"The IR Theory" (We R a 10)

Over the next week or so will review some articles written for a business/legal newspaper in upstate NY. Everything you find in these essays/articles you’ll recognize but they’ll be good for passing on to others – business associates and family. I’ll be starting with Part III – the IR Theory – all together there were some 33 articles – which I’ll not address all of them – but maybe four or five. Each of these were a column so they’ll be short and hopefully to the point. When written I was an associate with Paul Meyers of SMI, Inc. and had his full permission for much of what is found in the ideas – and also Hugh Pinnock of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The purpose of these articles was never to make a profit (which I didn’t smile) but to help others to have new outlooks in their personal, physical, ethical, family, financial and social lives. Hopefully even as those in the past have enjoyed and learned you will too.  c/ork

Part III - the IR Theory

The IR Theory was introduced a number of years ago and is pretty simple; the I stand for you as an Individual and the R represents the current Role you are playing. So we have the Individual Role Theory. There are two important concepts to the IR Theory; the first is as an Individual you are always a '10' since that is man's measurement of perfection. The second, is that a woman is better at being a woman, than a man is at being a man. Even the scriptures allude to this, see Proverbs last chapter - 10-31.

With the IR theory in our lives we know that then as an individual we are okay. Heavenly Father didn't make any junk, is often stated, Father Flanigan is often quoted as, "There is no such thing as a bad boy." Two things I've learned in my life time, is that first, we are all born with winner behavior; and second, all loser behavior is adoptive. The medical world has discovered this over and over especially with babies born with no human chance of success at survival yet they not only live they survive and thrive, grow and blossom. It isn't until later when they get more exposed to man and his brilliance (said critically) that they learn about such things as; luck, poor choices, too bad you just missed the cut, complaining, blaming, whining, and more importantly cheating to get ahead. Therefore those who become quitters, losers, or other such labels as our society have found these behavior through adoption. Losers love to blame others for their problems (this is another subject altogether - and will be written separately).

Now the second part of the theory deals with roles we play. Women are better wives than men are husbands, this is mostly due to the some of the unchanging requirements and the constant flux of what society expects from a man. A friend of mine who passed away used to like to say, "Wives get being wives under control in about 10-15 years, while husbands take about 2.5 million years and that is why Father gives us forever together." But there are lots and lots of roles we play every day. Some are given to be bosses, others just to drive a car, a child to be a student, anyone who makes a meal is playing the role of a cook, and so forth; in most of these we are nowhere near being a ten. In new roles, facing a Ryan Nolan fast ball for example most of us are probably a .00000000000000000002; while a Ted William would have been a 3 or 4. The problem is we tend to look at any role we are playing and associate with the who we are, and stop thinking of ourselves as tens.

The importance of the IR Theory is to keep separate the two parts, keep intact the ten individual given you by royal birthright from a loving Heavenly Father; and try to improve at the roles we are given to play in each day. William Shakespeare said, "All the worlds a stage and the people are the actors upon it." This is true as far as he goes, but with moral agency we can decide the roles and from part two the effort to put forth. What was not said, was there were some good actors and some poor ones. We then need to learn between the Individual and the Role. Where most get in trouble is they start thinking the role is more important than the Individual. Most of us will never make our roles to the level of 10, on given days we will be close, but the individual is always a ten.

"Oppression from Entitlement" (a short essay)

“Oppression from Entitlement”

cji

10/11/17

Currently our nation is experiencing multi-millionaires disparaging our nation and our flag. However, those in our House and Senate have been doing it for years: not standing or even paying attention at the beginnings of their meetings. So why could we expect a lot of college drop-outs making millions of dollars to do anything differently. As a matter of fact the DNC have been trying for years to destroy the Constitution with many of the GOP hand in hand with them. Most all are owned by pelf provided by G. Soros and those in his class. From the back hidden corners into the wide open of today they don’t even care who knows how they feel about the US or any of its laws. For eight years they supported the criminals – illegal aliens and praised the terrorists of the world. The past eight years saw the influx of leaders with no experience except for their color or racist views get appointed to courts – and all levels of government employment. In the past 27 years it has become so bad that we’ve judges/politicians/appointed government officials who most likely have no clue as to the contents or the reason behind the Constitution of the US. While they pro-create by adoption those within our public and private schools systems. Of course the majority of those now living in the US (legally or illegally) are intelligence denied when it comes to the Founding Father’s or the laws of the land. This ignorance is then turned on the general public via the media and school systems.

When hate enters the equation all reality is lost and replaced with nothing of value.  Thus we’ve fake news – people pontificating on how the popular vote should control an election – illegals should have the same rights as legal citizens and so on down the line until most of our national debt is supporting those with no internal motivation to either work or participate in ways to learn how to work or be employed. Thus first they become offended that others don’t like their way of existing and then consider themselves oppressed because they want everything given to them.

