Lord Metroid @ Freedomradio.com forum -- priceless! ;D

<Lord Metroid> So if I refuses to play along, I will get shot?
<Random guy> no
<Lord Metroid> No, how come?
I totally refuse, I am not going to play their game
I can just live my life?
<Random guy> depends on how you refuse i guess
if you can get food etc by not earning money, then do that if you want
<Lord Metroid> Why would I need to do that?
<Random guy> because we live in a community, and what you do effects everybody else
<Lord Metroid> It does?
<Random guy> if noone paid taxes, there wouldnt be a state
<Lord Metroid> Well that wouldn't be true now would it... There would still be the same people available.
And you just said that the people that legislate, politicans and administrators are the state... A little bit odd as I thought they was the group one calls the government
But the more pressing question is how can one do good excersisng violence against people's will?
Let's say you went to your neighbour with a gun and demanded him to give you money because you need food...
Would that be okay?
<Random guy> the world isnt perfect, and some violence probably will allways necesary
<Lord Metroid> That wasn't what I asked for...
<Random guy> no, bacause the state is the only one who can use violence, exept in self-defence etc
<Lord Metroid> Of course it isn't right, only a sociopath would do that...
<Random guy> doing good might involve doing a little bad sometimes

"The real moment of truth so to speak, which occurs when somebody is confronted with an error, is how do you respond to that?
"How do you respond when somebody points out an error? Do you get angry at them? Do you get frustrated? Do you change your story? Do you imply that they just don't understand? Do you change the topic? Do you ignore what they say?**
"Do you do all of these slippery, sleazy, dishonorable, eely kind of things?

"It's really a moment of truth; that's where your future life really hangs in the balance. It's not any curse of mine or anything, it's just the nature of reality that, if you in that moment this is where you get to be a grown up and to deal with error in a mature and reponsible manner, or you stay a spiteful child and error becomes your home...
"When somebody calls you on something and I know it's horrible, and I know that it's really hard and I know it feels like abusive…how you react in that moment, if you've been bullshitting, is so essential. I can't even tell you how essential this is. This really is the choice between the false self and the true self."

--Stefan Molyneux. Podcast.

Dissociation is a state of acute mental decompensation in which certain thoughts, emotions, sensations, and/or memories are compartmentalized because they are too overwhelming for the conscious mind to integrate. This subconscious strategy for managing powerful negative emotions is sometimes referred to as "splitting", as these thoughts, emotions, sensations, and/or memories are "split off" from the integrated ego.

Individuals most likely to develop (DID) MPD present several factors in a common profile. They have endured repetitive, overwhelming, and often life-threatening trauma at a sensitive developmental stage of childhood (usually before the age of nine), and they amy possess a biological predisposition for auto-hypnotic phenomena (a high level of hypnotizablitiy). (DID) MPD is often referred to as a highly creative survival technique, because it allows individuals enduring 'hopeless' circumstances to preserve some areas of healthy functioning.

Marcelle,

I think you miss my point. It is not about how beautifully written the passage is, but about the very concept of "treating" "DID/MPD".

I find it surprising that people still do not know that the elicitation of the information/diagnosis of DID/MPD is the very thing that installs it as a strategy in the client.

DID/MPD is an iatrogenic syndrome, that is induced by the therapists, the same therapists that are trying to cure it. Which is paradoxical, to say the least.

Once children [are taught] that morality is conformity with the will of those in authority, this allegiance is easily transferred to the State through the public school system.

And then, when some libertarian comes along, equating the State with evil, unconscious defenses rear their ugly heads, since what is really happening is that the original and irrational authority of the parents is being questioned. This is why people react to arguments about the immorality of the State as if you were waving a hot poker in their face.

As my wife said, "It's not about the state. It all starts with the family.”

If we understand the emotional and personal sensitivity of these issues for others, we can design our conversation to get to the real root of the issues, rather than dealing with the mere symptoms, and focus on personal freedom first.

Actually, an inability to understand how the world would work without government shows an inability to understand how it works right now.

sun’s out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed
only if there is light within.” - Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

When I despair, I remember that all through history, the way of truth and love has always won.

There have been murderers and tyrants, and for a time they can seem invincible.

But in the end they always fall. Think of it, always.

- Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

And no man can be happy when his thoughts and behavior are being subliminally manipulated by a decadent technocratic elite bent on programming him as if it were a mere machine. Their creation is not a happy or free man inhabiting a secure Utopia. He is the addicted victim suffering psychic and emotional impotency and enmeshed in guilt and conflict as a result of it. His inner life is a miasma of unfulfilled desires and mis-placed allegiances.

He is under the "Hex." Once the connection and rapport with the inner self is occluded, we become slaves of external approval and security. Consequently, those who command our adoration must be like ourselves, or be those who appear to possess a greater abundance of those chimeras which we believe to be of value. Western man has replaced life with lifestyle, and continues to award himself, and those he gives birth to, for knowing, as speedily and vacantly as possible, everything there is to know about everyone and everything else in the world, other than the Self.

He sees but rarely observes. He thinks, but rarely with his own mind, and rarely about his own moral and psychological welfare. He fights and dies for the preservation and sovereignty of friends, family, countries, states and ideals, but is estranged from himself, and bereft of personal psychic sovereignty and emotional immunity.

"As long as the child will be trained not by love, but by fear, so long will humanity live not by justice, but by force. As long as the child will be ruled by the educator’s threat and by the father’s rod, so long will mankind be dominated by the policeman’s club, by fear of jail, and by panic of invasion by armies and navies.”

--Boris Sidis, from “A lecture on the abuse of the fear instinct in early education” in Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1919."

*amazing (and staggering) reading; highly recommended, particularly the spanking = sexual abuse/arousal
[interesting to parallel with the "the virus of faith" thread on this forum, along the lines of "U.S. = Christian nation = spare the rod, spoil the child = obey the government/fear the government = fear God", no?!]

"Do not confuse truth with familiarity. It is not easy to dislodge ideas which have been taught to us by our parents, by pastors, and by our friends. Repetition and time tend to encrust ideas on our minds as truth even when they have no basis in truth."

"When the media accepts the government's line, without verification, it only serves to aid deception and misinformation."

"Have whatever reality you want. Think you're santa claus. Great! Run with it. Don't pick up a gun to get your kids to believe it, don't pick up a gun to get your neighbors to believe it, and don't pick up a gun to get your neighbors to pay for your delusion. Just take your delusion and run with it."
