'Health Education' Bill Nothing More Than Pro-Homosexual Propaganda,
Says Activist
By Jim Brown
(AgapePress) - A Massachusetts pro-family group is protesting a bill in
the State Legislature that would make some controversial "health
education" courses a requirement for graduation from public schools.
In 1998, the Article 8 Alliance succeeded in getting the Massachusetts
Board of Education to dump the health education requirement. But
according to the conservative group, "now the sex-ed lobby wants to do
an end-run around the Board of Education" and have a "more
gay-friendly" Legislature pass a proposal that would once again require
K-12 students to take "sexuality" studies.
Article 8 president Brian Camenker says Bill H1641 (also S102), which
has 36 co-sponsors, is dangerous. Essentially, says the pro-family
activist, the curriculum requires the "normalizing" of homosexuality by
the fifth grade.
"Some of the things that this would do are just so incredibly
outrageous," says Camenker. "For instance, by the end of grade five,
[students] need to [be able to] define sexual orientation using the
correct terminology such as 'heterosexual' and 'gay and lesbian.'"
The group's website comments further, adding: "We must assume this will
also include the latest trends in the GLBT [gay, lesbian, bisexual,
transgender] activist lexicon: 'bisexual,' 'transgender,' and maybe
even 'polyamorous.'"
In addition, says Camenker, the bill has Planned Parenthood's
fingerprints all over it. "They impose the Planned Parenthood approach
to sexuality," he asserts. He describes that approach as telling
children "here are all the different ways of contraception and sexual
techniques and everything, and abstinence is just one of many [options]
and you can choose what's right for you." Essentially, he says, it
suggests the idea that a child can choose for themselves whatever
technique of contraception he or she wishes.
In Camenker's opinion, the legislation is a direct challenge to
parental rights -- specifically, challenge to a law that allows parents
to opt their children out of objectionable classroom discussions. His
group contends the measure puts parents in a bind: if they choose to
opt their child out of the class -- in the process risking a failing
grade in the health requirement -- the student possibly could not
graduate.

In other words, it sounds like they want people making informed,
reasonable, rational decisions instead of blindly accepting the
propaganda of the so-called "'Christian' right" -- and what could
possibly be wrong with that?

TO:
So you've come to realise that the religious belief professed by "RoB WADe"
<rob_c_wade_2@yahoo.com> and AgapePress has being axiomatic, no basis in
fact, is a lie and a delusion which shares no common ground with the
Judaeo-Christian everlasting covenant--That such individual is typically
engaging in inpunity of the autonomous, sovereign, common laww and
constitutional rights of others.
It is a deceptive, fallacious, religious and political mantra: "Family
First" which is advanced as a claim to piety, in that it is an autonomous
right which is affirmed by the three propositions in Kant's practical
syllogism as an autonomous, sovereign, common law and constitutional right
and not the bestowal of piety to the act of begetting {Heb. Yalad: Yod (#10)
Lamed (#30) Daleth (#4) = #44 - Moderate Values/ Setting Up Precepts}:
"A state (civitus) is a union of a multitude of human beings under laws of
right. Insofar as these are a priori necessary as laws, that is, insofar as
they follow themselves from concepts of external right as such (are not
statutory), its form is the form of the state as such, that is, of the state
in idea, as it ought to be in accordance with pure principles of right. This
idea serves as a norm (norma) for every actual union into a commonwealth
(hence serves as a norm for its internal constitution).
Every state contains three authorities within it, that is, the general
united will consists of three persons (trias politica):
1. the sovereign authority (sovereignty) in the person of the legislator;
2. the executive authority (eg: Head of State) in the person of the ruler
(in conformity to the law); and
3. the judicial authority (to award to each what is his in accordance with
the law) in the person of the judge (potestas legislatoria, rectoria et
inudiciaria).
These are like the three propositions in a practical syllogism: the major
premise YANG/FATHER - Formula of Universal Law}, which contains the law of
that will; the minor premise {YIN/MOTHER - Formula of Humanity}, which
contains the command to behave in accordance with the law, that is, the
principle of subsumption under the law; and the conclusion {ZHUN/SON -
Formula of Autonomy}, which contains the verdict (sentence), what is laid
down as right in the case at hand." ([Copyright © 1996 Cambridge Texts in
the History of Philosophy, Kant 1724-1804, The Doctrine of Right, The
Metaphysics of Morals, para 45])
A categorical imperative such as self preservation, integrity, civility and
decency are therefore all instances of unconditional obligations; that may
also be considered the theological equivalent notion to angels or daemons.
