That's what matters for me/us in providing the materials of this blog.</p><p>Let's start with the "why" behind what I write hete</p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">The fact that there are two main schools of thought on emotions that might be considered central when trying to understand the divisiveness of our Congress -- might lead some of us to explore some new and improved options for approaching some of our near ceaseless </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">deadlocked situations in that arena and right back into your backyard your living room -- and your bedroom.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Curious? Read on.</span></p><p>For an expanded discussion on how to and what to do we will return later. NH ZOP has plans in the making, our drop in the bucket strategies, now in progress.</p><p>Long time coming.</p><p>For now our objectives are still in the blueprint stage. Our focus directed to the notion that...</p><p>One school of thought holds that our emotions are essential guideposts for daily living. That's the perspective most apt to contribute to genuine problem solving, problem solving taking in human essentials at their most comprehensive.</p><p>Much like buying into the need for masking, social distancing and VACCINATIONS to fight off the spread of covid-19.</p><p>The other school of thought on emotions postures that emotions are bothersome aspects of humanity that must done away with as quickly as possible. The constituent denying mask mandates of Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida are an example of this.</p><p>Your concerns that your child might contract the covid-19 virus while attending school simply do not exist.</p><p>As many of us recognize, particularly adherents of the first school, all sorts of communication breakdowns and hostility are bred from this dissonance of perspective.</p><p>What might this mean? And how might the facts of the matter be reconciled?</p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">In <a href="https://www.businessballs.com/building-relationships/transactional-analysis-eric-berne/">Transactional Analysis (TA</a>) we call the circumstances that bring this divisiveness about <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Games_People_Play_(book)">DISCOUNTING</a>, the process of minimizing or ignoring data that is relevant to an </span>individual, a situation or the solving of a problem. </p><p>Gaslighting is one extreme example of this phenomenon called discounting. In this scenario, a conscious, determined effort to dismiss what another person's emotions and judgment hold to be true, is made with the intention of undermining the other's person's confidence and reliance on their own personal perceptions.</p><p>Most discounting is unconscious, however. The initiator, typically unaware of the process in motion. We all do this some of the time, even the most conscientious of us, devoted to our complete-as-possible devotion to fact finding.</p><p>Conversely, at its <a href="https://ellesmerecentre.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Cathexis-and-Passivity-Zoom-Trainee-Copy-2.pdf">most extreme, discounting is the manifestation of psychosis.</a> </p><p>More frequently, discountiing goes on behind the lying and denial we see today, prevalent in our culture, used, most destructivly as justification for violence, along with other deviousness.</p><p>"How do people get this way?" Groder puzzled over the prisoners he worked with in his early days at Marion Federal Penetentiery, leading to his establishing the Asklepeion Therapeutic Community there, eventally known to have the lowest recidivism rate in federal corrections, circa late 1960s.</p><p>If I were to ask him again, as I did back in the early '80s, "How do our politicians get this way?, he'd probably tell me again, as he did before --</p><p>"Convicts and High Leadership People" (HLP) often have the same basic personality structure. However the former, the convicts, play out the dramas of their lives with antisocial rules, grounded in ignoring only the most useful of information, while the former, the HLPs, play by commonly accepted social rules. In this way, they are rewarded by society.</p><p>Gains not necessarily made ethically. But so what?

