                            %JUDGMENT OF SENSATIONS 780508

     There   is   a  human  tendency  to   explain   human
frustrations in terms of a battle between good intentions,
aspirations,   desires,  expectations on the one hand  and
evil weaknesses,  temptations, personalities,  and designs
on the other hand. Often there is  a tendency to associate
goodness   with   spirituality,    piety, generalizations,
theory,  verbalizations, policies,  laws,  etc.---and evil
with   sensuality,   practicality,   specifics,   stories,
affection,  spontaneity,  rebellion, matter,  etc.  Such a
dichotomization  tends  to  promote  the  substitution  of
formal foci of attention for primitive  sensations as foci
of attention.   Gut feelings,  motor sensations, emotional
responses,  intuitions,   instincts,   tactile sensations,
affective   responses,   sexual   responses,   intuitions,
instincts, tactile sensations, affective responses, sexual
desires and responses, odors,  sounds, and tastes and like
non-formal foci for attention cease to play a central role
in living.  They are replaced by formal foci for attention
which tend to be  communicated through  formal  languages,
symbols,  and  patterns of representations:  words, ideas,
concepts,   policies,   rules,   equations,    statements,
principles,  laws,  theories, generalizations,  etc.   The
latter are often  conveyed through  the use of sight---but
with little interest in color,  texture,  line,  tone,  or
other  aspects  of  visual patterns  which  elicit  direct
sensory responses.  Primitive sensory experiences cease to
be foci for attention and dialogue.

     When  primitive  experiences  are  judged  to  be  of
secondary value,  if not explicitly evil,  human integrity
is  undermined.    The resultant  fragmentation  of  human
personalities  results in frustrations which find  violent
avenues  of  expression---often  through  the   ostensible
"good"   foci of attention which have been substituted for
the ostensible "evil"  foci of attention.   Via collusions
the  counter-productive  nature of the judgments regarding
sensuality  is not perceived---and the judgments  continue
to  be regarded as righteous by the self-righteous  judges
who  serve their exclusive conceptions of the knowledge of
good  and  evil.   Such judges lose touch with reality  as
they create their peculiar insane world devoid of  sensory
values.  They worship ideal idols and call them good.
