Anger is an intense emotional response that arises out of fear, pain and unmet expectations, or unfairness, with various levels of intensity. Some of the levels of anger are expressed in words such as: annoy, irk, vex, affront, offend, irritate, incense, infuriate, exasperate, enrage, etc. [1] Rage (or wrath) is anger that has been stuffed away, packed away, crammed in, and hidden from sight. The initial cause of the anger is no longer attached to a specific event, but is generalized, unfocused anger that builds in intensity and volume the longer it remains unresolved. Anger is a good, normal, healthy emotion whose purpose is to protect. Rage is destructive, erodes our well-being, affects our health and puts us at risk. Psychology and Sociology recognize three types of anger: Hasty and Sudden Anger— that tied to a specific event or events.[2] Settled and Deliberate Anger— that of perceived, deliberate harm or unfair treatment. This too is tied to specific events.[3] Dispositioned Anger— that related to character traits, instincts and perceived, known events that manifest in irritability and aggravation.[4] Anger can potentially mobilize psychological resources, boost determination toward correcting wrong behaviors, promote social justice, communicate negative sentiment and redress grievances. It can also be used to develop patience.[5] In the book of John, we are told Jesus (the Lord) went up to Jerusalem at Jewish Passover. In the temple courts he found men selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. So he made a whip out of cords and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn my Father’s house into a market (John 2:13-16 NIV). He was angry but did not sin. He corrected an evil practice of the religious establishment. For we do not have a high priest (the Lord Jesus Christ) who is unable to sympathizewith our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet without sin (Hebrews 4:15 NIV). Rage is destructive when it impairs our ability to process information and to exert control over our behavior. The rageful one can lose objectivity, empathy and cause harm to self and others.[6] Rage can move us to physical and verbal abuse that results in direct or indirect aggression. Neurological studies tie anger and rage to innate fight or flight reactions.[7] Anger is often a response to perceived threat to oneself or to another, and frustration has long been recognized as a trigger for anger and aggression.[8] This reactive aggression progresses from one level of intensity to another without regard for any potential good.[9] Low levels of danger from distant threats induce freezing.[10] Higher levels of danger from closer threats induce attempts to escape the immediate environment. Still higher levels of danger from a close threat, when escape is impossible, initiate reactive aggressions (unprovoked attack or act of hostility).[11] When someone is experiencing and expressing anger, they are not using the thinking part of the brain where logic, judgment and strategy part of the brain reside, but the emotional center of the brain which resides in the limbic system where the more primitive elemental responses originate.[12] How Rage Is Produced When the flight response is used to protect in anger producing situations there is no resolution to the anger (e.g. if the loss is verbally abusive or wounding you may not respond and deal with the situation to keep your job): What does one do with the anger? It is put inside and ignored. The anger is put away as live ammunition that can explode at any moment. All that stuffed anger gradually loses its connection to specific anger events. This becomes unfocused rage and/or wrath. A lid is put over this place to keep it from coming forth to vent too easily. The pressure builds up until it almost chokes the person. At this point a “safe anger event” is used to lower the pressure such as blowing up at spouse and children, road rage and the like. Lowering the pressure is not good anger management nor anger resolution. As Blaise Pascal (French philosopher and mathematician, 1623-1662) said, “The emotions have their reasons that the reasons cannot know.”The emotional data goes to the amygdala which can cause a panic feeling (called an amygdala hijacking) to occur. This produces an emotional reaction without much regard to consequences.[13] The surge of energy in the overriding event releases a flood of hormones triggering the fight or flight response.[14] A longer lasting hormone is released that can last for several hours (or days)[15] Tissue damage resulting in loss of functioning in the frontal cortex can lead to impaired behavioral control (considering anger from a cognitive neuroscience perspective).[16] Frustration occurs when the individual continues to do an action and no reward occurs.[17] Also, failure to distribute resources equally leads to anger and retribution by those unfairly treated—frustration has long been recognized as a trigger to anger.[18] There is then a simple distinction between passive anger versus aggressive anger, or rage.[19] Passive Anger Passive anger characteristics may include: • Dispassion —without passion, emotion, or without bias; uninvolved, i.e., giving someone the cold shoulder; being unconcerned; “sitting on the fuse”; checking out with drugs or alcohol; oversleeping; being unresponsive to others anger or frigidity; objectifying your sex partner; substituting talk or intellectualizing instead of being involved and taking action. • Evasiveness —avoiding; not dealing with the issue, not being assertive; walking away. • Defeatism —being negative, playing the victim role, feeling and acting powerlessly; procrastinating; majoring on minor issues and neglecting the real, more challenging issues at hand; staying in a frustrated, unproductive state and never resolving issues. • Obsessive Behaviors —being germophobic, unnecessarily washing hands, over verifying all things and still not being confident of a proper outcome; excessive dieting, overeating; perfectionism. • Psychological Manipulation —provoking others to anger and rage; patronizing; not giving appropriate support to whom it is due; emotional blackmail; false tearfulness; feigning illness; undermining relationships;using sex to get what you want; being negative or critical to another about someone else, gossiping; withholding, or using money or other resources to get people to do what you want. • Secretive Behavior —concealing one’s thoughts, feelings, etc., from others; reticence, not being open or frank; hiding resentments; being two-faced—being one way to some people and acting differently to others; putting others down to build yourself up, making anonymous complaints, poison pen letters, stealing, conniving. • Self-blame —apologizing too often; overly, harshly criticizing oneself and others; inviting criticism; setting oneself up for failure. • Aggressive Anger (Rage)— aggressive anger characteristics may include: • Bullying —threatening people directly, persecuting, pushing and shoving, using power to oppress, shouting, road rage, playing on people’s weaknesses. • Destructiveness —destroying objects; vandalism; harming animals; child abuse; destroying a relationship; reckless driving; substance abuse. • Grandiosity —showing off; expressing mistrust; being a sore loser; always wanting to be center stage; talking over people’s heads; expecting kiss and make-up sessions to solve problems. • Hurtfulness —violence; mean, cruel behavior to others; abuse: sexual, physical, verbal, emotional psychological; religious, ritual, etc.; rape, a crime of violence; hate crimes: prejudice— motivated crime often violent targeting victims based on sex, ethnicity, disability, language, nationality, physical appearance, religion, gender identity or sexual orientation; labeling and profiling; willfully discriminating; blaming and punishing people. • Threats of Violence —frightening people by threatening bodily harm; finger pointing; threats against property or their livelihood, name, or family; projecting symbols associated with violent crimes; slamming doors, etc. • Stereotyping is based on unvarying, fixed perceptions of certain individuals or groups of people which is a caricature (a deliberately distorted picturing of a person or group) emphasizing badness, ugliness, inferiority. • Scapegoat —a person, group or thing to which we assign the blame for the mistakes, crimes or misfortunes of others which are really caused by other agencies. • Projection —the unconscious act or process of ascribing to others one’s own ideas, emotions, attributes or behaviors which are viewed as undesirable, bad, evil or wicked, this being done by an individual or a group. When by a group, the group is viewed as the source of many or all problems. The psychological effect is to rid the projecting individual or group of the responsibility to deal with their own issues or for a group to engage in their life situations and seek real salutations to their problems. • Low Self Esteem —one psychological process that individuals and social groups use to enhance their self-esteem is to build themselves up by tearing others down. When this occurs, it masks itself by an assumed role of superiority while the devalued ones are ascribed the role of the inferior ones. When stereotyping, scapegoating or projecting are tied to low self-esteem (which devalues others) are combined, great personal or social damage is done. Dictators and authoritarian regimes seize on this and perpetrate great moral and social injustice. For example, the Christian Church set in motion great events of monumental evil: • The Council of Elvira in Spain (AD 306) banned the intermarriage of Christians to Jews. • The Council of Nicaea (AD 325) “We desire, dearest brethren to separate ourselves from the detestable company of the Jews.” The celebration of Easter was separated from the Passover. • St. Hilary of Poitiers (AD 310–367) referred to Jews as a perverse people God had cursed forever. • Theodosius the Great (AD 347–395) permitted the destruction of synagogues, as long as it served a religious purpose. The Bishop of Milan immediately reacted by burning a local synagogue to the ground, an act he described as pleasing to God. • St. Augustine, in 415 AD wrote in The City of God that the Christian Church had replaced the Jews as God’s chosen people. He believed Jews to be the enemy of God’s people, saying the “true image of the Hebrew” was Judas Iscariot. • Historically, the Christian Church has blamed the Jews for killing Jesus, but the Jews say, “No, the Romans killed Jesus.” However, the Bible is clear about it. He laid down his life freely for us all (John 10:17-18). • The Crusades (AD 1096)—Christian soldiers with crosses emblazoned on their uniforms and a cross before them marched through Europe into the Holy Land butchering Muslim and Jew alike. They celebrated their capture of Jerusalem by herdingJews into the great synagogue and burned them alive as they sang, “Christ We Adore Thee.” • The Spanish Inquisition (1480–1834)—thousands of Jews were burned at the stake, their property confiscated and those not killed were ordered to leave the country. This was launched by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. • Pope Leo decreed that Jews were to be confined to ghettos and their property confiscated (1826). • The Holocaust and Nazi Germany under Hitler (1933-1945) in an act of genocide murdered six million Jews. • Paul Helberg, in The Destruction of European Jews , writes: Since the fourth century after Christ, there have been three anti- Jewish policies (forced) conversion, expulsion, annihilation. The second appeared as an alternative to the first, the third emerged as an alternative to the second. The missionaries of Christianity said in effect, “You have no right to live among us as Jews.” The secular ruler who followed proclaimed “You have no right to live among us.” The Nazis at last decreed, “You have no right to live.” Ilyich Lenin (1820-1924) and Josef Stalin (1879-1933) initiated the practices which we called Stalinism. Stalin consolidated his power over the Soviet Socialist Republic by practicing totalitarianism over occupied or politically dominated countries. Stalin ruthlessly gathered up his political enemies, tortured them to get information, then isolated them in labor camps or prisons and/or executed them. It is reported that he murdered over eleven million people. It is stated in Lenin’s, The Lessons of the Paris Communal , that the reason that the Paris Commune failed in 1871 was because they did not kill their enemies. Stalin took this evil principle further than anyone else in history. They, however, drew from the practices in Europe that had occurred before. That is to say, “You have no right to live as you are. You have no right to live among us. You have no right to live.” Wherever totalitarianism exists and dominates, there the same angry, evil practices thrive. The stereotyping of Negroes and our treatment of the American Indian are ongoing issues in our nation. There were, as is estimated, about thirteen million Indians in America when white settlers arrived on their shores. When the Indian wars were over there were about three hundred thousand. That looks like genocide. Of the almost three hundred treaties made with the Indians not one of them was kept. At this time, our government is working out with the Indian tribes in court the final reparation settlement. My mother’s side of the family who were frontier settlers since before the revolutionary war have shed the blood of red Americans. No one’s hands are clean. Some of my families were slave holders in the antebellum south. They lost everything with the Civil War. My great grandmother and her sister were godly women who did much to nurture biblical Christianity in the family. The truth is as well that they prospered from slavery. After the Civil War none were slave holders. They did not participate in share cropping. Anger Management Anger Management’s purpose is to control and regulate anger so that it does not result in problems.[20] Medical treatment of anger is a type of anger management. In this approach, which is commonly practiced by the medical community, drugs are administered to manage the patient’s anger issues. One sees this with alcohol and drug addicted people, the mentally disabled, migraines, and PTSD to name a few.[21] The psychological community often uses cognitive therapies in anger management. These may include: relaxation techniques, monitored breathing exercises, cognitive restructuring and imagery, anger journal writing, the effectiveness of such therapies is very difficult to assess.[22] Anger Resolution Anger Resolution arises out of the fact that the flight response has been overused in anger producing situations. If one takes flight, does not process the anger event to the point of resolution, then the anger is still active. In order to control it we put anger inside us (called “stuffing”). It sits there until some sort of resolution of anger is realized. I use a very simple seven step process to resolve anger: 1. Ask the Lord to help you limit the amount of anger you deal with, and also to help you limit the amount of anger you deal with at any one time so that you are not out of control. 2. Admit I am angry. 3. Let the anger come up. 4. Express the anger in a way that does not hurt you or others: 1) Begin by going into your bedroom. Close the door and speak out loud of the angry memory you are experiencing. 2) Then begin screaming into a pillow. 3) Then hit the bed (or some combination or equivalent of these). 5. When tired, say out loud, “I forgive; I let it go.” (We all know that saying it is so does not make it so.) 6. Check your anger feeling. Sometimes you feel it in your stomach, other times in your heart in painful sharp feelings. Other times it seems that within you the anger rises up in order to do battle. If the anger feeling is there then the anger is not resolved. 7. Repeat the above. Note: It may, and often does, take several repetitions before the amount of anger is resolved. Continue until you have resolution. This is a psychological tool to help you deal successfully with your rage. It works. The more you use the tool, the more skilled you become. Exceptions: 1) It will not work if you do not work the steps and continue until resolution. 2) If the anger/rage keeps on building and does not diminish, then it is demonically empowered. In this case, the demon programming of rage must be cast out. Then return to use the seven-step resolution process. Overview Anger is a good, normal, healthy emotion that is tied to specific events. It is used to protect. Rage is destructive, unfocused and can occur if triggered and may result in compulsive acting out.Rationalizations such as stereotyping, scapegoating and blaming psychologically release us of the responsibility to deal with real problems in the real world responsibly. Dictatorial and authoritarian regimes use these rationalizations to do great evil. Historically, they are not alone in this behavior. The Christian Church and White America have perpetrated great evil this way. Anger management and anger resolution are used to deal with aggressive anger or rage. End Notes 1.

