris 3 of 23

The Truth is found intellectually not at one end of a pair of opposite alternatives, not by making a choice between two concepts only, but by grinding and synthesizing the interplay of forces and experiences which must be considered. His conclusions are not hastily and impulsively reached. They follow the gathering of sufficient evidence, which means sufficient to give both sides of the case. He gives careful thought to it before he gives an opinion about it. He may go so far even as to put himself in the receptive mood which would make it possible for him to see a variant teaching in the light with which its followers see it. (One can, perhaps.) He may try to understand and sympathize with a viewpoint that may or may not have much to recommend it. However, if he should permit himself to respond thus, he would have to return from this standpoint anyway, for his critical intellect would, upon resuming renewed activity, ask insistent questions. The time comes when the seeker must sift out all the doctrines he has received and let those go which lack reasonableness, the sound of truth, the lofty tone of impersonality. And even after he has sieved away the ideas born of narrowness, pettiness, bigotry, prejudice, and false sentimentality, he has still to choose those which he can usefully work with. He will collect his ideas not from books alone, but also from various other sources, orthodox and unorthodox, conventional and off-beat. #RandolphHarris 4 of 23

Looking around in society or in one’s clinical practice, it is not difficult to find examples of every character in the Cinderella story, from Cinderella herself, and her immediate family, through the ineffectual Prince and the King, and even down to the jolly, whiskered coachman who never said a word and who started out life as a rat. There are also shoe-fitters who Come To Find Out that what looks like a sow’s ear is really a silk purse. While the therapist can listen to the patient and search around in his head for a fairy tale which many match what he hears, or leaf through Stith Thompson’s motif-index when he gets home, a simpler way is to ask the patient himself to tell his life story as a fairy tale. An example of this was Drusilla, who was not a patient, but obliged during a seminar on fairy tales. An ancestor of Drusilla’s, many generations back, invented a widely used device, so that his name is still a household word. The story starts with Drusilla’s mother Vanessa, who was a descendant of this patriarch. Vanessa’s father died when she was quite young and she went to live in the home of her great-uncle, Charles. Charles lived on a large ranch near Los Angeles, complete with swimming pool, tennis courts, private lake, and even a golf course. Vanessa grew up in these surroundings and met people from many countries. She was not too happy, however, and when she was seventeen, she eloped with a man from the Philippines, named John Ryan. Their two daughters, Drusilla, and her sister Eldora, were raised on a plantation there. #RandolphHarris 5 of 23

Drusilla was her father’s favorite. Eldora was something of a tomboy and became very athletic, an expert horsewoman, archer, and golfer. Her father used to beat her, but he never laid a hand on Drusilla. One day when Eldora was about eighteen, her father wanted to punish her. By this time, Eldora was as tall as he was and much stronger. As he advanced on her, she cowered, as she had always done, but suddenly Drusilla observed a strange transformation. Eldora drew herself up, flexed her muscles, and said to her father, “Don’t you dare ever lay a hand on me again.” She looked him fiercely in the eye and her father in his turn now cowered and backed away. Shortly after this, Vanessa divorced him and went with her two children to live on Uncle Charles’ estate. Drusilla in her turn now lived on her great-uncle’s ranch and met a man from a faraway country, whom she married. By him, she had two children. However, she always liked to make things so she became a weaver, and finally a teacher of weaving. It was because of her interest in weaving that she came to the seminar on fairy tales. Drusilla was asked to tell her story in the form of a fairy tale, using the script analyst’s language of frogs, princes, princesses, winners and losers, witches and ogres. #RandolphHarris 6 of 23

