The application of knowledge contained in social orgonomy is vitally important to understand and reverse the social decline that is currently happening in today’s anti-authoritarian world. This includes, among other things, a functional understanding of people’s living from the three layers of their bio-psychic apparatus, the biological core, the destructive secondary or middle layer – the realm of the devil – and the superficial layer or facade. For example, applying this knowledge to social processes makes it possible to evaluate the degree of harm that any politician can do in public office.
Neither the left nor the right have answers to social problems. However, because the political mainstream in America is continually shifting to the political left in our anti-authoritarian social order, leftist politicians are increasingly doing damage to our nation more than ever before. The ideology of today’s left is a secular version of mystical religions of the past. Happiness and freedom will be given by them to the masses of people in the here and now, not in the afterlife as was promised before. The danger is that an increasing number of people today are mystically looking to politician’s for answers. They see nothing of what is hidden underneath, in the deeper destructive, middle layers of the leftist politician’s hunger for power and the helplessness of the masses of people who seek political salvation from them. Their mystical way of looking at people is a dangerous symptom of their ocular armor and it has destructive social consequences.
On the other hand, leftist politicians operating from their destructive secondary layer have perfected the art of politically manipulating the public. All they have to do to be elected is to pretend to be who they seem to be on the social surface and maintain this political persona. Seasoned politicians display confidence that their facade, the face that they present to the public, serves them well politically. Their role of playing a savior is who the clueless public wants them to be. All that is required is a friendly smiling face and a few empty, reassuring words. Think of the larger than human images of Joseph Stalin and Chairman Mao of the past generations. For their part, most of today’s public could care less about who and what their politicians really stand for. The fact that their leaders are political hacks that have accomplished nothing of importance in their careers as politicians means nothing to them.
The destructive effect of the anti-authoritarian transformation of our society is being recognized by many people on both sides of the political spectrum and they are losing confidence in the way our system of government is working. They have no knowledge of what went wrong or how to improve the situation and they are helplessly stuck in their old ways of mechanistic/mystical thinking. Clearly, another way of thinking that corresponds to the way that things work – functional thinking – is required.
