THE TRAGEDY KNOWN AS "U.K. SOCIAL SERVICES”.



WELL OVER 90% OF ITS STAFF

ARE CARING AND HUMANE

INDIVIDUALS, BUT THEY ARE

INSUFFICIENTLY TRAINED,

AND MUCH OF THE TRAINING

THEY DO RECEIVE PROVES

CLOSE TO USELESS.



The massive amounts of Taxpayers’ money lavished on Social Services should, if properly invested, be enough to guarantee superlative handling of the problems which regularly crop up in the social sector.

Unfortunately those problems are too often missed by Executives and Staffs who have never been properly trained to recognise and understand the significance of the vast range of human emotions and how they impinge on individual’s behaviour in relation to family and the wider community.

AND THE REASON FOR THIS IS REALLY RATHER SIMPLE.

Social Services are in the main governed by the same ancient and misguided research which forms the basis for Psychological and Psychiatric theories, the vast majority of which have been derived from a study of animals – Pavlov’s dogs, millions of rats, mice and numerous other assorted species.

Even though for centuries, practically every religion in the world has regarded Man as comprised of: “Body, Mind and Spirit”, or just simply as: “Body and Soul”, because ANIMALS CLEARLY DO NOT HAVE ANALYTICAL MINDS AND DO NOT MANIFEST THE SORT OF DECISION-MAKING AND FUTURE PLANNING ONE WOULD EXPECT FROM AN “ETERNAL” SOUL, practically every one of the multi-various and often opposing “psych” animal studies (which they regard as “life” studies) denies the existence of “Soul” and also of “Mind”.

Which denial is entirely to be expected, because, whilst both animals and Man possess flesh and blood bodies and the mental ability to IDENTIFY environmental phenomena, Man ALONE ALSO has the analytical abilities required to COMPARE and to DIFFERENTIATE between environmental beings, persona, objects and events, etc., PLUS having a Chief Executive Officer (or Soul) which determines the uses to which its body will be put and thus also the quality and duration of its body’s lifetime.

And in this last paragraph we have a very brief summary of why Mankind, although often physically inferior in size, strength, speed and attack & defence equipment, has to date proved himself the master of every other species on Earth, as well as master of an increasing proportion of his environment.

Taking mental, emotional and behavioural phenomena derived from animals which are demonstrably intellectually inferior to Man, and then using that same data to monitor and direct Man’s superior and fundamentally different behaviour, clearly continues the CREATING of social problems, rather than the solving of them.

300 years ago Alexander Pope rightly observed that: “THE PROPER STUDY OF MANKIND IS . . . . MAN”.   Nevertheless, psychiatrist Wilhelm Wundt (born in Leipzig in 1832, followed by Pavlov 1849, Freud 1856, Adler 1870, Jung 1875, Ellis and others) led the rest of psychiatry and psychology into the idea that we could all learn from experiments on, and studies of, the animal kingdom BECAUSE they all claim that Man is nothing more than a sophisticated 'animal' !

And these now proven desperately false theories they then applied – not only to individual men, women and children, and their monitoring and control - but also to their social interactions and responsibilities.

As a result, alongside butt-of-the-joke psychologists and provenly dangerous psychiatrists we have huge numbers of hard working and caring social workers tragically trying to do their best for humans with the “Social Sciences” designed by and for a totally different and inferior group of beings.

Problems dealt with by Social Services all inevitably involve “people”.  As a result Social Workers (just like Police and other Officials) must have a full understanding of both honest AND evasive human behaviour, if they are to recognise the fundamental and true nature of any individual problem, and thus come up with an effective solution.

There are nearly 60 identifiable human reactions to life and living, the majority of which you can NEVER learn from an animal, simply because animals just do not experience them.

These are the emotions which shape or hide the behaviour to be expected from an individual human in various sets of circumstances, and when a Social Worker is trained and practised in their recognition, that Worker is half way towards an effective solution, because he or she is operating from trained observation, knowledge, truth, facts, evidence, reality and actuality, rather than from theories, opinion, belief, hope and faith that Man IS, and is like, an animal.

