4. Stick with the truth because it needs neither defending nor excusing but only persistent reliance.

1. Desire is not the problem, but the desire for self-constructions is the problem.
2. Duality is not the problem, but the duality of self-constructions is part of the problem.
3. Conflict is not the problem, but the conflict between self-constructions is part of the problem.
4. Expectations are not the problem, but expectations about self-constructions cause most problems.
5. Measurement and comparison are not the problem, but the measuring and comparing of self-constructions is part of the problem.
1. Top-down or parent-controlled governments include autocratic (absolute monarchies, dictatorships), communistic, oligarchical, and socialistic.
2. Bottom-up or child-controlled governments include democratic, collective, committee-based, communal, consensus-based, and cooperative.
3. Parent-controlled governments claim all of the horrors in human history that were caused by governments and societies.
4. Child-controlled governments claim most of the utopian failures in human history that were caused by governments and societies.
5. Only the Ocean Government system operates simultaneously with parent-control and child-control (for more information read, How to Govern Anything, which is available worldwide on Amazon).
1. The psychology of ego is mirrored in animal social-systems because of the dualities of power, status, and control that govern them.
2. The psychology of ego is mirrored in business systems because of the superior and inferior dualities that govern status, power, and rewards.
3. The psychology of ego is mirrored in educational systems because of the superior and inferior dualities that govern status, power, and rewards.
4. The psychology of ego is mirrored in politics because governmental and international systems function as do individual ego systems (self-construction preferences).
5. The psychology of ego is mirrored in the sciences because both physics and chemistry provide rich examples for the mechanics of thought (dynamics, equilibration, homeostasis).
1. We claim to know, do, and be things, and it is these three claims that destroy us as self-constructions.
2. Claims to do and be things are claims to know because then you are claiming to know yourself as doing and being things (self-constructions).
3. Trying to know, do, and be things are claims to know because then you are claiming the ability and power to know without God (our original sin).
4. Seeking to know, do, and be things are claims to know because then you are seeking to “be as gods, knowing good and evil” (ego, pride, and high self-esteem).
5. Desiring to appear to others that you know, do, and are things is claiming to know because you desire to appear as a god (positive self-constructions and idols) who knows.
1. Keeping an honest memory of your faults and failings is a challenge because your self-constructions (ego) desire your errors and mistakes to prove their objects of you.
2. Keeping an honest memory of your family history is a challenge because your self-constructions insist that your history prove their concepts and images of you.
3. Keeping an honest memory of your relationships is a challenge because your self-constructions demand that you rewrite your memories to suit their interpretations.
4. Keeping an honest memory of facts and evidence is a challenge because your self-constructions need everything to reflect your appearance as the things they expect.
5. Keeping an honest memory of your experiences is a challenge because your self-constructions require that any stories based on your experiences prove their projections.