Here is the way she told it: “Once upon a time, there was a king who conquered many lands, which his oldest son inherited. The kingdom was passed on from generation to generation. Since the oldest son inherited the kingdom, the younger sons got very little. One of the poor younger sons had a daughter Vanessa, but he died while on a hunt. Vanessa’s uncle, the king, then took her to live with him at the palace and there she met a prince from a strange and faraway land. The prince took her away from the kingdom to his own kingdom by the sea, where many unique flowers and forests grew. After a while, however, she found that her prince, John Ryan, was really a frog. John Ryan was equally surprised when he discovered that the beautiful bride whom he had married because he thought she was a princess turned out to be a witch. John Ryan and Vanessa had two daughters. The oldest, Eldora, was a frog like her father and he did not like her at all and used to scold her and beat her when she was little. The younger daughter, Drusilla, was a princess, and Manuel treated her like one. One day, a fairy came to Eldora and said to her, ‘I will protect you. If your father ever tries to beat you again, you must tell him to stop.’ So the next time John Ryan tried to beat Eldora, she suddenly felt very strong and told him that he must never beat her again. John Ryan was very indignant and thought it was his wife Vanessa who has caused Eldora to turn on him, so Vanessa moved away. She and her two daughters left faraway kingdom and went back to the kingdom of Uncle Charles where the two girls lived happily unto one day a prince came and fell in love with Drusilla. They were married with great pomp and had two beautiful daughters and Drusilla lived happily ever after, raising her children and weaving beautiful tapestries.” #RandolphHarris 7 of 23

Everybody at the seminar thought that was a fine story. Material objects are an integral part of one’s self-concept, regardless of the orientation of one’s society to socialism or materialism. Thus, your records, your car, some favorite items of clothing, such as an old pair of work pants or a woolly sweater (or Linus’s security blanket), are part of your self. So much are they a part of the self that we hesitate to lean them out, in the same way that we might hesitate to lean our identity to another person. Should your record get damaged, or your car dented, you would be just as upset as if you yourself were wounded. We maintain these objects of self as though they were the self. The list of objects perceived by people as part of the self can be limitless: a camera, pots and pans, home or room, a favorite pen, a violin or saxophone, a guitar, a special book, a special collection of art, or ceramic rhinoceroses, tools, a ring, a watch, a diary, a boat, or a TV. The body is not always an integral part of the self-concept, even though for most people there is probably no more certain object in the self-concept. Plato, for example, describes Socrates’ pleasure at the impending loss of his body. (He was sentenced to death for corrupting the youth.) Socrates sees himself as freed from the heavy burden of the physical self. He sees his “real” self as his soul, which will be freer to function unencumbered by the body. Yet, of course, for most human beings, the body is the central aspect of the self-concept. “How do I look?” we ask our spouse or our roommate or date. We ask asking about our physical appearance. We are worrying over the physical body even more during the present unisex period of our society’s development. Whereas indications from early research indicated more attention paid to the concept of the body by women, this seems to be evening out as, for example, men seek their hair styles rather than barbers. In the twenty-first century, it would require a great commitment to another, more abstract style of life for a person not to see the body as an important part of the self-concept. #RandolphHarris 8 of 23

One of the significant differences between the manipulator and the actualizer lies in the way each approached the dimension of time. Past, present, and future exist for both, of course. However, each uses these three aspects of the flow of time in vastly different ways. For the manipulator, past events—real or imagined—conveniently provide excuses for failures. The future (since in one sense it never really arrives) is where manipulators can base their promises. As for the present-oriented manipulators, they talk a lot about what they are doing and may seem to be busy, but in fact they seldom accomplish much of anything. From our studies of the time-orientation of manipulators, we have come to the following conclusions: The past-oriented manipulator is characterized by guilt, regret, remorse, blaming and resentments. He or she never lets go of past hurts, never wipes the slate clean of unhappy memories. Listen to the manipulator, and you will hear such things as: “I feel so bad about what happened to my dad. Life has no meaning for me now.” “If only my parents had encouraged me to stay in college, I’d have my degree now. It’s too late to go back, and it’s all their fault.” “If my wife had only stopped nagging, or if only my husband had paid more attention to me, our marriage would have lasted.” “My boss is completely unreasonable! How does he expect me to do a good job for him?” #RandolphHarris 9 of 23