Satan The one who opposes us. The accuser of men.[1] He is the enemy, the great enemy of man and goodness. He is the devil, the one who slanders us. He is the chief evil spirit, a supernatural being subordinate to, and the foe of God and the tempter of men. He is a demon whose residence is Hell. He is called Lucifer, light bearer; the leader of the revolt of the angels before they fell and were cast out of heaven by Michael the archangel, an angel of the highest order of angels.[2] Satanic , having the qualities of, or resembling Satan; extremely malicious—full of wickedness, crafty, badness and spitefulness, hatred, intent on harming, filled with ill will, of Hell and all its evil.[3] Satanist , a very wicked person who honors Satan by doing evil, Satanism, worships Satan, the rites, rituals, ceremonial procedures of their worship, the set form of, or procedures employed in, honoring Satan.[4] Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.[5] Everything evil and flawed comes from Satan and Hell. Satan has no virtue, no effective power to heal or strengthen, does no right action, has no moral goodness, no morality at all. He is evil and works wickedness. He is a stumbling block to us.[6] Those who follow Satan’s evil ways belong to, and are the children of Satan, and carry out his desires. He, Satan, was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.[7] Those who live a life doing evil are described by two biblical words, belial and reprobate . The term “sons of belial” means “those under the authority of Belial, who submit to his teachings, obediently carry out works similar to what he does.” The sons of Eli the high priest of Israel were called belial.[8] They defiled the meat offerings given to the Lord. They had sex with the women whoserved at the entrance of the tent of meeting.[9] The Lord let them be killed in battle and Eli died as well.[10] The belial are worthless, dedicated to destruction, given to lawlessness, useless and base—morally low, disgraceful, dishonorable, shameful, etc. They oppose God and his leaders. [11] They induce worship of other gods. They commit sex crimes, carry out evil. They make false charges against honest men.[12] The reprobate is one who is rejected and abandoned as being beyond saving and is condemned to damnation.[13] In Romans there is a complete description of the person given over to a reprobate mind. Even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do things which are not convenient.[14] The alternate reading of this text is, “Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, He gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.[15] One attains to a reprobate mind, no one is born that way. The process of godlessness and wickedness of men, who suppress the truth by their wickedness brings on them God’s wrath—His vehement exasperation, indignation and fury. As a result of their thoughts, attitudes, emotions and behaviors He gives them over to the consequences of their depravity. What they have earned by their sin He lets them have. Paul set out a listing of acts that characterize them. They lack respect for religion, have hostility to moral guidelines, exercise unrestrained rebellion against God’s biblical limits. They are without excuse. They are not ignorant of the truth but suppress it by their evil works. They ignore the natural revelations of God in the created universe. They ignore God’s revealed truth, God’s eternal power and divine nature being clearly revealed in the created world.[16] They know there is a God, however they do not exalt and honor God nor show love by being obedient to His commandments and do what He says.[17] They are not grateful to God; they do not thank Him. They have no gratitude. The mental and ethical results of this are disastrous. Their thinking becomes useless, futile. Their minds are darkened, and their thoughts are foolish. They claim they are wise and reject God. The fool says in his heart there is no God.[18] The social corruption flows from this. They practice uncontrolled indulgence that produces sexual license, and this indulgence leads to idolatrous spiritual practice, sexual perversion and a base reprobate mind. Their minds are filled with refuse—worthless, useless rubbish. The climax of this is paganism with vile affections and perverted sex. They become law breakers filled with unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, are filled with envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They gossip, become slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful. They invent ways of doing evil and are disobedient to their parents. They are senseless, faithless, heartless and ruthless. As they continue to do these things they gradually cede power over their will until they are completely controlled by Satan, demons, the spirits of the dead and workers of iniquity, a way of life built on lies. They reach the point where they do evil things and approve of those who practice them. At a point in time the evil ones lead them to Satanic worship which includes ritual abuse and murder. There is nothing new in this. Starting with the fall of man and the cohabitation of fallen angels with human females and the children they produced was a corruption of our human nature. These nephilim were hybrids made up of demon genes and human genes. Their character grieved the Lord deeply. Their lives, like ours, were marked by wickedness, evil corruption and violence. Every imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart was only evil continually.[19] Their lifestyle and wickedness manifests itself in their worship. They love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil.[20] As a result, they practice the occult. The occult is hidden, secret, dark, hidden from view and the light so it will not be discovered. It is evil, supernatural and destructive. Those who seek it out do so for some benefit of money, power or authority and/or position and influence. The Canaanite gods of Baal and Asherah or Astarte developed cult worship to manipulate fertility of men and women and agriculture, to affect the weather, wind, seasons, war, to help the sailor and merchant on the seas, and to affect ancestral spirits (spirits of the unredeemed dead human beings). Baal was the king of the gods. Jezebel worked to introduce Baal worship into the northern kingdom of Israel whose capital was Samaria.[21] The Asherah was the name of the fertility goddess and the place where men and women prostituted in groves of green trees in high places which were marked by an upright pole (at times referred to as an Asherah pole).[22] Baal and Asherah were worshiped together. Asherah worshipers consulted the wooden idol and were answered by a stick of wood. [23] Satanic practice is in opposition to the biblical commandments and things prohibited. These are the very things satanists engage in. A listing of forbidden practices in Deuteronomy 18 is: • Do not sacrifice your son or daughter in the fire.• Do not practice divination or sorcery, interpret omens or engage in witchcraft. • Do not cast spells or consult mediums or spiritists or consult the dead. Terms: • Divination—the act or practice of trying to foretell the future by occult means. • Sorcery—the use of evil supernatural power over people and their affairs. • The interpretation of omens, signs, thoughts or events— behaviors interpreted as indicators of good or bad events or outcomes. • Witchcraft—the power or practices of witches, black magic or white magic. • Mediums—a person through whom communications are sent to the living from spirits of the dead. • Spiritists—those who communicate to the dead and the dead to them. • Augury—the practice of spiritualists who interpret omens in things such as: patterns of things thrown on the ground, the entrails of sacrificial animals, palm reading, etc. [24] Baal worship evolved out of agricultural fertility shrines where fruits from the earth and firstlings of cattle were sacrificed to Baal.[25] The sacrifice of children is central to the worship of Molech.[26] However, at times of crisis, Baal’s followers sacrificed their children to gain personal prosperity.[27] In Satanism sex is often substituted for worship. Asherah was Baal’s mother and also his mistress. Her worshipers were encouraged to engage in immoral sex to ensure good harvests.[28] In the New Testament the old Canaanite gods were renamed but still practiced: Zeus or Jupiter took the role of Baal, Artemis the goddess of childbirth and fertility and Aphrodite the goddess of love.[29] Two words are used to denote prostitute: zonah and kedeshah (or qedesha ). Zonah means an ordinary prostitute, or loose woman. Kedeshah (or qedesha ) is used to denote a follower of the Canaanite religion cultic prostitution. Male priests who engaged in homosexual sacred prostitution were called kadesh.[30] Pagans practiced sympathetic magic. It is based on: • The Law of Similarity—the sorcerer or voodoo priest believes he/she can produce any effect desired merely by imitating it. • The Law of Contact (or Law of Contagion)—the things that are and have been in contact with each other continue to act on each other at a distance after physical contact has been severed.[31] • Magic—from the Magi, skilled sorcerers of the Medes and Persians.[32] In Clinton E. Arnold’s book Power and Magic, The Concept of Power in Ephesians . The magical beliefs were based on: • A spirit world exercises influence over virtually every aspect of life. • The magician’s job was to discern the helpful spirits from the harmful ones and learn the distinct operations and the relative strengths and authority of the spirits. • Means could be constructed to manipulate the spirits in the interest of the individual person. • Spoken or Written Formulas, amulets (something worn as a remedy or protection against evil or demons), etc. • The magical charms and formulas could also do harm by uttering a curse against them.[33] Torture and blood sacrifice are common in Satanism. This is seen in the lowest forms of pornography where the sexual functioning of the individual is deadened by perverted sex. It takes more and more kinky, twisted stimuli to bring on ejaculation or orgasm in the sex act. • Sadism (after Marquis de Sade, 1740–1814, whose writings described sexual deviation)—getting sexual pleasure from dominating, mistreating or hurting one’s partner physically or otherwise. • Masochism (after Leopold von Sacher–Masoch 1835–1895)—whose stories describe getting sexual pleasure from being dominated, mistreated or hurt physically or otherwise by one’s partner. [34] These forms of Satanism are prevalent today. It goes on all around us. There are many court cases of public record that attest to the ongoing vitality of Satanism. [35] On August 24, 1989, Charles McCorkle, V.W.E. Johnson, Warden, Joseph Kolb, Chaplain, Freddie V. Smith, Commissioner, United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit, 881F.2d.993, Denial of Satanic Material affirmed, after review, Charles McCorkle, a state prisoner confined in the Holman facility in Alabama, filed a complaint seeking redress for deprivation of his first amendment rights to freely exercise his chosen religion—Satanism. The prison officials denied the request to access certain satanic books and articles, including The Satanic Bible, The Satanic Book of Rituals , and A Satanic Medallion , because they posed security threats and were directly contrary to the goals of the institution. The court ruled the violence inherent in Satan worship and the potential disorder it might cause within the prison justifies the plaintiff’s decision. McCorkle recounted two of the rituals espoused by The Satanic Book of Rituals . The fertility ritual, including the sacrifice of a female virgin (preferably a Christian) and the initiation ritual called for wrist slashing, blood drinking and the consumption of human flesh—usually fingers. The candles preferred by the plaintiff and other Satanists were not made of wax or paraffin, instead they are made from the fat of unbaptized infants. The plaintiff had been observed drawing his own blood by slicing his own wrists and had asked other inmates for blood. The warden testified that upon review of The Satanic Bible , he concluded that persons following its teachings would murder, rape or rob at will without regard for moral or legal consequences. The court noted that there were several satanic sects represented at Holmen Prison who did not need these specific books to practice their religion. Anton Syandor LaVey (born Howard Stanton LaVey, April 11, 1930–d. October 29, 1997) is the founder of the Church of Satan, and wrote, The Satanic Bible, The Satanic Rituals, The Satanic Witch, The Devil’s Notebook and Satan Speaks. He is quoted in a chapter from The Book of Satan that “right and wrong had been inverted too long.” He challenged readers to “rebel against the laws of man and God.” He declared that hatred of one’s enemies was of utmost importance and that revenge should be a top priority. [36] The legal community seems to have chosen to use the scientific community and its research base as the means by which the reality of satanic ritual abuse is established. The defining court case is Echols vs. State (1996) Appellate Court of the State of Arkansas. The court did not allow the evidence to prove that Satanism or occultism is generally not accepted in the scientific community. “Rather, the court admitted the evidence as proof of the motive for committing murders, entire families have been implicated in the ritual abuse of children which proves the fact that generational Satanism exists.” They then referenced several court cases. (See Parker [1995], Figured/Hill [1994] and Gallup [1991]). Perpetrators have been found to be professionals who work in law enforcement, the military or day care. Christian fronts have been used in some instances as a means of hiding the satanic motivation of the perpetrators. (See Cannaday [1994] Wright [1992], Gallop [1991] and Arr [1984]). In several cases the perpetrators have confessed to the satanic element of the crime of participation in prior satanic offenses. (See Helms [2006], Cala [2003], Smith [2003], Delaney [2002], Morris [2001], South [2000], Page [2000], T. Kokoraleis [1999], Bonacci [1999], Brooks [1996], Huges [1996], Penick [1995], Alvarado [1995], Ingram [1992], Rogers [1992] and Fryman [1988]).The False Memory Syndrome Foundation has been using the appellate courts to overturn case convictions involving ritual abuse themes. The appellate court cases became the set legal precedent. They stand and are used to make other case decisions. If they are undermined or overturned, the legal precedent falls. At this time, the level of documentation is quite extensive; they are law.