48. The Greatest System

The previous article showed a non-heretical model for God must explain the WHAT, WHY, and HOW of God’s Nature. The “Three Omni’s” gives an explanation for the effects (WHAT) of God’s Nature, however, every explanation for the WHY and the HOW is contradictory. We’ve seen the “Sovereignty” rationalization is intended to avoid having to explain the WHY and HOW of God’s Nature. We saw Right(eous) and Just(ice) give a non-contradictory explanation for the WHAT and WHY of God’s Nature. This post is going to cover the HOW of God’s Nature: God’s Will and HOW He remains Right and Just.

The end of the Bible gives God’s Will: Church and Marriage. If you read the last four chapters of Revelation it is clear: “Good” people make up the Bride which is married to Jesus on the new earth. Another way to look at this is: the meaning of life is fulfillment from finding one person you can Love who will Love you back AND finding a group of people you can Love who will Love you back. We have already shown this results in a Joy AND a Happiness you can never get used to for eternity.

The issue is HOW does God remain Right and Just while bringing about this Will. Does God act as a first cause and make it happen? Would that be Right? Would that be Just? NO and NO. Any depiction of God as being able to initiate His Will on other beings would make Him NOT humble (Contrastive Thinking ) and there are NO examples in the Bible of God initiating His Will after the first chapter in the Bible!

Genesis 2 began with God resting and nowhere in the Bible does it say that day came to an end! The definition of rest is “cease from the occupation of being a first cause”. The reason He had to do that is He created Humans and declared them to be the first cause! It would be a contradiction for Him and Humans to both be first causes!

After Genesis 1, God responds to everything through Right and Just! There is no way for God to be Wrong or Unfair if He doesn’t initiate anything! Everything that people read in the Bible after Genesis 1 is an account of God always responding through Righteous and Justice. This is the ONLY non-contradictory explanation for the WHAT, WHY, and HOW of God’s Nature and it is self-evident. Let me be clear…

The Universe responds through Justice/Karma regardless of the religious beliefs of everyone involved.

In fact, the utter incomprehensibility of this approach PROVES no Human created this Truth! It’s even difficult for religious leaders to comprehend the explanation without triggering! For example, see if you can resolve these “mysterious” issues.

-If God is all-powerful, why is there Evil? Is it because God wants Bad things to happen?

Answers: God does not want Bad things to happen and there is Evil in the world because people are the first cause (Conjunctive ). That’s why the wrong definition of “All-Powerful” leads to heresy. God creates. Evil destroys. Evil depends on God because it needs something to be created in order to destroy it. God doesn’t need Evil. Which do you think is more “powerful”?

Next week, we will complete this four article mini-series by looking at our role in bringing about God’s Will since we are the first cause. For now, the first implication of this non-contradictory model for God is the model for Salvation. (I will provide a contact at the end of this article for those who want to look at any Biblical concept more deeply.) The efficient explanation: Hebrews 4 explained that Salvation comes to those who “rest” in the same way God rested! We’ve already seen the Pharisees didn’t understand the Fourth Commandment concerning resting on the Sabbath. That Commandment showed people could be a first cause for six days as long as they didn’t break the law (Conjunctive ) and on the seventh day they could only do what God’s Word told them to do (Conjunctive ), which is resting!

What’s interesting is people use the following passage to explain Salvation:

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. (Ephesians 2:8,9)

This would require people to define “faith” and “grace”! We’ve already covered “faith ” and seen pastors were unable to define it in a way that people could intentionally grow in faith. What about grace?

The most popular definition of grace is “unmerited favor” which was created by Martin Luther about 500 years ago. Actually, “unmerited favor” is closer to the definition for “love” and the Greek word for “unmerited favor” is not the Greek word that gets translated as “grace”. In “Modeling God”, I shared the definition of “grace” from a concordance:

CHARIS, 5485 "the divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in the life"

This is the same process that was happening on the Sabbath during the Fourth Commandment: people were letting the written Word of God direct their actions and be seen in their life! It is Right and Just for God to ask us to give up being a first cause and let Him direct our actions because He first gave up being a first cause! Again, every other explanation is contradictory and immediately obvious to everyone.