But the psych theories on which Social Services mainly operate, in addition to regarding Man as fundamentally an animal, also regard the Brain as Man’s driving force in life.   BUT IT ISN’T.

The Brain is nothing more nor less than a superb electronic switchboard which handles communications between you (as a Soul) and your body, in order to be able to create effects in your environment AND to transmit to you the information about your environment which is collected by your five physical senses / perceptions.

Because psychiatrists and most psychologists – contrary to the massively greater number of religious faiths and believers - hold to the idea that Souls and Minds do NOT exist, the images they detect during brain-scans are falsely attributed to decision-making, planning, imagination, memory and all those activities actually originated – NOT BY THE BRAIN – but by the Soul in charge.  In other words, they are assigning CAUSE to what are in fact brain-scan detectable indications of Soul created EFFECTS as they take place in the Brain during their switchboard like transmissions between the Soul, the Body and the environment.

By missing and denying completely the Spiritual nature of Man and the existence of his Analytical Mind, and by mis-assigning the activities, qualities and goals of the Soul and the Analytical mind to the Brain, psychiatry, psychology, neurology and much of sociology have effectively diverted Man’s future progress down a path governed by psychiatrically promoted addiction and pharmaceutical profit motives

The fact that Brain is NOT the factor which distinguishes Man from animals is highlighted by the totally obvious fact that Man and animals BOTH HAVE BRAINS.  “Yes” say the psychs, “but they are of different sizes”. i.e. they are claiming that the varying size of a piece of grey matter from one flesh and blood animal body to another, is what determines each animal’s intelligence.

And some will even tell you that the reason a baby or young child is not as bright as an adult is because its head (and thus its Brain) is smaller !

So how do they explain the proven fact that in the first five years of a child’s life, a youngster learns far far more than the average adult in that same period ?  And does this mean that big adults are cleverer and more successful than small adults ?

Following a recent Social Services disaster in Derbyshire, when a baby was murdered by her own troubled mother, the main conclusion which seems to have been reached by the investigators is that, whilst it was well known that there was a problem, “there was a lack of professional curiosity”, and thus also a lack of effective decision-making and action.

But there has been no recognition or acknowledgement of the fact that this lack of interest or curiosity rests squarely on how much the APATHY which an unworkable, unsuccessful and failing set of professional theories AND TRAINING can dull workers’ perceptions, enquiring instincts and successful investigations.

And, because of INADEQUATE AND INEFFECTIVE TRAINING, that bored and monotonous level of enquiry extends beyond investigation and into the selecting of solutions for any problem which may have been rightly or wrongly decided upon.

In fact, because of the difficulties the average hard working, dedicated and caring Social Worker experiences in regularly producing fully effective outcomes, they themselves increasingly experience bouts of worry, uncertainty and apathy, and that apathy regularly manifests itself at all Staff levels including the Executive levels.

As consequence, whilst shortage of personnel or finance are usually publicly blamed, absence of full or appropriate training actually is very often detected.

Unfortunately however, because of the hold which Psychology and Psychiatry (as well as Pharmacology) has over the whole Social Services Sector, EVEN MORE costly IN-appropriate and IN-effective training is then entered into, along with a demand to government for more money.

The only proper study of the mind is to be found in the book: “DIANETICS® The Modern Science of Mental Health” by L. Ron Hubbard, which has sold infinitely more copies in practically every language spoken on Earth than any other mental health publication. As a result, Dianetics is by far the most widely used and effectively practised science of the mind, and one of Hubbard’s follow-up volumes entitled “SCIENCE OF SURVIVAL” laid the foundation for peaceful and effective social interaction.

Not surprisingly, Dianetics and Hubbard have both been viciously attacked since day one by German and American Psychiatry in a fruitless endeavour to perpetuate their pseudo-science and to maintain their entrenched “authoritative” "we've-been-here- longer" position with many government departments, including those in the United Kingdom.

