Meaning-makers . . . not

Furman and others says that “Concepts embedded into current practice wisdom become essential notions related to the human condition and focus practice interventions on resolving various social and psychosocial problems”

 Furman adds, “As the profession strives to contend with rapid transformations of the social order brought about by . . . (factors like) complex problems of post-modernity, new concepts are needed to focus the profession on its core values and aims”  The concept that Furman takes into consideration is “meaning” and elaborates on its usefulness. Furman also states that, somewhat insightfully is the existential problem is about meaning, which is pretty obvious to anyone who knows anything about anything. Of course, Furman indicates that humans construct meaning and how special, to be able to do such a thing.  The problem is, constructing meaning is difficult in a world without meaning and individuals who lack meaning or even the possibility of conceiving of meaning. Furman sweetly says that “we find meaning in how we encounter nature and the world around us, how we interact with others, and how we interact with ourselves.”

 This ridiculous chatter goes nowhere because meaning is not a part of human capacities without God. Period!   Social sciences fumbling about trying to endeavor into meaning-making only shows how those is authoritative roles these days (i.e. social workers, psychologists, counselors, and ministers) are the creators of the narratives people live within. As a matter of fact, it is more likely and better suited to notice that these figures are authoritarian when they inject their meaningless hegemonic meaning into our lives.  I am sorry, but meaning is not created by humans.  Science answers how but not why.  Soft science even furthers into stupidity by trying to “construct” meaning. This is the most meaningful meaninglessness that there is, that is constructed by humans.  Ideas that promote emptiness and meaning-making leave people in lonely places.  As Ecclesiastes says that all is meaningless, and everything is emptiness. Jesus is the answer, Lord Adonai. Come, Lord Jesus, and rescue your church from the clutches of the meaningless world and dominion of Babylon, the last bastion where Satan can push ideas upon the people of God..

"Ridiculous chatter"
I'm reminded of the illusionists and eliminativists who warble at length about the absence of not only meaning, but of reason, rationality and consciousness.

Yes I agree that there is a lot of relativism in the air now even in the 60's and 70's, but is this the root of it. Richard Rorty explains that these qualities about meaning making are real and ironically need to be dealt with by humans as a whole. It is a poor sight when people are left to their own devices to find meaning. God help us all.

Let's spread MISINFORMATION

According to the government 2  + 2 = 5  and Math is racist. Let’s spread the Truth, which is misinformation.  Let’s spread misinformation all over the place, in every household, community, city, state, and nation(s).  We will not cave on the matter of Truth, no matter how much they say 2 + 2 = 5. No matter what the Party tried to press upon the mind of Winston Smith (in George Orwell’s “1984”), Smith would not succumb, until the end.  For us we will not succumb to the lies, i.e. truth is lies; math is injustice; truth is unjust and other opposites that are flipped on their heads, and are made into the real lies that they are feeding the world.  The Left is relentlessly programming young children, to young adults, to you. Media process has you under its spell.  Stop watching TV and movies, please.  You will find only lies there.  So let’s spread misinformation, while the government is calling truth to be lies. Government and media are vacuous ...

21st century prophecies

In 21 Lessons for the 21 st Century , the GREAT prophet spoke, saying mockingly, “After all, we are God’s nation, so the argument goes, so what’s good for our nation is pleasing to God.  There certainly are religious sages who reject nationalist excesses and adopt far more universal visions. Unfortunately, such sages don’t wield much political power these days” uttering the excellent, profound, and provocative words, “the handmaid of nationalism is religion” as well, “Religions, rites, and rituals will remain important as long as the power of humankind rests on mass cooperation and as long as mass cooperation rests on belief in shared fiction” and “past experiences of the whole of humanity, will become less reliable guides” “The Zionist story fails to ascribe any meaning to Chinese Empires, to the tribes of New Guinea, and to the Andromeda galaxy, as well as to the countless eons that passed before the existence of Moses, Abraham, and the evolution of the apes” and “eternity is at...

Dirty words

  “Conservative” and “liberal” have been words that have incited arguments (not necessarily fighting) in the 20 th century.   In recent times the word “conservative” has become a dirty/filthy word.   It has indicated “hate” “Hate-speech” “unlovingness” and derogatory terms attributed to it. Conservatives have become the dregs of society, as Hillary Clinton most popularly named them “the deplorables” Another dirty word “Christian” has entered the dictionary of filth.   Are you sick of it?    Some say God is going to rectify this whole cultural mess, others (like me) think that there is too much invisible power invested in taking the West down, as evident in politics and those who feed politicians the sustaining coercive philosophy that will drive Christians into small groups that meet in homes, the Left is powering up for the take-down. Stand firm always and wait to see the salvation of the Lord Adonai More later on words that when given capital letters...
