When a man has the right stuff in him, all he needs is just opportunity, and nothing else. If he possesses a sufficient degree of talent plus the determination to succeed, there is no stage so humble that it cannot be made a jumping-off ground to better things. The welfare principles of the Church are not simply good ideas; they are revealed truths from God—they hare His ways of helping the needy. In the Lord’s plan, our commitment to welfare principles should be at the very root of our faith and devotion to Him. Since the beginning of time, our Heavenly Father has spoken with great clarity on this subject: from the gentle plea, “If thou lovest me…thou wilt remember the poor, and consecrate of thy properties for their support”; the direct command, “Remember in all things the poor and the needy, the sick and the afflicted, for he that doeth not these things, the same is not my disciple”; to the forceful warning, “If any man shall take of the abundance which I have made, and impart not his portion, according to the law of my gospel, unto the poor and the needy, he shall, with the wicked, lift up his eyes in hell, being in torment.” The two great commandments—to love God and our neighbour—are a joining of the temporal and the spiritual. It is important to note that these two commandments are called “great” because every other commandment hangs upon them. In other words, our personal, family, and Church priorities must begin here. All other goals and actions should spring from the fountain of these two great commandments—from our love for God and for our neighbour. #RandolphHarris 1 of 20

We make attempts to preserve the “both-and” of Christ and culture and that is a dualism which holds them together in paradox. The dualist begins with two absolute principles: grace is in God, and sin is in man, and there is no bridging the chasm. This differs from the synthesis in that we see a deeper and more extensive corruption in man and culture, but over this human depravity is cast the cloak of divine forgiveness and reconciliation in Jesus as the Christ. As examples of this motif, we refer to St. Paul, Marcion, and especially Luther. The latter distinguishes but does not divide the Kingdom of God from the kingdom of the World. The dualism is spanned by attributing to Christ the spirit or the how of moral action, but leaving to an autonomous culture the what of the content: From Christ we received knowledge and the freedom to do faithfully and lovingly what culture teaches or requires us to do. Although sinful culture stands under the condemnation of God, the same divine authority commands us to participate in it. Hence the paradox of Christ and culture. The estimate is that this dualistic paradox corresponds to the human experience in which man is forever bumping up against the prevalence of sin, and yet always receiving the gift of grace. This dualist’s position inclines also to a cultural conservatism because it does not contribute to the content of culture, but views social and political institutions as bulwarks against sin rather than as beneficial agencies for good. However, we try to keep in our theonomy a beneficial side, religious substance in culture. #RandolphHarris 2 of 20

The Giver of all life has proclaimed, “All things unto me are spiritual, and not at any time have I given unto you a low which was temporal.” This means to me that, “spiritual life is first of all a life. It is not merely something to be known and studied, it is to be lived.” Unfortunately, there are those who overlook the temporal because they consider it less important. They treasure the spiritual while minimizing the temporal. While it is important to have our thoughts inclined toward Heaven, if our hands are not also inclined toward our fellowman, we miss the essence of our religion. Evil spirits sometimes work in “Christian” gatherings. Suppose “conviction of sin” by deceiving spirits…I untied with a number of brethren and sisters one whole week every month, in prayer to God to pour out more of His Spirit, gifts and power. After having done this for some time with great earnestness, such powerful and wonderful manifestations of God and His Holy Spirit (apparently) took place that we no longer doubted God had heard our prayer, and His Spirit had descended into our midst, and on our gathering. Amongst other things, this spirit, which we thought to be the Holy Spirit, used a fifteen-year-old girl as his instrument, through whom everyone belonging to our fathering, and having any sin or burden of conscience, had it revealed to the gathering. Nobody could remain in the meeting with any burden of conscience without it being revealed to the meeting by this spirit. #RandolphHarris 3 of 20

