        USP-049  'Intentional refusal to understand'


Understanding Suppression Series # 49

(See Footnote for understanding)



One of many definitions of 'Suppressive Person':

Someone who intentionally refuses to understand people and situations
and people's problems, and who intentionally refuses to understand
himself, his own problems and his own actions.


I hope this knowledge helps you not to waste countless hours or weeks
or years trying to get a Suppressive Person to understand life or some
part of life.

He DOES NOT WANT TO UNDERSTAND.

You have to handle that INTENTION of his - you can simply and bluntly
point it out to him, as a start - before you get anywhere at all.

Usually he will then go into 'pretending to understand', or into
'understanding it only as long as you talk to him' and forgetting it
as soon as a situation comes up to which it applies:  Because HE has
his own "understanding" of the situation - which is not understanding
at all, but which is made up of fixed ideas, fixed solutions, and
compulsions that he uses to substitute and put aside any understanding
of certain situations of life.

It is the horror of any responsible teacher, of any responsible
parent, and of any responsible friend.

The first thing they should realize, and point out to their pupil,
child or friend, is that HE DOES NOT WANT TO UNDERSTAND.

You can pile up data and stacks of evidence in front of his nose. He
will say:  "OK, fine, thank you", and he will turn around and do as
if that data and evidence is not existing, or is false, or unimportant,
or irrelevant.

A Suppressive Person does not WANT to understand.

Footnote:

You can't have or maintain good without understanding evil.

NONE of the present sciences, therapies and religions, and
none of the "-isms" or "-ologies" of today understand evil
or suppression.

Yet they have abundant - and sometimes very expensive -
recipes for "being good forever". Even when they claim to
understand evil, they want to be unaware of and hide their
own evil and so they become evil themselves, and they meet
evil with evil in order "to defend themselves or their group".

It is not possible to handle properly someone who is evil or
something that is evil WITHOUT understanding WHAT PRECISELY
you are handling.

YOU CAN'T HANDLE AN EVIL BEING, FOR INSTANCE, UNLESS YOU
UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE HANDLING A BEING, AND THAT YOU ARE
HELPING HIM - A BEING - TO CONTROL HIS EVIL.

The Understanding Suppression Series will help you - maybe
for the first time - to understand evil well enough in order
to maintain good. I have taken care to write as easy to
understand as possible. The Series starts out very simple,
and currently consists of about 150 separate observations.

Keeping this knowledge to yourself will not maintain good
- because others, lacking understanding of evil, will
unintentionally assist evil - but you sharing this knowledge
with others WILL make you win over evil, and WILL safeguard
good.
