Saving lives, by redefining death : Comments

By Jonathan J. Ariel, published 9/10/2013

The Dead Donor Rule impedes the ability to harvest organs by defining death too narrowly, robbing some patients of their wishes to donate viable organs.

words..from..jesus[..from..acim]

Together..we can..then work
for..the real time.of peace,..which is Eternal.

“Every..shut eye..is not..asleep.”

Freud’s..identification..of mechanisms..was quite correct,
as..was his recognition of..their creative ability...They can..INDEED create man’s..perception,..both of himself..and his surroundings.

But..Freud’s limitations..*induced..inevitable limits.on his own perception...He made..two kinds of errors.

The first..is that he saw...*how..the mechanisms..worked..
but..only..in the mentally ill...The second..is his own denial..of the mechanism..of the Atonement.

Let us..take up..the first,..because..
a clear understanding..of the..second..depends on it.
Denial..should be directed..only to error,..and projection..should be limited to..truth.

You..should truly give..*as you..have truly..received.
The..Golden Rule..can work..effectively..only on this basis.

Intellectualization..stems from..the brain-mind confusion...“Right-
Mindedness”..is better...This device..defends the RIGHT MIND,..and gives it..control over..the body.

“Intellectualization”..implies a split,
whereas..“Right-Mindedness”..involves healing.

Withdrawal..is properly employed..in the service
of..withdrawing..from the desert...It is..*NOT..a device for escape, but..for consolidation...There IS..only One Mind.

Dissociation..is quite similar...You should
split yourself off..from error,..but only in..defense..of integration.

Detachment..is essentially..a weaker form..of dissociation.
This is..one of the major/areas..of withholding..that..Flight can be undertaken..in whatever direction..you choose,..but note..that the concept/itself..implies flight..*FROM something.

Flight..from error..is perfectly appropriate.
Distantiation..is a way of..putting distance..between yourself and what..you SHOULD..fly from...Regression..is a real effort..to return to..your own original state...In this sense,..it is/utilized to RESTORE,..not to go back to..the lesser mature.

Sublimation..should be associated..with the SUBLIME.
There are many..other so-called..“dynamic”..concepts..which are profound/errors ..due..essentially to..the misuse of defenses...Among them..is the concept..of different levels.of..aspiration,..which results from..reality-level.confusion.

However,..the main-point..to be..understood..from these notes..is that you can..defend/truth..as-well-as..error,*and in fact,..much better.

So far..we have concentrated..on ends..
that..unless..you regard..an end..as worth achieving,..you..will not devote..yourself..to the means..by which..it can BE..achieved...Your own question..*enabled me..to shift..the /emphasis..from end..to means.

(Question..asked..was
“how..can we incorporate..this material?”)
HAVING accepted..the end..as valuable,..we..thus signify..our willingness..to..use defenses..to..ensure it...The means..are easier to clarify..after/the..true worth..of the goal..itself..is firmly established.

Everyone..defends..his own..treasure.
You...do not..have to tell him..to do this,..because..HE will do so automatically...The..real question..still remains..*WHAT do you treasure,..and..HOW MUCH..do you treasure..it?

Once you learn..to consider..these two points,..and..bring them..into..ALL your actions/as..the true criteria \]..for behavior, I will/have..little difficulty..in clarifying..the means...You
have not..learned to be..consistent..about this..as yet...I have therefore concentrated..on showing you..that the means..ARE available whenever*..you DO ask.

You..can save..a lot of time,..however,
if..you do..*not need..to extend this step..unduly...The correct focus..will shorten it..immeasurably.

Papers..will be..very easy..to write..as..this time..is shortened.

there are other ways..of saving lives
by increasing quality..of life
or the will to live..or by..respecting..others rights to live

trouble being..the elite need your organs
money is no object..and we got plenty..of../'useless eaters'

,mean-while..they dont need us all..j
just a few numbed down landless serfs..
[good commies/party loyalists..]good for amusement/service..and building their toys..until that day..they..know too muvh.