To further highlight this illustration: a gentleman of esteem and respect from the neighbourhood came to the meeting, and all his sins were exposed in the presence of the gathering by the fifteen-year-old girl. Thereupon he took me into an adjoining room, so broke down, and admitted to me, with tears, that he had committed all these sins which the girl had exposed. He confessed this and all other sins known to him. Then he came again into the meeting, but hardly had he entered when the same voice said to him, “Ha! you have not confessed all yet; you have stolen ten gulden, that you have not confessed.” In consequence, he took me again into the adjoining room and said, “It is true, I have also done this…” This man had never seen this fifteen-year-old girl in his life, neither she him. With such events, was it astonishing that a spirit of holy awe came over all at the meeting, and there was one controlling note which can only be expressed in the words, “Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? Fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites.” There was a most earnest spirit of adoration, and who could doubt when even the strong were broken down, and nobody dared remain in the meeting if they were a hinderance. And yet we had to unmask this spirit which had brought about these things—and which we took to be the Holy Ghost—as a terrible power of darkness. I had such an uneasy feeling of distrust which could not be overcome…As I made this know for the first time to an older brother and friend…he said, “Brother Winchester, if you continue to foster unbelief, you can commit the sin against the Holy Ghost which will never be forgiven.” #RandolphHarris 4 of 20

These were terrible days and hours for me, because I did not know whether we had to do with the Power of God or a disguised spirit of the ultimate negative, and once thing only was clear to me, that I and this meeting should not let ourselves be led by a spirit when we did not have clear light and confirmation whether this power was from above or below. Thereupon I took the leading brethren and sisters to the uppermost room of the house, and made known to them my position and said we must all cry and pray that we may be able to prove whether it was a power of light or darkness. As we came downstairs the voice of this power said, using the fifteen-year-old girl as his instrument, “What is this rebellion in your midst? You will be sorely punished for your unbelief.” I told this voice that it was true we did not know with whom we had dealings. However, if it was an angel of God, or the Spirit of God, we wanted to be in that attitude that we would not sin against Him, but if it was an ultimate negative, we would not be deceived by him. “If you are the power of God, you will be in accord as we handle the Word of God.” “Try the spirits whether thy be of God.” We all knelt down and cried and prayed to God in such earnestness, that He would have mercy upon us, and reveal to us in some manner whom we had dealings with. #RandolphHarris 5 of 20

Then the power had to reveal itself of its own accord. Through the person which he had been using as his instrument he made such abominable and terrible grimaces, and shrieked in such a piercing tone, “Now I am found out, now I am found out…” There are many good people and organizations in the World that are trying to meet the pressing needs of the less affluent and those who have not, everywhere. We are grateful for this, but the Lord’s way of caring for the less affluent is different from the World’s way. The Lord has said, “It must needs be done in mine own way.” He is not only interested in our immediate needs; He is also concerned about our eternal progression. For this reason, the Lord’s way has always included self-reliance and service to our neighbour in addition to caring for the less affluent. This very hour there are many members of the Church who are suffering. They are hungry, stretched financially, and struggling with all manner of physical, emotional, and spiritual distress. They pray with all the energy of their souls for succor, for relief. Brethren, please do not think that this is someone else’s responsibility. It is mine, and it is yours. We are all enlisted. “All” means all—every Aaronic and Melchizedek Priesthood holder, rich and poor, in every nation. In the Lord’s plan, there is something everyone can contribute. The lesson we learn generation after generation is that rich and poor are all under the same scared obligation to help their neighbour. It will take all of us working together to successfully apply the principles of welfare and self-reliance. #RandolphHarris 6 of 20

Not only are teachers more rare, but the most sensitive seekers feel shyly inhibited from approaching them. Statistical studies of psychotherapy consistently report that about two thirds of neurotic patients are improved immediately after treatment, regardless of the type of psychotherapy they have received, and the same improvement rate has been found for patients who have not received any treatment that was deliberately psychotherapeutic. It has been suggested that some sort of “systematic ideology” may be an essential element in successful therapy: Whether the therapist talks in terms of psychoanalysis or Christian Science is from this point of view relatively unimportant as compared with the formal consistency with which the doctrine employed is adhered to, for by virtue of this consistency the patient receives a schema for achieving some sort and degree of personality organization. In essence, psychotherapy is conversation with therapeutic intent. As conversation it entails all of the modes of communication (some facilitant and some deterrent) that are active whenever two persons speak to one another. Language carries the major mediational load and is the primary transmitter of communication in conversation. We have long been aware of the distinction between connotative and denotative language—words have “agreed upon” meaning as specified by the dictionary, but they also have more or less individualistic meanings for each person who uses them. If it were humanly possible for persons to restrict their language to purely denotative words, communication would be easier (simple and more accurate); it is not. #RandolphHarris 7 of 20

