132 Other Words For Granted Syndrome

May 29, 2006 Dear Editor in Chief, Then a scholar asked: “Could you more explain what is “other essential words are for granted” syndrome?” ….then the A.I. answered a long explanation as usual; and this time with a story: “Example- there was a ‘smart housing’ that all things were prefabricated. Or all structures were just assembled using nuts and bolts and screws and pins, unlock & lock mechanical systems. As an assembled whole, the prefabricated ‘smart housing’ was fully furnished and beautiful to look at and beautiful to live or to stay. The owner of the ‘smart housing’ had the step by step procedures on how to disassemble and to assemble those parts, fixtures because each part had label for easy following the step by step procedures called ‘the manual’. The owner of the ‘smart housing’ decided to make an experiment on how words really can influence the brain of ordinary men with in a team. He decided to study three groups with each having a set of scrambled disassembled ‘smart housing’ mixed with some unwanted materials or wastes to test each group’s performance; or how would each group reacts with different tactics on solving problematic conditions, situations. Then the owner formed the three groups-A, B, C with 30 members with almost equal potentials and abilities for each group. Each group was given 7 days to do anything the members of each team wanted on each set of scrambled ‘smart housing’. Before hand, the owner knew that 3 days with 20 ordinary men following ‘the manual’ were enough number of days to assemble the ‘smart housing.’ Then groups A, B, C were given some books with words about morality, team works, Ten Commandments, negative to positive attitude lessons, and given some cases of bottle of wines and beers, and also given CD player with rock music, religious music. But a ‘manual’ of the ‘smart housing’ as part of the scrambled things can be seen on the ground with some mud; or was “dirty” or filthy. Then each group was allowed to do anything on each assigned set of scrambled disassembled ‘smart housing’. Each group had different religious back grounds, and had elected a leader that had attended a seminar with different approach on how to fix things: Leader-A was conditioned that almost all problems could be solved by praying, touching icons, especially depending much on divine things. Leader-B was conditioned that almost all problems have keys or starting points where good start is easy and problem could smoothly be fixed. Leader -C was lucky enough that the owner revealed to him about the secret of the ‘manual’ of the ‘smart housing’. At group-A, since 10% of them were practicing their belief and prayed sincerely, and the 90% was just ‘mass produced’ or ‘other essential words were not well taught to them,’ most of the 90% did different things. Others played rock music. Others had some singing, dancing, sleeping, drinking, relaxing, and doing nothing. Others made fire out of those parts of the ‘smart housing’ for enjoying the time, etc. Then the leader of group-A assembled all the members and he gave words connected to touching icons because he brought an image believed to be “miraculous”; and prayed for “divine” inspiration and “divine” revelation sincerely especially of what to do next. At group-B, upon seeing many materials began to investigate and to consult each other what they could do about those materials. Others suggested that the material/s could be part/s of usable unit/s or structure/s. So some were assembled as originals; others were destroyed and became

