Behaviors
It's about Behavior...
Today, we see a whole lot of problems getting out of hand everywhere - drugs, courts without justice, borders, personal relations, governments that can't "govern" properly, crimes everywhere (just look at the "pharmacy robberies" on the news every single night!), violence everywhere, perversions of all kinds, terrorism, corrupt politics, destructive finances, busted budgets, etc., etc. - are all about Behaviors. Everything that occurs is "about Behavior" today. Think about it. It's the basis of all interactions, and it determines what has happened and what will happen in the future, as well.
The fact that all of the problems we have today are "behavior related" also means those problems are very preventable! If we could study "behaviors" and learn more about how to "behave," we would have far fewer "behavior related" problems than we have today, certainly. If you look closely, most all problems we now have in our present day society...much of which was not present in years gone by, interestingly enough...are at least in a major way caused by "bad behaviors". Bad Behaviors are a choice, and choosing to not "misbehave" is the path out of the nonsense we see escalating all over the world today, is it not? So, it's time to concentrate on the real option we have to "change the behaviors" of those that cause such trouble in our society today. (Don't believe this? Just look at what you see up in Washington, DC today. The childish behaviors are fairly obvious in most of those "playing games" all over your television set, aren't they?) How do we do this? First, we have to "identify the behaviors" we are seeing - accurately & correctly. This is very easy to do once you learn the basics about "what is good and bad behavior"...this being something all People used to be taught in eons past...before we just became the "modern world" of such advanced technology and insanely behaved persons!
Beware of the Delusions in this process. One of the present day issues being perpetrated all over us is just that, too. We have been "dumb-ed down" so well as a society, most of those living in our present day "can't see it" as it happens to themselves, unfortunately! They fall for everything they are told. The media has most in their clutches, much like a con artist can take anyone who "listens" to them, fast! WAKE UP AMERICA! The lies become reality, if you don't question what you hear! It's from a lack of valuing what is true and important that this has come on us, you understand; one has to "value" truth and keep it at thy side...in order to "see things" that are "reality"...my friends. Call it ignorance or call it anti-truth; they're both the same in my book. Not to value the Truth is to allow, and participate in, the literal destruction of our own society! WAKE UP AMERICA! It's happening to us right now!
Almost nowhere is this concept more important than in treating ADDICTIONS. As a Drug Treatment Program, we have developed the accurate skill of "confronting the behaviors" that harm each one of us. (They've certainly harmed the Addict and everyone around them!) It's a daily activity around our office; we spot it, and then we openly "identify it". "The Truth will set you free...but first it'll surely piss you off!" And since this is very true, it tends to cause intense reactions when told, too...beware. But true "healing" comes only through pain, absolutely. It's tough to swallow the truth about yourself; most just won't do it...and that's the problem that will kill us all in the end, too. We also "identify the behaviors" we need to confront, obviously, before we can confront them. This is a skill, and it takes some practice to be adept at doing this. What most don't realize is they play a part in their own dysfunction - say, drug addiction - and this is "visible" by the "behaviors" that one can identify, directly. So often, this "behavioral process" is operating against a person, without them understanding how this works directly against them. So, "identifying behaviors" becomes one of the most important skills any human could gain, we think...if used to help stop the dysfunction and help another begin to heal. We invite you to begin to do this, with us. So many are out there today just "mouthing off" and "rattling" without the first clue what they're saying. Most things done and said are just about "me, me, me" and it is "selfishness" that rules the world today, no doubt. Then there are those "mouthing off" with a clear idea of what they are doing - and why, too - trying to outmanipulate all the rest, while pretending (as long as they can keep the lie going) that "they're innocent" of such manipulations, which for the most part stay hidden - except in behavior! Yep, it's about behavior... If we don't do this as a nation (and I seriously doubt this will ever occur, unfortunately), we are now doomed. For this dire event, the end of America, we are now preparing...quite actually...because today's "behaviors" portend the end for us, I do promise. Why? Hey, you study it and then tell me. It's what's about to happen - to us all!
Drugs are a pandemic in today's society. It's just one more nail in our own coffin now. This causes a dramatic escalation of "bad behaviors" all by itself and, again, it opens the opportunity up for those willing to "get real" (i.e. live in reality - for a drastic change) to be able to change the literal course of human events today. Most will not, we are fully aware of this today, but some can...and so we will try to teach this and "change the world," if possible. It's our only chance, after all. Although I wish it weren't so, our bet is that not enough will "get it" in time to change our destiny on this issue. So sad...
It's not only "drugs" that cause "bad behaviors" today. Society in general is "bad behaved". It's the fact that we seek "Money, Power & Position" instead of "Reality" or the "Good of Others," including "Good Relations" amongst each other...that we see at the root of all our present miseries. We believe we are oh so powerful, beautiful, slick, wonderful - as a whole, it appears to so many - but the truth is we're on a destructive path to our own pre-mature end! That end can rightfully be blamed on "internal dysfunction" related to our own "bad behaviors," the drug issue only accelerating this end coming to us, clearly. We prefer "feel good" and "look good" (by a horrid definition of both) to being "healthy mentally" or maintaining "healthy relationships". Our own character, honesty, moral choices, etc. are but topics in dusty old non-fiction books on antique shelves past. Now, all we seek is "whatever we desire" and "what makes us 'feel good'," no? The bible foretold of this time, long ago. Read 2 Timothy Ch. 3 & 4. Written 2000 years ago - when things weren't as they are today - doesn't this shock you to know it was foretold to end exactly the way it is "happening" today? It should...
More soon...possibly in the book we'll be writing about "Behaviors". It's a shocker, too. Many who think they have operated in secret may just have their own chapter in our book, too!