In that it has the force of an obligation regardless of our will, desires or
whims and which is contrasted to an hypothetical imperative. Kant's
categorical imperative was formulated in three ways, which he believed to be
roughly equivalent (although many commentators do not) to the three
propositions in his practical syllogism:
a) The first formulation (YANG/FATHER - Formula of Universal Law as
Sovereignty: #1 - Nature contains Nature {#4 - Nature amended in its
Nature}) says: "Act as if the maxim of thy action were to become by thy will
a universal law of nature."
b) The second formulation (YIN/MOTHER - Formula of Humanity as Head of
State: #2 - Nature rejoices in its Nature {#5 - Act of Nature}) says: "Act
that you use humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any
other, always at the same time as an end, never merely as a means."
c) The third formulation (ZHUN/SON - Formula of Autonomy as Individual:
#3 - Nature surmounts Nature {#6 - Form of Nature}) is a synthesis of the
first two. It says that we should so act that we may think of ourselves as
legislating universal laws through our maxims, in a possible Kingdom of
Ends. We may think of ourselves as such autonomous legislators only insofar
as we follow our own laws. ([Wikipedia, free encyclopedia discussion of
German philosopher Immanuel Kant (April 22, 1724 - February 12, 1804)])
This may be augmented by a fourth formulation (ONE as Formula of
Progression: #4 - Nature amended in its Nature {#7 - Engendering Nature}) as
a progressive adaptation within its sphere of operation.
A comment needs to be made, as to the purpose, function and differences
between the traditional DAOIST/TORAH (Pythagorean) A-U-M worldview of the
religious/political Mysteries associated to both the Tetragrammation of
Number (Sephirot) obtained from yarrow sticks/stones {ie. According to Yang
Hsiung's (53 BCE to 18 CE) tetragram system, each four-line glyph has 3
possibilities {ie. 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = #81} whose component parts are read from
top to bottom, comprising either:
(3) an unbroken line correlated to YANG/FATHER {+ 0, 27, 54};
(9) a line broken once representing YIN/MOTHER {+ 0, 9, 18}; and
(27) a line broken twice symbolising ZHUN/SON {+ 0, 3, 6}
(81) as its culturing as that which organises {ie. within its sphere/ONE
within FAMILY: + 0, 81, 9(9²+1)/2 = #369} the myriad of individual phenomena
(WAN WU): + 1, 2, 3} = Tetragrammation hierarchy value.
} and the Tetragrammation formulation of the name YHWH {ie. 72J = 12 x 294 x
364 = 12 x 293 x 365.2425 = Tetragrammation on YHWH as 72} associated to the
natural cycle of the four seasons as regime of governance. And how this
relates to the alternate '#57 - Laissez Faire Politics/ Simplicity In
Habits' perspective of the 'topical year' commencing New Years
Day/Resolution 1 January as proposed by the Gregorian calendar reforms of
1582 CE and adopted throughout the British Empire in 1752 CE.
Rabbi Yaakov Feldman of Project Genesis suggests of Ramchal's (Rabbi Moshe
Chaim Luzzatto 1707-1746 CE) explanation, that it concerns a Categorical
Imperative associated to the very start of creation. His explanation of the
Kabbalistic terminology brings it all down to earth: "'All the
sephira-levels that G-d created' that is, all the non-material building
blocks that went into the creation of the world known as the sephirot
(plural of sephira), 'were (originally) arranged in order, with one under
the other'. In fact we learn that, 'everything's in place (ideally) when the
more extraneous sephira-levels are below the more exalted ones and are
subservient to them, which is how things will be in The World to Come.'
His point is that order and proper hierarchy are the ideal. It had been in
place at the beginning and will be in place again in the end. 'But
everything was damaged'-- everything suddenly changed for the worse -- 'when
the 'husk' rebelled against its Master.'
The 'husk' is another name for the yetzer harah (which on both a personal
level and a cosmic one is the resistance to G-dliness). It's referred to as
a 'husk' or 'shell' because it comes about before the 'fruit' of G-dliness
does [1 Corinthians 12:3-31], because it preserves the fruit (just as the
yetzer harah preserves society, for without it there'd be no childbirth,
civilization, etc.), and because like all husks and shells the yetzer harah
is destined to be cast aside when it no longer serves its purpose (as we'll
see).