The future-oriented manipulators continually live in a world that does not yet exist. Their days are filled with idealized goals, high expectations, elaborate plans, grandiose predictions—and nagging fears. They are obsessive worriers who project their hopes and anxieties into the future. “Someday I’ll get going and return to school. I’ve got too many responsibilities now.” “You wait and see, I’ll be working here long after those guys are gone.” “I’m so worried about what is going to happen, I just can’t do anything right.” “I promise to do better next time.” Manipulators who are present-oriented are individuals whose past does not contribute to the present in any meaningful way and who have no future goals tied to present activity. They keep feverishly busy, but all their activity is a way to avoid facing themselves. They would say: “I’ve got so many responsibilities right now, I just don’t have time to think.” “I have three children and a spouse to care for, and I don’t have time for myself.” “I’ve made a list of all the things I’m doing today.” Actualizing person, on the other hand, are primarily time-competent. They are concerned with living fully in the present, but use the past and future to make the present more meaningful. They understand that memory and anticipation are acts in the present. The focus, therefore, of the actualizing individual is on the present with and future as background. Past, present, and future are, to the actualizing individual, a gestalt—a whole. It is impossible to see both figures at the same time. One must choose. The actualizer accepts the unchangeable particulars of the past and the indefiniteness of the future, and focuses on the part over which he or she has most power: the reality of the present. #RandolphHarris 10 of 23

Many unmarried women are deeply ashamed of having a lover, although in their conscious thinking, they are quite unconventional. In the case of such a woman, it is of importance to ascertain first whether her pride is hurt by the lover. If so, has the shame to do with his not being sufficiently glamorous or devoted? With her allowing him to treat her badly? With her being dependent on him? Or does the shame pertain to the fact of having a lover at all, regardless of his status and personality? If so, is it for her a matter of prestige to be married? Is the situation of having a lover, but remaining single, a proof of being unworthy and unattractive? Or should she be above desires for pleasures of the flesh, like a vestal virgin? Often the very same incident may elicit either reaction—that of shame or that of humiliation—the one or the other prevailing. A man is rejected by a girl; he can either feel humiliated by her and react with a, “Who does she think she is?” or her can feel ashamed that his charm or his virility seems not to be compelling. A comment made in a discussion falls flat; he can either feel humiliated by “these darned fools who do not understand me,” or he can feel ashamed of his own awkwardness. Somebody takes advantage of him’ he can either feel humiliated by the exploiter or ashamed of himself for not having asserted his own interests. His children are not brilliant or popular; he can feel humiliated by this fact, and take it out on them, or her can feel with shame that in some way or other, he has failed them. #RandolphHarris 11 of 23

These observations point to the necessity of reorientating our thinking. We are inclined to put too great an emphasis on the actual situation, and to think that it determines or reactions. If he is caught in a lie, we are inclined, for instance, to regard it as “natural” for a person to react with shame. However, then, the next fellow does not feel that way at all; instead, he feels humiliated by the one who found him out and turns against him. Our reactions are thus determined not merely by the situation but even more by our own neurotic needs. More specifically, the same principle operates in the reaction of shame or humiliation as in the transformation of values. In aggressive expansive types, reactions of shame can be strikingly absent. Even the minute scrutiny of the analytical searchlight may not detect any traces at the beginning. These people who either live so much in the imagination that in their own mind they are without blemish, or they have so covered themselves with a protective layer of militant rightness that everything they do, eo ipso, is right. Injuries to their price can come only from the outside. Any questioning of their motivations, any uncovering of a handicap is felt as an insult. They can but suspect malicious intent in any person who does this to them. In self-effacing types, reactions of humiliation are by far overshadowed by feelings of shame. On the surface, they are subdued and preoccupied with an anxious concern to measure up to their shoulds. #RandolphHarris 12 of 23