While members of a culture may share the same official dictionary, they naturally do not share in identical personal experiences whereby words acquire the personal connotations that individuals unconsciously seek to use in their conversations. Some words make for better communication because they have a scientifically precise definition, or in the nature of things to which they refer there is a limited range of possible connotations; other words tend to contribute a lot of “static” to communication because they do not permit of objective definition but rather represent certain personal meanings of high frequency in a particular group of persons. Th following lists will suggest this aspect of communication problem. More Denotative Words: Inch, minute, black, round, north. More Connotative Words: Good, strong, liberal, pretty, smart. This is only one of the problem areas receiving intensive investigation in the rapidly evolving technical fields known as psycholinguistics and communication theory. Man has long been aware that his oral communications are neither given nor received purely in terms of the words spoken (and their explicit or implicit meanings) but that additional and particular meanings are communicated by the general contextual communication is undoubtedly the facial expression of the conversants. The particular meaning of a word is frequently signaled by a frown or a smile or a grimace. And responses to questions or assertions may be wordlessly communicated by a nod, by a smile, by “silence freighted with meaning.” #RandolphHarris 8 of 20

When communication is emotionally charged, when the topic of conversation is loaded with emotional “meanings” as is frequently the case in psychotherapy, it is imperative that the therapist be skilled in receiving (and sending?) wordless messages or words whose meaning has been silently labeled by the emotional attitude of the sender. In accepting candidates for advanced training in the specialty of psychotherapy, it is generally true that considerable emphasis is given to intellectual ability, with applicants of every superior general intelligence being preferred. There is little in the nature of substantive information or treatment technique to be learned that justifies such emphasis. However, sensitivity to the subtle aspects of the wordless communications in psychotherapy is a most important dimension of therapeutic skill. This skill is not too readily learned but rather reflects native or very early acquired aptitudes that are highly correlated with general intelligence. And a high level of general intelligence is required to meet the scholastic requirements (many of them irrelevant to psychotherapy) that loom large in the formal education of the physician, psychologist, and social worker. This nonlinguistic aspect of oral communication is a difficult area for research but it is part of the total domain of psycholinguistics. Any general theory of communication must and will encompass the conversations of psychotherapy and, as a general theory, the researches generated by it must inevitably show those particulars of the communication process which are common to all such conversations. #RandolphHarris 9 of 20

Thus, the essentials of the communication process are identical regardless of the school of psychotherapy under whose aegis a particular therapeutic conversation is being conducted. The participants do not have access to special communication media beyond those of any other conversation—they are limited to words and sentences, to assertions and questions, to the silent “labels” of smiles and frowns, tics and tears, and to silences. Within the frame of the communality of the communication process which is shared by all approaches to psychotherapy is a particular common factor—the therapist. Regardless of his theoretical allegiance, the therapist is an expert conversationalist whose specialized equipment include: sensitivity to the emotional nuances of the patient’s communication, an ability to listen selectively, facility in encouraging the patient to start and continue conversations, deftness in leading the patient to particular topics, capacity both to tolerate the patient’s silences and to use his own silence in communication. These are basic common skills of all expert psychotherapists, contributing to their capacity to establish and maintain communication. The presence of these skills in high degree is, unfortunately, not necessarily correlated with the achievement of a valid understanding of the patient (a common goal of most schools) nor with achievement of successful treatment (the ultimate goal of all schools). #RandolphHarris 10 of 20

Closely related to the liberation of energies, the lifting of a repression frees the way for action. As long as a striving or feeling is repressed the person is caught in a blind alley. As long as he is entirely unaware of a hostility to others, for example, and knowns only that he feels awkward with people, he is helpless to do anything about his hostility; there is no possibility of understanding the reasons for it or of discovering when it is justified or of diminishing or removing it. However, if the pression is lifted and he feels the hostility as such, then and only then can he take a good look t it and proceed to discover the vulnerable spots in himself which produced it and to which he has been as blind as to the hostility itself. By thus opening up the possibility of eventually changing something about the disturbing factors, the insight is likely to produce considerable relief. Even if immediate change is difficult, there is the vision of a future way out of the distress. This holds true even though the initial reaction may be one of hurt or fright. If you remember or cast study on Clare, well, her insight into the fact that she had excessive wishes and demands for herself provoked a panic in her at first, because it shook the compulsive modesty which was one of the pillars supporting her feeling of security. However, as son as the acute anxiety subsided it gave her relief, for it represented the possibility of a liberation from the shackles that had tied her hand and foot. However, the first reaction to an insight may be one of pain rather than relief. #RandolphHarris 11 of 20