For when the husk rebelled against G-d and thus removed itself from the
natural order of things, it separated the Jewish Nation (represented by the
last of the sephira-levels, which is nourished by the largesse of the lot of
them) from G-d by virtue of the fact that things were no longer 'in place',
as order and hierarchy are the ideal as we said, and 'the more extraneous
levels' were no longer 'below the more exalted ones and ... subservient to
them'.
Not only that but 'as soon as the husk took control of the sephira-levels
the supernal light reversed itself', which is to say that G-d's presence hid
itself, 'the sephirot were no longer joined together, the Divine Flow
diminished, and the Jewish Nation's abilities weakened and lessened.'
And in fact that spiritual chaos and malnourishment is our situation in
exile on an ethereal level." ([Copyright © 2006 Rabbi Yaakov Feldman,
Ramchal, 'The Great Redemption', 'Exile', Chapter 7, Project Genesis])
Thus in this example, the husk or the outer shell {Nature amended in its
Nature {Engendering Nature}} as the New Year's formulation adopted as part
of the Gregorian calendar reforms of 1582 CE might be considered at the
personal level, the equivalent to our New Year's Resolution custom, whereby
one might purge themselves of undesireable compulsions in much the same way
as the 'yetzer harah that is destined to be cast aside when it no longer
serves its purpose'. Or undertake some corrective and restorative action.
But there is also a cosmic kernel correspondence which proffers a resistance
to Godliness and in point of fact rebels against God as MALAKOS [Luke
7:24-28; Matthew 11:23-30; Damascus Document 8:3-12]: "While we pursue those
government ministers asleep at the wheel of the ship of state, let's also
castigate ourselves and remind ourselves that it is only a materialistic,
utilitarian people which is collectively able to work the public conscience
into such a state of submission so that the nation is able to trade
successfully with a corrupt despot while convincing itself that necessary
and justified sanctions are honoured and all is in readiness for war."
([Jesuit priest, lawyer and academic Frank Brennan, annual Manning Clark
lecture, 2 March 2006; source: The Australian 3 March 2006, Jill Rowbotham,
'Priest laments society's "moral lethargy"])
It is this knowledge duality {eg: "Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem
{House of Bread} of Judaea in the days of Herod {son of a hero} the king,
behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem {VISION OF PEACE: The
Autonomous Nature as Forma Corporis is the equivalent to the demiurge as
supernatural animating agent within the universe [Exodus 23:20-24; Acts
12:20-24] as the Shekinah [#11, #2, #37, #47 * Ignorant Guides/ Viewing the
Distant, #75 - The Destructiveness of Envy/ Harmed Through Greed, #28, #32,
#81, #30]. And who was especially important as having an associated
equivalence to the Almighty [Genesis 17:1] as Shaddai {Heb. Shin (#300)
Daleth (#4) Yod (#10) = #314 % 81 = #71 as [#5, #21, #11, #71 * Know-How as
a Disease/ The Disease of Knowledge, #58 - Political Reversal/ Adaptation to
Change, #24, #65, #34, #6]} being proposed by Yang Hsiung's (53 [4] BCE - 18
CE) T'ai Hsuan Ching (Canon of Supreme Mystery on Causality -- Natural
Divination) is as follows:
a) Yang - #44 - Moderate Values/ Setting Up Precepts (May 26-31)
b) Yin - #50 - Fantasies of Avoiding Death/ Estimation of Life (Nov 28-Dec
2)
c) Zhun - #73 - Employing Deeming/ Daring to Act (Jan 16-20)
d) One - #15 - Mastering Guiding Discourse/ Revealers of Virtue (Dec 22-26)
}, saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his
star in the east, and are come to worship him. When Herod the king had heard
these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. ... [W]hen Herod
saw that he was deceived by the wise men, [being] exceedingly angry; he sent
forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in
all the districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which
he had determined from the wise men. Then was fulfilled what was spoken by
Jeremiah {exaltation of the Lord} the prophet, saying, 'A voice was heard in
Ramah/Ram {elevated; sublime}, lamentation, weeping, and great mourning,
Rachel {sheep} weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted, because
they were no more.'" [Matthew 2:1-3]
} of what is both an ontological and cosmic realm which John Polkinghorne
suggests within his Terry lectures, celebrating 300 years of the Society for
Promoting Christian Knowledge, is the basis of the definition of religious
belief issued by the Council of Chalcedon in 451 CE, bringing into play the
full resources of Greek philosophy in an effort to articulate orthodox
understanding of the Status of Christ: "One and the same Son, our Lord Jesus
Christ, at once complete in Godhead and complete in manhood, truly God and
truly man, ... One and the same Christ, Son, Lord, Only-begotten, recognised
in two natures, without confusion, without change, without division, without
separation." ([Copyright © 1998, John Polkinghorn, 'Does God Act in the
Physical World', 'Belief in God in an Age of Science', p 67])
As suggested within my 24 June - 20 July chapter titled, 'Course-TROCHOS of
nature-GENESIS or world-KOSMOS of iniquity-ADIKIA?', the essence of orthodox
asceticism is a convoluted process of detachment from reality, involving a
paradoxical subordination of self to an inner perception or apparition of
mind; {Gk. horama}, as self-grandising hallucinatory autosuggestion and
deification in claimed unity with one's inner daemon. [#6, #69, #20, #70 *
Difficulty in Knowing How/ Difficult to Understand, #70, #3, #69, #60, #14 -
Kether (Crown)] Whereby the "heart has been purified of all thoughts; that
his nous has been liberated from fantasy, logic and the passions and has
returned to the heart and been united with it in the Holy Spirit".