Fortunately that situation is changing in many countries, not only because of Dianetics’ successes, but because of increasing psych failings in many sectors.

How To Rid Yourself Of Drug Addiction: Final Part:




THE TRAINING ROUTE

AND

THE WAY TO HAPPINESS.


Any addict who has just finished an assisted drug free withdrawal, as described in Part ONE of this post series, although no longer taking drugs or suffering from severe cold turkey effects, will normally feel a little shaken, and so may need to be stabilised in the “here and now” with a few locational training routines, something which takes a matter of hours rather than days.

Then the next two training steps are designed to ensure that his or her PREVIOUS DRUG USE HISTORY, in both body and mind terms, will no longer provide a basis for a return to drug usage.

Drug trips and cold turkey experiences both impinge on an addict's body and mind to a greater or lesser degree, and leave lasting problems which need handling.

Drug metabolites and toxic drug residues are stored or lodged in the fatty tissues of the body, and, under circumstances such as heavy physical work, intensive exercise, hot weather or other sweat generating activity (which can cause a breakdown of body fat) can be released back into the bloodstream and restimulate a demand for the drug, causing an unexpected and otherwise inexplicable 'trip' or 'high'.

To avoid this, it is therefore necessary to ensure that all these metabolites and toxic residues are discharged from the body under controlled sweating circumstances in a sauna, which action is supplemented by carefully measured vitamin and mineral dosages to combat any risk of that discharge creating circumstances where the body might again be prompted to alter its metabolism towards demand for more drugs.

After the addict has thus purged his or her body of all such metabolites and residues (quite incidentally including other stored poisons such as fertilisers, insecticides, hormones, weed-killers / herbicides and other agricultural, industrial and cleaning chemicals, etc.) a similar flushing out from the mind of irrational computations and weird decisions based on drug demands or drugged reactions is essential, to avoid such irrationalities influencing future decision making.

Like all recovery training, this step is done with another student “twin” or training partner both of which alternate as “Coach” and “Student”. i.e. the Coach learns what is required and then applies it with the Student who, when completed, then becomes the Coach, learns what is required and then helps his or her “twin” to also complete that step.

You will recognise that, at this point, the recovering addict (or Student) is not only comfortably no longer using any addictive substance, but that additionally he / she is now protected against a return to drug usage generated by both physical, mental and emotional demand factors which are part of his or her own personal addiction history.

The next steps therefore include learning to protect him or her self against FACTORS IN HIS OR HER PRESENT TIME & FUTURE ENVIRONMENT, especially including suppressive individuals in that environment, as well as lifestyle agreements he or she might earlier have made, and which they are now able to start recognising can contribute to a relapse into further drug usage - if they don't change those agreements.

Amongst other “return home” preparations covering lessons in communication and perception, morals, ethics, personal values and integrity, how to change conditions and other Graduation requirements, this includes training the Student to certainty on the sane and healthy living precepts contained in the famous booklet: “The Way To Happiness”, written by L. Ron Hubbard, and of which millions of copies have been distributed by government bodies and police forces around the world and in numerous languages.

Because Students are fully trained and have successfully, over a three month period, applied his or her training to themselves, as well as to their twins, their level of conviction and certainty is high enough to render them increasingly “self-determined” in their attitude to drugs, addiction and life in general,

In fact, 50 years of practice show that a Student who abstains for 12 months is extremely unlikely to use drugs ever again.  (Even an addict who has completed the first few of the above training steps can often thereafter comfortably abstain.)

Recovery is not about temporary “relief”.  It is about lasting relaxed abstinence.  It is not the “dry drunk” reformed alcoholic who continuously yearns for a drink, or the recently rehabilitated “one day at a time” ex-addict who has to continuously grit his teeth, bolster his resolve and walk on the other side of the road whenever he sees a former friend who is still using, or to avoid a pusher he once bought from.

