INTRODUCTION
"When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they
will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle."
Edmund Burke, 1729-1797
Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents [Apr.23, 1770]
WAR OF THE PARADIGMS
Our Nation, our world, is experiencing a massive paradigm shift at the present time. Its effects are, perhaps, most noticeable in the realm of economics and, of course, the subsequent effects upon the relationships between men and women, and thus the family, the community, the nation, etc. We are being subjected to a cause and effect stratagem which reveals itself in a nonlinear or sequential and progressive, "domino-like", series of eventualities or results which have a design and a purpose behind them. It’s source and it’s aim, though hidden from our view, become self-evident as we study our history as it "actually" occurred.
Most human beings, men and women alike, are not aware that this is occurring in their lives because they are not able to discern it. The required faculties of discernment have, for the most part, been "conditioned" out of them. They have been educated (or perhaps "trained" is a more correct term) into a mental state where they are perceptually impeded. They do not realize that "psychological war" has been declared on them. They are not yet aware that the financial difficulties which are rapidly overtaking them are the result of carefully orchestrated causes intended to introduce stress into their lives by means of "Keynesian" type (government controlled) economic stimuli. John Maynard Keynes introduced an economic principle and certain related experimental programs in the early 1930's, during the Roosevelt Administration, that have changed the face of world economics and at the same time become one of the newest, most effective and bloodless "invasion and conquest" strategies ever imposed on mankind in the history of our world.
We do, however, see numerous small-scale "controlled-wars" continuously brewing that keep our attention focussed on the erroneous belief that conventional violence and destruction are the only means by which wars are fought and won. Yet, meanwhile, another unimaginably expansive war on our senses is being waged all around us with the objective of gaining control of our minds and our lives, and we are, for the most part, oblivious to the fact that it is happening.
The strategies being engaged in this are extensive and so unique as to go beyond the ken of normal imagination, but the fact of it’s existence and influence is well established and can be readily revealed to the mind that is not subject to denial and is willing to take responsibility for itself and its "host".
It is not my purpose in this writing to reveal the details of this cunning "strategy" or to prove the fact of this "undeclared war." This writer has authored a daring and apocalyptic book titled BEYOND OUR CONSENT: A HISTORY OF SECRET POWER, DECEPTION AND ABANDONMENT OF FREEDOM IN AMERICA, which will leave the reader stunned with the certainty that things in the world which we live are not as they seem, but also with a sense of assured salvation, which can only be realized when truth is recognized as our only hope.
It is my purpose here to first explain the intended use of the term paradigm with respect to the message the writer is endeavoring to convey. We then will address the readily observable effects, we have been discussing upon the relationships between men and women, and their causes which are not so readily discernable but become more clearly perceivable as we examine them.
Like the terms quality, values, freedom and consciousness, the term paradigm can offer differing interpretations to a reader which will depend upon their understanding of the term and also upon the writer's intended usage. It is therefore felt that some clarification is due before we proceed. The term paradigm conveys a wealth of meaning when properly understood in the context it is used, but it can also easily fall prey to "trendy" word games when bandied about in pseudo-intellectual circles. To help avoid such a misunderstanding regarding its present usage the writer has chosen several sources from which to define his intended use and bring the reader to an understanding of the context in which it should be understood.
The word paradigm comes form the Greek root, "paradeigma," which means "model or pattern." (Webster's). In his book POWERS OF THE MIND, Adam Smith, defines a paradigm as "a shared set of assumptions". He goes on to say: "The paradigm is the way we perceive the world; water to the fish." "When we are in the middle of a paradigm, it is hard to imagine any other paradigm." "The paradigm explains the world to us and helps us to predict its behavior." We are embraced in life by paradigms.
In another book, DISCOVERING THE FUTURE: THE BUSINESS OF PARADIGMS, Futurist, Joel Barker defines a paradigm as "any set of rules or regulations that describes boundaries and tells us what to do to be successful within those boundaries." While we are in a paradigm we take it's rules and boundaries for granted. It is what we call "reality". It is like wearing color-tinted glasses, our paradigm tinges or influences our perceptions of life.
Werner Erhard, creator of THE FORUM, informs us: "Most of our notions about the world come from a set of assumptions which we take for granted, and which, for the most part, we don't examine or question. We bring these assumptions to the table with us as a given. They are so much a part of who we are that it is difficult for us to be able to talk about them. We do not think these assumptions, we think from them." (author's emphasis) In short, a paradigm is whatever conditions and perceptions we have come to accept as "reality." It may be founded in truth or in deception, so beware!!!