Several verses show Jesus did EVERYTHING by letting God do it through Him by the Holy Spirit and He did NOTHING as a first cause, that is, as a work He could be credited with as being the source! (John 8:28; Philippians 2:6...hmm, Was Jesus’ focus on knowing everything?)

Notice, the effect of being Right and Just is a person would LOVE. However, when people only look at the WHAT of Love (giving without expecting anything in return ), they can end up Enabling or Abusing others because of the WHY or HOW! God always Loves, however, it may not look like Love if you don’t understand the HOW of God’s Nature. So, the term that helps people understand the Conjunctive of this “love” is “lovingkindness”. (“Kind” actually means “without contradiction”!) So, loving kindness is the Love that lacks contradiction; it isn’t enabling and it isn’t abusive. When the Bible says “God is love”, it is at the beginning and end of a proof that walks through the WHAT, WHY, and HOW of God’s Nature to show the Effect is the non-contradictory WHAT, WHY, and HOW of Love!

How did religious leaders respond to “Modeling God”?

DISCLAIMER: The response to “Modeling God ” could be its own book because the events are so outrageous, people don’t believe the story until they go online and/or read the emails. What I’m sharing here is the main chain of events broken into three time periods: "Engage", "Forgive", and "Walk Away". However, let me first begin with a Dr. Hawkins quote:

“Subtle grades of subclinical depression kill more people than all the other illnesses of mankind combined.” ("Power vs. Force" by Dr. David Hawkins)

A woman read the manuscript and was cured of her seven year depression . Her pastor was so upset, he began a slander campaign stating only the devil is able to get results that fast. This pastor of a “charismatic” church sent a copy of his twenty-page refutation of my book to all the pastors within a fifty mile radius of where I lived. His refutation had more than 200 factual inaccuracies. He refused to meet with me or answer any of my questions through email even though I answered all of his questions. His main issue was I was using “psychology”, which he considered to be heretical.

Members of a large church were reading the manuscript and helping others with their depression issues. The pastor of this large church refused to meet with me and he worked with the charismatic pastor to get a group of pastors to publicly condemn “Modeling God” without reading it! Meanwhile, people in his church were getting cured of their depression .

Eventually, the charismatic pastor delivered a threatening letter to me while accompanied by a pastor of a small church and I was able to get the pastor of the small church to agree to read “Modeling God” and tell me what was wrong with it. When I met with him, he said there was nothing heretical or wrong with the content; he didn’t like the tone and couldn’t point to any specific passage.

For two years, the charismatic pastor had a website with a url that was a personal attack on me. Despite people in his own congregation asking him to take it down, he refused. Eventually, I had a lawyer write him a letter to explain Wisconsin’s statute on “defamation”.

Wisconsin Law defines defamation as a statement that:

1. is false

2. is communicated to a third person, and

3. tends to harm the reputation of another as to lower the person in the estimation of the community or deters others from associating or dealing with the person.

He committed 200 false statements and was communicating to numerous third parties! The lawyer cited the url as proof he intended harm and he took it down the day he got the letter! When word got out these pastors had been breaking the law for two years, all of them began denying they had any involvement in the matter and then privately emailed me saying they would sue if I shared the abusive emails they had sent me, claiming they were “confidential”.

The issue is defamation can best be defined as “secret detraction” (Conjunctive !). You can say something positive about another person to a third party. You can say something negative to the person. However, you cannot say something negative (and untrue) about a person to a third party in private with the goal to harm the person. There is a word in the New Testament that means “secret detraction” and it is interpreted as “whispering” or “gossiping” and not only is it a sign the person is an unbeliever, in the Old Testament (Proverbs 6:19) it was called an abomination to God. Do you think people who commit abominations to God are believers?

The pastor of the large church told people he was waiting for the statute of limitations (two years) to expire, while it looked like all the other pastors were doing the same thing. However, a couple of guys in their 20’s met with him to encourage him to meet with me. This pastor of the large church wouldn’t even agree to ONLY letting me introduce myself and shake his hand...and then immediately leave. It seemed he wanted to keep me as a nonperson in his mind. These guys noticed how easy it was to argue with the pastor because he would never give an explanation for what he believed when he was asked. He would give the guys books, videotapes, CD’s, and even movie tickets to see someone else’s answer to their questions. He even had a personal relationship with a famous author from Europe who wrote about how the questions about Evil in the world couldn’t be answered! I wrote the author and asked him if he would read “Modeling God” to tell me how it doesn’t answer the questions he wrote about. He refused to read it.