No . . . . True recovery is about relaxed abstinence – the same condition as before the individual first used – and is defined by effective recovery training programmes as follows:

Any truly workable method of drug recovery training or rehabilitation must start with an UNAMBIGUOUS expression of an effective result, and successful rehabs hold that the only logical and compassionate goal for rehabilitation is ‘lifelong comfortable abstinence’, and practical experience has shown the best working definition to be:

A FULLY EMPLOYABLE FORMER ADDICT OR USER WHO:

i) since commencing a self-help ‘training for recovery’ programme has NOT used his or her original addictive substance(s) for a period provably of not less than six to twelve months, (depending on the drug(s) used and the period of usage),

ii) who remains fully convinced that (s)he will comfortably abstain for life,

iii) who has not replaced such earlier usage with another addictive substance, (e.g. methadone, alcohol or Subutex, etc.),

iv) who is now taking responsibility for his or her own life and family,

v) who no longer needs or wants further rehabilitative support, and,

vi) who is now also taking responsibility for, and is contributing to, his or her community.

It makes sense for any providers of self-help addiction recovery training and rehabilitation to have a goal for the programme they are offering.  If they don’t have a target to aim at, how can they ever know that they and their patient / client are winning and making progress.

Without a lasting abstinence goal, WHAT CAN POSSIBLY BE THE PURPOSE for spending time, money and effort on a rehab’s particular “treatment” or “counselling”?

SO, when seeking an effective recovery programme, it makes sense to always ask for and insist upon a clear expression – preferably in writing – of the intended purpose and goal of any particular programme.

Obviously, because cases differ, not every patient will attain that goal, but if the executives of a rehab organisation under consideration do not claim or cannot prove that at least half and up to three-quarters of their patients attain such an expressly stated valuable goal, is there any sense in signing a contract which offers results weighted in favour of failure rather than success?

In fact the acid test of any rehabilitation centre's ability to deliver lasting abstinence is to enquire if they are prepared to, AT LEAST IN PART, accept remuneration on a “Payment by Results” basis – medically tested against at least six months of relaxed abstinence from the date of commencement of their programme.

Around the world in 49 countries there are approaching one hundred residential self-help addiction recovery training centres (including prison units), and the number of such centres has increased practically every year since 1966.

How To Rid Yourself Of Drug Addiction: Part TWO:



NOT VIA  ANY FORM OF TREATMENT,


 BUT VIA THE TRAINING ROUTE.



To recover oneself to the lasting non-criminal natural state of relaxed abstinence into which 99% of addicts are born, there are three factors to be handled:

FIRST, one must gain full practical KNOWLEDGE of “how” to achieve abstinence.

SECOND, one must again take full RESPONSIBILITY for your body, your thinking, your life and the application of that knowledge, and,

THIRD, you will thus regain CONTROL of yourself, your body, your environment and the people in it.

But you may ask: why “training instead of “treatment”, and why must YOU be responsible rather than Dad, Mum, the doctor, a policeman or someone else ?

Well, this is because, whether we like it or not, life is unavoidably a do-it-for-yourself activity.  You can't live my life for me or anyone else, and neither I nor anybody else can live your life for you !  Please think about that for a moment.

As soon as you think in terms of “treatment”, you are usually thinking about someone else doing something FOR YOU or worse still TO YOU, and that means having a nursing, police or family adviser or “minder” for the rest of your life, which in fact is, in some ways, what got you into drug trouble in the first place.

As a result, the first bit of “knowledge” one needs is a clear understanding of how and why all addicts really do start to use drugs of one sort or another.

If you have a friend on drugs, and think back very carefully, you will recall that just prior to him (or her) starting, (s)he had a personal situation which (s)he was increasingly thinking was a problem for which a solution was needed, and when another friend, relative, colleague or professional suggested or advised that a certain substance would likely be the best thing to take to solve that problem, because drugs in the form of medicines have been agreed upon for generations as “problem solvers”, it was not hard for that problem beset friend to become convinced.

