The need for Forgiveness is in-Truth be-cause the only way
that a nervous system can direct its host organism's behavior
with respect to Truth is through experiencing the energy-gradient
that is WDB2T. Nervous systems do such via the TD E/I dynamics
that are reified in NDT.
Because WDB2T can be 'anything', locally, discerning the WDB2T
energy-gradient, which all available evidence substantiates is one-way,
from order to dis-order, overall, is to range-widely.
And there it is - in the necessity of ranging-widely, is the fact
that one will 'descend' into 'valleys' of relative dis-order.
And, when one behaves in accord with such, one 'makes mis-takes'.
And, since such is unavoidable - be-cause of the way nervous systems
process information - the need for Forgiveness is in-Truth.
'move away from' that need, and one Dictates to others that the
behaviors that they manifest while 'traversing the valleys of rel-
ative dis-order' are as 'traps' - which is a Failure to Guard Free
Will, and which =always= results in an acutalization, in-Truth,
that 'points right back to' the 'point' of such Failure.
So the Need to Forgive is not some mamby-pamby 'guilt-ridden'
stuff, as you contend, below, but 'just' Logic.
Dis-order happens, but Forgiveness optimally handles dis-order,
instead of launching energydynamics that, in turn, impose dis-order
back upon one's self.
It's not 'business as usual', in which it is 'feared' that, if Certain-
'Retribution' is not carried-out, offenders [Criminals] will rampage.
One who Forgives =doesn't= 'do nothing'.
One who Forgives understands how nervous systems process
information, and, instead of Illogically imposing dis-order upon
one's self, one who Forgives teaches an 'offender' how nervous
systems process information.
The 'sentence' consists of working through the Learning inherent.
Then, don't 'worry' about the 'offender'. Once he understands how
and why nervous systems process information via 'blindly'-automated
TD E/I-minimization, he'll have =many= better things to do.
Most-likely, he'll 'burn-rubber' in his 'moving toward' Truth.
There's no 'magic' in any of this.
All of the 'rewards' are built right into the Biology.
The thing that precipitated the 'offender's 'crime' was that Society
was, itself, a Victim of absence-of-understanding, and, in that
'state' of 'absence', Failed to give the Child who floundered with-
in dis-order reliable means to achieve TD E/I-minimization.
Give Children =this=, and they'll 'burn-rubber' in their 'moving
toward' Truth.
So it's not 'mamby-pamby'.
It's 'just' Logic, fine and True.
And it's what I've been talking about whenever I've addressed
the Needs of the Children.

This's not True, Peter.
The 'torture' would habituate [unless the water was
at an abnormal temperature, or fell from a considerable
height.
What makes it Torture is the fact that all opportunity
to focus convergence within one's neural energydynamics
has been taken away from one.
So the one stimulus becomes all there is with respect to
TD E/I-minimization, and it's so close to being 'nothing'
that the nervous system 'runs-wild' -> "zone of randomness",
AoK, Ap4.
I see folks doing subtle 'analogues' of this Torture to one
another all the 'time', BTW.
Anything that artificially delimits opportunity to achieve
TD E/I-minimization tends to do the 'same' thing.
It's Sorrowful that these 'analogues' of the water torture
are so common place.
Why I go on and on about the Need to Guard Free Will
follows from all of this.
Folks do the 'torture-analogues' to one another, then 'wonder
why' those to whom they do it behave in 'unruly' fashions.
Which is Sorrowfully-'hilarious', be-cause, virtually always,
folks who do thes 'torture analogues' are, themselves, Victims
and are 'just' manifesting 'Prejudice' toward the negative-'familiar'
that was inflicted upon them during their own Childhoods.
It's =not= 'genetic'.
It's 'just' 'blindly'-automated TD E/I-minimization, left uncom-
prehended.
The collective 'moving away from' NDT's understanding is
'just' more of the same-stuff, only, in it, there's a group-think
TD E/I-minimization dynamic in which it is literally, but 'sub-
consciously' 'agreed upon that the collective old-long-since
'familiar' stuff 'will be conserved'.
And there it is, again - the sowing of dis-order that imposes
dis-order back upon folks, collectively.
It's Sorrowfully-'hilarious'.
The Children, in the Innocence of their innate Brilliance, 'rebel'
against such, which only augments the 'wrath' of those who
succumbed to such in their own Childhoods, and who, 'now',
via the 'blindly'-automated TD E/I-minimization that was formerly
coersed upon them, use their 'power' to coerse the same-stuff
back upon the Children.
Dis-order perpetuation dis-order.
And "Woe to any who" do anything about all of this :-]