In August 2011, one of the two guys was in marriage counseling. When my name was brought up, the counselor (who worked for the large church) said he had never heard of me. At the next meeting he said, “There are over a thousand people in the valley who are talking about this issue!” He continued by saying he brought it up to the pastor and was told the author in Europe had read my book and said it was heretical!

While I was on the phone hearing this story from the guy in marriage counseling, I emailed the author and asked him why he read “Modeling God” and didn’t discuss it with me. Almost immediately, I got a response saying he had never read it. I responded by telling him the pastor is telling people he said “Modeling God” is heretical. Within twenty-four hours, I got an email from the pastor asking me why I bothered the author with this!

My last interaction with this pastor of a large church was on 8/23/2011. I told him he is actually hurting others in his attempt to hurt me. He said he would continue to stop people from coming to me (and people associated with me) to get help with their depression . I was done engaging with these pastors.

A couple of years later, a friend of mine began a church that was focused on helping people hurt by church. A statistic came out about the valley (which is now true across the United States): there are more people who had attended church but don’t go now than there are people in church! This church’s mission is “Refuge, Restoration, Repair” in the hopes people will become leaders, most likely by leaving and going to other churches.

In June 2014, a friend of mine asked if I would meet with a pastor who was contemplating suicide. I did. Once the pastor was over his depression and suicidal ideations, he asked if I would teach a class to the men in his church. I asked my pastor friend to accompany me and we began the course with over twenty men in October of that year. We knew the course was a success when women would thank us for all the work we did and we recognized their last name when they introduced themselves.

On June 25, 2015, the charismatic pastor and an older pastor called a meeting in Winchester, Wisconsin (Population: 383). They invited people from the church we helped and proceeded to denigrate the former suicidal pastor as well as me. An attendee asked the charismatic pastor his definition for “grace” and he answered by attacking me. The attendee asked again and the charismatic pastor said there is no definition! It was at that point I began the walk away phase.

Think about it. A pastor is attacking me for helping another pastor not commit suicide and he is intentionally preventing people from understanding Salvation. What I realized is these “Christian Leaders” were trying to “win”, which meant they thought they had to be Right . They essentially confused being Right with being Righteous (sinless). Since the Truth is self-evident, they were going to be proven Wrong whenever they attacked the Truth. From a pure “game theory” perspective, if their goal is to win and they can’t be Right, their only option is to tear me down. “Hey, nothing personal, I’m just trying to win.”

Worse, when they attacked me, I wouldn’t defend myself and these pastors would say my lack of defense PROVED I was wrong and they would be more energized to attack me. Apparently, they didn’t recognize what Jesus stated was the proof of attaining the highest level of spiritual maturity: Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. (Matthew 5:11-12)

The problem is, they were losing their Salvation in the process and it would be my fault if I continued to interact with them. The same thing happened to Jesus and Paul. They stopped interacting with the religious crowd when their interactions made the religious crowd become hypocrites and we’ve covered this before : Jesus said hypocrites end up in hell.

Sin is an interesting topic that instantly shows a person’s lack of understanding. For example, Jesus said this: If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. (John 15:22)

Notice, asking someone their definition for something they are attacking me for is more than an unconscious confrontation . If they don’t have an answer AND they judge me for being wrong, they no longer have an excuse for their Evil behavior.

On Labor Day weekend 2017, I moved more than 100 miles away from the valley. The charismatic pastor had moved out of state and was a life coach advertising on a Psychology Today website. On December 5, 2017, the pastor of the large church committed suicide. He had suddenly become depressed three months before and despite getting help from people on his staff, he took his own life.

Why is all of this important? I believe one more story will bring clarity to this mini-series.

