Hi Steve,
I know that you are full speed ahead in attempting to bring forward the Neothink Society and the concepts of Miss Annabelle, those that are pertaining to being invigorated in life and looking for the positive in all of life’s possibilities.
I don’t think I even remember Miss Annabelle reciting to her students what they needed to do in order to fullfill thier life’s purpose. Rather she always commented on how they were moving towards the Civ. of Universe Mentality based on thier actions. She was always encouraging them to believe in themselves, and in their possibilities..
Kindness and Gentlness are the strongest of all motivators…. Did you know that Adolf Hitler used a method that today police investigators have stopped using; though it used to be standard protocol in police investigation?
The method was exhaustive, the recitor/questioner would continually repeat a precept, or topic over and over again and then explain that this had to be done. These repetitive rantings went on for hours until the listener was so emotionally exhausted that they either believed they were not doing the right thing; or would stop what they were doing completely and do something (or believe they had done something that perhaps they had not).
This in commonly known as brain washing. Many cults are characterized by this same method of insistant mental conditioning, example:
Churches, you must confess you are a sinner to be saved….or it’s hell for you…. over and over again – causing the person to believe it as they hear it over and over again in many sermons – Note, this is not unconditional love.
Today’s politicians, You must trust that the laws we are writing are good for you and vote for them, even as in most cases, people don’t know what they are voting for; you must do so because we are your authority for whom you have placed your trust (though the dollar says, In God We Trust). And so we blindly comply.
Criminals, in order to get what they want from someone will repeat the same critical messages over and over again in order to gain your obedience – Charles Manson, and those that manipulated Patty Hearst in this manner, and of course Hitler.
This use of forceful statements in many cases are being used to cause a person to work harder, do more. Many feel even coorced into compliance believing they have not done enough as based on the fraudulent belief being projected on them that they are not good enough as they are when working towards accomplishing those things in life that are meaningful to them.
Your talk last night had alot of people thinking I am sure… I have been in the NT Society since 2007, I have watched the changes….
I always keep in mind that love for one another, and especially as pertains to the NT Society which is made up of newly awakened seekers, will always seek to evaluate the edification of the integrated thinking being express through our teaching discussions; as it is understood that one day, in the Civilization of the Universe, we will completely understand our worth as human beings, and the outcome of our life’s work as seen in the faces of those we have lifted up in love, compassion, and understanding.
Thank you