However, for reasons to be discussed later, they focus rather on their failure to be the ultimate of perfection and hence feel easily ashamed. The analyst can therefore, from the prevalence of one or the other reaction, draw tentative conclusions as to relevant trends in the underlying structure. One of Hegel’s commentators, Alexandre Kojeve, of left-wing tendencies it is true, but orthodox in his opinion on this point, notes Hegel’s hostility to the moralists and remarks that his only axiom is to live according to the manners and customers of one’s nation. A maxim of social conformity of which Hegel, in fact, gave the most cynical proofs. Kojeve adds, however, that this conformity is legitimate only to the extent that the customs of the nation correspond to the spirit of the times—in other words, to the extent that they are solidly established and can resist revolutionary criticism and attacks. However, who will determine their solidity and who will judge their validity? For a hundred years, the capitalist regimes of the West have withstood violent assaults. Should they for that reason be considered legitimate? Inversely, should those who were faithful to the Weimar Republic have abandoned it and pledged themselves to Mr. Hitler in 1933 because the former collapsed when attacked by the latter? Should the Spanish Republic have been betrayed at the exact moment when General Franco’s forces triumphed? These are conclusions that traditional reactionary thought would have justified within its own perspectives. #RandolphHarris 13 of 23

The novelty, of which the consequences are incalculable, lies in the fact that revolutionary thought has assimilated them. The suppression of every moral value and of all principles and their replacement by the fact, as provisional but actual king, could only lead, as we have plainly seen, to political cynicism, whether it be fact as envisioned by the individual or, more serious still, fact envisioned by the State. The political movements, or ideologies, inspired by Hegel are all untied in the ostensible abandonment of virtue. Hegel could not, in fact, prevent those who had read him, with feelings of anguish which were far from methodical in a Europe that was already torn asunder by injustice, from finding themselves precipitated into a world without innocence and without principles—into the very world of which Hegel says that it is a sin, since it is separated from the spirit. Hegel, of course, permits the forgiveness of sins at the end of history. Until then, however, every human activity is sinful. “Therefore, only the absence of activity is innocent, the existence of a stone and not even the existence of a child.” Thus, even innocence of stones is unknown to us. Without innocence there are no human relations and no reason. Without reason, there is nothing but naked force, the master and slave waiting for reason one day to prevail. Between master and slave, even suffering is solitary, joy is without foundation, and both are underserved. Then how can one live, how endure life when friendship is reserved for the end of time? The only escape is to create order with the use of weapons. #RandolphHarris 14 of 23

“Kill or enslave!”—those who have really considered only the first part of the dilemma. From it they have derived a philosophy of scorn and despair and have deemed themselves slaves and nothing but slaves, bound by death to the absolute Master and by the whip to their terrestrial masters. This philosophy of the guilty conscience has merely taught them that every slave is enslaved only by his own consent, and can be liberated only by an act of protest which coincides with death. Answering the challenge, the most courageous among them have completely identified themselves with this act of protest and have dedicated themselves to death. After all, to say that negation is a positive act justified in advance every kind of negation and predicted the cry of Bakunin and Nechaive: “Our mission is to destroy, not to construct.” A nihilist for Hegel was only a skeptic who had no escape but contradiction or philosophic suicide. However, he himself gave birth to another type of nihilist, who, making boredom into a principle of action, identified suicide with philosophic murder. It was at this point that the terrorists were born who deiced that it was necessary to kill and die in order to exist, because mankind and history could achieve their creation only by sacrifice and murder. The magnificent idea that all idealism is chimerical if it is not paid for by risking one’s life was to be developed to the fullest possible extent by young men who were not engaged in expounding the concept from the safe distance of a university chair before dying in their beds, but among the tumult of falling bombs and even on the gallows. By doing this and even by their errors they corrected their master and demonstrated, contrary to his teaching, that one kind of aristocracy, at least, is superior to the hideous aristocracy of success exalted by Hegel: The aristocracy of sacrifice. #RandolphHarris 15 of 23