There are two principal kinds of negative responses to an insight. One is to feel it only as a threat; the other is to react in discouragement and hopelessness. Different though they appear, these two responses are essentially merely variations in degree. They are both determined by the fact that the person is not, or not yet, able and willing to give up certain fundamental claims on life. Which claims they are depends of course, on his neurotic trends. It is because of the compulsive nature of these trends that the claims are so rigid and so hard to relinquish. One who is obsessed by a craving for power, for instance, can do without comfort, pleasure, women, friends, everything that usually makes life desirable, but power he must have. As long as he is determined not to relinquish this claim, any questioning of its value can only irritate or frighten him. Such fright reactions are produced not only by insights disproving the feasibility of his particular striving but also by those revealing that its pursuit prevents him from attaining other objectives that are also important to him, or from overcoming painful disabilities and sufferings. Or, to take other examples, one who suffers from his isolation and his awkwardness in contacts with others, but is still basically unwilling to leave his ivory tower, must react with anxiety to any insight showing him that he cannot possibly attain the one objective—less isolation—without abandoning the other—his ivory tower. As long as a person basically refuses to relinquish his compulsive belief that he can master life through the sheer force of his will, any insight indicating the fictitious nature of that belief must arouse anxiety, because it makes him feel as if the ground on which he stands is pulled away from under him. #RandolphHarris 12 of 20

If he wants to become free, the anxiety produced by such insights is the person’s response to a dawning vision that he must eventually change something in his foundations. However, the factors that must be changed are still deeply entrenched, are still vitally important to him as a means of coping with himself and others. He is therefore afraid to change, and the insight produces not relief but panic. And if he feels deep down that such a change, though indispensable for his liberation, is entirely out of the question, he will react with a feeling of hopelessness rather than fright. In his conscious mind this feeling is often overshadowed by a deep anger toward the analyst. When he cannot do anything about them anyhow, he feels that the analyst is being pointlessly cruel in leading him to such insights. If they do not ultimately serve some purpose we affirm, this reaction is understandable because none of us is willing to endure hurts and hardships. A negative reaction to an insight is not necessarily the last word in the matter. Sometimes, in fact, it is of relatively short duration and quickly changes to relief. The factors that determine whether a person’s attitude toward a particular insight can change through further psychoanalytic work require that the change is within the range of possibility. Brainwashing—a scary word. No one wants to believe that they could be brainwashed, but it happens. It happens more than you ever know. Brainwashing is known by other names too—mind abuse, coercive persuasion, and thought control. What happens, is a person or even a group of people use systematic methods to get the victim to bend or conform to things they would not conform to otherwise. Think about members of a cult. #RandolphHarris 13 of 20

That is scary, but even scarier is the fact that advertisers have learned these dark techniques and use them regularly on the unsuspecting public. By controlling the physical and social environment, an attempt is made to destroy loyalties to any unfavourable groups or individuals, to demonstrate to the individual that his attitudes and patterns of thinking are incorrect and must be changes, and to develop loyalty and unquestioning obedience to the ruling party. The term is most appropriately used in reference to a program of political or religious indoctrination or ideological remolding. The techniques of brainwashing typically involve isolation from former associates and sources of information; and exacting regimen requiring absolute obedience and humility; strong social pressures and rewards for cooperation; physical and psychological punishments for non-cooper ranging from social ostracism and criticism, deprivation of food, seep, and social contact, to bondage and torture; and continual reinforcement. Furthermore, currently we do know for sure that our brain processes result from the interactions of different factors: genetics (for small part), experience and thus learning, as well as triggers deriving from internal and external environments. Without the constant relationships with the context, we could not exist. The complete absence of context is “impossible.” Every kind of triggers and stimuli leaves traces in our brain that, if beneficial, may become good incentives or memories somehow comforting us in bad days, but if negative, may represent a sort of “wound” that might lead to a permanent “scar.” #RandolphHarris 14 of 20

