                             %INCARNATION OF VALUES 731007

     The  articulation  of values in words---without human
action or feeling---is without power.   There is need  for
values  to be made real through incarnation in persons who
through suffering and sacrifice make ideals into  reality.
In  this way the absurdities of a logically consistent and
systematic   program   for  human   fulfillment   may   be
transcended.

     Those  who  are  dedicated to the realization  of the
knowledge of good and evil---may perceive the  incarnation
of  good and evil in self and others.   Most commonly such
persons perceive the incarnation of good in self and close
associates,   and the incarnation of evil in  others  with
whom  self  and associates refuse to associate.   In  this
state of consciousness, as lived by those dedicated to the
realization  of  the  knowledge  of good  and  evil,   the
necessity  of  incarnation becomes  perverted  with  great
destructive power---through the estrangement.

     How can there be "good" people, unless there are also
"evil"  people?   How can there be a  "good"   God, unless
there  also  be an "evil"  Devil?   Given  this  state  of
consciousness,    it  is  essential  that  techniques   be
developed  to help people recognize who the "good"  people
are, and who the "evil" people are; so that self may bring
together  the  "good"   people,  and estrange  the  "evil"
people.

     Given this frame of reference, the "good"  people may
on  occasion find it necessary to manipulate all people in
order to advance  "good"  causes.  Technocrats usually are
willing to offer the necessary techniques of manipulation-
--such  as those used in Auschwitz,  Dresden,   Hiroshima,
Lynchburg,  and Watergate.  Less notable examples fill the
lives of ordinary citizens  in any technocratic society---
until  those  lives  are  empty  of  hope,   meanings  and
liveliness.

     People  properly seek  to  transcend their individual
finitude and so seek to become the incarnations of  values
which  transcend  self  and other.    Yet,   when  through
collusion people identify ultimate value with the  created
things and ideals which fill their lives;  then there is a
shaking of the foundations which makes way for a new being
in  the  eternal now---upon the death of the  arrogant  as
they cease to live.