California is the third most expensive state in the nation. A single person making an income above $100,000 is now consider low-income in five counties in California. This distinction now applies to individuals living in Santa Cruze, Santa Clara, San Mateo, San Francisco, and Marin counties. In 37 percent of counties, a family of four living on a six-figure income is now considered low-income.  In fact, Governor Gavin Newsom of Democratic controlled California, brags about being the world’s “fifth largest economy,” but it also facing a $12 billion deficit, looking to cut $747 million for state worker’s pay, pushing to keep medical insurance for illegal immigrants, but wants to cut medical for anyone who has assets over $2,000 and the state has the largest homeless population in the nation. If they are all officially counted, California has approximately 4 million homeless people. The highest home prices in the nation, the highest taxes and the most unfriendly business regulations known to man. The average home price in California is nearly $1,000,000.00 USD, while the average salary is $96,036.00, meaning that most Californians cannot even afford to buy a home. California is having an affordability crisis. In 2025, many people in California saw their bills increase by an estimated $500 a month. This includes things like food, automobile insurance, homeowner’s insurance, electricity. In fact, more than 3 million people in California are facing household hardship, and more than 300,000 of them are facing eviction soon. This comes at a time when California is having a shortage of affordable housing. This is caused by nearly half a century’s old laws that discourage homes sales and encourage higher rents. Meanwhile, China, where we are sending all of our jobs and money has more than 50 ghost cities. Ghost cities are regions will housing has been overdeveloped to the point that these places are uninhabited. Because California is so hostile towards people and businesses, more than 360 companies have fled the state since 2020. Businesses like Chevron, SpaceX, Oracle, and Hewlett Packard are amongst the names on that list. #RandolphHarris 16 of 23

Also, more than 500,000 people a year are abandoning California because it is too expensive to live in, Gavin Newsom has criminalized homelessness and actually started arresting people without homes, crime is out of control, and they are losing their jobs due to companies relocating. More than 100 companies have announced layoffs in California for 2025. Intel is cutting 15,000 jobs, PayPal 2,500 and Meta has terminated 4,000 employees. The California crisis created by Democrats is driving up home prices and mortgages and rents all over the nation and the world, making living unaffordable for all, and advocates say the crisis is far from over. Accordingly, California has more than 3.5 million illegal immigrants. Having the Southern American boarder open and not having American farmland protected, not producing beef, poultry, fish, fruit, produce and dairy in America, and without American goods and services being our number one manufactured and selling items, America has created a dangerous and significantly elevated risks to national security, national economic security, and national public health. Some people may believe that these claims are overstated, but by not routinely monitoring Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CEVs) or other security relevant alerts, such as end-of-life of machinery is how the Oroville Dam Crisis occurred in 2017. Other crises that have occurred due to neglect of critical infrastructure is the 2025 Palisades fires because Southern California ran out of water, when they are located next to an ocean and they could have simply created desalinating plants to help with the water shortage. The water is so plentiful that it is currently eroding land and causing homes to fall into the sea. #RandolphHarris 17 of 23

The American government should know all exploitable vulnerabilities and fix them prior to the situation becoming a crisis. Failure to take such mitigating actions is dangerous and significantly elevates risk to national security, national economic security, and national public health and safety. The American government must understand that significant time and resources must be invested in America. They must also encourage corporations to plan for both mitigating safety vulnerabilities in the short term and eliminating them in the long term. For instance, a company might begin by reaching out to the federal, state or local government and requesting tax incentives to provide security to dangerous communities, to help the government repair bridges and potholes. America needs an approach to eliminate safety vulnerabilities in American cities. There needs to be a road map by the end of 2025, outlining a prioritized approach to eliminate crisis situations in America. There is enough money to send aid to foreign nations, but the American government does not have enough money to care their infrastructure, provide adequate resources, nor end the affordable housing crisis. Nor is there enough money to fund other national critical functions (NCFs). These bad practices of putting America and Americans last is considered exceptionally risky, particularly to national security, national economic security, and national public health and safety. In 2024, Americans spent $100 billion on Japanese cars. #RandolphHarris 18 of 23

