A principle of wholeness
By Jon Rappoport
Suppose you had a community in which there were families but
relatively few fathers. For various reasons, the fathers were absent,
gone. But the mothers were there, and they had to raise the children.
A wholeness is gone. You can try to talk your way around it,
but you can't. The children are missing something, and that's all there
is to it.
Now you're going to step in and "solve the problem." One
thing is certain: you're going to come up with some bizarre plans,
because the actual answer is the missing fathers.
That's obvious to everyone.
But this is a tricky area, because the complexities of
"solutions" have been piled up on each other for a long time. You have
some very odd structures now. It seems you are wandering farther and
farther afield.
If this were pure mathematics (which it isn't), you'd have
something like this: 1 plus 1 plus 1 equals 3. But then you took away a
1, and you still tried to get 3 as the answer. You would then find many
1's which are not real 1's and you would plug them into the equation and
pretend it was all working correctly.
The answer is way back there where the 1's went missing. They disappeared.
The fathers disappeared and stopped being fathers (if they
ever started). Again, you can try to talk your way around this, but it
doesn't work.
Why did the fathers leave? This is a better starting point. Why did they become fathers if they were going to leave?
Can someone else make them come back? Highly doubtful.
If you could get a few hundred possible fathers-to-be in a
room before they became fathers (could you do that?), perhaps you could
ask a few questions. Do you think you're going to become a father? Do
you want to become a father? If you do become a father, what are you
going to do next? Why do you want to be a father? What do you think the
role of a father is? Is that role what you want?
Regardless, this is where the problem begins. Introducing
huge amounts of money over time into that community, in the form of
"programs," isn't going to carry the day.
This problem doesn't have a cause that no one can ever see.
It isn't a great mystery. The cause surely isn't something to be blotted
out. Once you blot it out, what are your chances of solving the
problem?
If missing fathers are the problem---and they are---and you
try 4,567 other solutions to substitute for the missing father, what
chance of success do you have?
If one major solution is empowering a gigantic organization
called government to enact other solutions, what chance of success do
you have? If the government is, in effect, standing in for the missing
father, is this going to be an authentic remedy? Is it going to work for
the child in the family?
No, it's not.
Since the problem and its cause are so obvious, you might
come to the conclusion that the people who are "in charge" of solving
the problem don't really want to solve it, because they're busy looking
at everything except the cause.
You might come to that conclusion.
If the missing fathers don't want to solve the problem, and
then the government doesn't really want to solve the problem, that makes
things worse.
What is a father?
To ask that question in these communities, and to listen to
answers, in churches and schools and informal neighborhood
conversations, does it possibly seem that the best people to engage in
that dialogue are the people who actually live there? Is that remotely
possible?
Are the government, and all sorts of outside experts, quite
sure that such a dialogue, undertaken by the people who live there, will
never result in any positive outcome? Are they quite sure that nothing
good can come of this? Are they writing off the wisdom of the people who
actually live there, and instead assuming that these people have
nothing to offer?
And if so, is there a way to be more patronizing and dismissive at the same time?