part of another unit and so on. But at group-C, the team did exactly those instructions on “the manual” because the leader of group C was set apart from the two leaders to be able to know the secret of “the manual”. And group C did exactly what the leader told them to do because of the ‘manual’; the team assembled the ‘smart housing’. And still group C added some original creativity out of those unwanted materials or mixed waste because the brains were conditioned to do and create more.” Then the A.I. gave some analysis about the story: “The scenarios might be far from what is really connected with “other essential words are for granted” syndrome but there is something “near” that struck the mind to acknowledge that words, revelations connected to doable, practical things is better than any other else. The mind could be magnetized not to do anything or to do something especially to depend to some mystics or magic, or to do many things but wrongly; or to do exactly the right thing because of revelation, education, seminars. Those dissembled prefabricated part of ‘smart housing’ could be equal to those idle lands, barren land, and idle natural resources. The filthy manual might be equal to those technologies already available in the internet, books, and good words from good teachings of any religion like: other’s good advices, good suggestions, good books, good letters, etc. but not being noticed. Those icons that magnetized the mind to do other or different things from the manual could be any distraction, deception, false teachings, bad habits, vices, bad customs, bad traditions, wrong observances, wrong beliefs, etc. Perhaps those countries that are doing well are experts on “imitating and improving” the good things of others; because ‘others good things made from imitating and improving’ is practically the same as following the instructions of the ‘manual’; the ‘thing’ is already there, one should only ‘imitate or improve’ or follow ‘instructions’. Follow ‘instructions’ is equal to imitating and improving good things, good actions of others. But those who are not doing well are magnetized not to do or “imitate and improve others good things” because the “good things” are not from their “only” true and right group: those “good things” or actions are false. We have better ways-we have dancing images, crying icons, miraculous rocks, miraculous stones, idols, icons; we have experts who are “perfect” doctors, “perfect” models, “infallible” teachers, etc. etc. We have the only “original” group, etc but not minding small problems to be fixed because of ‘other essential words were for granted”. Perhaps leaders who are not minding to solve the created result of “mass produced” syndrome are guilty of enhancing deception.” Then a scholar asked: “If example someone in group-A accidentally found the “filthy manual” and because of curiosity, of prayer or perhaps because of an angel’s whisper to search and to study the “filthy manual” or because of a member belonging to the 10% who sincerely prayed and believed that a miracle could happen, would the story be different? Would the group be the same as group-B but not totally the same as group-C because other parts were burned already?” Then the A.I. replied: “Yes, it could be possible. Sometimes or perhaps most of the time praying is very important so that a whisper about what to do next could come from a vision, or a dream or an idea; or a miracle has happened.” Then a scholar asked: “If balancing tactic or common sense would be done during the time of Constantine, what would the A.I. do on those 70+ gospels different from the gospel of John, Mark, Matthew, Luke?” The A.I.

was silent. So the scholar continue his elaboration: “if those other groups are not doing bad like hating or doing ethnic cleansing perhaps other groups could be tolerated to do or follow their belief because of religious tolerance and perhaps many different groups or beliefs could enhance creativities and perhaps could destroy belief monopoly; and the more groups which are well supervised is better than having belief monopoly that others are just left behind to do what they want because of “mass produced syndrome”. Or if Jesus were still alive during Constantine’s time what would Jesus do to those other groups or other beliefs?” Then the A.I. answered: “There are many incidents that Jesus was put to decide about men’s “controversial” conviction-one is when Jesus perhaps became “angry” on the incident that people were selling goods inside the church for personal business, and another incident is when Jesus corrected a disciple commenting about other group’s baptizing because the group that was baptizing was not Jesus’ group. Another incident is when Jesus was mad and saying “you snake…” because of the topic that some people were killing innocent people for group’s supremacy. Another is when Jesus was mad and saying “you hypocrites…” because the priests were trying to put his teaching down on many occasions…; and many more incidents. But Jesus perhaps never condemned or judged or did comment that the religion of Rome is bad. Or that the religion of the Jews is/was bad. Perhaps Jesus never attacked a public institution maliciously; he even talked about “tolerance,” “forgiveness,” “love of enemies,” “render what is for Caesar…” but never talked about “superiority of group” on earth. But he talked about his “kingdom.” Perhaps Jesus would tolerate good groups to flourish if Jesus was around during the time of Constantine. Perhaps Jesus kingdom is composed of many members of many good groups because he talked about separating “goat” from the “sheep,” the “good” fish from the “bad” fish, the “fruitful” seeds and the “unfruitful” seeds. Then a scholar asked: “I heard from a certain pastor that very few would be saved. Perhaps 10% of Jesus’ group only, is this true? The A.I is not programmed to comment on supremacy of group but perhaps the A.I. could comment as an opinion about Jesus’ kingdom; and answered: Since there are many good people from different good groups perhaps there would still be many who will be saved. It would be “conceit” if a member claims that his group is the “only” Jesus’ group.” From someone,