Flowcess? went public with our mind-brain model in 2016. Two years later, I was teaching it to a brilliant and innovative executive who was attempting to build his own consulting company. Throughout our meetings he would continually encourage me to check out various legends in the corporate consulting world and I would be able to show him how each was hurting people in the long term by treating people as Robots who would end up depressed in the long term. However, in July 2018, he encouraged me to check out Dr. Russell Ackoff.

As you’ve seen with the previous posts, I was an instant fan. He was a Truth Savant who illustrated everything I was doing in short comprehensible stories, while I was able to intentionally get the results he desired. This executive told me he met Dr. Ackoff when a former company of his hired Dr. Ackoff to give a series of presentations. He even thought he still had the notes from the presentations...somewhere.

I watched EVERYTHING available and bought Dr. Ackoff’s masterpiece “The Art of Problem Solving”. However, I noticed that while he died in 2010 at the age of 90 years old, the freshest thing he stated was in 1994: “It’s better to do the right thing wrong, than it is to do the wrong thing right”. One of the proofs that this is the most challenging thing he ever said is I wrote an article about it and it has by far the least activity of any of my articles. People don’t like the Truth in a concentrated form! Everything after 1994 is just a rehash of his prior “hits” and he is not a person who would stop pushing the envelope of Truth. What happened?

In March 2019, the executive told me he had found his Ackoff notes! I told him I couldn’t wait to see them and he asked me what I expected from them. I told him Ackoff and I have a very similar Uniqueness and if someone hired me to present, I would deliver all my “hits” and then I would give a talk on a model I was working on in order to get feedback. I wanted to know what he was working on because I figured he was trying to model the mind-brain! After all, he had left off his progression of greater systems looking at behavior…

Science -> Problems -> Innovation -> Business -> Education -> Behavior -> ?

...and the next greater systems are thought process (brain ) and Uniqueness (mind)!

The executive gave me the file and in it were his hand-written notes in three stapled packets. The first one consisted of eight pages and contained “hits”. The second one consisted of eight pages and contained “hits”. The third one consisted of two pages and was dated 10/15/99. By the time I got to the bottom of the first page I knew I found what I was looking for and immediately said, “Can I make a copy of this?!?!” What did I see?

Dr. Ackoff was still working on business by focusing on the “Corporation” which was in the middle of a line forming a spectrum. The left end of the spectrum was labeled “Science” and had the following explanation: “Newton - Universe Machine”. This made sense. Science is a tool for determining Truth and it represents the Analysis step. The label on the right would be the greater system and represent the Synthesis step creating the Conjunctive for Business and it was the label on the right that brought a smile to my face and tears to my eyes.

Dr. Ackoff, in the fashion of a true legend in the field of systems thinking , wasn’t wasting his time looking at the next greater system. He was looking at and trying to model the Greatest System! He had identified it and believed that the person who could model that system could model every system in between. Not only that, his approach showed the person who could model the Greatest System would be the only person who could model all the systems in between in a fashion that would not only transform the nature of business, but would transform the world. What kind of person would attack someone who had the specific steps for Dissolving the suffering in our world?

What was the key to improving our world? What was the problem Dr. Ackoff spent the last sixteen years of his life trying to Solve? What was the label on the right? “God”

Dr. Russell Ackoff proved to me I am a Truth Savant! Everything I alone have been able to model comes from being able to model the Greatest System. Now I know why I can prove anyone right or wrong regardless if the issue is leadership , business, the role of men, the role of women, the interaction of women and men, how to end Racism and Sexism , etc. I take everyone’s model out to the Greatest System where every contradiction dies and only Truth survives. (If you think this is bragging, then I know you haven't read the two articles where I share what it feels like to know the Truth and be an inventor .)

Every person that has opposed me is responsible for preventing the world from getting these answers for the last thirteen years. They are guilty of injuring every person who would have been helped by this information in the last thirteen years…

...but we will look at that next week.

For now, we have specifically covered how Dr. Russell Ackoff publicly presented a progression of systems from smallest to greater that looked like this:

Science -> Problems -> Innovation -> Business -> Education -> Behavior -> ?

Ackoff would say the rest of this progression looks like this:

Business -> Education -> Behavior -> Brain -> Uniqueness -> Purpose -> God

The reality is God is the smallest system!?

