/ Chapter 2 PLENEURETHICS |

The daring new ideas introduced to an incredulous professional world by Pleneurethics in years past set the stage for today’s beneficial advancement in the practical life sciences. The world-wide distribution of Pleneurethical literature commenced within a few weeks after the first volume was off the press on January 30, 1965. Embassies of the leading nations of the world, located in Bangkok, Thailand, were each given five sets of Pleneurethical volumes. Hundreds of books were distributed to these embassies with a request that the books be forwarded to their country’s leading institutions for comment or criticism. Parenthetically, only the Russians bothered to respond to the overtures of the author. The other leading nations of the world remained strangely silent. The author was prepared for scathing denunciation and merciless criticism and ridicule. All new ideas and movements have been so treated by the orthodox institutions whose area of influence the new move invaded. But strangely enough, not one note of adverse comment was heard from any institutional source. At first this lack of vituperative attention could not be understood. Now it can be understood. The orthodoxy cannot denounce Pleneurethics because the teaching is true. They are too busy incorporating it into their own special fields of knowledge and practice. Spokesmen for not one institution have derided Pleneurethics. They evidently have been occupied in studying Pleneurethics and planning how best to contain it by surreptiously adopting key tenets of Pleneurethics. Once these institutions have re-postured themselves, there may then be open attack on Pleneurethics. One of allopathic medicine’s responses to the advance of Pleneurethics was to arrange publicity for an article on stress which appeared in July 1970 edition of Reader’s Digest. This was publicized as a research milestone of the twentieth century. Psychiatry has also responded; its restructuring was signaled by the information appearing in the June 1969 edition of Saga magazine and Time magazine in the spring of 1971. The church has revised its structure in several significant ways since the advent of Pleneurethics. Theologians now abandon their old God to establish a new God with some similarity to Pleneurethical view upon man’s relationship to the Absolute. Support for Pleneurethics Theory The author read, in July 1970 Reader’s Digest, an article outlining “one of the Twentieth Century’s milestone research achievements.” According to the article, Dr. Hans Selye, Director of the University of Montreal’s Institute of Experimental Medicine and Surgery, discovered that “under continuous stress—either physical or mental—some vital body part gives way, leading to a variety of illnesses, and eventually to death.” He asked: “Could stress also be the common denominator for most human illnesses?” The above theory is simply a restatement of the Pleneurethical theory on the source of illness. It is startling how rapidly the Pleneurethical theories and postulates are being absorbed by prominent orthodox authorities. Smarting under the impact of Pleneurethics, psychiatry is openly abandoning its long-time refuge, the unconscious mind concept. Time magazine in the early part of 1971 carried an article concerning the pronouncements of a University of Washington psychiatrist. The psychiatrist made no mention of the unconscious mind in the article, but bore down heavily on conscious mental stress. He claimed that accumulations of stressful mental problems eventually causes breakdown. Pleneurethical theory on dream analysis was also openly supported last year by Dr. Krippner of the Menninger Dream Institute through an article in Saga magazine. Of course this new psychiatric position is simply an adaptation of a part of the Pleneurethical message, a message available to all since August 1964 when Pleneurethics writing first commenced. It is evident that several professions have been embarrassed by Pleneurethical breakthroughs. Rather than acknowledge Pleneurethics, they are sliding over into Pleneurethics, but calling it their own discovery. However, this maneuver is all right with Pleneurethics, because it is the suffering people who will be helped in the end. Whoever gets credit does not matter. In the spring of 1968 the author realized that his style of writing was not suitable for the popular mind. Therefore, he employed a local professional writer to produce a popular version of Pleneurethics suitable for the paperback and magazine reading public. From that date, early summer 1971, the writer has been unable to get any of his work on Pleneurethics published in magazines, newspapers, or in the paperback publishers market. Resistance of the media to the advent of Pleneurethics is very firm. Pleneurethics has not only challenged the views of the old guard, but it has advanced an entirely new system to replace old thought and custom. Thus, Pleneurethics re-shapes the world of thought to eventually overrule archaic theories and practices which have harassed the humble people for centuries. Already, vast shifting may be observed in institutions that have remained intransgiently immovable for decades, even centuries in some instances. Top leaders in these institutions, recognizing the potential force of Pleneurethics as a vigorous sponsor for truth, have shifted in dual effort to contain Pleneurethics and to prevent Pleneurethics from eclipsing them. The benefits of Pleneurethical influence on civilization are already commencing to become evident. The future benefit of Pleneurethics to the world will be limitless and inestimable.