He / She thus became the victim, not only of the addiction creating nature of the drug, but also a victim of the sympathetic, misleading, sometimes well meant, erroneous beliefs of friends, or the bullshit sales talk of some professional adviser or pusher.

So there you are.  Isn't that great.  Addicts are off the hook.  They were a victim of false and misleading advice and of the addictive effects of the drug itself.

Absolutely true. BUT EQUALLY, when you look closer, it was the addict him or her self who made the decision, OR it was the addict themself who agreed to the doctor's advice.

HAD TO BE !

Because, whether we like it or not, we are all living our own lives. No one else is doing it, and no one else can.

Fortunately, this state of affairs gives us the clue to the quickest and most certain way out of addiction.   It tells us that, as we got ourselves into addiction, WE ARE THE ONES WHO CAN BEST GET OURSELVES OUT !

And when over the years you interview or help large numbers of addicts of all types, (as S.A.F.E. and our colleagues have) you find that 70 to 75% not only want to get off their addiction, but that they have been trying (sometimes daily) to quit from a time some three days, three weeks or three months after the date they started. More precisely, from the moment they fully realised and painfully understood just exactly what the drug was doing to them, and that they were trapped.

So we know, from 50 years of experience, that their problem is not willingness to quit – it is lack of knowledge as to HOW to quit.  Which of course is NOT a matter of “treatment” but a question of TRAINING.

SO EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO DO, YOU FIRST NEED TO LEARN, AND THEN YOU SIMPLY NEED TO APPLY IT TO YOURSELF.

This means starting by taking responsibility for the success of the drug-free withdrawal procedure which was described in our earlier post on: “How To Rid Yourself Of Addiction: Part ONE”.

Obviously I can't possibly give you the whole training course here on this blog.  But I can give you a general idea of the programme a recovering addict goes through in the 12 to 14 weeks at the residential addiction recovery training centre we work with in East Sussex.

But now we are getting into our next post, which is: “How To Rid Yourself Of Addiction: Part THREE”.

So, if you're still interested - see you there.

What Is Meant By An Addiction-Free Society ?



IT IS THE OPPOSITE OF
THE “BIO-CHEMICAL SOCIETY”
WE ARE CURRENTLY INTO.


The essence of an addiction-free society is
that no one is threatened by
the behaviour of addicts or dealers,
because no one is using addictive drugs,
and, no one intends to use them.


BUT THE UNFORTUNATE TRUTH IS THAT THIS
IS MOST LIKELY IMPOSSIBLE AND UNOBTAINABLE !

Nevertheless, such a fact should never be allowed to stop us from having a worthwhile goal and trying to reach it. Especially when the ability to get closer and closer to such a goal is itself a valued result. Worth aiming for, because it has the vital effect of benefiting a majority in our society.


SO THE DEFINITION OF AN “EFFECTIVE” ANTI
DRUG ADDICTION POLICY IS THEREFORE ONE

WHICH CONTINUOUSLY MOVES
A SOCIETY OR COMMUNITY

IN THE DIRECTION OF

TOTAL ABSTINENCE.

i.e. ALWAYS TOWARDS A SOCIETY
FREE OF ADDICTIVE DRUGS.


By definition, such a policy must essentially result in less and less overall production and distribution of ALL TYPES of addictive drugs – illicit, licensed AND prescription drugs, plus a continuing reduction in demand for them, coupled with a decrease in the number of citizens of all ages using ALL ADDICTIVE DRUGS, both by choice and involuntarily.

ISN’T THE ABOVE POLICY WORTH FULLY INVESTIGATING ?
TO KNOW MORE ABOUT CREATING A SOCIETY
WHICH AVOIDS and CURES ADDICTION,
AND WHICH TRAINS ADDICTS HOW TO THEMSELVES
ESCAPE FROM THEIR TRAP:
