Remaking America by George Shollenberger, Idea XXXXXV (Changing the World from Mechanism to Holism, III)

In the mid-1960s, Donald Andrews, who was a chemist and author of "The Symphony of Life," was saying that the universe has a god, that the universe is filled with wholes that communicate to each other, and that the humans have souls. Andrews lists the names of many others (e.g., Weyl, Whitehead, Goethe, Niebuhr), who were also saying similar words. In the 1960s, some physicists were also saying that the fundamental stuff of the universe is filled with organizations, rather than filled with physical atoms.

However, after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled favorably on behalf of the atheism of Madelyn Murray O’ Hair in 1967, physicists and life scientists began to reject God. So, by the 1970s, atheism was growing, the number of drug sellers and users were increasing, crime was increasing, inflation was increasing, President Nixon was reducing the space program, and I was employed by the U.S. Department of Justice to help solve the rising crime problem.

By the late 1980s, I concluded that the criminal mind is developed by flawed symbolic languages. After reviewing Andrews work again, I now conclude that the criminal mind begins to develop with poor social communications. This mind becomes increasingly permanent when the criminal’s ideas are communicated energetically to the other wholes of the body. Thus, when a criminal shoots a person, the energy disrupted in the person’s body came from a reinforced idea of the criminal and not from the gun of the criminal.

With personal and social responsibilities, the people of a self-government should be able to eliminate the development of criminals, However, without social responsibilities, a democracy can become a nation of many criminals. Isn’t this what the USA has become since the 1970s?