Pleneurethics for a Better Life Pleneurethics is a way of life based on a new concept of reality. It is a system of thought which provides an everlasting ethical standard with which any person may constructively identify. Pleneurethics is a permanent standard. It will not shift through interpretation over the centuries because of skin color acceptance or rejection, or national heritage, or whim of a capricious clergy opportunistically bending with the times. This unique standard of Pleneurethics has application in all fields of human endeavor. Once it is fully understood by any person, that person immediately achieves a deep feeling of satisfaction from belonging to an everlasting institution of pure merit. Pleneurethics is a device for helping mankind. It is an implement for assisting both the individual person and the masses of individuals grouped to form a civilization. It is also a weapon to circumvent or beneficially modify those evil schools and their institutions and corporations, who now prey upon the innocent people. Pleneurethics, faithful to pure science, endorses no particular religion or politic. Hence, Pleneurethics does not attempt to organize groups of people in power blocs, nor does Pleneurethics intend to act militantly against any state or religion or minority group. Moreover, Pleneurethics, does not form alliances with any group to exert better collective influence. No one will ever be asked to donate money for temple building in Pleneurethics. Each woman and man builds her or his own temple. It is built by enlightened thinking, kind deeds, and considerate behavior without thought of reward. All this, and more, should be done in the name of Pleneurethics. Although Pleneurethics is not a religion and endorses no world religion; it does offer a philosophy concerning the origin of the universe and all in it. There are no priests of Pleneurethics. Similarly, there are no sheep charged to follow its teachings on blind faith. Moreover, Pleneurethics does not menace state government for control of the lives of people as does the church, but rather, Pleneurethics puts itself below state government chosen by the people. Pleneurethics makes no alliance with officials of the state. The only alliance by Pleneurethics is individually with the people constituting the state. The details of how they choose to organize themselves for state government is beyond the scope of Pleneurethics, except that they organize themselves for ethical purpose. But remembering that humiliating peace through surrender to the aggressive violence of the hooligan is unethical. The Pleneurethical nation will not invite disaster for its citizens by turning the other cheek to terrorists whether they be adolescents or mature adults. Punishment for terrorists and hardcore criminals will be sufficient to deter them, swiftly and completely. Neither will citizens of the Pleneurethical nation be hamstrung by staggering fiscal outlays to coddle recedivists and habitual hooligans. Pleneurethics offers an outlet for militancy which is positive rather than negative. It gives a direction to modern youth movement that will benefit both youth and the world. It does not strike down, but builds up instead. Pleneurethics does not seek to preserve any particular civil establishment or any special social system. Neither does it seek to destroy or overthrow any system or establishment now operative in world society. Pleneurethics simply addresses itself to the task of bringing a personal sense of inner ethical well-being, and enlightened comprehension of the rights of others. Once each person has accepted responsibility for his own ethical upgrading, world systems will automatically adjust. No bloody revolution to terrorize people will be required or desired.
Pleneurethics ushers an exciting new era of civilization’s
advancement. A refreshing alternative to mysterious and stifling Hitherto, people were either good Christians or worthless pagans, brilliant scientists or impractical visionaries. Now there is a respectable middle ground. The way to this ground recognizes and integrates the highest ethics of the good man, and the pure science for the rational man. The new way provides a common rock upon which the thoughtful man or woman may stand steadfastly, along with others of their kind. Among the benefits of Pleneurethics is that it offers a respectable refuge to people wishing to commit themselves to the good and ethical community. Hitherto there was only the church with its several denominations or perhaps the University Righteous Athiests League or refuge. Already there appears strong evidence that merely through its emergence and existence, Pleneurethics has forced beneficial changes throughout several institutions of civilization. A number of professional fields have engaged in rapid reposturing of their basic stance on fundamental affairs. Even though they could never openly acknowledge the impact of Pleneurethics upon them, they have almost frantically revised their basic premises and eventual goals. They have done this to avoid philosophical collision with Pleneurethics at some future date. A collision in which they would surely come off second best. Moreover, by adopting certain of tenets and canons of Pleneurethics, they not only strengthen their position, but they try to neutralize the overwhelming force of the Pleneurethical battery of truth.
Emergence of Pleneurethics
The line of activity which resulted in the creation of
Pleneurethics commenced simply as an absorbing avocation. It was a
work of love, devoid of commercial preoccupation. And in the doing of it
by himself, the author was free to move as he resolved, unhindered by
precedent or crippling inertia peculiar to older institutions. Being
expendable, he did not worry about the reception his notions would The defect in other schools was so serious and their shortcomings so great that the author was obligated to establish his own school of thought—if he were to remain true to his convictions. The business of life has been the search and development of that which has culminated in Pleneurethics. Pleneurethics sprang from a wish to discover new truth about life. Man and his environment were the scope of the search. The avenue of entry, as it evolved over the years, became man’s neural system. The approach was by way of pure science and personal revelation. In the narrowest sense, Pleneurethics is involved with the creation of better mental and physical health for an individual through correct neurological management. In its broadest sense, it is concerned with fostering the highest level of civilization possible for humankind. A precise definition of Pleneurethics is virtually impossible because of its very newness. As time passes and as it becomes more generally known, a suitable definition will become easier to lay down. In its beginning, a definition which satisfied the untutored person would not satisfy him or her after becoming well-acquainted the work and theory. In final analysis, Pleneurethics is what the word says it is: a fully developed brain capability turning on a mental hub of highest practical morality.