The maximum percentage of your gross income that you should earmark for a monthly mortgage payment is calculated at 28 percent, and no more than 36 percent of your gross income to all debts, including mortgage. If you take 28 percent of the median household income per home in Sacramento County, homeowners can only afford a mortgage of $2,070.23 per month. And if you take 36 percent of their gross income to all debts, including mortgage, they should be devoting no more than $2,661.72 a month to these debts. Mortgage lenders must be using some kind of sorcery to get buyers into these expensive homes. To afford one of these homes using traditional guidelines, a household would need to gross $11,280.24 per month or $135,362.88 per year, but the median household in Sacramento County is grossing $7,393.67 or $88,724.00 and that typically means two to four people in the home are working and contributing to the mortgage. Prices in Sacramento County are actually rivaling the Bay Area, and the Bay Aera is so expensive because they have more higher paying jobs and is a tourist destination. And with the State of California being in a budget deficit of $12 billion, Governor Gavin Newsom Granted 700,000 illegal immigrants free health care at a cost to taxpayers of $3 billion annually, while cutting vital programs for veterans, school children, the disabled and the homeless, and is proposing to fast-track his plan to build a $20 billion water tunnel beneath the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta by eliminating environmental reviews and limit avenues for legal challenges. Gavin Newsom only cares about the environment when his policies allow him to raise taxes and restrict freedoms. #RandolphHarris 19 of 23

In fact, Mexico has been causing one of America’s worst environmental disasters. Fifty million gallons a day of industrial chemicals, untreated sewage, and trash flow from Tijuana, Mexico, into southern San Diego County daily. This toxic waste has been turning up on Imperial Beach, and is causing the miles of white sands to become polluted and the ocean breeze to smell of poop, which has been sickening residents and wildlife and costing San Diego millions in the form of lost tourism and health problems. The problem has been going on for more than a century. However, it has become a public health crisis as the population of Tijuana has drastically increased, in recent years, and the waste treatment plants have no longer usable. The beach has been closed for more than three years, and evidence suggests that even breathing the air may be harmful, as toxic particles in the water can become airborne. Yet, even though Gavin Newsom has been governor for six years, he has not rushed into action to stop this very preventable environmental disaster. Why? Because he is not getting kickbacks from China and Mexico, not being gifted mansions and cars, and he cannot tax the struggling California taxpayers to clean up this mess. Simply, it is not profitable for him. Gavin Newsom has been a total tyrant with no regard for taxpayers and does not have a mind for business and should be impeached as soon as possible. He has criminalized poverty, increased taxes, increased tax on gas, and insurance rates so high that people are struggling to survive. In addition to Gavin Newsom’s increased gas prices starting 1 July 2025, the war between Iran and Israel is going to further exacerbate the prices of gas and cause more inflation and economic hardship for people in California. Meanwhile, Gavin Newsom has also given billions of taxpayer dollars away to illegal immigrants and protected them from law enforcement, while arresting law abiding Americans because they cannot afford to pay rent or mortgage and the homeless shelters are unsafe, overcrowded and have restrictions on who is allowed inside. Wars have been started over governments who tax citizens without representation. Taxation without representation is what led to the American Revolution. If Gavin Newsom is not stopped, next he will euthanize the poor and sterilize the disabled. Gavin Newsom has wars and fires breaking out on the streets, but goes out of his way to arrest people who have no place to live. This monster is unfit to be governor and must never be allowed to be President of America! Stop Gavin Newsom now! Save California and impeach this unreasonable man. #RandolphHarris 20 of 23