[lest we forget....the jews
were only going to..the showers

recall obeying unlawful order./.is no longer a valid defense
besides less of us..means less of you..[watchers]

http://www.stopthecrime.net/

its all just so seriously bent

Very few people..appreciate..the real power of the mind.
Nobody..remains fully aware/of it..all the time.

This is inevitable in this world,..because the human being..has many
things he must do,.and cannot engage..in constant thought-watching. However,..if he/hopes..to spare himself from fear,..there are some things..he must realize,..and realize them..completely/fully,..at least some of the time.

The mind..is a very/powerful creator,..and
it..*never..loses..its creative force...(It never..sleeps../.Every instant..it is creating,..and ALWAYS..EXACTLY..as you will.

Many..of your ordinary..expressions..reflect this.
For example,..when you say..“don’t give it a thought”,.you are
implying ..that..if you..do not think..about something,..it...will have no effect on you.

This is/true enough...for..this excer-size
On..the other hand,..many other..expressive s..are clear expressions of..the prevailing/LACK..of awareness of..our potential/thought-power.

For example,..you say,..“just an idle thought”,..and
mean..that..*the thought..has no effect....You also speak of some actions as..“thoughtless”,..implying..*that if*..the person HAD thought,..he would not.have behaved..as he did.

You also/use..phrases like..“thought provoking”,
which is bland enough,..but the term..“a provoking/thought”..means something quite different...While expressions..like..“think big”..give some..recognition to the power of thought,..they still come..nowhere near..the truth.

You do not.,.expect to grow..when you say it,
because.you don’t*..really believe it...It is/hard..to recognize
that thought..and belief..*combine..into a power-surge.that can/literally..move mountains.

It appears..at first glance..that to believe
such power..about yourself..is merely arrogant,
but..that is not the real..reason why..you don’t believe it...clearly..People..prefer to believe..that their thoughts cannot exert..real control..because..they/are literally AFRAID..of them.

yet..that same..fear..admits
the very vile their..own fear created

Therapists..try to help people..who are afraid..of their own
death wishes..by depreciating..*the power of..the wish...They even attempt..to “free”..the/patient..by persuading him..that he can think whatever..he wants,..*without ANY..*real effect..at all.

There is..a real dilemma..there,..which only
the truly..right-minded..can escape...Death/wishes..do not kill..in the physical sense,..*but they..DO kill spiritually...*ALL destructive
thinking..is dangerous.

Given..a..stayted..death wish,.a man
has.no choice except..to ACT upon his thought,..or..CONSCIOUSLY..chose..behave CONTRARY..to it...

He can thus..choose..*not..ONLY..just..between..homicide
and..fear...(See previous/notes..on will..conflicts]

The other possibility..is that he..depreciates the power..of his thought...This is the/usual psychoanalytic approach...This DOES allay guilt,..but at the cost of..rendering further thinking impotent.

at..the cost of...rendering thinking/impotent...
If you believe..that what you think..is ineffectual,..
you may cease..to be overly..afraid..of it,..but you are..hardly likely..to respect it,..or welcome..it..either.

The world..is full of endless/examples..of how man..has depreciated himself..because he is afraid..of his own thoughts../.In some forms of insanity,..thoughts are glorified,..but this..is only..because the underlying/depreciation..was too effective.for tolerance.

The truth is..that there ARE no..“idle thoughts”..
ALL thinking..produces form*..at some-level...*The reason..why people are afraid..of ESP,..and so often ]\..react against it,..is because
they KNOW*..that thought.can hurt them.

*Their own thoughts..have made them..vulnerable.

You..and B.,..who complain..all the time..about fear,
still persist ..*in creating it*..most of/the time...I told you..last time..that you cannot..ask ME to..release you..from it,..because I
KNOW*..it does not exist...*YOU don’t.*

If..I merely intervene..between
your thoughts..*and..their result,..I would be tampering
with a basic-law..of cause and effect,..in fact..the most/fundamental one..there is..in this world..they KNOW that..*thought..*can hurt them.

*Their..own thoughts..have made them..vulnerable.
You and B.,..who complain..all the time about fear,..still persist in creating it..I would hardly help..if I depreciated..the power of your own thinking...