<b style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><u><br /></u></b>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><u>Chapter One: Overview, Circa 1991</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><u><br /></u></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b style="text-decoration-line: underline;">Surviving (Adrenalin) Addictions</b></span><b style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><u>: <i>Transforming The Rebellious/Survivor Inner Child</i></u></b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">, circa 1991, was written, originally for the addiction recovery genre, with an emphasis on <b>non-ingested chemical addictions</b> (i.e. relationship and personality addictions) with a special focus on the collusion between the passive addict, or co-dependent personality, and the aggressive or power addicted personality.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This original text, virtually unedited, begins in Chapter One with a discussion of the rampant personal alienation most addict-types experience that <a href="https://darksidewarrior.blogspot.com/p/survivingadrenalin-addictions-book-one.html">thrusts the underlying forces of their addict-function living into the overdrive of survival instincts out of control</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Taking issue with the commonly held view that <b>chemical addiction</b> is solely-based on a disease, <a href="https://anastasiastoryteller.blogspot.com/p/anastasias-bio-update-2.html">Ms. Rosen-Jones</a> and her former mentor, psychiatrist <a href="https://darksidewarrior.blogspot.com/p/martin-g-groder-md.html">Martin G. Groder, M.D.,</a> the original architect of the <a href="https://darksidewarrior.blogspot.com/p/grad.html">Groder-Rosen Addiction Development theory (GRAD)</a>, seek to establish an alternative, biologically-based perspective for understanding what the GRAD theory identifies as a survivor/addict personality that, in their shared opinion, offers a differing </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">perspective regarding the diagnosis and treatment planning for this personality type that may be regarded as more of a health model rather than a disease model.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><u>The Prologue</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Drafted, initially, when Ms. Rosen-Jones was in her mid-forties the "Prologue" presents a picture of a rather naive Marcia/Anastasia, albeit a budding and brilliant scholar, that held Dr. Groder in such high esteem as to have, unfortunately, positioned her for the power abuse and sexual harassment by Dr. Groder that was to, eventually lead the Groder-Rosen collaboration to its painful demise in 1990, eventually resulting in Ms Rosen-Jones filing an ethics charges in 2018 regarding these inappropriate and damaging actions on his part with the International Transactional Analysis Association (ITAA) of which they were both members, Dr. Groder as Marcia/Anastasia's supervisor, she as his trainee.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Prologue, while rather embarrassing to me (Anastasia) at this late date, is of note today, from a historical perspective, given the commencement of Ms Rosen-Jones' student-teacher relationship with Dr. Groder while she was in her 39th year when it began and he was already internationally known as an ITAA Teaching Member as well as a prominent expert for his work in establishing the <a href="https://anastasiastoryteller.blogspot.com/p/anastasias-bio-update-2.html">Asklepeion Therapeutic Community Model</a> within the Federal Corrections system (Scroll down on the wikipedia page to section on U.S.). </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Preliminary discussions among us suggest that what we will endeavor to do will be rich and rewarding in its process, personally and on behalf of the two non-profit organizations I have founded, </span><a href="https://zonesofpeacenh.blogspot.com/2019/12/new-horizons-board-launches-new-non.html" style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">New Horizons Support Network, Inc. and the Small “Zones of Peace” Inc.</a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Given that I have always assumed that if forward progress was to be made on this aborted publishing project of mine, due to my becoming blind in 1998 through 2006, just as I was in the final phase of editing for release, I envisioned the effort as a completely solo act on my part. So, my board members unexpectedly joining me, is quite the blessing!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For now, while we will keep our eyes on our intended destination, hard copy publication, we will not neglect to luxuriate in the magnificence the <b>process</b> will bring us. Our intentions will, however, never veer away from our more altruistic motivation to offer from a certain knowledge base, all of that which has gone into the development and application of the GRAD theory, developed initially by Marty Groder and expanded beyond by myself, Anastasia.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">While we are setting off on the adventure of our Mss Study Group, board members will be considering if and how we might share both our journey and the original, unedited manuscript in the service of benefiting our interested online readers and other followers of our New Horizons/Small "Zones of Peace" programs and projects.</span>New Horizons Support Network and "Small Zones of Peace" Projecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14223006542242676146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846415684358459311.post-35264680216339434802019-05-06T10:09:00.000-07:002020-02-07T06:39:34.249-08:00 Telling The Truth: An Essay<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><b>Introduction</b></i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Most of us like to think we are fairly honest. In fact, the majority of people believe they are quite committed to their personal integrity. If and when someone questions our honesty or truthfulness, we are usually offended, even self-righteously ANGRY,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><a href="https://darksidewarrior.blogspot.com/2018/04/no-not-me-metoo-and-issue-of-male.html">“Oh, no, not I!! LYING???!!</a></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One "verifiable truth," however, according to the advanced <a href="http://itaaworld.org/">Transactional Analysis</a> research and theories, the <a href="https://darksidewarrior.blogspot.com/p/grad.html">GRAD theory</a>, of <a href="https://darksidewarrior.blogspot.com/p/martin-g-groder-md.html">Dr. Martin G. Groder, M,D.</a> and <a href="https://anastasiastoryteller.blogspot.com/p/anastasias-bio-update-2.html">New Horizons Executive Director and Founder, Marcia E. Rosen</a> (see The Voice Of New Horizons, Volume #1, #1, Spring, 1985), is that the majority of people in our contemporary society are so frequently <a href="https://zonesofpeacenh.blogspot.com/p/survival-driven-behaviors-are-instead.html">driven by survival imperatives</a> other than honesty, integrity and truthfulness that <b><span style="color: red;"><i>truth-telling often lies far down on the list of priorities. </i></span></b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sometimes, in fact, truth-telling and its companion, truth-listening, are actually viewed as the antithesis to survival necessities, too cumbersome, too distracting from one's greater goals.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So why bother taking the time to be genuinely straightforward</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>

