"...under the umbrella of "liberals" or "liberalism;" (as used today); there are actually two separate and distinct groups:
"True liberals believe very much in what they promulgate. They are truly concerned with the welfare of citizens, and they believe in policies that will benefit the same-at least in their view. There are neither nefarious purposes, nor any intellectual dishonesty. Their objective is to improve the quality of life (and longevity), for as many people as possible.
"...Conservatives and liberals can often agree on the ends; but vastly disagree on the means. Giving a hungry person a fish is kind; but to conservatives, teaching him how to fish seems to be a better long term solution. It is not that conservatives object to the temporary giving of the fish; but rather they object to not teaching him how to fish.
"True liberals believe in the dignity of man; and promulgate policies in furtherance of this belief.
"Statists; the other group usually and often erroneously grouped under the "liberal" umbrella; are another matter. It is because of agreements with liberal policy that they are usually grouped under this liberal umbrella; but their motivations, purposes and beliefs are entirely different-arguably antithetical-to true liberalism."
Why should liberals read "Statists Saving One?"
To understand that many who may appear to agree with your means, have entirely different ends in sight; and that these ends are antithetical to liberalism. True liberalism and statism are entirely incompatible. And all along you thought they were your friends.
Why should conservatives read "Statists Saving One?"
To understand the difference between liberals and statists; and end the confusion. Many liberals agree with many conservative ends, merely proffering a different means to achieve them. But statists have entirely different ends in sight-no matter whom they may appear to agree with at any given time.
Why should statists read "Statists Saving One?"
To understand the true motivations behind statism; and decide if continued actions are wise. The masquerade is now over. Either change, or "pack up and go home" while you can; as it will never become any easier in any current statist's lifetime.
About the Author: Many consider Dr. Walker to be "the father of (a)etheric physics." Walker discounts this, stating that "physics is physics." "Psychology is physics-just a different manifestation of the same subject." He also disputes this "accusation of paternity" by noting that his works are not primarily concerned with intra-etheric phenomena; but rather with the interactions between this so called etheric or immaterial realm, and the material realm upon which we all live. He further insists that his job is much more akin to a detective, rather than an originator. "For centuries man has insisted upon piling dross upon that which is priceless, to suit his fancy or emotional needs at the time. Fortunately; and largely due to Strong and a few others; much is recoverable."
Dr. Walker (JB) is an interesting fellow. His bachelor's degree is in Public Administration and PoliSci. His Doctorate required courses in Inorganic and Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, Embryology, Osteology, Splanchnology, Syndesmology, Neurology, Histology, Cell Biology; as well as Physiology and Pathophysiology, and much more.
JB's insatiable quest for truth and wisdom led him to become a Master Mason, Royal Arch Mason, Royal and Select Master, and a Knights Templar. He studied with AMORC; "beyond the ninth degree." He studied Astrology under Sylvia Sherman; completing the entire two year curriculum. JB once commented after a meeting he had attended with top professional Astrologers: "In a sense I am glad this meeting is over. One hand grenade, and Astrology would have ceased to exist in the United States."
JB's vast knowledge provides him with a unique perspective with regard to "spiritual" matters. Always thinking-always learning; he often causes Bible "scholars" to become apoplectic; because when they have no intellectual argument, their emotions at a minimum remain undiminished. JB's guiding principles: "Learn Everything;" "Treat others as you would like to be treated;" and most importantly: "A thing that is, is; and thus cannot at the same time not be."