Its monasticism proscribes, that the knowing of truth is attained by one
whose nous is unified in his heart. In order to bring this about, the
ascetic decides to live a reclusive and mystical life and feels a distaste
for everything which disunites his nous. [#1, #5, #61, #81 * Making the
Essence Clear/ Propounding the Essential, #5 - Natural Guidance/ The
Function of Emptiness, #16, #31, #61, #15] - Chokmah (Wisdom)]
Man's soul is thought by the ascetic, to being tripartite. In other words it
has three powers, the intelligent, the incensive and the appetitive. When
the soul is ill, its three powers are also ill. Christ began his cure of the
soul with the appetitive power. For desire unsatisfied fuels the incensive
power, and then the intelligence too is ill. Therefore the incensive power
of the soul cannot be cured before the appetitive power is cured, nor can
the intelligence be cured until the other two powers have been cured. [#15,
#7, #47, #67 * Three Treasures {kindness, frugality and no presumption that
one is first among all under Heaven}, #71 - Know-How as a Disease/ The
Disease of Knowledge, #11, #48, #51, #48 - Thrones (Saturn)] ([St. Maximos
the Confessor (580-662 CE), Vladimir's Seminary Press, On the Cosmic Mystery
of Jesus Christ, Ambiguum 7 Section I, p 53-54])

'Health Education' Bill Nothing More Than Pro-Homosexual Propaganda,
Says Activist
By Jim Brown
(AgapePress) - A Massachusetts pro-family group is protesting a bill in
the State Legislature that would make some controversial "health
education" courses a requirement for graduation from public schools.
In 1998, the Article 8 Alliance succeeded in getting the Massachusetts
Board of Education to dump the health education requirement. But
according to the conservative group, "now the sex-ed lobby wants to do
an end-run around the Board of Education" and have a "more
gay-friendly" Legislature pass a proposal that would once again require
K-12 students to take "sexuality" studies.
Article 8 president Brian Camenker says Bill H1641 (also S102), which
has 36 co-sponsors, is dangerous. Essentially, says the pro-family
activist, the curriculum requires the "normalizing" of homosexuality by
the fifth grade.
"Some of the things that this would do are just so incredibly
outrageous," says Camenker. "For instance, by the end of grade five,
[students] need to [be able to] define sexual orientation using the
correct terminology such as 'heterosexual' and 'gay and lesbian.'"
The group's website comments further, adding: "We must assume this will
also include the latest trends in the GLBT [gay, lesbian, bisexual,
transgender] activist lexicon: 'bisexual,' 'transgender,' and maybe
even 'polyamorous.'"
In addition, says Camenker, the bill has Planned Parenthood's
fingerprints all over it. "They impose the Planned Parenthood approach
to sexuality," he asserts. He describes that approach as telling
children "here are all the different ways of contraception and sexual
techniques and everything, and abstinence is just one of many [options]
and you can choose what's right for you." Essentially, he says, it
suggests the idea that a child can choose for themselves whatever
technique of contraception he or she wishes.
In Camenker's opinion, the legislation is a direct challenge to
parental rights -- specifically, challenge to a law that allows parents
to opt their children out of objectionable classroom discussions. His
group contends the measure puts parents in a bind: if they choose to
opt their child out of the class -- in the process risking a failing
grade in the health requirement -- the student possibly could not
graduate.

Oh Noes! There's a proposal for a plan which can potentially lower teen
pregnancy and abortion (after all, abstinence only education doesn't work
worth *****), and may keep a gay teen or two from committing suicide because
they think there's something wrong with them. It must be stopped! >_>