[37] To date, The False Memory Syndrome Foundation has no criteria for one of the primary features of the proposed syndrome—how to determine whether the accusation is true or false. They contend that false memories can be easily created. Their proof anecdotal they also contend is that faulty therapy causes false memories. These are also anecdotal, and some are examples of people who recovered their memories outside of therapy.[38] In Texas, the procedure required by the State Board of Texas who govern counselor there is that all such recovered memories are reported to the Texas hot line for sexual abuse of children. The decision making is at the State level, not the individual therapist. The State decision is then given to Child Protective Services to follow up on the claimed abuse. The Brown University study published over one hundred corroborated cases of Inability to Remember Sustained Abuse.[39] False Memory Syndrome describes a condition in which a person’s identity and relationships are affected by memories that are factually incorrect but that they strongly believe.[40] The term is not recognized as a psychiatric illness in any of the medical manuals, such as the ICD-IU or the DSM-5, however a large number of scientists accept it.[41] Brown states that when pro-false memory expert witnesses and attorneys state there is no causal specific between child sexual abuse and adult psychopathology, that child sexual abuse doesn’t cause specific trauma-related problems like borderline and dissociative identity disorder, that other variables then child sexual abuse can explain the variance of adult psychopathology and the long-term effects of child sexual abuse are non-specific and general, that this testimony is inaccurate and has the potential of misleading juries.[42] In Summary , • Satanism and ritual abuse have a long and evil history dating back millennia. • It exists in all countries of the world. • It is active and present in our world as is evidenced by numerous court cases. • It is both satanic and occult. • It cannot be verified scientifically. However, it is a fact and is a motivation that some exercise to do ritual abuse to men, women and children. • There are many cases of documented and corroborated cases of a person’s inability to remember sustained abuse who later recalled what happened. 1.

About 65% of adults in the United States drink alcohol. Almost 10% of the adult population has an alcohol problem. The population of the United States is about 319,000, that means about 32,000 have a drinking problem.[1] The effects of the children growing up in an alcoholic family are profound and negative. One out of every eight children under the age of 18 is growing up in a family where one or both parents are alcoholics. Most of the alcoholics are men.[2] The term used to describe the effects of the family members in the alcoholic family system is co-dependence.[3] Codependency as a clinical term is described by Timmen Cermark, M.D. based on the schema of DSM-III. His criteria used to make the codependency diagnosis is as follows: 1. Continued investment of one’s self-esteem in the ability to control oneself and others in the face of serious adverse consequences. 2. Assumption of responsibility for meeting others needs to the exclusion of one’s own. 3. Enmeshment in relationships with personality disorders, chemically dependent, other codependent, and/or impulse disordered individuals. 4. Three or more of the following: • Excessive reliance on denial • Constriction of emotions • Depression • Hyper-vigilance • Compulsions • Anxiety • Substance abuse • The past, or current victim of physical or sexual abuse • Stress related medical illnesses • Remaining in a primary relationship with an active substance abuser for at least 2 years without seeking help.[4] The problems relating to the alcoholism can begin before birth. The emotional state of the expectant mother influences fetal development.[5]Family systems research has produced several models of the alcoholic family. Included here is a representation of these. The family roles are identified as: the Alcoholic, the enabler, the family hero, the last child, the family mascot and the family scapegoat. • The Actual Alcoholic —creates a permanent crisis in the family which is marked by disorganization, emotional, financial, psychological and behavioral chaos and shame. Everything is organized so he/she can drink/use. • The Enabler — the chief enabler assumes responsibility for sheltering the chemically dependent from the harmful consequences of the alcoholic’s irresponsible behavior. The enabler plays varying roles to accomplish this: sufferer, waiverer, controller, placator. etc. • The Family Hero —assumes the responsibility for the family’s self- worth. He/she is the family counselor, is super responsible, Mr. or Ms. Successful and always keeps everything together. • The Lost Child —whose primary goal is to escape notice, and escape by emotional and physical separation from the family. The family does not concern itself about him/her. This child lives with loneliness and worthlessness. • The Family Mascot —diverts attention away from the problems caused by the alcoholic by using humor to break the tension. • The Family Scapegoat —His/her primary function is to divert attention away from the alcoholic/drug related problems by inappropriate behaviors. He/She externalizes extremely negative emotions and behaviors with anger, resentment and hurt. These learned behaviors balance a dysfunctional family system so that the family continues on. The behaviors are themselves dysfunctional and self-defeating which assures the alcoholic’s family dysfunction will carry on to another generation of families. Many of the children of such families will have alcohol and drug problems of their own or marry those with similar problems. Adult children of alcoholics with their dysfunctional attitudes, emotions, behaviors and relationships are so prevalent that they are a recognized alcohol/drug family related category of individuals. In Janet Geringer Woititz’ best-selling book, Adult Children of Alcoholics she lists themes of group behaviors that are common perceptions of adult alcoholics: • Adult children of alcoholics guess at what normal behavior is.• Adult children of alcoholics have difficulty following a project through from beginning to end. • Adult children of alcoholics lie when it would be just as easy to tell the truth. • Adult children of alcoholics judge themselves without mercy. • Adult children of alcoholics have difficulty having fun. • Adult children of alcoholics take themselves very seriously. • Adult children of alcoholics have difficulty with intimate relationships. • Adult children of alcoholics overreact to changes over which they have no control. • Adult children of alcoholics constantly seek approval and affirmation. • Adult children of alcoholics usually feel that they are different from other people. • Adult children of alcoholics are super responsible or super irresponsible. • Adult children of alcoholics are extremely loyal, even in the face of evidence that the loyalty is undeserved. • Adult children of alcoholics are impulsive. They tend to lock themselves into a course of action without giving severe consideration to alternative behaviors or possible consequences. The impulsivity leads to confusion, self-loathing and loss of control over their environment. In addition, they spend an excessive amount of energy cleaning up the mess.[6] Not all alcoholics are the same. Some are mean alcoholics, some funny, some quiet. Some are high functioning, some not. Some are dry drunks that are so mean because they want to drink but forbid themselves. Everyone wishes they would drink to get some relief from their anger. Some drink all the time. Some are bingers with gaps of weeks or months between drinking bouts. Some drink, overdose and pass out. Others black out. They are overdosed but continue to act out with no memory of what is going on. Under the influence they can breakout all the windows of the house or stand on the table and sing, be the life of the party. They act out under the influence of alcohol whatever is on the inside. They are often sexually promiscuous. They can commit incest and sexually abuse, rage or be calm. The emotional abuse of such an environment is profound on the children. No one knows what to expect and they internalize a great amount of shame, anger and anxiety. No one in the family ever talks about it. It is too shameful and dangerous. They do not feel free to bring friends home. Under the onslaught of trauma, the child with the ability to dissociate will and become fragmented. Drug addicts, like alcoholics, live for their drug of choice. I cannot recall when I worked with a person that had only one dysfunctional issue. There are many co- occurring problems—alcohol and drugs, methamphetamine and marijuana, sexually transmitted diseases, financial and all sorts of social problems. The opiate addiction and morphine addictions are profound. Many have prescription drug addictions or abuse the prescribed drugs. Altogether, drugs and alcohol account for a huge amount of pain, heartbreak, economic, financial and social loss with wasted lives. __________________ End Notes 1. J. Kinney, MSU and Gwen Leation.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD s) are serious and painful and can cause a lot of damage. They infect the sexual and reproductive organs. You can have STDs and show no symptoms; however, you still have STDs until you are treated. Most STDs can be treated. • Chlamydia —symptoms show up in 7-21 days after having sex. Most women and some men have no symptoms. It is spread during sexual intercourse, oral sex and anal sex with someone who has chlamydia. • Genital Warts —symptoms show up 1-6 months after having sex. It is spread during sexual intercourse, oral sex and anal sex with someone who has genital warts. A mother with genital warts can give them to her baby during childbirth. It may lead to precancerous conditions. • Gonorrhea —symptoms show up 2-21 days after having sex. Most women and many men have no symptoms. It is spread during intercourse, oral sex and anal sex with someone who has gonorrhea. It can be transmitted to children at childbirth. • Herpes —symptoms show up 2-30 days after having sex. There are small, painful blisters on sex organs or the mouth. It is spread during sexual intercourse, oral sex and anal sex with someone who has herpes. Herpes cannot be cured. A mother can transmit it to her child in childbirth. • Syphilis —Stage I symptoms show up 1-12 weeks after having sex. The sore goes away but one still has syphilis. Stage II symptoms show up six weeks to six months after sore appears. A mother can transfer syphilis during childbirth. It can cause heart disease, brain damage, blindness and death. • Vaginitis (bacterial vaginitis)—pregnancy, antibiotics, birth control pills, menstruation; diabetes can lead to vaginitis. It is spread during sexual intercourse, oral or anal sex. Men can carry vaginitis infections without symptoms. They can get it in the prostate gland and urethra. • AIDS/HIV —a sexually transmitted disease. AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is the term used to describe the occurrence of opportunistic infections, Kaposi sarcoma (a cancer) and pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia. HIV is human immune deficiency virus. The HIV viruses progressively destroy some types of whiteblood cells called lymphocytes. These are an important part of the body’s immune defenses. When destroyed, the body becomes susceptible to attack by many other infections. Many of the complications that arise with HIV (including death) are usually the result of these infections.[1] In 2014, an estimated 44,073 people were diagnosed with HIV. The annual rate of diagnoses declined by 19% between 2005 to 2014.[2] At the end of 2012, 1.2 million people in the United States were living with HIV, 13% of these did not know they were infected.