Correctionism teaches various terms and concepts that provide a better way of viewing man and his world. Since humans are routinely born into this world in abject ignorance it goes without saying that obtaining an accurate view of how the world of men actually works is of the utmost importance. To this end, Correctionism teaches Cultural Dynamics: The operation and interaction of human cultures as the way man’s world actually works; this is so because culture can make man when it’s used properly and break man when it’s used against him. Furthermore, man’s cultures or societies run on the beliefs that rule men’s minds at any given time which also shape the destiny of humanity for better or worse. Before we get into Cultural Dynamics and its model of how man’s world works, we’ll examine the beliefs that currently dominate the worldview of the vast majority of the public.
Although today, the big bang and evolution are considered official or orthodox views of the world in which we live, for thousands of years up to the present, men have been brought up on what we shall call the: God-is-in- control model of how man’s world works. This concept teaches that God is not only the Supreme Being but he also micro-manages man’s world, on man’s behalf, which includes our individual lives. The God is in control model also teaches that God periodically intervenes to punish wrongdoers and bless the righteous. In this ancient model of how man’s world works, God or the gods are most responsible for keeping human affairs on the right track.
In Correctionism, we believe it’s far better to live in reality rather than in mythology but mankind has acquired the very bad habit of living in mythology, rather than in reality, and has done so for many thousands of years. For example, the most influential, organized religions are largely responsible for the God is in Control model of how man’s world works so influential religious mythologies have dominated human life for thousands of years up to the present day. During this period, various Holy Books have appeared that, among other things, teach the God is in Control model. Due to its religious backing, the God is in Control model is widely accepted even today and believed to be absolutely true by the vast majority of mankind; so the official, scientific view of the world, not that it’s necessarily superior, must coexist or share the spotlight with it.
Furthermore, in the God is in Control model, man is also seen as the image of God, while the Devil is seen as the source of all evil as well as the primary adversary of both God and man. By the same token, in this model, the devil gets to rule this world so man must rely upon God to both save him from the Devil as well as fix the great problems of human life. One of these problems is the dominance of evil and ignorance in man’s societies or civilizations, which the God is in control model teaches is the normal way of this world. On the other hand, there are many problems with the God is in Control Model and among the most important is that God is the primary force for good in this world. This has inclined people to rely heavily on God and organized religion which is widely seen as man’s best way of communicating with God.
In the Cultural Dynamics model taught in Correctionism, God is the Supreme Being but God also made man with the ability to do right or wrong. This means that God endowed man with immense capabilities, but God also shouldered man with immense responsibilities as well. Among the most important of man’s responsibilities in this world is safeguarding his cultures or societies from being taken over by the twin scourges of human evil and ignorance. Therefore, the Cultural Dynamics model requires that man be both wise and good in this world because this is the only way to defend human cultures or societies from the ravages of evil and ignorance over long periods of time. If man fails in this vital responsibility, then the Devil will gain the upper hand in human societies and there will be hell to pay for mankind. This has been the case for thousands of years and this indicates that man is on the wrong track rather than the right track in his cultures or societies today. In Correctionism we learn: Evil can only rule in those societies, ancient or modern, where the people are truly ignorant;
Therefore, evil kicks in to punish or regulate mankind when men fail to properly regulate themselves or each other. In this context, “regulate themselves or each other,” means doing the right thing rather than wrong in human cultures or societies and making sure that the number of people doing wrong doesn’t get out of hand, as it clearly is today. This is why in the Cultural Dynamics model, if the devil gains the upper hand, or becomes powerful enough to rule this world, it means that the vast majority of humans are doing something seriously wrong. When humans are doing right or what they’re supposed to do here on earth, human evil and ignorance are actually held in check. Human life at its best is impossible without this. One of man’s greatest problems when dealing with human evil is that ignorance often prevents men from even recognizing what evil is and how it actually works in man’s world. What’s good and what’s evil among humans aren’t always what people think they are.
This gives us a more accurate picture of the state of things in man’s world as well as a more accurate picture of man’s true nature. This also means that the true function of the devil, as the personification of mankind’s inherent punishment mechanism, is to punish or regulate humans whenever they truly fall down on their job. In this model, man’s most important responsibility on earth is to hold evil and ignorance at bay in actual practice, rather than merely give lip service to this. In other words, being wise or doing good for humankind is not only required here on earth but they also can’t be faked because if man fakes it by great lying and hypocrisy, for example, it will be reflected in the world of men by the dominance of both evil and ignorance. Therefore, humans don’t have the luxury of being foolish or fakers on earth because if they are, their world will surely be dominated by both evil and ignorance. Thus, man either holds to the right track or he will pay a high price if he veers off on the wrong track, which is suffering in a world ruled by evil and ignorance! In Correctionism, man’s worst hell is always right here on earth.
In the Cultural Dynamics model, we can’t speak of human evil without including human ignorance because ignorance is the greatest enabler of evil among men. Ignorance isn’t just not knowing things, it’s also ignoring things. For example, men are quite fond of placing their religious or secular beliefs over the Truth and this has been the source of great power for the devil. When men do this, they’re guilty of holding the Truth, which is also their best defense against the devil, in utter contempt for the sake of the most influential and cherished religious and secular beliefs. Correctionism teaches that blind faith in any belief of man is one of the Devil’s greatest assets because he feeds on it and becomes stronger, the stronger our blind faith becomes. This is so because it’s a grave error to believe that such a thing as an infallible human or an infallible human institution is even possible. However, the vast majority of humanity has nevertheless been convinced that such things do exist, which is also a major reason why human evil and ignorance are today more powerful than ever. This brings us to another axiom of Correctionism that is also a pillar of the Cultural Dynamics model of how man’s world actually works:
Human life acts as a mirror, that ever reflects back to us the true nature of our most influential and cherished beliefs. If we see major problems in everyday life, for example, then we can be certain that there are major problems with our most influential and cherished beliefs.
Therefore, you can’t have a world ruled by evil and ignorance such as we’ve had for many thousands of years here on earth without placing the blame for this dismal state of affairs squarely on the beliefs that rule men’s minds and the conduct they produce. This is true because in Correctionism we also learn that:
We can always tell how mankind is doing on earth by the actual state of the world in which men live. If the right beliefs are plugged into the human mind, men will attain the golden age; however, if the wrong beliefs are plugged into the human mind, men can be made to fight like cats and dogs or live like devils and fools upon the earth.
Moreover, Correctionism teaches that the world of men will invariably be ruled by evil and ignorance whenever men fail in their primary responsibility here on earth; and that is to actually hold evil and ignorance in check rather than merely give lip service to this. When we consider that mankind is currently heading towards a digital dark age, this tells us without a doubt that man’s cultures or societies have indeed been taken over by evil and ignorance; this also means that the vast majority of mankind has been horribly deceived by the most influential and cherished, religious and secular, beliefs of the day, yet they don’t even realize it. There’s great irony in the foregoing statement because in any era ruled by evil and ignorance, such as that we live in today, the most popular and influential beliefs will always be those favored by the devil, which is just another name for the cunning of human evil and the obstinacy of human ignorance.
The foregoing information should be sufficient for one to realize that humanity is now failing miserably in its eternal struggle against its own evil and ignorance as a species, and has been doing so for many thousands of years. What could be more fitting at this critical time in human history, than to completely rethink our view of how man’s world actually works? To this end, Correctionism offers Cultural Dynamics, and its model of man’s world, to assist in rectifying major errors in how people commonly see the world of men.