I 'move toward' Truth, period, Peter, Guarding Free Will as I do.
You are =Free= to 'move away from' me.
So is everyone else.
But I 'move toward' Truth, period.

The stuff I've been discussing is much-more-simple, Peter.
Jesus' teaching is right-there to see.
It's not some 'pie-in-the-sky' stuff.
I can =See= Truth inherent.
>> N.B. Was not screaming nor joking, just emphasizing.:-)
Me too.

What good is "social and scientific standing" if
such comes at the cost of 'moving away from'
Truth?
None :-]
If "social and scientific standing" requires one to
'move away from' Truth, then "social and scientific
standing" is 'Badge' of Dishonor.
I've never been big on 'Badges' - of any sort.
I'll take Truth.
It's all I Need.
So, I'll be Killed for refusing to 'move away from'
Truth - so what?
To 'live' without Truth is 'Death', itself.

It's so, but that's the heart of it all, isn't it?
> That is, unless I am shamefully wrong about how LARGELY RIGHT you are! :-}
I've worked =hard=, Peter - as a Labor of Love.
But I 'confess', I've never been 'good' at 'wearing the
mantle' of 'being right'. As a Child, it fell to me to
be a sort of 'shock absorber' in the midst of my
Family's 'heartache'.
I had to just do what needed to be done, without
getting 'puffed-up' about it [else I'd get 'cut down
to size' :-]
So I don't care about 'being right'.
I do care about 'moving toward' Truth, and there's
a double-'Difficulty' in that for me. The work has to
be communicated, and, when I work to accomplish
that, folks 'accuse' me of 'being self-seeking', which
inflicts upon my Being the most loathsome stuff that
there is in my experience.
So I'm just wanting folks to get-it while I still have
something left with which to actually Live my own Life.
My 'heart' is with the Children - with the Future - with
Humanity, and against all that Ravages any of these.
The rest doesn't matter to me because I've been
'standing on my own two feet' since before I could
crawl.
I don't care about 'being right'.
I care about the fact that folks're Murdering their
own Children.
I saw that I could do something about that.
I'm doing it.

It's 'just' Truth, Peter.
I 'move toward' Truth.

One's 'movement toward' Truth is, quite often, Hilarious,
for, when one 'moves toward' Truth, one 'traverses' the
'valleys' of dis-order, before one is able to 'climb' WDB2T.
Reiteratively.
Seeing the next 'place' to 'climb' from the 'hill-top'
to which one has 'climbed'.
Giving up that 'height' to 'descend', again, into
dis-order, in order to reach the next 'climbing'.
One can 'fly', sometimes, if the 'valleys' of dis-order
have already been explored, but, most ofter, I prefer
to slog-through the 'traverse' - because there's always
this or that remaining to be experienced in the 'valleys'.
It's why I went back to before 1900 in Tapered
Harmony.
But it's always Hilarious to be 'down-there' in the
dis-ordered 'muck'.
And it's especially so to folks who ensconce themselves
upon this or that 'hill-top', refusing to 'come-down', so
that they can, thenn, 'climb' higher.

I'm Sorry, Peter.
You see, I've explored the 'valleys' of dis-order.
And, everywhere I've looked, there is Jesus, beckoning me,
"Climb".
And I see Truth in-it.
I Accept any 'cost' inherent.
Honestly, such 'costs' are one of the ways through
which I can also see my Progress :-]
Peace,
ken, [k. p. collins]