[3] Four body fluids can transmit HIV: blood, semen, vaginal secretions and breast milk.[4] It is spread by unprotected anal sex, vaginal sex and oral sex. The rate of infection by HIV is higher if one already has a sexually transmitted disease. • Hepatitis C Virus (HCV or Hep C)—Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver with bacterial and viral infections that can all cause hepatitis. This contagious liver disease is spread primarily through contact with blood of an infected person. It can be either acute or chronic with most acute cases lead to chronic infections. If it stays in the body over time it can lead to scarring of the liver or to liver cancer. Most commonly, people are infected with HCV by: • Needle stick injuries in health care settings. • Sexual contact with an HCV infected person. • Being born to a mother who has Hepatitis C. • Razor cuts (less common). • Many people are infected with HCV and do not know it and they can infect others. There are treatment options. There are several medications available to treat chronic HCV. The FDA maintains a complete list of approved treatments for Hepatitis C with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB Prevention.[5] Annually, the U.S. incidence of new sexually transmissible infections is 20 million. The prevalence of total infections is 110 million. The total medical costs run 16 billion dollars annually (2010 report). These costs do not include indirect costs (e.g.loss of productivity) or intangible costs (e.g., pain and suffering). HCV is associated with sexually transmitted infections. Young people between the ages of 15-24 are particularly affected and account for 50% of all new STDs. However, they represent just 25% of all the sexually transmitted infections. Diagnosed STDs are roughly equal for young men and young women (49% for young men and 51% for young women). Together they total 19.7 million people. Human papillomavirae account for about 14 million sexually transmitted infections. Most HPCs will go away within a two-year period, but some can lead to severe diseases, including cervical cancer. The CDC recommends that all teen girls and women through age 24 be vaccinated as well as teenage boys and men through 26 years old. Gay and bisexual men who have sex with men should be vaccinated through age 26. The HPC vaccines are most effective if administered before an individual has sex. Prevention of STDs is possible and urgently needed. Many Americans are at substantial risk to exposure to sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The most effective means of prevention includes: • Abstaining from sex. • Reducing the number of sexual partners. • Consistently and correctly using condoms. • Being inoculated with vaccines that prevent HBV and some types of HPVs that cause disease and cancer. • STI screening and prompt treatment. The statistics are very revealing. The promiscuous sexual lifestyle of teens, men and women, that continue into their 20s are the major reason we have such a huge problem with sexually transmitted diseases and infections. Our society has become increasing promiscuous and openly free of any moral or ethical restrictions. This leaves the teen male or female and adult alone to make up their own mind about sex outside of a monogamous relationship. T.B. Masten, the greatest teacher of ethics that Southern Baptists ever produced said, “If we break God’s laws, they will (eventually) break us.” That statement is true of personal andpublic morality. Many in this age group do not connect their illnesses with the consequences in their value system. Standards of conduct and moral judgment are not seen as relevant to the sexually transmitted diseases and infections. However, the cause-and-effect relationship is clear. If they had not been sexually promiscuous, then they would not have the diseases and infections. In the past, our cultural standards of conduct and moral judgments were more closely and clearly related to Judeo-Christian values and morality. To put it another way, ethics were connected to our religious values. With our increasing cultural diversity, and in our interactions with our fellow citizens of different orientations to religion, standards of their conduct and moral judgments, we have not found how to relate successfully and be at peace within ourselves. The question is how can we have guidance based on our historic religious values and not diminish the values of others. Operating without truthful cultural standards of conduct and moral judgment leads to diseases, demonization and death. Relating to ourselves and others without moral and ethical standards does not work individually or collectively. The strongest cultural institution that we have that directs us as a people is our system of law. We have a legal tradition that upholds freedoms of religion, freedoms of conscience, etc. without forced conformity except in the cases where the collective good outweighs our personal moral judgments as interpreted by law. These freedoms without forced conformity create an unresolved tension between individual and collective freedoms. This nation has never embraced complete freedom of individuals to express their personal freedom. We did however choose to live under a system of law as a nation. The resultant republic draws its authority to govern and enforce law from the electorate. This system of law is administered by officials directly or indirectly elected by the people. This limited freedom, and where to draw the line between individual freedom and the collective good of the nation was summarized in a proverb, “The limit of my freedom stops at your nose,” that is to say, individual freedom cannot be extended if it results in damage to another. The other limit stated in the Preamble of the Constitution, and implicitly applied to our national affairs, is our belief and acceptance of God, our good creator God. The God referred to over and over again by the framers of the Constitution is the God of the Bible. He set limits of behavior in His biblical record. We refer to this as Judeo- Christian values. As a nation, we are turning away from the biblical limits but putting nothing in its place. We are losing our common ground. Both individual and collective freedoms are valid and necessary. The difficulty arises when we try to establish the line between individual and collective rights under law. At this time, the judicial system is not applying the Judeo-Christian values encoded in the Ten Commandments to law. Increasingly the appellate and Supreme Courts do not apply the Constitution to our interactions. Expression of Judeo-Christian values and symbols on public and governmental properties have become the occasion for lawsuits. All judgments are based on values of some sort. Increasingly, the values expressed in the judicial decisions are based on the prevailing cultural values. The ongoing cultural war is about which values will prevail. Will it be the materialistic, secular, paganistic values of the generation of thirty years and younger? or will it be the values of the older generations with their more traditional Judeo-Christian ethic? Why the cultural war and why are the parties so offended by each other? The Judeo- Christian understanding of reality is both material and spiritual. The secular values only embrace material values. The Judeo-Christian believes that God is creator and sustainer of all that is, and His moral laws revealed in the Bible are the truthful and good basis of all life. Our secularized culture follows the philosophical teachings of Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) who taught that the spiritual is real, but unknowable. Therefore, it is not taught in our educational systems. The people of faith believe that God has revealed to us in the Bible how to live and they believe also that He continues to share His thoughts to us today. We can and do know His will and receive his revealed understandings for us individually. His communication is ongoing but never contradicts the written word of God. The secular world believes that we can decide to live any way we wish, and choose our behaviors, attitudes and thoughts within the framework of secular law. The Judeo-Christian believer holds that the laws of God are absolute and that they transcend the authority of secular governments. If our behavior and attitudes are illicit to them, we give place to the devil. If you are angry, do not let the sun go down on your anger and do not give the devil a place, a foothold (Ephesians 4:26-27). Our disobedience to His laws leads to demonization. This is sin. The wages of sin is death. This is not a laughing matter (Romans 3:23a). Roe v. Wade and the Supreme Court’s upholding of it is the fault line of the cultural war. The decision to validate a woman’s right to abortion is not based on the Constitution but on the individual right of a woman to have authority over her own body. The words of the Preamble to the Constitution were set aside, i.e., we areendowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Rowe vs. Wade is as constitutionally valid as the Dred Scott decision of the United States Supreme Court, it concluded “that all African Americans had no rights that white men were bound to respect.” (H. L. Gates, Jr. and D. Yacovone, The African Americans Many Rivers to Cross [U.S.A., Smiley Books, 2013] 109). In like manner, Rowe vs. Wade, cutting across all ethnic groups, has concluded that all unborn American children have no rights that U.S. citizens are bound to respect. Therefore, we have the right to kill them. So much for the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. There is no bill of rights for the unborn; they were legally deprived of life and all human rights. Since that became law over 58 million Americans have been murdered legally. The Bible says, You shall not murder (Exodus 20:13 NIV). That makes abortion on demand illegal before God and demonizes us individually and collectively as a people. The result is sure and certain death as a nation. Our birth rate at this time is not large enough to sustain our present level of population. If we continue to produce 1.8 children per family over time, we will depopulate ourselves and die as a nation. We are repeating the same mistakes of Greece and Rome. They turned away from sex between a man and woman and embraced same sex relationships. Adding to that, they practiced infanticide on a broad basis. They depopulated themselves. They declined as nations and others rose up to take their place. We are repeating a mistake that was made by others over two thousand years ago. We curse ourselves in our excess of individual freedom! Our people as a whole have and/or do commit four national sins: 1. The annihilation of the American Indian. 2. Persistent racism against the American Negro and other racial/social groups. 3. The legally sanctioned murder of unborn Americans (which approaches sixty million). 4. Rejection of the Judeo-Christian God of the Bible and of our founding fathers. Along with that, both within the organized Church and the pagan society outside of it, we refuse to apply the biblical principles and teachings to ourselves and to our society. I do not see the law changing this trend, nor the government. I do not believe the institutional Church, which is all but syncretized to our culture, to be able to make the changes in the general population. If a turnabout occurs, it will be by a great revivalamong us. This will be a gift of God emanating from a righteous remnant that will redeem our national and individual souls. The age group under thirty years of age (ages 15 years to 24 years) are highly diseased with sexually transmitted diseases and infections: • The more promiscuous sex that one engages in, the higher the rate of infection. • Total sexually transmitted infections are 110 million. The total medical costs are 16 billion dollars (U.S. 2010 dollars). • The laws that govern our behaviors are of two kinds: 1) There are the laws of the land: national, state and community, and 2) There are the laws of God that transcend and rule over nations and all governments. • The civil law derives from the consent of the people. Having sex outside of marriage breaks no civil law, nor does aborting unborn children. • God’s laws arise from the Jewish-Christian Bible. The laws are codified in the Ten Commandments among which are: You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not lie; You shall not steal. • When we break God’s laws, we become demonized (give place for demons to inhabit us, Ephesians 4:26, 27). • When we sin, we earn death unless we repent and turn to God. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23). • We are making the same mistakes that Greece and Rome made two thousand years ago, and we are beginning to reap the same results. • They depopulated themselves by excessive indulgence in personal freedom, namely, homosexuality and infanticide. • We are dying as a nation for the same reasons. Through same sex orientation and abortion our birth rate has declined to 1.8 children per family. This will not maintain our present level of population. We have cursed ourselves and we are dying as a result. NOTES 1. M.H. Beers, MD, Editor in Chief, The Merck Manual of Medical Information , Second Home Edition (New York: Pocket Books, 2003). 2.