As </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">a result we are accustomed to getting by on minimal, half-truths, accepting that this is adequate.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<b>If, however, as individuals and interconnected communities, we are content to accept this state of affairs, wherein half-truths, white lies and even bold-faced lies are acceptable, we are actually limiting our "civilized" capabilities, operating <a href="https://darksidewarrior.blogspot.com/2014/11/whoever-is-not-aware-of-this-force.html">a bit more savage </a>than we like to think of ourselves as doing and being. </b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>What's your take? </b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>And is your "truthful" answer to that question, consistent with <span style="color: red;">how you genuinely live your life?</span></b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If we pause long enough to examine this situation -- as it is today -- we might discover that the cost of the quiet, the holding back, the coloring of facts and the lack of being more transparently forthcoming, all of which distort full reality, may be costing </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">more than we truly wish to pay.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">From this vantage place, we might see that the proliferation of non-truths is potentially at great cost to us, as citizens, if we look closely at what is accepted as "fact,"</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> in us and around us -- because we have not made telling the truth important enough as a personal responsibility.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous suggest -- "<span style="background-color: white; color: #3c4043; font-size: 14px;">We thought we could find an easier, softer way... (meaning without sobreity), but...</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #3c4043; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #3c4043; font-size: 14px;">The same applies to becoming a dedicated truth-teller which should not come as a surprise. For example. I discovered in my professional work, especially in my role as GAME Conductor, that truth-telling, truth-listening and even full truth-knowing (i.e. being optimally conscious) does not come with ease to the MAJORITY of people.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #3c4043; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #3c4043; font-size: 14px;">So much so that non-truth telling is almost addictive to many, if not most, people.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On the other hand, many have made being disturbed by the lies others tell of great concern, such as the finger-pointing of the anti-Trumpers.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our current president has certainly brought the flagrant disregard for truth-telling to the fore for many people presently.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">However to do this finger-pointing at Trump while omitting the responsibility each and everyone of us has for, also telling the truth, leaves personal accountability out of the equation for solving the problems of lying and corruption in our society, making a joke of the drama playing out daily on the American stage, socially and politically.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We will look at these issues here, over time, "G-d willing and the creek don't rise."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the essay that follows, I will present perspectives on the topic of truth-telling, originally based on my training and supervision with both Dr. Groder and<a href="http://walkingthroughthewalls.blogspot.com/2009/11/chapter-2.html"> Ken Windes, a prominent, rehabilitated convict</a>, now deceased, who was, also, Marty’s protegee and my mentor, teaching me the technology to become the <a href="http://zonesofpeacenh.blogspot.com/2010/07/preparing-for-adventure.html">Master Conductor</a> of the <a href="https://zonesofpeacenh.blogspot.com/p/about-new-horizons-truth-or-dare-game.html">New Horizons Truth Or Dare GAME</a>, intent on getting at the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, as an essential pathway to transformation. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Beginning with the extensive and intense guidance and training these two men afforded me, I have, since, come to believe that “telling the truth” is the <a href="https://anastasiastoryteller.blogspot.com/p/coaching.html">essential foundation, practically, theoretically and strategically, for treating dysfunction</a> in individuals, relationships, communities, businesses and organizations – and – even a nation, that these may all be return to a basic state of health, well-being and the potential for evolving to their highest capacities.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Truth-telling is one essential in critical problem-solving.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">How can we, as a nation of "civilized people,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> ignore that piece of truth and thrive??</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Ask yourself!</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Discuss it with your friends, family and neighbors.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">That's what we are doing more and more, each day, at New Horizons as our Truth Or Dare GAME takes center stage in programs and projects and, on a regular basis, as <a href="https://zonesofpeacenh.blogspot.com/2018/11/perks-for-board-members-new-horizons.html">a grounding strategy for our Board of Directors that is regularly using as a grounding strategy</a>. </span></span><br />