Remember the definition of a system? It’s a whole that can be separated into parts. God can’t be separated and consists of Right and Just, which aren’t two parts. They are a quantitative and a qualitative measure for holy, which means “of one substance”!

The biggest system is actually God’s Will!

People who think God is the biggest system think He’s outside of His Will and wants to remain outside of it.

However, God wants to spend eternity INSIDE His Will interacting with others!

Einstein said, “I want to know what God is thinking. The rest is just details.”

Einstein wanted to know God’s Will because it completely determines everything else. Here’s a link to a video where I explain this: The Answer to the Only Question Einstein Cared About

The real progression that Ackoff was (and all of us are) looking for is:

God -> Science -> Problems -> Innovation -> Business ->

Business -> Education -> Behavior -> Brain -> Uniqueness -> Purpose -> God’s Will

I work for Flowcess? and I only go as far as Uniqueness, which is half of Purpose. (Remember, we saw how your purpose is an effect of your Uniqueness and the mission of the system you are in.) If ANYONE wants to discuss (eternal) Purpose or God’s Will, I have two resources they can contact because I don’t want to be responsible for anyone becoming a hypocrite and losing their Salvation. These two resources are:

Purpose: Jonathan Fries

God’s Will: Joel Swokowski

I will help people find their purpose in every system except the Greatest System. Flowcess? will not discuss religion. (We have seen talking about Causality is the key to curing depression by realizing "God" Exists because Causality states a First Cause has to exist. We will talk about Causality.)

Besides, I intentionally avoid talking about religion so anyone who attacks me is in danger of breaking the law, if they aren’t careful. However, we will see next week, people who attack me end up wishing I would sue them instead of what I actually do.

Are you one of the 1% of people who WANTS the Truth? These articles are a book on Generativity: the ability to apply Tension?without Abuse?in order?to Replicate. (A nested Conjunctive!) If you are interested in going on this journey of Generativity, the first chapter is here:?Do You Really Want To Improve Mental Health?

The following is intended for people who either say they base their life on the Bible or know people who say they base their life on the Bible...

What is the proof that a person has been transformed?

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2)

The transformed person can prove what is the Will of God! (The HOW of God's Nature!)

I love to ask pastors if it would be okay to misinterpret the meaning of their words to their congregation? When they say “no”, I ask them: “Do you think God is okay with you misinterpreting the meaning of His Words to your congregation?”

The issue is pastors not only can’t explain God and Salvation, they intentionally avoid explaining it! Isn’t that why people come to church and tithe? I summarized the issue in “Modeling God” using the concept of the “Henderson 4000”:

I love to tell people how much I love my new Henderson 4000. I relate to them how it makes my life easier, gives me more free time, and makes me happy. When an audience member asks, “What is a Henderson 4000?” I respond by relating more of the benefits: it is convenient, it comes in many colors, it doesn’t need a lot of maintenance, etc.?

This exchange will continue until someone tells me he doesn't think a Henderson 4000 exists. At this point, I will ask him why he doesn't believe in a Henderson 4000. The typical response is, “Because you can’t explain what it is!”

At this point, I like to establish two facts. First, I get agreement that the more I talked about the Henderson 4000 in an abstract fashion without understanding, the less likely he believed in it. Secondly, I show the only way I could get someone to believe in the existence of the Henderson 4000 would be on a purely emotional basis. It is at this point I ask the audience, "How is the Henderson 4000 any different from God and salvation?"

Currently, the majority of those who do believe in Christianity did so because they were emotionally drawn. This is because Christianity, along with every other religion, is presented in an emotional fashion. However, this is not righteous and just. God’s true Nature would stand apart from every other belief system because it could be understood and explained objectively.

There are plenty of leaders who believe they are giving an objective explanation of Christianity, but their explanations are contradictory to other leaders who also believe they are giving an objective explanation. This would be analogous to two or more people quoting facts about the Henderson 4000 to an audience simultaneously, but each person’s presentation would seem to contradict the other presentations. The result would be the same; audience members don’t believe the Henderson 4000 exists because no two people can agree on what it is.