First the meaning of Oppression: prolonged cruel or unjust treatment or control. "a region shattered by oppression and killing" synonyms: persecution, abuse, maltreatment, ill-treatment, tyranny, despotism, repression, suppression, subjection, subjugation; More the state of being subject to unjust treatment or control. synonyms: persecution, abuse, maltreatment, ill-treatment, tyranny, despotism, repression,

Which brings us to the latest contentious news being plastered by msm into our lives. Two HOF football players one saying no oppression and the other saying there’s always been oppression! Which do we believe? Let’s look at the second first.

He called the following examples of oppression: Vietnam – inflation – Operation Wetback – war on drugs – tax increases – and Jim Crow Laws.  With the exception of the Jim Crow laws which were mostly all in the Southern part of the US (and enacted by the carpet bag governments and Democratic party)– all of the others affected everyone – except those who were on welfare or wealthy. Many forget that the Jim Crow type laws were also enacted upon whites and various religious groups where some were killed when trying to vote (check out Missouri even before the Civil War). Of course those enacting these laws also stripped ownership of land – included murder, rape and forced removal from one’s home and even some totally from the state where they lived.

What about the others on the list: Operation Wetback was to remove illegal aliens who'd come into the US. This was oppression? So let's see - deporting illegal aliens is oppression - or enforcement of the law? War on Drugs - oppression or enforcement of the law Arresting or attempting to arrest a violent/armed criminal oppression or enforcement of the law? Vietnam wasn’t oppression – yes we had the draft (but we so in other wars as well) – but what I saw was it didn’t matter what color you were when hit you bled and in 52K cases you died. (http://history-world.org/vietnam_war_statistics.htm This reference site is Vietnam.)  Of those killed in Vietnam.(combat role) 86.8% were non-black and 12.1% were black. 34% of the blacks in Vietnam were volunteers. 25% of the total force (all cultures) were drafted in Vietnam – while in WW2 66% were draftees. So I’m not sure how serving in Vietnam was oppression – most of us would go back and almost anyone associated with the war know it was lost due to political motivation which is also why it began. Most forget – after WW2 Vietnam was set on the direction of a Constitutional nation – until it was given back as a possession of the French (big mistake of course this was the case at the end of WW1 as well).

Some of the other terms in the definition could be placed on JJ and Big Al – and overall the communities raking in millions/billions of dollars and doing nothing to change the environment but make it worse. Oppression by the DNC to keep poor and welfare entitlements on their voter rolls whether alive or dead or to vote multiple times in violation of the laws. Ignorance on the part of the GOP to do the right thing for the right reason – instead choosing not to rock the boat!

Some of the other oppression voiced (except black upon black) – of course there were riots – where in mid-city black communities destroying their own – I was in Harlem in 1964 – and condition where I’d come from in the Far East were far worse – and when I then to Africa it was equally as bad as the Far East.

It seems it’s okay to commit crimes (would guess this could be considered oppressing the innocent Americans who were the victims – (but these would include all cultures) – but not accept the price of the crime – therefore you’re oppressed because you got caught or someone of your race got caught – and for shootings – how many were in life/death situations? How many innocent whites/Indians/those of other cultures were shot without cause? So far this year’ twice as many Whites have been shot as compared to blacks. Yet when known criminals caught in the act get shot because they’re threatening – fighting – and then their so called community riots and loots – and destroys themselves it’s all whitey’s or the officials fault (never the criminal) – and they’re so oppressed needing to steal – rape – loot – because they can’t get a job or prefer not to work!

This nations has thrown hundreds of billion dollars into the inter-cities – the black community – and what’s there to show for it – oppression and racism – maybe someone is doing this all wrong!

Oppression – hearing why you didn’t get a Scholarship (on the honor roll) – “Well first you’re white – second – you’re a veteran – third you’re married – so you’ll get through whether we help you or not. Married veterans earned $110.00 a month while attending college in those days. Certain professors would fail or otherwise lower your grades so you’d never get above a ‘C’. And lastly if you were avoiding the draft you didn’t even need to attend classes to pass! Oppression is a lot like being offended – some seek it out – other ignore it – to me there’s only one reason ever to be offended – when someone challenges your integrity (when you have integrity).

Smile as always so few will ever read this – and thus writing to the choir – c/ork

Somehow confusion is the cause

which comes from the adversity

inciting riots, hatred, entitlements

fully disrupting the family life

as if severing with a sharp knife

providing rhetorical arguments

lying taught in the university

oppression=entitlement a gauze;

Graduating into fake news alive

given breath by beguilement

adopted into the school system

flourishing in our society’s life

oppression from entitlement a knife

disrupting any defined ecosystem

all of nature in defilement

allowing nothing to survive!