Based on Chapter 7 of T he Divided Soul Self Esteem and Dissociation There are two factors that must be present in order to lose access to your God given self-esteem. If you are a person with multiple personalities: 1) You must possess the innate ability to dissociate (which is your hereditary heritage), and 2) You must also be traumatized. (Your hereditary abilities are from God; the traumas are from Satan.) Types of Trauma The traumas of life may be intentional or just happen. Without going into too much depth, I will give here a suggestive few. Fear trauma seems to be the major traumatizer. There is womb trauma (trauma that splits the child in the womb), parental rejection, the mother’s personal traumatic experiences, alcohol and drug addiction, abuse, etc. There is birth trauma that occurs in the birthing process, doctor generated or mother’s difficulties in bringing forth her child. There is trauma in the family of origin arising out of a vast number of parental dysfunctions, self-centeredness and cruelties. These include such things as the chaos of the alcoholic or drug addicted home. There is the lack of structure, provision and safety, perfectionism, negative critical faultfinding family interactions. There is abuse, physical, sexual, verbal, religious, ritual and emotional. There is emotional deprivation, lack of love, belonging and unconditional acceptance, lack of caring, nurturing appropriate touch, word and interactive time spent together and many more. There are accidents causing brain trauma, disfigurement, anxiety and periodic and particular phobias. There is cruelty that causes the above based on intention to hurt and destroying which violate normal and healthy boundaries and many more. The Trauma Process Whatever the trauma, Satan and his hosts use it against us at the crucial moment to inflict deep and enduring traumas on us. The Personality is split— The birth personality, the part of us that makes executive decisions, is split out of the whole of the personality. At this time the inner self helper is formed. This is the one who lives life day by day in a wholesome and healthy manner. Many other alters are formed as well. The Demonic Invasion— Demons, fallen angels and spirits of the dead, the unredeemed of all the ages and other alters not native to the person’s personality invade the traumatized one. Self-esteem Is Hidden— Most of the time the self-esteem, which is an entity that carries our value of our worth, is stolen. It is then hidden somewhere within our personality. If the person is male the self-esteem will be male, if they are female, female. At the point of trauma and splitting the alters stop growing psychologically and will remain that age. They will remain that age until found and healed. With lesser trauma the self-esteem will be covered over all the time. With even less trauma the self-esteem will be misted over at critical moments and hidden from view. When any of these three occur, the person will revert to performance-based love and acceptance. Salvation Necessary —Every separated part of the personality, self-esteem, or any other, must be saved. These parts, or alters, or personalities, are all making decisions separate from the birth personality. Each has spirit, mind, emotion and will. They are asked to make a voluntary decision to accept the Lord Jesus as Savior and Lord. The Core of Being —The core of being is that place where God has put all He created us to be when He knit us together in our mother’s womb. After the Theft —After the theft (or covering) of the true self has occurred, we are put into a crisis state. We no longer know who we are. The normal state of the dissociated person is I don’t know who I am . This causes problems; we cannot be nobody and live. We have to be someone . In this vacuum we create a self. What we create is not the true self that God created, but a false self. The False Self —This false self only works after a fashion, and not well. Whereas the true self is created by God; we make the false self. The true self is a state of being— being who we really are. The false self is an ongoing attempt to be somebody. It’s an effort, a doing, a performance. The false self performs so as to be validated. Without validation from significant people one does not feel he is good, valuable and precious. Lack of validation amounts to an attack on self. This is the essence of performance-based love and acceptance. They are forever performing, trying to prove to others and reassure themselves they are someone of value. It’s like walking on a treadmill—it uses up a lot of energy, but in the end, you are in the same spot as when you started. After a brief moment of feeling good about ourselves, it fades away. We then have to start all over again. [See illustration.] Reversal of the Trauma Process An interaction of the therapist and the individual led by the Holy Spirit can take place to find or discover self-esteem. The therapist is aided by the Holy Spirit by words of wisdom and words of knowledge.When found, there is usually given a nurturing angel for the true self. This angel will stay with self-esteem until he/she reaches maturity. Adulthood is recognized to be eighteen years of age. During this time the self-esteem is completely restored. When eighteen years of age he/she is integrated back into the core of being. If the child self- esteem is integrated before adulthood, the child would be traumatized by adult demands on them. During the maturation time, two of God’s angels are assigned and taught to be the self-esteem by the Lord. There are two angels because they each work 12-hour shifts. They enter into the core of being and they become who we are. Who we are is then visible to the spirit person within. The true self then knows who he/she is. We are who the Word of God says we are. We are loved and therefore lovable and many other attributes of personality are added and understood. The true self, the self-esteem that God creates is a state of being, not something we must attempt to be. For more information and help check out Dr. Coad’s book, The Divided Soul in the Book Store.

The Following Is a Description of a Healthy Family Based on Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. A need is something you have to have to be healthy, and as such, it is not optional. While a need may be unmet and a person or family may survive for a while, it is like subsisting on a substandard diet. One ends up malnourished. Needs are not to be confused with wants. A want is a wish or desire for something, a craving. As those who deal with alcohol and drug addicted people, a craving is not a need. Diener and Tay proved Maslow was right. There are universal human needs.[1] As the word “hierarchy” suggests, the needs are placed in an ascending scale of importance even though they are all interdependent and necessary. People tend to achieve basic safety needs before other higher needs.[2] Maslow himself wrote that the relationship between different human needs and behavior are often motivated simultaneously by multiple needs. (See A. Maslow, Motivation and Personality , Harper & Row, New York, NY. 1987, p.51.) [3] It should be noted that while the author uses biblical language in his description of the needs, Maslow was an atheist and differed from Freud in that he, Freud, considered spirituality as a guide to direct behavior.[4] Maslow’s hierarchy of needs has been interpreted as a pyramid with the mere basic needs at the bottom.[5] But meeting these needs may occur simultaneously.[6] Physiological Needs include breath, food, water, sex, sleep, homeostasis (to resist or slow down change), and excretion (to separate waste material from the blood, tissue and from the body). Safety Needs —Security, order, stability of the body and emotional/psychological well-being of the individual. Aids to this include employment, resources, morality, the family, health and prosperity. Love and Belonging Needs —Love is unconditional. It includes love of self and the experience of love in family and among friends. It also includes sexual intimacy with the right person, at the right time of a person’s life and for the right reasons. It is not to be forced, violent or immoral. It includes belonging needs: to relate, to be connected to, to be a part of, and to have a close affinity for those with whom one is related, as in, these are my people. This is my place. This is with whom, and where, I belong. Esteem Needs —include self-esteem, believing and accepting oneself to be precious, of high worth and value, feeling and acting in a self-confident manner. This is to have a full belief in, being fully assured of and certain in one’s position, authority and role, to function successfully. Being free to achieve, while showing respect for self and others, all the while being respected by others and intimates. Wives respect your husband by submitting to him. Husbands love, sacrifice and provide for your wife sacrificially, even as Christ loves the body of Christ. (Ephesians 6:23-33) Self-Actualization Needs —include the ability to fully achieve, the freedom and confidence to move yourself to, or successfully to attain by effort, self-discipline, practice and skill, to be all that you have potential to be and to accomplish all that God created you to do. It is being and doing. In order to be self-actualized one must be free to succeed or fail without loss of prestige. There are two common sayings that express this thought, If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again . A spin-off of this is, If at first you don’t succeed, you are like most other people . Failures occur in all new endeavors. One should not be diminished by mistakes but should take them in stride and learn from them. If you are afraid of failure, you will not try new and different things and will not develop and achieve. The characteristics that Maslow developed in self-actualization where what he observed in people who achieved and were positive and healthy in their view of life. Morality —those in whom their character is in accord with principles and standards of right conduct and virtue. Creativity —the ability to form something new by observation or intellectual effort or combining things already known in a different manner or processing to create something new. Spontaneity —behavior that arises out of natural feeling, temperament and disposition without compulsion, constraint or premeditation. Problem Solving —the ability to provide a satisfactory answer to a question, matter, situation or person to resolve a difficulty or something that must be done. Prejudice is making a judgment or forming an opinion before the facts are known. It is acting on a preconceived idea. Acceptance of Facts —to believe and recognize that something is reality. It is truth that something really is and that its consequences and benefits are real. Families provide the framework so that the family as a whole and the individuals in it may realize the five groups of needs in their lives. No families do this perfectly. Dysfunctional families usually do not provide the structure to attain anything more than the physical needs in level one. Healthy families do their best to see that the five basic needs are met in all. Love covers a multitude of sins. (I Peter 4:8) NOTES 1. https://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham Maslow 2. Ibid. 3.