In both cases there are new fingerprints in the brain that continuously changes and remodels itself through neuroplasticity, that is one of its most peculiar functions permitting neuronal development, growth, repair and survival. Perhaps, while trying to answer the question of being or not being free, we could say that we are slavers of the dynamic activity of the brain working in the range of milliseconds, the so-called connectome that modifies functions through neuroplasticity, just to simply explain the complexity of these processes. People often persuade people that they need particular foods or products because they are good for them and will help them achieve goals that they want so people start to associate these items with their desires and consumer them. When people ask too many questions, like a series of questions, but are not having a conversation, that is an indication that they are up to something. It is also possible to use fear to control people and get them to do things that they would not do. These methods have been used to get people to commit suicide or jump out of buildings, when they were not actually in any danger. However, because individuals are naïve, or unaware, psychopathological offenders know that it is easy to use fear to manipulate individuals. Some may even use anger to try to control an individual, and make them do something they had not intended to do. A girl pushed her sister down the stairs and she died. However, she blamed in on her young brother and everyone believed that he was guilty. #RandolphHarris 15 of 20

Why did everyone believe the little brother was the guilty party? Well, when he was born, doctors discovered he had an extra Y chromosome (XYY). They told his parents that this was a killer gene because it makes men more aggressive. As a result, his father and mother called him a freak and just knew that he was going to grow up and be a killer. So, when his sister killed the other sister, they knew without a shadow of a doubt that he was guilty. However, he was innocent. Because he was blamed and sent to juvenile hall, when he got out, he fulfilled a self-fulfilling prophecy and because a kill. However, in the process, his sister also became a series killer because she was able to get away with murder at a young age. Had the boy not been stigmatized, and people listened to him, they could have got his sister the help she needed to become a well-rounded adult. Later research indicated that having an extra Y chromosome does not necessarily make someone more aggressive. So because this boy was stigmatized and framed, countless lives were ruined. Sometimes this kind of stigmatization is done intentionally so doctors can create a case study to back up their junk science. Isolation is also another way of brainwashing an individual. Psychopathological offenders like to isolate youth and convince them of certain things that are not true so these individuals grow up disoriented and disturbed, it is a method of control. For instance, if you can isolate someone in a community where everyone they come into contact with is crazy, incompetent, violent, and a criminal, they may believe that is how the World really is. However, there are some good people out there. #RandolphHarris 16 of 20

Awareness of what is good and evil is different from theoretical knowledge of what is called good and evil in most moral systems. To know on the authority of tradition that love, independence, and courage are good and that hate, submission, and cowardice are bad means little, as the knowledge is alienated knowledge learned from authorities, conventional teaching, etcetera, and is believed to be true only because it comes from these sources. Awareness means that the person makes that which he learns his own way, by experiencing it, experimenting with himself, observing others and, eventually, gaining a conviction rather than having an irresponsible “opinion.” However, deciding on the general principles is not enough. Beyond this awareness one needs to be aware of the balance of forces within oneself, and the rationalizations which hide the unconscious forces. Let us take a specific example: A man is greatly attracted by a woman and experiences a strong wish to have pleasures of the flesh with her. He thinks consciously that he has this wish because she is so beautiful, or so understanding, or so in need of being loved, or that he is so sexually starved, or so in need of affection, or so lonely, or…He maybe aware that by having an affair with her he might mess up both their lives; that she is frightened and seeking for protective strength, and hence will not easily let him go. In spite of knowing all this he goes ahead and has an affair with her. Why? Because he is aware of his desire but not of the forces underling it. What could these forces be? The forces are his vanity and narcissism. #RandolphHarris 17 of 20