“Required to Know More Than We Do” cji 10/8/17 (short essay)

“Required to Know More Than We Do”  cji 10/8/17

Sometimes one is required to know a lot more than they do having become dependent on others for their education. Most instead select satan’s plan – which is the opposite of agency (Heavenly Father’s Plan) which requires free choice to choose right or wrong – while satan left no agency – choices already made – and therefore no consequences! Soon becoming simply ‘creatio ex niliho’ nothing to nothing – and therefore nothing matters! Of course for those who deny unorganized matter – one world to another – which would include not quite believing in God the Father – his Son Jesus Christ – or the Holy Ghost – maybe only as symbols – illusions – proclaiming a voice of belief (just to be safe) without believing either the Bible or other Scriptures. Have thus accepted a fully inadequate education becoming nothing more than minions of the worldly.

With an inadequate education – one is unprepared to think on their own. Unable to think on their own – they accept a prideful appearance that they do! Unable to ask questions and to seek the answers on their own. Therefore only having traditional answers, excuses and justifications. Quoting those using circular disparities until all is confusion and not worth further pursuing. Thousands upon thousands of books have been written on religion – very few without value by almost lacking understanding of who the Father and Son really are and therefore unable to help another understand. These books thus become more and more disjointed in describing what they themselves do not understand. When one reads the introductions the authors almost all admit this and then go ahead trying to explain what they just indicated could not be understood.

These are the same people throughout history who’ve tried to explain what we need to know about the Bible and other Scriptures. Sadly the same people who’ve translated or otherwise manipulated the Bible. However, even with all of the errors of transmission-translations-man made changes the Bible (and other Scriptures) is still to be taken literally for what is taught that the creative errors cannot erase! Too many have some truth but ignore all of the truth – taking and paying others to tell them what it means. Letting others take care of their religion – really no different than what satan extolls as his religion which much of the world accepts or is required to accept. Many religions require obedience to their creeds rather that to the Scriptures!

Most forget what they learned in the Pre-existence – being taught there was no pre-existence. i.e. creatio ex niliho – even most churches teach this with most any of their members can expect someday to be an angel without body parts or passions. The same as they’re taught of the Godhead – without body parts or passions. Which goes against everything taught in the Scriptures – making them meaningless outside of peer acceptance indicating of some belief when in reality none at all!

Anyone who proclaims to love the Savior – would seek for the full truth of the Bible and other Scriptures – only then could they show their love by full obedience to all of the Commandments all of the time! When one cannot comprehend who our Heavenly Father or his only begotten Son Jesus Christ really are – that they have physical bodies of flesh and bones – and are awaiting our return with our families having been sealed in eternal marriage by proper authority – how can one really put their works with their faith? The Savior has said, “If you love me – keep my Commandments!”

Obedience requires understanding – sometimes being obedient to begin with until understanding comes is needful. Gaining a testimony of truth(s) found within the love of the Savior. However, no obedience or understanding is required to follow satan or his plan. Much easier and especially when the many churches teach it is not necessary; that they could sin a little – repent – sin some more – maybe we’ll be punished a little but in the end we’ll all be saved. A truth mixed within a rhetorical misconception. Yes because of the Atonement we’ll be saved – but to where? Some to the Terrestrial, some to the Telestial – and some to the Celestial -  and others to outer darkness. So just being saved isn’t enough – obedience is required by our works. Of course for some just being saved is enough regardless of what Kingdom they end up in. And this is what satan is banking on! Only that we don’t return with our families into the full presence of the Father and the Son. Thus following satan’s plan requires confusion, ignorance, justification, with or without obedience to the Commandments. He doesn’t care really what anyone teaches or does as long as they do not believe the Scriptures fully.

The Scriptures as we know them to date include: The Holy Bible (Old and New Testament); The Book of Mormon; the Doctrine and Covenants; the Pearl of Great Price; and the teachings of modern day Prophet’s and Apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ – called by Him in these Latter-days. And all satan has to do is keep one from doing this! He’s doing a really good job of it – as millions reject the Gospel of Jesus Christ in its fullness. Professing they’ve all they need.

We live in world where it seems evil is done without consequences – and only those who pay penalties are the righteous. Those who won’t lie, cheat, steal to get out of trouble for refusing to obey laws seem to go unpunished. Even though the jails and prisons are overflowing – while less than 13% of the shootings and murders in Chicago go uncaught and thus unpunished. Rioters have the system figured out – and mostly go unpunished. Steal, destroy and someone will bail them out of trouble. This is satan’s world – teaching confusion, evil, no consequences, and leading even very good people astray. All of this is foretold in the Scriptures! Still millions refuse to believe!

Thus we’re required to know many things – much more individually than we currently do if only being educated by others. Each person is responsible for their journey in this world – and when married for their family – and then for their progenitors (see Malachi) all of which means school of hard knocks education – and self-study – deep research – much prayer and strict obedience to the Father and the Son (See James). If we really want to have our agency we have to be fully obedient unto the Father and the Son – keeping their Commandments in all things and ways. Education in eternal life’s ordinances and covenants should be our major area of study – while if we’re found obedient, anxiously engaged – we can then endure to the end – which all of the Savior’s disciples were told to do!
