While I was a police officer, I was able to attend a training where I met Dr. Paul Jenkins and was introduced to Live on Purpose. Where a person lives intentionally. It was a deep dive into measuring the intentions and outcomes of one’s intrinsic values found in one’s life.
Part of Dr. Paul’s repertoire was his overall program called Parental Power: What Every Parent Should Know About Control and Maturity. It is a fantastic model to teach children and live by as adults.
It is another tool to go hand-in-hand with other philosophies like stoicism, libertarianism and even one who would consider themselves spiritual and have a religious moral code in believing in God.
To live it, one would have to learn, absorb, and apply it in their own life to mentor their children and gain power and mastery over one’s own life.
I could see how society was heading into a hedonistic lifestyle through instant gratification and acting out of impulses, especially how cell phones were making such a wave into society.
I was seeing society becoming very prideful, arrogant, and selfish. As I saw the problems, I looked for solutions as a police officer and as a father. I then encountered Dr. Paul and his materials on the stages of moral development or maturity.
The Stages of moral development and maturity consists of three categories. They run in congruent numbers 1-3.
In visiting Stage 3, true responsibility kicks in. Where morals, ethics, and values drive our behavior. It is where initiative takes place, where we see a need and do it by being proactive. We have inner control in directing one’s lives, as in internal mastery and discipline.
- Dedicated to moral principles
- Responsible
- Growth mindset
- Demonstrates Empathy
- Gives Meaningful Service
- Do the Right Things for the Right Reasons
“Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”~Viktor Frankl
Teaching responsibility has another purpose and outcome as in enhances a persons and communities freedoms.
Where much is given, much is required.
“Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry his or own weight, this is a frightening prospect.” — Eleanor Roosevelt
We learned that it takes maturity to “grow up,” and carry their weight; if they don’t, it becomes dead weight to the rest of us. It becomes a problem and stumbling block for the drive for freedom for ourselves, community and posterity.
Freedom and responsibility are two sides of the same coin.
“Freedom and responsibility aren’t interconnected things. They are the same thing.” — Harry Browne

We need to redefine what makes a hero and compare it to those through time who have held up freedom and understand the pain, suffering, and diligence it took and takes to be a free people. We need to reclaim the title as being the home of the brave and land of the free once again.
“I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.” — Bob Dylan
We need to decide what percentage of freedom we want. The more freedom we want and enjoy, the greater the responsibility one has to shoulder. Freedom isn’t free.
“The more freedom we enjoy, the greater the responsibility we bear, toward others as well as ourselves.” — Oscar Arias
It takes knowledge, wisdom, and work to achieve and maintain it from generation to generation.
Being responsible is challenging and makes people afraid. It is easier to be lazy and stay in one’s comfort zone. That’s why socialism, communism, and government programs do so well as we haven’t done a great job of handing down responsibility and freedom to our children, especially as a society.
We have been trained and indoctrinated not to understand the principle of freedom and responsibility as co-dependent on each other.
Our schools don’t teach this and imply freedom comes from the government, which is the furthest from the truth. This is anti-American, but adults don’t even recognize this ideology as we have become distracted from what is really important.
“Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.” — Sigmund Freud
You can guess it: our country is sliding faster and faster into more government control. As we go in that direction, we sink further and further into bondage, slavery, and tyranny.
As we teach freedom, we must teach people to be responsible for their lives. We can’t teach one without the other. I see to many times, people try and teach freedom, but it is incomplete without teaching people to be responsible, disciplined, and self-reliant.
If we don’t teach self-mastery, responsibility, and dedication to a higher moral development by living, modeling, and applying stage 3. We will rue the day and explain to our grandchildren we let freedom slip from our grasp to inherit the alternative of our own making, demise and destruction to be inmates into the prison planet.
WELCOME TO PRISON PLANET
Below are several videos of young women expressing their frustrations to constricting and regulating polices of the prison planet as it inches closer to showing it continuously invasive growth of tyranny on our God-given rights.
It’s not necessarily what she is saying or how she is saying it, but as one cuts through the surface arguments and gets to the root of what she is talking about. As one tunes out everything else and focus on what she describes, I’m hearing how we are slaves. Slaves that are in bondage to a system.
We have all been lied to and entrapped into this neo-slave and feudal society. We shouldn’t have to work so much and give so much money to taxes by way of big government and have our money value dissolved by inflation at the same time as an invisible tax.
The power to tax is the power to destroy.
I like her passion. I think she is trying to get at the root of the problem, but she is chasing a few red herrings about 20 years of work experience and the economy we build. There’s more context here of what happened 20 years ago. The dollar was worth more, our country was more dedicated to God’s principles, morals and Christian values. Which had a more proper feel of being free than we do today.
I join in with her frustration, as most Americans would probably agree that making a living is becoming harder and harder. What I am hearing is at the heart and soul of what she is saying is returning back to how society has evolved over the years to slavery and feudal lordship. As our golden age has come and gone.
It is interesting how our country once supposedly freed a people from physical bondage to place all of humanity into financial, mental, and spiritual slavery. This is not a race issue, but a human problem.
Instead of turning this into a divide between groups arguing for or against the blue or red camps. We should go to the heart of the issue and call a spade a spade. Sometimes this added layer in the camps stop us from diving further into the truth.