This..would be/in direct opposition..to the purpose/of..this course.
It is..certainly much more/useful..to remind you..*that you do not guard..your thoughts/at all carefully,..except for..a relatively small part..of the day,..and somewhat inconsistently/even then.

You may feel..at this point..that it would take
a miracle..to enable you..to do this,[which is..perfectly true]. Human beings..*are..*not used to..miraculous thinking,..but they CAN
be TRAINED..to think..that way.

All miracle-workers..HAVE to be trained..that way.
I have to/be..able to count on them...This means..that I cannot allow them..to leave their mind..unguarded,..or they will/not..be able to help.

Miracle-working entails..a full realization..
of the power..of thought, and..real avoidance..of miscreation.[illusion/negative thinking.[lose the fear..lovbe god..by trying..to..love-other]

You..and B...are willing..to accept..primarily
what does NOT change..your minds too/much,..and this..leaves you free to leave..them quite unguarded..most of the time.

You persist..in believing..that when..you do not..*consciously
watch..your mind's..variable..inputs...live-time..in the/living moment..it is..leads..to..non-being..un-mindful...seeing..imagined hearing..[imagined fearing..fear-rearing]

It..is time..to consider..the whole world..
of the unconscious,..or unwatched/un-noted..closed mind...This
will frighten you,..because it is..the..very/source..of fright.

You may look..at it..as a..new theory
of/basic..conflict,..if you wish,..
which..will not..be entirely ..an intellectual approach,..
because I/doubt..if..the truth..of it..will..escape you entirely.

The unwatched mind..is responsible..for the whole content.
of the unconscious,..which..lies above..the miracle-level.

All psychoanalytic theorists..have made some..contribution to
the truth..in this connection,..but none..of them..has seen it..in its true entirety...(The correct/grammar here..is a sign..of your better cooperation...with..the process,..Thank you.)

Jung’s..best contribution..was an awareness
of individual..vs...Collective unconscious/levels.
He also..recognized..the major place..of the religious-spirit..in his schema...His/archetypes..were also..meaningful concepts.

But his..major error lay..in regarding/the deepest
level..of the unconscious..as shared..in terms of CONTENT.
The deepest..level of the/unconscious.is shared as..an ABILITY.

As MIRACLE-MINDEDNESS,..the content,..(or the/particular.miracles which..an individual happens..to perform)..does not matter..at all.
The content..of the miracle-level..is not recorded..in the individual’s..unconscious,..because if it were,..it would..*not be automatic and involuntary,..which we have said/repeatedly it should be.

However,..the content..IS a matter for the record,
which..is NOT..within the individual..himself.

All psychoanalysts..made one common error,..in that
they attempted..to uncover..unconscious CONTENT...You cannot understand.unconscious activity..in these terms,..because “content” is..applicable ONLY to..the more superficial..unconscious levels..to which/..the individual..*himself contributes.

This is the level..at which he..can readily
introduce fear,..and usually does...Freud was right..in calling this level..pre-conscious,..and emphasizing..that there..is a..fairly easy interchange..between preconscious..and conscious material.

He was also..right..in regarding.the censor/as an agent
for..the protection of consciousness..from fear...HIS/major error..lay in his insistence..that this level.is necessary at all..in the psychic-structure.

If the psyche..contains fearful/levels..from which..it
cannot escape..without splitting,..its..integration
is..permanently threatened...It is essential..not
to control..the fearful,..but to ELIMINATE it.

Here,..Rank’s concept[of the will]..was particularly good,
except that..he preferred to..ally it..only with man’s.own truly creative ability,..but..did/not..extend it..to its..proper-union..with God’s.

His..“birth trauma”,..another valid idea,..was also..too limited,
in..that..it did not/refer to..the Separation,..which was really a FALSE/idea..of birth...Physical birth..is not a/trauma.in itself.

It can,..however,..remind..the individual..of the Separation,
which..was a/very real..cause of fear.

The idea..of..“will-THERAPY”..was potentially..a very powerful one,