If he has set his mind on the conquest of this young lady as a proof of his attractiveness and value, he will usually not be aware of this real motive. He will fall for all the rationalizations mentioned above, and many more, and thus act according to this true motive precisely because he cannot see it, and is under the illusion that he is acting according to other more reasonable motives. The next step of awareness is that of the full awareness of the consequences of his act. At the moment of decision his mind is filled with desires and soothing rationalization. If he could clearly see the consequences of his act; if he could see, for instance, a long-protracted, insincere love affair, his getting tried of her because his narcissism can be satisfied only by fresh conquests, yet his continuing to make false promises because he feels guilty and afraid of admitting that he never really loved her, the paralyzing and weakening effect of this conflict on him and on her, etcetera, his decision, however, might be different. However, even awareness of the underlying, real motivations and of the consequences is not enough to increase the inclination for the right decision. Another important awareness is necessary: that of when the real choice is made, and to be aware of what the real possibilities are between which a person can choose. Assume he is aware of all motivations and of all consequences; assume he has “decided” not to go to be with this woman. He then takes her out to a show and before taking her home he suggests, “Let’s have a drink together.” On the face of it this sounds harmless enough. #RandolphHarris 18 of 20

There seems to be nothing wrong in having a drink together; in fact, if the balance of forces were not already so delicate, there would be nothing wrong. If at the moment he could be aware of what “having a drink together” will lead to, he might not ask her. He would see that the atmosphere will be romantic, that the drink will weaken his willpower, that he will not be able to resist the next step of dropping into her apartment for another drink, and that almost certainly he will find himself enjoying pleasures of the flesh with her. With full awareness he would be able to foresee the sequence as being almost unavoidable, and if he could foresee it, he could refrain from “having a drink together.” However, since his desire makes him blind to seeing the necessary sequence, he does not make the right choice when he still would have the possibility of doing so. In other words, the real choice here is made when he invites her to have a drink (or perhaps when he asked her to the show) and not when he starts enjoying pleasures of the flesh with her. At least point of the chain of decision he is no longer free; at an earlier point he might have been free had he been aware that the real decision was to be made right there and then. The argument for the view that man has no freedom to choose the better as against the worse is to some considerable extent based on the fact that one looks usually at the last decision in a chain of events, and not at the first or second ones. Indeed, at the point of final decision the freedom to choose has usually vanished. #RandolphHarris 19 of 20

However, the freedom to choose may still have been there at an earlier point when the person was not yet so deeply caught in his own passions. One might generalize by saying that one of the reasons why most people fail in their lives is precisely because they are not aware of the point when they are still free to act according to reason, and because they are aware of the choice only at the point when it is too late for them to make a decision. 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. The thoughtless person passing a fire engine house and seeing the men and women sitting around or amusing themselves with games or sports sometimes conclude that the firefighter has an easy life, but a little reflection brings the conviction that they are under a watchful, waiting strain. With long hours, deprived of many of the pleasures of family life, the gong may at any moment send them to battle with the flames for days and nights without sleep or as long as human endurance permits. And the gong may also send them to their deaths. The firefight leads a strenuous life and faces death frequently. However, the victories of peace achieved by firefighters are their own best reward, though they should have a full mead of appreciation and support from the public they serve fearlessly, loyally, faithfully. Therefore be sure to open up your hearts to the Sacramento Fire Department and make a donation to ensure that they have support from the community and the resources they need to continue saying lives and property. #RandolphHarris 20 of 20

The Winchester Mystery House

After Mrs. Winchester died in 1922, construction ceased. Carpenter left their tools and immediately stopped all work. The furniture was moved out of the home and auctioned off. It took six moving trucks, six weeks to empty her house of all the furniture. Although the house was empty, it did not seem to be. A caretaker had been closing the house one evening when he became aware of a sound issuing from somewhere inside of the house that was very much like the sawing of wood. Then other noises began to accompany this sound—among them knocking and hammering and planning. It was as if half a dozen carpenters were in busy employment. The caretaker was of a bold disposition and, wishing to discover more, took off his shoes, and quietly descended the stairs with a flashlight in his hand. The noises of work continued as he came down into the hallway; but then, when he unlatched the door and went into the parlour, all was silent and still. None of the tools had been touched. None of the wood had been moved. Having examined every part of the room, he began to doubt the evidence of his sense in this matter. However, after he was leaving the house, the noises of sawing and hammering began again and continued for approximately half an hour. When they ceased, he went home. He had decided to tell no one about his experience, but, instead, to listen the next day for any unusual sounds. On the following day they began again, just as before. So he confided in the board of trustees, and a few of them agreed to watch with him on the next day. The noises commenced once more but, instead of entering the parlour, many of them rushed horrified out of the house. A few months later, the haunted house was opened as a tourist attraction.