Satan’s Destructive Works to Bring About the Will of Satan on Earth as It Is in Hell By definition, there is no virtue, no goodness, no safety, no comfort in Hell, nor with those Satan directs and controls. Those caught up in his evil schemes have no power over, no escape from, Satan, demons or spirits of the dead (some of which are ancestral spirits who have died and gone to Hell). Anyone who does not know Jesus as savior and lord and does not have the Holy Spirit dwelling within and working through him does not have the seal of the Holy Spirit. He does not have any authority, power or victory over the evil ones. In our own strength we are powerless against the evil ones. The ones without the Holy Spirit (who obey Satan and do what he says) live lives which become one long night of hell (Ephesians 1:13-14). All of us who do not know Jesus as savior and Lord are dead in our transgressions and sins and we live in Satan’s power, following the ways of this world and the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. We carry out the lowest cravings of our sinful nature to fulfill the evil desires and commands of the wicked ones (Ephesians 2:1-3). The Sources of Shame, Self Hatred, Terror and Death Generational Causes We of the West do not think of ourselves as one of a continuous line with those who have lived and died before us. Most of us see life in relationship to our family and those around us. However, traditional people and those in Eastern cultures and also those of underdeveloped lands and people see life as continuous interactions between the living and the dead—the living and the ancestral spirits. In the traditional, religious world people honor and venerate the ancestors. Often, they build spirit houses for the spirits of the dead and/or use masks through which to communicate with them. They pray to them, do rituals with symbolic significance before idols.They give offerings to them and the priesthood that serves the spirit world and the temples of idols. Some carry-on conversations with the dark spirit world. They may serve as mediums between the living and the dead. They often make blood sacrifices to the spirits of the dead and demons. These sacrifices may be evil deeds. Generally, they fall into the categories of evil, wickedness, corruption and violence. At some point they end in violent death. When a people’s allegiance to evil spirits is broad based, the collective concentrated power of evil is manifested in mass destruction, wickedness and murder. We see it as war, famine, pestilence and martyrdom of innocents. These are not rare occurrences. Unfortunately, they have frightened, afflicted and destroyed the human race with dreadful historical regularity. In the Bible, the influence of the past on us (who are alive) personally is referred to as generational sins and blessings. It is written, “I am the Lord your God…punishing the children for the sins of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me (do not obey my teachings) but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments” (Exodus 20:2-6). This is to say that there is succession of physical, behavioral and spiritual descent from father to son to grandson. It shows up in the lives of both men and women. What we do matters. If we sin (and we all do) there is a negative generational consequence. If we confess our sins, He (God) is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness (I John 1:9). To sin is to disobey God’s Word and His will for our lives. When we sin, we become impure and practice unrighteousness. More than that in our disobedience we give the devil a place, a base in us from which demons may operate in our lives (Ephesians 4:26,27). Unconfessed sin from which we do not repent becomes generational sin from parent to child. Likewise, if we confess and turn away from our sins, God, Who is both faithful and just, will bless a thousand generations. This righteous act of confession and repentance blesses not just us and our children but blesses a whole nation. “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people” (Proverbs 14:34). It matters not that we are ignorant and sin out of our ignorance. False or Incomplete Principles and Systems of Thought Fate There are those who believe in fate. That is, they believe every incident in our lives is inevitable and our lives cannot be changed. Our destiny is controlled by a superior power. Every event is determined beforehand. Nothing can be altered by our choices or acts of our free will. This is not true. Yes, it is a fact that we live in a spiritual, environmental context that is powerful and real, however, the generational weight and currents of the past can and should be confronted. With God’s help we can begin again. We are able to transcend our generational sins by acts of our will and spirit in the name of the living God. Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved (Romans 10:8-13). Behaviorism The behaviorists explain the above in logical fashion with scientific experiments and clinical procedures. They place responsibility for our human calamities on physical causes and corrupt non-evidence-based thought and conclusions that can never be tested. At times, this is true. However, issues like hunger, injustice, greed, corruption, evil and violence have long been with us and do their wicked deeds. A non-scientific environment and a culture where the scientific is much admired and broadly practiced are alike in one crucial way: both are shot through with evil wickedness, corruption and violence. A utopia, with its perfect political and social systems, has never existed. Nor is it plausible to assume that it will in the light of present and past human history. Idealistic, imaginary perfection in human behavior is a myth. At best, environmentalists offer a partial answer to these age-old problems. We are always left with questions such as, how shall we love one another and live in peace? The New Age Pagan Thought The neopaganism that is pervasive in many of our cultures from North to South and East to West, whether the language is English, Russian, Chinese, Spanish or one of the many dialects, reproduces destructive seed and becomes rooted in many and works its age-old woes. Idolatry becomes widespread. Standards of morality and whatis good, true and beautiful are redefined as valid by individual choice and belief. No man’s values and standards are better than anyone else’s. What is right or wrong is based on a continually changing consensus of thought. There is no basis of truth that grounds us in the bedrock of reality. Each person does what is right in his own eyes. This leads to moral, cultural and political chaos. We lose our way. We cannot verify if we are on our way or have wandered off the track. We are not sure we have arrived at our destination or even if the place we come to is our destination. We are lost! When one raises up a standard of absolute truth, even if it transcends language, particular and personal history or cultures and has proved to stand and function over time, it is rejected. One hears such things as, “How narrow minded!”, “How bigoted!”, “You can’t define for me  what is right for me!” and “Where do you get the right to judge me?” Where indeed! The Bible in American Culture Since the Reformation, Western people put the Bible into the language of the average citizens so that they could read what it said. The Reformers understood that if we had access to the truth of the Word of God, we then had the authority to make valid decisions and even judge kings, priests, judges, others and our own selves based on the Word. This overriding principle has been applied all over the world in every tongue, tribe and nation. It always transforms, redeems and gives life more abundantly. The present effort by some in our cultural war centers around reinventing the cultural norms of our nation on something other than that of the real historical facts. Others strive to preserve and nurture our Judeo-Christian biblical roots in this present time in our history. If the secular, humanistic, pagans succeed, they will create a huge deficit in communication and understanding. The Bible is almost universal and helps other cultures and peoples understand us. The Bible has been translated into many languages from the biblical languages of Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. People who read the Bible in their primary or secondary language read the same concepts, principles and world view of the Pilgrims and the Founding Fathers of our nation. This creates great understanding and helps clear communication.There are no absolute figures available of world population and literacy. However, there are accurate estimates available. The Earth’s current population as of June 2017 is 7.5 billion. Of that, the full Bible (Old and New Testaments) has been translated into 636 languages. The New Testament alone into 1,442 languages and portions of the Bible into 1,145 languages. That amounts to 3,223 languages. The accumulated number who have access to the Bible approaches 90% to 95% of the world population. These translations represent the work of translators over time. By 2025 Bible translators are working to complete the Bible in every remaining language.[1] There is no substitute for the Bible in the heart language of the people. There is no dynamic equivalent to replace God’s written Word. Legacy and History of the Judeo-Christian Ethic The Bible and Judeo-Christian teachings have been a dynamic part of North America’s history from its inception. The Pilgrims drew up the Mayflower Compact  in November 11, 1620, while aboard ship. They chose to establish a government. It was based on majority rule and allegiance to the king. They named their settlement Plymouth. With the Mayflower Compact  the Pilgrims established a social contract in which the settlers chose to consent, and they agreed to follow the Compact’s rules and regulations. This civil government provided a basis of secular government in North America. Forty-one male passengers of the Mayflower signed the agreement. These people had formed a congregation in Leiden, Netherlands and stayed there eleven years as a religious community built around the written Word of God in their own English language. They were considered separatists in England and were a persecuted people under King James. They referred to themselves as saints (those who have the Holy Spirit by salvation by grace through faith), adventurers and tradesmen. Their stated purpose and motivation were, “for the Glory of God, and advancements of the Christian faith and honor of our King and Country.” [2] The founders of the Constitution held strong religious convictions and were generally committed to an organized church. Of the fifty-five delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention, twenty-eight were Anglicans (The Church of England), twenty-one were Protestants, two were Roman Catholics. A few prominent Founding Fathers were anti-clerical Christians (such as Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin). There was also influence from theistic rationalism.[3] In the absence and rejection of Judeo-Christian teachings and principles, a vacuum occurs in society and in its individual citizens. Their life’s purpose is limited to thematerial world, the cravings of the flesh and their sinful nature. This is universally true. This in turn leads to destruction, evil, wickedness and violence. Ultimately this produces death individually and collectively as a nation. Where there is no revelation, no vision, the people cast off restraint and perish (Proverbs 29:18a). However, the hope and prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hopes and expectations of the wicked shall come to nothing and they and their schemes will perish (Proverbs 10:28). What follows is a brief listing of verified court cases that illustrate the lives of people who disobeyed God’s principles and clear teachings. Their destructive and corruptive behaviors when they chose to obey and follow Satan are clearly stated. Court Evidence of Satan’s Destructive Work These proofs were taken from the report “Satanism and Ritual Abuse Archive” by Ellen P. Lacter, PhD. in Evidence of Ritual Abuse, January 1, 2007.[4] The following represents a few of the court cases where the defendants were motivated by Satanism, demonic or occult forces to commit great evil. As of July 4, 2007, a Lexis Nexus search revealed more than 30 Appellate Decisions in which The Satanic Bible was mentioned. In McCorkle v. Johnson (1989)  [5] the court wrote “The prohibition on Satanic materials…requested by the plaintiff is justified.” McCorkle recounted two of the rituals espoused by The Satanic Book of Rituals. The fertility ritual included the sacrifice of a female virgin, preferably a Christian. The initiation ritual called for wrist slashing, blood drinking and the consumption of human flesh—especially fingers. The candles preferred by the plaintiff and other Satanists “are not made of wax or paraffin, instead they are made from the fat of unbaptized infants”. The plaintiff had been observed drawing his own blood, by slicing his own wrists and had asked other inmates for their blood. In Maine v. Waterhouse (1986)  [6] the appellate court quoted passages from The Satanic Bible to prove and uphold the Satanic motivation for the crime. In Adoption of Quenten (1997)  [7] the appellate noted the perpetrator had read The Satanic Bible. In   State of Idaho v. Thomas Wendell Helms  [8], the dissenting judge argued for a stronger sentence against Helms. He gave his reasons based on the legal history of Helms: As a youth Helms had sexually violated a young girl and his younger brother. He was designated a sexual predator shortly thereafter. His parole officer stated Helms had no conscience. Helms slashed the throat of one inmate and planned to murder another one. After the attack he told officers that if they had not stopped him, he planned to eviscerate the victim, pull out his internal organs and eat some of them. Helms repeatedly displayed a fascination with homicide, cannibalism and idealized Charles Manson. In the year 2000 he told investigators that in 1994 he was involved in the murder of a female African American prostitute, ate her heart and assisted in cutting up her body into pieces. He also confessed to another murder at that time. He reaffirmed that these statements were true, that he was part of a satanic cult at that time, also engaging in murder and cannibalism. In Russell John Smith v. State of Virginia  [9] the court sentenced Smith to 48 years for four counts of rape. The news reports stated that the self-described Satanist Russell John Smith, 38, a former guard at the Prince William County jail and founder of a satanic worship group on the Internet, plead guilty to four counts of rape. He claimed that most of the sex acts with a 12-year-old girl was part of his satanic rituals. Police searched his home and found numerous satanic items, including robe, black candles, a goat’s skull, a pentagram and an altar. See “Virginia Fugitive arrested in Oregon” Associated Press, Sept 4, 2002; “Self-Described Satanist Sentenced to 48 Years for Rape”, Associated Press. July 25, 2003: “Sentencing Delayed for Satanist Who Raped Girl,” Associated Press, June 19, 2003; “Metro in Brief” The Washington Post, July 28, 2003. Joseph Frank Cala II, Conviction of Murder —January 8, 2003 ,  Fort Worth, Texas, Tarrant County Justice Center, Case No. 0822743, Joseph Frank Cala II, Conviction of Murder. [10] The news reports stated Joseph Cala, 41, pleaded guilty to murder in the 2001 death of his 79-year-old mother, Lydia M. Cala. He beat her to death, sliced her open and ate some of her heart. After a three-hour hearing, the District Judge chose the maximum of the 20–30-year sentence contained in the plea agreement. The victim’s daughter testified that she went to her mother’s house the evening of October 15, 2001, after neighbors called and said windows had been shattered from inside the house. She was afraid to enter the residence due to fear of her brother, so she called authorities. Officer Kevin Meador testified that when he looked through the bedroom window, he saw a naked, bloody man standing over what he learned later was a woman’s mutilated body. Another officer saw Cala eat what appeared to be an organ (according to police reports). Meador and other officers took him into custody. He told them they had interrupted his “sacrifice.” The 76-pound woman had a broken nose, teeth, collar bone, ribs and multiple bruises and cuts likely caused by fists or feet (from medical examiner’s findings). After she died her chest and abdomen were cut open and some organs were removed (Medical Examiner’s testimony). Part of her heart contained teeth marks, and a piece was missing. In Paul A. Bonacci v. Lawrence E. King [11] the court documents (and a book published by Paul Bonacci’s attorney, ex-senator John de Camp), state that Lawrence E. King organized groups of children to sexually blackmail and compromise politicians and businessmen while serving as Manager of the Franklin Credit Union in Omaha, Nebraska. King had political ties that reached the Presidency of the United States, and he sang at the 1988 Republican National Convention in New Orleans. Paul Bonacci, who suffers from Multiple Personality Disorder (now called Dissociative Identity Disorder) stated that, as a youth, he had been subjected to mind control. He had been transported across the U.S. and was forced to have sex with various people, forced to deliver drugs and forced to participate in Satanic snuff films [12] where Lawrence E. King was present. He identified the Bohemian Grove in Northern California, a well-known gathering/meeting site for politicians, as the location of a Satanic murder, and he had inside knowledge about many Satanic ritual abuse cases around the country that he claimed to be present at. These include a case in Jordan, Minnesota, in which Jim Rod was the only defendant charged, and in Bakersfield, California, another case, in which several individuals were criminally charged for the sexual abuse of children within the context of ritual abuse. Note 1:  There were claims of high-level pressure and threats against those who testified forcing some to recant their testimony. One sexual abuse victim, Alicia Owen, was charged with perjury due to naming the Police Chief, Robert Wodman, as one of the abusers. She served prison time for this charge but was released in 2000. Paul Bonacci claimed that the sex ring that plunged him into Satanism and Mind Control was centered at Offutt U.S. Air Force Base, near Omaha. The main investigator assigned to his case, Gary Cadiori, died in a suspicious plane crash shortly after he took statements from the children. John DeCamp linked Lt. Col. Michael Aquino, leader of the Satanic group, The Temple of Set, to mind control operations. Child victims gave evidence in depth of the roles of Lt. Col. MichaelAquino, “He was long the leader of Army Psychological Warfare Section which drew on his expertise and personal practice in brainwashing, Satanism, Nazism, homosexual pedophilia and murder.” There are many other court cases that could be cited. The above was meant only to be an insight into the proven cases where Satanism was the motivation to do great evil. It is very broad based. The point of this writing is to document through proven sources that Satan is active at many levels, in many ways, to corrupt and lie, destroy and kill us. In Christ (those of us who know Him and have His Holy Spirit within us), if we use His authority, we can and do defeat and shut Satan down. Note 2:  Snuff film—A pornographic movie of an actual murder (the person is actually murdered or commits suicide). In the case of Australian pedophile Peter Scully revealed that he was selling on the dark web films of himself torturing and raping children, but these films do not show him murdering the victims.