Finally, we turn to the introduction of a fascinating little book, the KHABORIS MANUSCRIPT (previously published under the title of ENLIGHTENMENT), by the Yonan Codex Foundation. In this text we find selected passages from an ancient Siriac "New Testament" scribed in Aramaic, the language of Jesus of Nazareth. Here we also find the statement that "the Aramaic language comprehends psychology so completely, it utilizes a syntax which portrays the working relationship between mind-sets, perception, mind structures, reason, judgement, entities of mind, human attitudes, and human behavior."
To more fully grasp what a paradigm is then, we must have a fairly clear understanding of the nature of language. The scholars at the Yonan Codex Foundation tell us: "A language is first spoken before it is written, so that any language may be summarized as an organized grouping of sounds which permit thought transference between minds. Thus a language is, among other functions, a vehicle for transporting the thoughts and concepts in one mind to another. From psychological studies of the mind, we find that the human mind is peculiarly adept in organizing complex thoughts or concepts so that they are keyed or cued by a particular sound, visual or other sensory symbol." (This is true with a singular cipher, a word or a completed idea.) "Perception of visual or auditory symbols to which thoughts or concepts have been keyed in a given mind causes that mind to perceive these thoughts or concepts, if the mind-set or attitude is proper."
This was well known to those who spoke and wrote the Aramaic language and especially to Jesus, who spoke in Aramaic parables (paradigms) that still influence the lives of humanity to this day. A paradigm, or mind-set, does not include reasoning, judgement or action which result from a properly educated rational mind. It becomes clear now that paradigms, to which we are all subject, influence all we perceive, discover and do. We should also be aware that some paradigms are less desirable and real than others and it is our own responsibility to exercise discernment and extricate ourselves from the hold they have upon our minds when they are, perhaps, detrimental to our well-being.
As stated before, it is the purpose of this introduction and the following text, authored by this writer, to assist the reader in recognizing what may have a hold upon their mind and accomplishing a means of extricating their mind from it. We are especially concerned here with addressing the readily observable effects such a paradigm is having upon the basic unit, that is, relationships between men and women, and also identifying the strategy (cause) behind it.
It is hoped that once it is perceived how this "basic unit" is effected by "Keynesian" (surreptitiously) introduced economic stresses, it will be more easily seen for oneself how these extenuating circumstances inevitably effect our family unit, our community, our society, etc., in a "nonlinear", domino-like fashion.
Let us first, however, create an analogy which explains, what a "nonlinear" effect actually is. (Small input, large output.) For simplicities sake, let us imagine a prodigious row of dominos lined up in proverbial fashion from Moscow, in Russia, to the "State of New Columbia" (Washington, D.C.). To grasp the "nonlinear" aspect of this analogy, we must also imagine that each successive domino, in this line of progression is being increased in size by approximately one-tenth of one percent more than its predecessor. Then let us suppose that it requires about five grams of pressure to topple the first domino and launch this immense cascade of gradually increasing potential. Just imagine the amount of energy that is released by the time the last domino in the "State of New Columbia" (Washington, D.C.), which at this point, perhaps, may be twice the height of the Washington Monument, is collapsed. Anyone can see that this small amount of input at the "causative" end will result in rather devastating "effects" at the receiving end.
By analogy, this is the very problem which is presently collapsing our "society". Our Machiavellian governments vainly attempt to control the contrived "effects" which are set in motion ("caused") by it's own crafty agents inventing and enforcing laws and legislation that are designed to restrain, or contain, the "effect" end of the process, when in fact, the actual problem exists at the "causative" or beginning end of the process. We should now begin to see more clearly that this is nought but political diversion.
History has shown us repeatedly that governments do not regulate themselves, but rather, those they feign to serve. Thus, it would stand to reason that if we are to avoid becoming a totalitarian, "Fascist-Type", state we must rely upon ourselves, our own individual initiative, faculties of self-discipline resources at hand, and not our government's perennial mis-direction and imposition of more and more coercive regulations and laws.
This writer realizes that the ensuing discourse will possibly have become incomprehensible to those who are in a mental state of denial or unable to take a responsible position with regard to reality in their lives. To these lost and unfortunate souls I extend my heartfelt sympathies.
There are, however, another breed of Americans, and other Citizens of the World, rapidly emerging on the scene as their awareness increases and, fortunately, they are individually stronger and more effective than a hundred, even a thousand, of those who remain "lost in the fog of denial", as it were. These individuals are men and women who have recognized the real enemy in their midst. Under the threat of painful consequences, they have dared to remove their tinted spectacles and discovered that, lo, it is NOT an "Emerald City" that they reside in after all. They are not constrained by the conventions and delusions that drain and obstruct natural human growth and flowering within the ever weakening fabric of falsely imposed orthodoxy, and the unfortunate relationships governed by such.