She needs to not think of things in narrow terms, we must point to the bigger picture and get to the foundation of her real anger. We need to steer her and our anger to the real culprits of our problems today.
The Globalists and their puppets.
It was the impregnation and birth of 1913 Federal Reserve Act in Congress. As the evil institution grows from stages and phases, it brings with it doses of poison that is killing and feeding off of the free-market capitalism.
It brought the seeds of destruction on the America soil in the form of the Central Bank system (web of connections of a small number of super wealthy people feeding off the 90 percent of rest of humanity). Central Banking is 90% of Taking Over a Country By the Ruling Class & Global Banking (Federal Reserve).
This institution and its money started changing our system from freemarket capitalism to crony capaitalism and corporatism (fascism) today. Which is a form of feudalism where a small group of oligarchs rule over mankind.
From 1913 to now, with the gradual decline of the dollar and America’s wealth transferred to this super wealthy oligarchy. This sucks money out of Americans pockets, and over time we become poorer, and dependent on our over lords.
This has a devastating effect on our freedoms (financial, psychological, emotional, physical, and spiritual). The 90 percent of humanity have become slaves and serves the 1 and other 9 percent who act as gate keepers to their Matrix and our new prison by way the new feudal system.
So this young lady is correct on not wanting to work the rest of her life and being unable to pay bills, housing, and groceries. The middle class is dying, and this is a key component in freemarket capitalism.
She doesn’t want to be a slave. I don’t want her to be a slave. I don’t want to be a slave. I don’t want my family to be slaves. I don’t want my children to be slaves. I don’t want my community to be slaves. I don’t want my country and humanity to be slaves.
This is the undertone and pain, I am hearing from these two young ladies. They are trying to figure out where to put this anger.
We have been lied to. This should make us angry. We have been conned, manipulated, and lied to. We can’t be angry at our grandparents or parents because a lie is a deception by leaving out a portion of the truth. If we don’t have the complete picture or information, our decisions are distorted and lead us unknowingly down the wrong path.
Too many people get distracted from becoming angry at the right people for the right reason. The two young ladies have every reason to be angry. We need to join in their anger. We need to direct and guide their anger correctly towards the right people.
“Anybody can become angry – that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way – that is not within everybody’s power and is not easy.” — Aristotle
The anger should be directed toward the Globalists and their organizations and people driving their agenda of herding humanity into their prison on planet Earth.
These Globalists and 1%ers have become our land lords and have slowly over time taken over all the wealth of America by various means. They have followed the 10 Planks of Communism in America to achieve their end.
It’s just a matter of time before they make everything digital and put the noose around our necks. Once they accomplish this, they will demand us to shred our God-given rights in the form of the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
People who are flattered, programmed and conditioned will be happy to give up their rights and want to force everybody to do the same.
They will think this is the right path as they choose the easy, wrong, and evil path of bondage and destruction. They won’t have to deal with the pain of responsibility.
Returning to Stage 1 of our moral development. We want to stay away from being selfishness and prideful as individually and collectively. When we are in these moods, feelings, and behavior it brings immoral acts and harm towards others and ourselves.
“Experience taught me that when pride wins… we all lose.” — Alfa H
I have seen in many times over, that “when pride wins,” everyone does lose. Think about times when either ourselves or others pride wins, what is lost in the short and long term outlook. Anything gained is usually short-lived in the grand scheme of things. But what is lost in these moments of immoral and tyrannical actions and moods.
What other qualities, traits and behaviors are in Stage 1.
- Selfish
- Narcissism
- Entitlement
- Hedonistic
- Idleness
- Grudge
- Revenge
- Fearful
- Laziness
- Narrowness
- Fighting/Defensiveness
- Manipulative
- Flattery
- Tantrums
- Demanding
- Needing Immediate Gratification
- Defiant
- Greed
- Emotional unwilling to communicate rationally
- Unwilling to cooperate
- Closed minded
- Victim mindset
- Lack of self control or discipline
The Holy Bible is like a treasure map and can tell us so much about ourselves and the state of the world, including our time, which has been described as the last days. Using the dictionary and thesaurus, one can compare Stage 1 of a persons moral or lack of moral development to what is described in 2 Timothy and what we are experiencing in the last days.
2 Timothy 3
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
When people start to live in the mindset of being narcissist, hedonistic, and manipulative, they don’t want to follow the standards God sets. Its considered to restrictive and boring for their pleasure seeking. They go seeking after their own Gods by doing what they want in their own subjectivity, instead of a duty and responsibility to live objective truth.
They can’t even discipline and rule over themselves.
They want to follow their own made-up rules, called moral relativism. Which is following their desires, wants, and pleasures. God and his commandments and his path only get in the way.
2 Timothy 4:3
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but having itching ears, they shall heap to themselves teachers in accordance with their own lusts.”
We do have the answer. It’s inside every one of us if we would choose to accept the mission and live with more intent. We must take responsibility back and return to God and his safety by keeping his standards and avoid being prideful, selfish, and narcissistic. When we are in this corrupt state of mind, it is easier to follow and be led by tyrants. The irony, the people who are in this state of mind can be easily manipulated.
“A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins.” — Benjamin Franklin
The sooner we realize this and not wait until we are older the better. Our children and our country needs this change and return to being responsible, dedication to moral principles, and to be about freedom. This all starts within ourselves by being aware and awake of our awful state as a society, family and individuals.