Dissociation is a hereditary psychological ability given by God to help us to live with and overcome and not be defined by the trauma of abuse. Because it is generational it runs in family lines. These families are in every socio-economic level, from the most prosperous to the profoundly poor. They are among the most educated to the least. Dissociation in these families crosses all genders. It produces patterns of behavior and moral/ethical practice that transcends the generations. These families can and do try to hide the abuse by living a double lifestyle–public and private. On the other hand, some are blatantly evil in their behaviors and make little pretense or effort to cover it up. At the root of the behaviors is the love of money, power, and authority. They do whatever is necessary to get what they want without concern for the damage done to their victims. To put it bluntly, their motivations are demonic. They are not what they seem to be. The demonic behaviors manifest in their treatment of children. They ritualize their children, usually before four years of age. The earlier the trauma, the more profoundly dissociated the victim will be. They often incest the children. They traumatize them with fear. They abandon, reject, blame and shame them. Their children are dominated by a need to control in order to feel safe and secure and a need to be empowered. At this point, the demons come to them and promise them the power they crave. The evil ones make a crooked deal based on the traumatized one’s obedience to what the demons, spirits of the dead, and ancestral spirits tell them. The children see the evil spirits as their friends. Power and authority in the demonic world are based on doing evil. The more evil one does the more power and authority the demonic ones give. They, of course, never tell the victims that the wages of sin is death. Most people do not like the lifestyle, but there are some who do. This latter group will be what the Old Testament calls belial (worthless individuals). The New Testament calls them people with a reprobate mind, those who love and serve evil and hate God and goodness (Romans 1:18-32).  The warfare that must take place must be fought in the spiritual world. All believers have authority to loose and bind. This is based on the believers’ declaration about Jesus, “You are the Christ the Son of God” (Matthew 16:13-19). This profession is the rock on which the entire church of the Lord is built. To loose means to permit; to bind means to forbid. In the name of the Lord, we may testify that Jesus is the Christ, heal the sick, and cast out demons. Through prayers in the name of the Lord, we exercise our spiritual authority over the evil ones in order to redeem those who are lost and demonized. Therefore, prayer is the key spiritual weapon. Our prayer is based on our personal relationship to the Lord Jesus Christ. The Prayer: In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we pray for all our abused ones by name. We shut down all verbal, emotional, psychological, physical, sexual, ritual, and religious abuse. We attack and shut down all the evil of the alcoholic, drug addicted, sexually addicted, satanist, and dominant/submissive codependent home. Lord, we pray for the afflicted ones and any demonic wounding and oppression for our children as well as grandchildren, children’s children until You come again. May they date and marry men for the women and women for the men who order their lives according to the will of God, the word of God, in the power of Your Holy Spirit, in Your name and for Your glory, Lord Jesus Christ. May they use the word of God for correction, instruction and training in righteousness that the man and woman of God be prepared to do every good work to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua Messiah. We come against all fear, pain and unmet expectations that produce anger, and the stuffed anger that produces rage. We attack, shut down, destroy and bind rage of every type and sort, and kind. We root it out completely. We sever the root from the trunk, the trunk from the branch, and the branch from the bud. It is not permitted in the least to afflict, wound, or destroy. We pray this in Your blessed name, Lord Jesus Christ.  Category:  Norman's Place by  Norman Coad

Boundaries are guidelines, rules and limits, the purpose of which are to be able to relate to one another without hurting or doing damage to one other. They are for protection of ourselves and those who relate closely to us. Some boundaries are societal or global, some are personal. Whatever type they are, the general goal is the same. Boundaries help to define us as a people, and personally, as individuals. Boundaries set limits for each person individually. They make clear the limits of our personal freedom. Boundaries also set limits of appropriate behavior of society as a whole in relation to its citizens. Neither individuals, nor governments, have unlimited freedom. Boundaries set the point at which a limit has been violated. They set the line where societal authority ends and where individual authority begins, and conversely, where individual authority ends and where societal authority begins. For most people, boundaries are absorbed and interpreted from their family of origin. If the family has reasonably good or healthy boundaries, then there is structure that assures love, safety and security, etc. (See the article A Healthy Family Structure an   Interpretation of Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. ) As a rule, the healthier the family, the better the boundaries. The healthier the family, the more functional and well-adjusted the members of the family are. Families marked by poor boundaries often exhibit dysfunctional adaptations to life. When corrupt behaviors, values, thoughts and emotions occur, everyone in the family is afflicted. These faulty adaptations to acute, ongoing dysfunctions result in dysfunctional maladapted individuals. They often project this into the future with ongoing wounding to themselves and those around them. Various types of abuse occur: verbal, emotional, sexual, psychological, physical, ritual or religious. Abuse occurs when basic needs are not nurtured. Negative, critical, faultfinding relationships of perfectionism often occur and do great damage to children. Their self-esteem is not nurtured and they become discouraged. Making age-inappropriate demands does its part to wound as does emotional deprivation and shaming in a chaotic family environment. In order to relate in such a way that we do not hurt someone else and they do not hurt us, we must respect, accept and obey the limits set by others and ourselves. The boundaries set by others for us all are arbitrary. We personally and directly are notgiven a vote in the matter. When we become aware of boundaries, they are found all around us. They are everywhere at the same time and are of many kinds. Arbitrary boundaries are imposed on us by the authority structures governing us. Their purpose is to limit or stop the mayhem that intentionally or accidentally injures others in some way. Their objective is to limit destruction, corruption, evil, wickedness and violence against others. These set outside limits beyond which we are not permitted to go. They are not intended to impose rigid, minute control but allow us individual choice as to how we are to conform to the broad norms of society. One group of arbitrary boundaries are our traffic laws. These are clearly set to protect our lives and are systematically consistently reinforced. For example, a stop sign is always eight sided, painted red and says “STOP.” Its meaning is defined in our traffic laws: “Bring the vehicle to a full stop. Look both ways. When it is clear. Proceed ahead.” Our highways are divided by lanes with painted stripes. We are taught to drive on the right side of the road and stay in our lane except when passing. Daily we pass many cars very closely but do not get hurt. However, if we decide to exercise our personal freedom and drive on the left side of the road, our pain, and the pain of others will go up dramatically. This is a misuse of our freedom and shows very poor judgment. There are speed limits and warning signs as well. All effective traffic limits require that they be reinforced. Police officers are empowered by law to enforce the traffic laws. They write tickets, levy judgments that bring certain negative results on the drivers from fines to revoking their license. This lowers the pain of relating closely. It is a positive outcome. It is not selfish, or a misuse of authority. It is necessary. Another type of law is that which is self-imposed. This is the restraining power of religious beliefs and practices. Traditionally, in America, the religious boundaries are based on the Jewish Scriptures of the Bible. Biblical limits are placed on individual and collective behaviors. The boundaries arise from the very nature of the Judeo- Christian God, Who is three-in-one, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He created us and all that is. The boundaries instruct and discipline us so that we live in harmony with God, nature and ourselves. Everything arises out of a personal, loving, obedient relationship to Him. The Ten Commandments are behavioral and moral limits for we humans to follow. They are universal and transcend the laws of man of every language, nationality and culture. They are for us all. They are a reduction of the Law of Moses into ten principles of healthy living. (Exodus 20:1-17) They state:• Love Me (God) and keep My commandments. • Do not misuse the name of the Lord your God. • Worship the Lord your God. Do not worship idols. If you worship idols, you curse yourself and your generations. • Honor your father and your mother. • Do not murder. • Do not commit adultery. • Do not steal. • Do not lie. • Do not covet. There are many boundaries that limit damage done in interpersonal relationships: Protection of Life • If a man kills someone unintentionally, he is to flee to a refuge place. (Exodus 21:13) • If a man kills someone deliberately—Take him away…and kill him. (Exodus 21:14) • If someone hits a pregnant woman that causing severe damage he is to be fined based on a premature birth and based on the damage done. (Exodus 21:22-25) Protection of Property • If a man steals an animal, he must pay back four to five times its value lost. • If a man’s animal grazes into another man’s field and causes destruction he must restore from the best of his field or vineyard. (Exodus 22:5)• When silver or gold is given to another for safe keeping and it is stolen, he shall be judged and pay back double the loss. Social Responsibility • If a man seduces a virgin who is not married and sleeps with her, he must pay the bride price. (Exodus 22:16-17) • Do not mistreat an alien or oppress him. • Do not take advantage of an orphan or a widow. If they cry out to Me, I (God) will certainly hear and kill you. (Exodus 22:22-24) Laws of Justice and Mercy • Do not spread false reports. • Do not help the wicked man by being a false witness. (Exodus 23:1) • Do not side with a crowd and pervert justice. (Exodus 23: 2-3) Regulations About Infectious Disease • Infectious diseases—Leviticus 13:1-46; 14:1-32. • Unlawful sexual relations—Leviticus 18:3, 4, 6-8; 19:20, 21, 29. • Various laws—Exodus 19:1-37. These were summarized by the Lord Jesus Christ, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments”. (Matthew 22:37-40 NIV) How to Set Boundaries After 430 years in Egypt, most of it serving as slaves, the people of Israel left Egypt and went to Mount Sinai. There the Lord spoke to Moses and began teaching former slaves how to live as freemen and free women in society. He stated their purpose as anation, “You are to be for Me (God) a kingdom of priests and a holy nation (Exodus 19:6). Priests were to be wholly consecrated to His service and be channels of God’s grace to the nations. (Genesis 12:2-3; 42:1-4; 49:8-12; Isaiah 61:6; I Peter 2:5; Revelation 1:6; 5:10; 20:6) [1] The first teachings about boundaries were directives to Moses from God: Go to the people today and tomorrow and consecrate by washing their clothes and abstaining from sex. Be ready for I will come down on Mount Sinai (in fire, thunder and lightning, and a sounding of the trumpet louder and louder and God make. (Exodus 19:16-19) Clear Instructions • Put limits (boundaries) for the people around the mountain. • Tell them, “Do not go up the mountain. Do not touch the foot of it.” • Give the warning, “Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death.” • Put in place the means of enforcement: the offenders shall be stoned or shot with arrows. • This order is in place until the ram’s horn sounds a long blast. Principles of Boundary Setting The purpose of a boundary is to lower the pain of relating closely in community. • Set the boundaries clearly for everybody involved. • When the boundaries are set, expect that someone will violate them. • Set consequences if the boundaries are not kept. (The consequences should fit the offense.) • Set up a means of reinforcing the boundaries by