Dean Gotcher’s 

Diaprax Conference April 30-May 1

How America’s  Worldview is Being Changed

By Steve Olree, St. Louis MetroVoice

 

    On Friday, April 30th from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. and continuing on Saturday, May 1st from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., one of the most important conferences ever held in the St. Louis area will be conducted at Liberty Christian Church in O’Fallon, MO. This conference, entitled Dean Gotcher’s Diaprax Conference-How America’s Worldview is Being Changed, will explain how a subtle yet powerful psychosocial system of manipulation has permeated every facet of American culture, including the Church, to  literally change the way people think. This conference will cover the history of the Diaprax Process, how it works and how it has been and is presently being utilized in business, education, law enforcement, government, the African American community and the Church. You will also learn who has developed these techniques in America, why it has been instituted and how you can resist it.

    Dean Gotcher, who will be leading this conference, is the founder of the Institution for Authority Research and has coined the word “Diaprax” to describe the Process.

 

A New Way of Thinking

    Perhaps you have been told at work, at church, at your children’s school, or have heard political leaders tell you that you must have a “new way of thinking,” or a “new paradigm.”  You hear leaders in your community exhort you that “change” is inevitable and that it is foolish to resist, rather you must “adapt” to it. The world is changing, and you must adapt to keep up. Old traditional ways of thinking are dead; and you and your organization (company, ministry, church, government or school) must change in order to thrive in the new climate. If you have questioned the need or the justification for these changes, you may have been accused of being “divisive,” not a “team player,” or “not adaptable to change.” Does such talk make you uneasy in your spirit, but you’re not sure why? Do you get the sense that there is something wrong, but you can’t put your finger on it?

    If so, that is your spiritual discernment working. Frequently, spiritual discernment will alert you that there is something wrong in a given situation. You may or may not be able to immediately determine the cause of your discomfort. Just as physical pain can be a warning sign, this spiritual uneasiness should not be ignored, rather it is a signal to seek answers and the truth.

    Life is frequently a changing experience for people. The word “change” carries no real value unless you know in what direction the change will take you. A change can be good or bad, depending on where you start and where you end up. You need to know both starting and stopping points to make a judgment about whether the change is good or bad. But have you noticed that the language and terminology used by these leaders who advocate change is ambiguous and unclear? They never specifically state where they want to lead you or your organization. But the changes that are advocated almost always lead us away from a dependence on God and His authority, and towards a reliance on the wisdom of men.

    Have you noticed how hard it is to get a straight or complete answer to your questions? The ‘change agents,’ also known as ‘facilitators,’ depend on ambiguity and confusion to conceal their intent.  They may seem very sincere and well-meaning. But sincerity is not a measure of being correct. These so-called leaders fit into two categories. Both groups have adapted their thinking to this new way of thought; they have become “Transformational Thinkers.” The first group is sincere, but is operating under extreme deception. The overwhelming majority of these leaders fall into this group. They have no real idea who they are serving, and are what Karl Marx called “useful idiots.” They can be so far gone over into this “new way of thinking” that they don’t even realize what they are doing. The other group of change agents however is very aware of the intent and direction of the changes that are being made to our culture.

    The Church has been largely impotent in the face of these developments. Now change agents are also gaining power in many churches, transforming them to man’s vision of what the Church should be instead of what God intended it to be. Thus the Church becomes not only more irrelevant in our culture, but a willing participant in the process of change. These changes are all necessary to effect the transformation of our culture from one based upon a Christian biblical foundation (a Christian Worldview) to one based upon atheistic, humanistic principles (a Secular Humanist Marxist Worldview).

    It is absolutely vital for Christians to understand that there is a common process and philosophy behind these changes. The change agents advocating and instituting these alterations to the fabric of our society all use common techniques and strategies in what’s known as the “Dialectic Process.” Mr. Dean Gotcher, as mentioned earlier, has documented this process and coined the word Diaprax to describe it.

   

What is the Diaprax?

    Researcher Phillip Worts, a detective in the San Diego Police Department who has observed and studied the Diaprax as it is applied within law enforcement, writes: “Briefly, the process that Mr. Gotcher and his team will be talking about is a psychosocial methodology (a system of techniques), which have been and are presently being used ‘incrementally’ to change our society and culture by literally changing the way people think. This Process is so subtle and deceptive that most people never realize that they have been manipulated and thus had their worldview altered or completely changed. The primary goal of the Diaprax Process is the destruction of any influence of absolute authority, or absolute truth within individual consciences and within society.

    “The concept of the dialectic has been around for a long time. It is simply that of opposite positions: Thesis (position) vs. Antithesis (opposite position). In traditional logic, if my thesis was true, then all other positions were by definition untrue.  For example, if my thesis is 2 + 2 = 4, then all other answers (antithesis) are false. Georg W.F. Hegel, the nineteenth century German philosopher, turned that concept upside down by equalizing Thesis and Antithesis thus proposing that all things were relative.  In other words, he contended that there is no such thing as absolute truth.  Instead, ‘truth’ is found in ‘Synthesis,’ or a compromise between the Thesis and Antithesis. This is the heart and soul of the ‘consensus process.’

     “This philosophy is diametrically opposed to the Judeo-Christian Worldview which holds that God exists, that He exists outside material creation and that man has a moral obligation to Him and His laws.  God is transcendent and thus truth is absolute and transcendent, outside of our ability to manipulate it.  This all changed with Hegel. Man could now challenge any authority and position, even God.  Since there is no such thing as absolute truth then my truth is just as good or relevant as your truth, so don’t tell me what to think or how to behave.  As Friedrich Nietzsche, the ‘God is Dead’ philosopher, would later say, ‘There is absolutely no absolute.’  Now 2 + 2 can equal 5, or 17 or whatever you ‘feel’ is right.  (Hint: This is why our schools are failing.  All teachers are certified on Benjamin Bloom’s work who stated, “…we recognize the point of view that truth and knowledge are only relative and that there are no hard and fast truths which exist for all time and all places.”)

     “At about the same time that Hegel was passing from the scene, Karl Marx caught the revolutionary fever. He drew heavily from Hegel (the dialectic) and Ludwig Feuerbach (materialism). He picked up where the other philosophers left the discussion, but with a twist.  He scornfully stated, ‘The philosophers have only interpreted the world in different ways. The point, however, is to change it.’

    “In the Marxian interpretation of reality, God had been abandoned. Alone in his universe, man was to fill the vacuum left by religion with materialism. Religion was the enemy of all progress.  As Marx wrote in 1843, ‘Religion is the opium of the people.’  No longer bound to a relationship with his Creator, the social relationship of ‘man to man’ became the principle of Marx’s theory.  It followed that these social relationships, which necessarily involve conflict, cause the changes in human progress.  As the opening words of the Communist Manifesto announce: ‘The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.’  Note the dialectic reasoning: the clash of opposites produces synthesis and change.  Man, freed from religious restraints will carry the revolution (change via conflict) forward until all are equal in a man made utopia on earth.  To that end, the Manifesto concludes, ‘Working men of all countries, unite!’”

    Like a steady drip of water, the relentless imposition of the Dialectic Process on our culture continues to destroy our Republic and traditional biblical absolutes. This conference will not only equip you to recognize when the Dialectic Process is being used on you, your family members, organization or business, but will also instruct you on how to combat it.
