154: The Disintegration of Society

Disintegration is a word you're probably familiar with.

We've all heard the term "The disintegration of the family."

Well, what does disintegration actually mean?

Disintegration is the process of losing cohesion and strength. Cohesion is the combination of similar particles into one great whole.

So disintegration is quite literally the falling apart, the coming apart of similar particles of people with similar standards and principles.

"Dis" means "to lack". So you've heard of dishonesty; Dis-honesty means to lack honesty.

You've heard the phrase "Don't 'Dis' on me,"

I know that was popular when I was growing up

"Hey don't 'dis' on me."

Well, dis-integration means to lack integration,

to quite literally lack being a part of a unified whole.

So dis-integration (because it's a process) is going to start first with self; it is when I drop responsibility to

myself and to God. And then the disintegration then goes to family, and when the family begins to disintegrate you see it economically,

and then when it disintegrates economically, you start to see politics disintegrate.

This is happening right before our very eyes and then it goes to social and cultural and that's where we're at today.

 We are literally seeing the disintegration of our society.

Listen to how this mother is unaware, not cued into her son's agency.

She believes one thing about her son and she finds out a very different thing about him.

She is shocked to find out that her son is very disobedient, very dishonest and incredibly irresponsible.

She then becomes scared that she has lost him.

Will this Mom or will you do what is necessary to "Get your child back?"

Will you teach them and hold their choices accountable so they can experience outcomes in reality, outcomes in Truth?

Rode Verses Wade was a landmark decision made by the U.S. supreme court in 1973. The high court of the land ruled that the constitution of the United States gave the right to have an abortion, according to the 14th amendment.

The right to privacy was interpreted to mean that the government could not interfere with the woman's desire to end a pregnancy. Now you all know on June 24, 2022 America overturned the decision made in 1973 and now leaves the abortion decision up to the individual states.

Of course, when one lives in Truth that person is not rocked back and forth by the decision of the high court of the U.S.A., that person is grounded solid in the high court of principles of God. Life is given and granted by God. It is through the bodies he has provided us that we are able to create lives through the principle of pregnancy. It is thereby congruent and honest to look to God for our attitudes around pregnancy, life and the unborn.

Why are so many kids of the mindset that they need or that they deserve a phone?

Most of us lived in a world where phones were not a permanent fixture on our bodies; and we would have never handed over a phone to our child.

Yet today, kids have been conditioned to be demanding and they act entitled about having a phone. More parents are insistent on giving them one, whether out of convenience for the parents or out of trying to make the child happy.

What exactly is happening?

I think every parent has this experience where they watch their child play in imagination and they get a smile across their face.

I know the first time I saw my son secure a towel to his back and ran around the house and jumped off the ottoman, and I remember a smile curving up on my lips and I was trying to hide it as my daughter was wearing high heels pretending she was a mother pushing a little stroller pretending and imagining she was a mother herself.

I remember watching with delight as my oldest made cookies in the kitchen and pretended she was on the Rachael Ray Show.

Children just have this really beautiful gift during childhood and that is the magical place of imagination.

What a beautiful and engaging resource! It really is a resource that children tap into that allows them to develop cognitively, socially, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually.

Imagination helps them to mature. Imagination is a necessary component in learning about oneself.

Now as children grow if they are nurtured in Truth, which means they are taught about Honesty, Responsibility, and Humility. Then they will learn where their responsibilities lie. They can use that developed imagination to assist them in fulfilling those responsibilities. They will learn to utilize imagination to foster creativity and resourcefulness, so in other words, their imaginations become an asset to them.

On the other hand, if a child grows, - and you may be one of these children - and is not nurtured in Truth, they don't learn about Honesty, they don't learn to be Responsible and they are not Humble. Then they will not learn where their responsibilities lie. So this adult - who is a child in this grown body - will use magical thinking to hide their irresponsible behavior. This magical thinking becomes an accomplice in the destruction of a human soul.

So magical thinking is a pattern of thought that does not include personal responsibility. Let me give you an example, it would be like deciding you would like to get a promotion simply because you want a promotion and then demonstrating a pattern of coming to work late. Magical thinking would include setting a goal to lose twenty pounds and then never exercising and maintaining the same high caloric diet. Magical thinking denies personal responsibility.

As I lay out magical thinking in this podcast, be thinking about examples in your own life where you are magically thinking a solution will just up and land in your lap.

Listen to the story of how I learned about Truth and distortion.

I was hurting and I was confused and desperate for answers.

I was taught by Heaven what Truth is, and also what distortion is.

I am excited to share my journeys with you.

Do you relate to any of these emotions?

Feeling a sense of failure, stress, self-doubt, feeling caged or stuck?

Maybe feeling a lack of satisfaction in your work?

Can you relate to any of these physical symptoms?

Feeling drained, exhausted, tightness in the chest or back, maybe your legs ache and your feet swell.

Do you experience headaches or constant upset stomach?

These feelings are common and they are often accompanied with a desire to disconnect, a desire to relax.

What if I told you that the very outcome you are seeking could actually be inflaming burnout?

This could come as a complete shock when I say this but, you do not need to relax, what you actually need is to rest.

Learn how to change fear into empathy/compassion.

Children typically will respond when they are frightened.

Yet, that teaches them to respond because they are motivated by fear to do so.

Follow along with me and see how to invite a child to respond from fear/distortion into empathy/Truth.

Children have choices, they have agency, and invite them into a more likely way to be obedient.

Either way they choose, they still will have outcomes and still will have boundaries.

So come and learn the language of a loving invitation.

Am I selfish for wanting a divorce?

Well, ask yourself this question…

Am I wanting a divorce from my spouse because he or she is not following through and keeping their commitment to God, self, and spouse?

Or am I wanting a divorce because my spouse isn’t

giving me something I want or something I should be

providing for myself?

In order to answer this question. I need to know what

exactly a husband and wife are committing to when

entering into a commitment. 

What is a wife in Truth, entitled to from her husband?

What is a husband in Truth, entitled to from his wife?

Truth entitlements include Honesty, emotional honesty, commitment to honoring God and His commandments, complete fidelity in mind, heart, and body, responsibility, gentleness, meekness, humility, a willingness to counsel together, a cheerful attitude towards working and laboring side-by-side, protection emotionally, physically, and spiritually, last but not least, love unfeigned to love the other without guile, to love without pretense,

or passive aggression.

Now that we have covered a few of the Truthful entitlements of a spouse, what is a spouse not entitled to

from the other?

Let's name a few: sex, money, land, property, education, insurance, happiness, date nights, vacations, holiday observations, holiday traditions, mother’s day, father's day, Valentines day, an unchecked honey to-do list, romance, candle-lit dinners, anniversary surprises, gifts, jewelry,

a man cave, golfing, a girls weekend, guys trips,

new furniture, I could go on and on, romantic bike rides, Christmas at the wife’s home, Thanksgiving at the husband’s house, you get the picture. 

A married spouse is entitled to commitment to principles of Truth. They are not entitled to commitment to the cultural traditions, and expectations. 

So, if marriage is a principle of Truth, endorsed and endowed from God on high, then what is divorce?

When is divorce ever in Truth?