following through with the consequences promised. Be consistent. • When boundaries are set and reinforced you will lose painful, dysfunctional relationships. • When the boundaries are set and reinforced you will gain low pain, functional relationships. Codependency It takes two to make a codependent relationship. These characteristics arose out of study of alcoholic families. In codependent families there are three parts: the user and abuser, the used and abused and the children who live in the family who make dysfunctional adaptations in order to survive. They learn how to live dysfunctionally and they are very wounded. In this section, the emphasis will be on the primary relationship of the user and abuser and the used and abused. These roles may be filled either by men as user and abuser or women. They may even switch roles. However, the more common model is the male in the role of user and abuser. The User and Abuser • They have been used and abused themselves. They are often given to self- medicating with alcohol and drugs and are addicted. • They feel they must dominate, manipulate and control, or their needs will not be met. • Their means of control and manipulation vary from charm, use of sex, to violent aggressive behaviors. • In the codependent life, they have chosen to always win. That means everyone else in the relationship must lose. • They are profoundly self-centered. • They seek and find those who will allow themselves to be used and abused in order to fulfill their own need to control. • They isolate their victims from all support systems they can in order to maintain dominance. • When the victim leaves, the user/abuser feels betrayed and that the victim is ungrateful. He has very low self-esteem. • They blame the victim and almost never see themselves as aggressive users and abusers. • Their denial of all responsibilities for the “break up” is absolute. However, if false contrition will get them back, then they will use it. • After they give up getting the victim back, they seek and find another to take their place. • Some users and abusers are aggressive to the point of physical abuse and kill their victim. • Verbal, emotional, psychological and physical abuse, along with blaming and shaming, are commonplace. • They continually violate and cross healthy boundaries. The Used and Abused Victim • She submits to the user/abuser all or most of the time in order to have relationship. • She either has no boundaries, or very poor boundaries. • The worse the boundaries, the worse the abuse and the greater the pain. • She submits and feels used and abused. • She internalizes the fear, pain and unmet expectations, and rages quietly within. • She rationalizes to maintain the relationship: “He needs me. I can help him an make things better. He really loves me.” • She often self-medicates with alcohol and drugs. • She has very low self-esteem and feels if she does not submit then she will have no one. • Codependent relationships are win/lose. She always loses. There is no balance, no give and take. • The relationship will last as long as she can contain her anger/rage, or to the point where fear, pain and unmet expectations can no longer be endured. She will break off the relationship and leave at this point. The time of being a doormat and being walked on is over (usually only for a while). • She retreats within rigid walls, the purpose of which is to protect herself from being hurt ever again. • She builds the walls of isolation in various ways: by anger, by silence, by leaving and putting physical distance between herself and her abuser. • Rigid walls protect, but they do not provide any means of relating. She becomes lonely. • Loneliness cannot be endured. They may reason, “Any relationship is better than none at all.” • They go back to what they knew and take up the victim role again. The process may be repeated over and over again. • They internalize the thought, “I do not know how to choose good men; I’m a mess. I do not deserve any better.” They often destruct and hate themselves. • They always wait for the abuser to do the right thing. They never, or only after time and great pain, take the initiative to protect themselves and leave the abusive situation. There are only four ways of relating to others. Only one of these is healthy and can be maintained over time. What kind of relationship one has depends on what kind of boundaries one has and that determines the amount of wounding you have. Boundaries in Relationships The four boundaries are: No Boundaries, Holes in Your Boundaries (poor boundaries), Rigid Walls and Reciprocal Boundaries: No Boundaries (win/lose) Others always decide. They are always being hurt. The pain is always extreme. Anger and rage are internalized until the emotional, psychological and physical pain cannot be endured.The relationship is over, at least for a while, and the relationship comes to an end. Poor Boundaries (holes in boundaries) This person usually has good work boundaries but poor personal boundaries. She does not know how or just does not set personal boundaries. They love their work. The boundaries are set for them. They love the structures the boundaries provide, and they feel safe and are able to function well. In their personal life they live like the person with no boundaries. Their personal life is a painful shamble. Rigid Walls This is usually a short-term fallback place of protection from pain. The walls of protection do not allow relationships, only isolation. They become lonely and seek relationship like what they had in the past. They feel acute loneliness, find someone and go to euphoria, repeat the same mistakes, become enraged and pain filled. Then they repeat the whole process over again.The last boundary they learn is the only one that works overtime. It is a permeable boundary: • The person sets and maintains a complete boundary around himself/herself at all times. • Within the boundary is a door that allows relationships when needed and sought after. • The door only has a handle on the inside of the boundary so that the person within has sole authority to open and close the door. • The person within takes authority and assertively maintains the boundary and decides when and for what reason to open the door. They are in charge of their own space. • Accept that the people they relate to have and should have the same authority to maintain their boundaries and relate as they choose as well as they. • They give themselves the right to say “Yes” or “No” without guilt or feeling selfish. They know that this is healthy and normal, not selfish and wrong. • Their relationships are marked by a balance between them of giving and receiving or give and take. • There is reciprocity between them. It is not all give on one side and all receive on the other but giving and receiving that goes back and forth. • They realize that no one is without wants and needs. The relationship is maintained so that those wants and needs are naturally met. • If one always gives and one always takes then the one who gives becomes “mined out” and ends up empty, depleted of emotional, psychological and physical resources.

All people who dissociate have certain characteristics in common: • They have the hereditary ability to form personalities/alters by splitting their personality. • They have all been traumatized by some form of abuse. The abuse may be intentional or unintentional. The trauma arises out of verbal, physical, sexual, emotional, psychological and other traumas. Sexual, physical and Satanic ritual abuse are common. They may be traumatized in the womb, the birthing process, neglect, abandonment or fear, etc. • Many of our heroes are traumatized by work related events: the horrors of war in military, commonly called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, firemen may be traumatized by the fires and horrific accidents they must deal with, police are almost always afraid someone is going to try to kill them. More women are abused than men, at a ratio of about three women for every man, so that DID or MPD is more common in women. • Much of the abuse occurs very early in life in the family of origin. • There is demonization when the person is traumatized by some form of abuse and made to feel powerless, unprotected and isolated. • Their basic trust is all but destroyed. • To the abused, words like “normal,” “right” and “healthy” have been distorted or have no meaning at all. They are the little boy or girl outside the candy store who never get to taste the sweets and can only wish and wonder what “normal” and “healthy” is.• To them, love is always conditional and performance based. This is the only type of love or acceptance they have ever experienced. • Their self-esteem is low. Self-hatred and self-rejection are common. • They are so conflicted within themselves that they do not know who they are. • Their boundaries are poor to non-existent. Dissociative facts of life push life to the extremes. They live in the extremes. Nothing is done in moderation. That is because their separated parts (called “alters” or “personalities”) are programmed by demons, spirits of the dead and workers of iniquity. All alters have limited capabilities. They are, after all, only parts of the whole. It is true of programming, as in all things demonic, nothing is what it seems to be. Deception and lies mark every aspect of programmed personalities. Some of the types of programmed alters are as follows: • The Full Alter —They look like a person with human features and attributes. Within one person there may be males or females, adults, or many children. The alters stop growing psychologically and emotionally at the point of trauma. • Fragments —These are split off parts of the birth personality forming parts of alters. • Fused Alters —These are usually full alters that have been made hollow and are just a mere shell. Evil spirits are put within to control, cause the alter to act out in evil ways. The evil ones are protected from pain by a veneer of human personality. These alters have no life of their own. • False Alters —They are programmed to live so as to confuse, to cover up what is really going on within the individual and his or her system of alters. • Segmented Alters —These alters are split and put into individual partitioned areas of the larger whole. The partitions must be removed before deprogramming can take place and be complete. • Changed Alter —This alter is programmed to be changed in appearance and function— as in a human being changed into a bird or a lion. Changed alters function with the characteristics of the being they have been altered to. Stages of the processare: human state, slivered state (change in process) the transmogrified state. The deprogramming is just the opposite. • Siphon Alter —They are programmed by demons to be conduits that are culturally adapted and linguistically fluent to a particular group. They feel empty within until someone comes and works through them (much like a siphon hose is empty until water flows through it). • Dispersed Alter —They are a whole that has been pulverized into tiny dust particles and blown in all directions. The particle separates and are no longer whole. It is almost impossible to reconstruct and heal these by human effort. Therefore, the Lord has prepared angels to gather up the particles and reform them again. Then, we who work with them, can do the necessary healing and deprogramming. • Laminated Alter —Demons and spirits of the dead are laminated to the alters so that they function as one. The evil ones, stuck to the alters, continually give the alters their demonic thoughts, attitudes, emotions and behaviors until the alters believe they are their own. This is not true but lies, deception and confusion. They, the evil ones, with their demonic thoughts, attitudes, emotions and behaviors are separated from the alter by the “sword of the Spirit” (God’s Word) and the faith and authority of the one working with the individual.[1] Carl Rogers said a long time ago that the major factors that are of primary importance are two: the client and his/her environment and the therapist, their personal knowledge of themselves and their subject matter. This is never more true than when the counselor and the client are working with Dissociative Identity Disorder or Multiple Personality Disorder. The client needs to be willing to deal with the pain of the revelations that arise. They also must decide to trust the counselor. If people never get better under the counselor, change counselors. The counselor should be trained in psychology and counseling. They must also be born-again believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, Jeshua the Messiah. They must be a mature Christian with Bible informed intelligence. They must have an ongoing dialogue with the Spirit of the Lord and be mature in receiving and applying words of knowledge and words of wisdom in the counseling experience. They must be men and women of faith. If they are not biblical supernaturalists, they will not do well. (See The Divided Soul, chapter on Limitations and Cautions, p 31-34.) _____ NOTES 1. N.L. Coad.
