0019 At this juncture, I stand at the threshold of the section titled, “Progressive Depersonalization”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michaud claims that the progressive agenda depersonalizes the individual.  He starts with the ironic, progressive slogan: The personal is the political.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0020 In order to appreciate this slogan, I start with the virtual nested form in the realm of actuality<\/em>.  A virtual nested form is a feature of a three-level interscope.  It consists of a column in one of the three elements.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a picture of the virtual nested form in the realm of actuality<\/em> for the progressive interscope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Figure 08<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0021 This virtual nested form may be spoken as follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The normal context of permanent revolution2c<\/sub><\/em> virtually brings the dyadic actuality, economics [transforms] morals & culture2b<\/sub>,<\/em> into the potential of group [subsumes] individual2a<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This nested form operates as a demiurge.  A demiurge is a gnostic divinity that is forever building its world.  It is typically opposed to another demiurge that is forever building an opposite world.  So, it is always one demiurge against another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0022 Of course, I can easily guess the identity of the opposing demiurge<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opposing demiurge is the one that victimizes individuals who do not conform to morality or culture,<\/em> thereby inspiring them to identify with a victim group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a comparison of the actuality2<\/sub> of the traditional slogan<\/em> and the actuality2b<\/sub> of the situation-level of the progressive agenda<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Figure 09<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0023 Clearly, economic intervention2b<\/sub> is a tool for the permanent revolution2c<\/sub> to use, in order to transform the ways that traditional morality sustains culture2b<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, of all the groups that subsume the individual2a<\/sub><\/em>, none can involve traditional morality and culture2<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0024 Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Christian morality, the individual is called into mystical union with Jesus Christ, one of the three Persons of the Triune Godhead.  So, the “group2a<\/sub>” is actually the divine oikos, or the economy of God<\/em>.  This is discussed in the second interlude in How To Define the Word “Religion”<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The individual2a<\/sub> does not adopt an identity1a<\/sub>.  The individual2a<\/sub> becomes an identity1a<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0025 What is identity1a<\/sub>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ah, in the Christian schema, identity1a<\/sub> is the person that I call “me”<\/em>.  It1a<\/sub> is not a group2a<\/sub> affiliation3a<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Jungian terminology, the assumption of the individual into the divine oikos<\/em> is called, “individuation”.  It is not called, “subsumption”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0026 So, Michaud is on target in claiming that the progressive agenda depersonalizes the individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It does so by re-defining the word, “identity”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the progressive ideation, identity1a<\/sub> is the potential underlying group affiliation3a<\/sub><\/em> and supports the subsumption of the individual into a political group2a<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The personal2a<\/sub> is subsumed into the political2a<\/sub>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
