Satan As the First Facilitator

After listening to Dean Gotcher for a while I realized
that Satan was
the first "psychotherapist" or facilitator of the dialectic and took
over much of man's fleshly nature, which includes self-esteem as
pride, as Gotcher emphasizes, "the lust of the flesh, and the lust of
the eyes, and the pride of life" I John 2: 16.

The first facilitator's work on Eve is recorded in Genesis 3:1-6
where Satan deceived Eve into disobeying God and eating of the tree of
the knowledge of good and evil. Luke 11:14-27 is almost a verbatim
account of what was said in dialogue between Christ, the Pharisees,
the people gathered there and the woman in verse 27 who said blessed
is the womb and breasts that bore Christ, focusing on the physical or flesh, but also a kind of compromise for the two
factions, Christ and the Pharisees, who he called serpents in other
texts (Matthew 23: 33). This verbal interaction is an example of the
Hegelian dialectic.

The "Facilitator" is a term from the Encounter Group Movement, especially under Carl R

Rogers. 

Preachers can become facilitators of the dialectic since they were
trained in seminaries influenced by Transformational Marxism, or
Stealth Marxism, not seen
by most as a form of Marxism. Preachers into the church growth
movement are especially likely to use the Marxist dialectic.

Most Americans think that the only threat from Marxism is Bolshevism,
which advocated
takeover of governments by violence. Transformational Marxism works
more quietly, gradually taking over all the
institutions of society. To a great extent, Transformational Marxism
has been run by intellectuals in the major American universities. The
counterculture of the sixties and seventies which influenced a whole
generation of Baby Boomers and the leftist political correctness
movement which started at that same time were the initial phases of
the takeover of the institutions by Transformational Marxists. The
media popularized the counterculture and political correctness, which
has been called Cultural Marxism and was Transformational Marxism.

This dialectic procedure for transforming society - the long march
through the institutions advocated by Antonio Gramsci - was first
developed within major American universities within the fields of
psychology and the social sciences.

Theodore W. Adorno, who posed as a personality-social psychologist
doing research on the "authoritarian personality," was lodged in the
University of California at Berkeley. Herbert Marcuse, another
Frankfurter, was first at Brandeis University, and later at
the University of California, San Diego.

The Hegelian and
Marxist dialectic, as developed by the Frankfurt School people posing
as psychologists and by American shrinks like Carl Rogers and Abraham
Maslow, and in the early encounter group, builds up and makes the lust
of the flesh and the pride of life so dominant and valued that Satan
stirred up in Eve in Genesis 3:1-6.

But many who think they are born again because they attend a church do
not have the love of the truth of II Thessalonians 2:10-11, "And with
all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because
they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they
should believe a lie:"

Psychology over-emphasizes and makes all important man's flesh, and
follows or supports the Transformational Marxist bent which wants to
overthrow God as the Father figure and wants to diminish the family
because the traditional family has been the foundation of
Christianity, and its patriatrical paradigm, "it is written," "two
plus two is always four and cannot be another number," etc.

Psychology exalts the flesh of man, especially man's pride, calling it
self-esteem and self-actualization (Rogers and Maslow), above man
created as a living soul.
Psychoanalysis from Freud stressed the flesh and advocated a revolt
against the Father authority figure. Behaviorism in psychology, from
Wundt, to Watson and to B.F. Skinner with his Skinner box psychology
all pointed toward a reduced man who is nothing but desires, feelings
and conditioning. Wilhelm Wundt did not deal with classical
and operant conditioning as did John B. Watson and B.F. Skinner.
Wundt did early work on sensory psychology, which was another form of
psychological reductionism.

Dean Gotcher has studied several other psychologists and psychiatrists
who have helped to develop the dialectic which first came from Hegel.
He has lectures on psychiatrist and group therapist Irvin Yalom,
Erick Fromm, Norman O. Brown and Herbert Marcuse, who is more like a
sociologist than a psychologist.

Benjamin Bloom was an educational psychologist who wrote volumes on
the taxonomies of educational goals. His system has been used in the
certification of all public school and other school teachers for
decades. Bloom was a Transformational Marxist who had great influence
on the American education system - and all this could only happen
because American society is organized in a top-down way, so that the
elites at the top have control over the entire society.

Benjamin Bloom, who wrote the two volume book on the Taxonomy
of Educational Goal Objectives, by which all teachers must be
certified, said "“We recognize the point of view that
truth and knowledge are only relative and that there are no hard and
fast truths which exist for all time and places.” (Benjamin Bloom, et
al., Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, Book 1, Cognitive Domain)

Dean Gotcher found a footnote in Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational
Objectives Book 2, Affective Domain, on the "Weltanschaaung" or world
view Bloom was following. On
page 166 of this volume Bloom acknowledges the influence of Theodore W. Adorno
and Eric Fromm on the psychological theory, philosophy or ideology
contained in his two volumes, Educational Goal taxonomies. Book II
Affective Domain p. 166. Bloom used the German word Weltanschaaung on this
page of his book to refer to the philosophy underlying Bloom's educational goals.

“1. Cf. Erich Fromm, 1941; T. W. Adorno et al., 1950” Benjamin Bloom,
Book II Affective Domain p. 166. This is Bloom's footnote
acknowledging the influence on his thinking from Erich Fromm and
Theodore W. Adorno. Adorno was an original Frankfurter Marxist who
posed as a personality and social psychologist in writing his 1950
book, The Authoritarian Personality, in which he claimed that the
authoritarian personality and fascism are caused by the family and
Christianity. Erich Fromm was a Transformational Marxist psychologist
and close associate of the Frankfurters.

"In the eyes of the dialectical philosophy, nothing is established for
all time, nothing is absolute or sacred." (Karl Marx)

Dean Gotcher says the Mega Church movement cannot
exist without the dialectic church. That is, Psychologized
Transformational Marxism invaded the American church a number of decades
ago. Invading the church was a big part of the "long march through the
American institutions" by "non-violent" or transformational Marxism of
the Frankfurt School as well as from Antonio Gramsci.