Meanwhile, with President Trump, we are seeing crime rates sharply decrease, and he recently secured $10 trillion in investments. Additionally, in May of 2025 the United States of America collected a record $22.3 billion in tariff revenue. President Trump has also been nominated for a Noble Peace Prize for making Iran and Israel crease fire. If elected president for an unprecedented third term, to make housing more affordable and to offset the cost of homeowner’s insurance and auto insurance, President Trump plans to abolish property taxes. Much like the land crisis in Las Vegas, we could also run out of land to farm and will not be able to grow or cultivate our own food. We can protect American farmland and support American farmers by buying American made beef, poultry, dairy, and produce. Also, country of origin labeling is very important so Americans can know where their food is coming from and have the ability to support American farmers and ranchers. As money flows, it influences further investment. Save the land that sustains us by protecting American farmland. Once the land is built on, we lose it forever.  And in the future, there may be food wars. Also, to ensure that we have farmland and buildable land for future use, we need to start limiting the number of people allowed to immigrant to America. Perhaps with the immigrants we do allow into America, there needs to be a diversity program to make sure we have a population that equally represents all races of people. If Americans continue to spend money on American products, then more need to be made to keep up the inventory. When investors notice these goods are selling, it gives them the confidence to pour more money into that local business. It shows that people want these goods made in America and pressures investors to keep these goods and services in America. The jobs stay here, the business stays in American, wages naturally increase, and more money is invested to keep up with demand. This reduces the burden on the taxpayer. When you support American businesses, that money stays in our economy and can help to reduce the national debt. The government creates debt by borrowing from businesses in the private sector or from foreign countries. It also increases the national debt by spending more than it gains in tax revenue in a fiscal year. #RandolphHarris 21 of 23

When people shop locally, more tax money stays in the economy and goes to the government. This way, it keeps more money in our national economy and keeps more jobs located in American which also sends more taxes to the government, which can again help to reduce the national debt. When you buy foreign goods, these companies usually have lighter tax loads or exemptions, meaning less money for the nation debt, plus you are helping to strengthen these foreign nations by send more money overseas. Buying American made products is also better for the environment and helps to reduce the carbon footprint because these products do not have to travel nearly as far. Furthermore, American companies and manufacturers are held to much higher standards on pollution. American companies must be more careful about air, land, and water pollution and have proper ways to dispose of waste. Moreover, please remember to respect law and order and treat your elders with the utmost dignity and kindness possible. And take your education seriously so that you will be successful in life and make your family proud. It is inborn in the human minds to wish to know. If this begins with the endless surface questions of a child’s curiosity, if it continues into deeper questions of a scientist’s probing investigation, it cannot and does not stop there. For the higher part of the mind will eventually come into unfoldment, that union of abstract reflective thought with mystical intuition, which is true intelligence, which needs and sees a view of the whole of things. And so, the knowing faculty enters the realm of philosophy. #RandolphHarris 22 of 23

As you can see, President Donald Trump and his pledge to “Make America Great Again,” is exactly what America needs to save the country and the American people. And yes, diversity is important, so you can see why it is also important to preserve blonde hair and blue eyes as the people with these characteristics are becoming a minority in America. We must think before we can understand the soul’s existence; we must understand before we can realize it. The earliest beginnings of thought, as apart from instinct, when it was itself still but a lurking tendency, belong far back in primeval time. The human intellect as we find it today, so rich and developed an instrument for the consciousness of the ego, did not arrived at this fulness without a series of graduated stages. We have had plenty of scientific thinking, business thinking, and political thinking long enough, but we have had very little inspired thinking. That is the world’s need. The intellect is cradled in selfishness but runs the evolutionary track into reason where it will one day finish at the winning-post of selflessness. As a reminder, parents, pleasure teach your children love America and be patriotic citizens and to buy goods and services made in America. It is also important to respect law and order and treat your elders with respect. “Oh, thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand between their loved home and the war’s desolation! Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n-rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, and this be our motto: ‘In God is our trust.’ And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.” #RandolphHarris 23 of 23