Pleneurethics sprang from invincible avenues of pure science
in anatomy and physiology. It by-passed the stinky halls of chemistry
and medicine where all is interpreted in terms of marketable dosages and
quick profitability. To really comprehend Pleneurethics, one must
acquaint himself with its roots in the structure and function In the Pleneurethical university, a person will face first the colleges of Physics and Physiology and Anatomy, after that he will observe the colleges of Psychology and Human Affairs, and, still later, he will see the colleges of Chemistry and Numbers. The pulse of pure creation from which Pleneurethics was drawn has always been available. It has been available to those who sought it out and attuned to its beat. It is still there and will continue to be there till the end of time.
The Author’s Work In doing his work, the author has been faced with several hostile intertias. Not the least of which is that presented by the scholastic academics themselves. To protect their institutional position, they are reluctant to evince even serious interest in the work of one who fails to sport a Ph.D. or even a M.A. These bastions of rote learning turn their snobbish backs methodically upon all, except those who have graduated from their tortured halls. The educational academics are fearful for their very existence should they openly applaud the work of an irregular. A renegade scholar, a sort of bastard in rhetoric who spurned their halls and degrees, must not be granted recognition. Should word get around that things of merit are to be accomplished in difficult fields of learning and technology by just ordinary non-academic people, the very substance of these universities as they are known today will be impaired. The universities should be shaken out of their smug rut where all merit is alleged to be contained in the modern doctoral degree. Pleneurethics just may do this by passing on its inexorable way to its own destiny. Through his writings the author will build a new professional platform, and from that standard alter the structure of the civilized world beneficially. The new professional field of Pleneurethics cuts across many existing fields to fill an enormous gap in knowledge, theory, and practice. The people of the world will profit handsomely when Pleneurethical principles are applied to them. People reading this work are upset to find that the author does not hold an academic degree in medicine, psychiatry, or even theology. His degree was in Public Administration with one year of graduate work in the Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Washington. The Carnegie Corporation paid a fellowship for his year of graduate work. By training the author is a public administrator. His writing of Pleneurethics is aimed at the public. If he is obligated to carry the label of any particular degree, he prefers it to be that of public administrator. This was his initial degree and perhaps it fits him best. After that, he prefers the title of Pleneurethicist. However, he does not aspire to that title. Nor does he feel qualified for it, since it is of his own design and manufacture. It seems more appropriate for those who will be subsequently entitled to it. In Pleneurethics the author has endeavored to introduce a new avenue of attack on problems hitherto considered to be approachable only by way of scientific methods. The so-called scientific method, and the particular group of people who use it, should be open to question just like anything or anybody else. Many stupidities, both of commission and omission, appear in strict scientific circles. The scientific method itself is also not perfect and lends itself to abuse depending upon its user. His attacks on life’s problems recognizes scientific methods and assertions but with a certain calculated irreverance generated by sympathy with revelation. His approach to the solution of human problems is spurred by a sensitivity for inspiration and revelation. He has checked and double-checked his revelation, and much of it is discarded because it fails to meet his own brand of examination and certification. But some of it survives. He has put much of this down in books. And he challenges anyone to attempt its destruction. His revelation does not come from any personal or supernatural God as is supposed to exist by some philosophers and theologians. His inspiration comes directly from an intense effort involving his earthly mind and his equally earthly brain, because the problems to which he addresses himself are also of earthly nature. To prepare for this new form of analysis and synthesis, the author had schooled himself in the sciences as well as the philosophies, religions, anthropologies, and sociologies. It is difficult to speak easily about Pleneurethics, having just finished seven years creating it in written form, and such a creation seldom has an easy birth. In one hundred years any schoolboy could give a better and more valid brief of Pleneurethics. Pleneurethics did not come from any particular type of training or from any special school. Rather it came from a lifetime of looking into this and that, and making observations about life followed by experiment and postulate, check and cross-check. Defects in other philosophies forced the emergence of Pleneurethics. Teachings of other men, formed into schools of thought, occupied his attention in early years. Each school of thought contained truth, but along with this precious scrap of truth came large doses of the personal bias and prejudice peculiar to these giants of yesteryear. Although he revered such men, and honored their memory above most all else, he puts one thing above them: his own quest for truth in pure science. He avoided committing himself to any outside attraction for fear he would be torn from destiny. Achievement of his destiny was menaced by friends who, not understanding the early writing, exerted heavy pressure to divert the flow of thought from Pleneurethics to such topics as tourists’ guides to Indochina, or politics and war in Vietnam.
Indeed, friends were critical of the style of Pleneurethical
writing. They felt he was trying to write a saleable, novel-type thing,
when in fact he was striving mightily to lay down the law of
Pleneurethics that would survive the ages. They thought he was He has done his thing, and his thing is Pleneurethics. He would rather have done that than anything else—be it family head, city mayor, state governor, national president, or any other post of merit. Each person should find his real self and his real destiny. Should he fail to perform his destiny, whether it be big or small, his life will be incomplete.The design of destiny will somehow be the loser. It matters not the shape of one’s destiny: tilling the soil, herding sheep, or professing knowledge before a class. Man is not complete until he has done his work, and found therein his real contentment and refuge. Neural System Pleneurethics is perhaps best identified for the present as the system that relates all affairs of man to his central neural system. It is the brain that takes the pounding of daily life on earth, and it receives this stress from many divergent sources. All things to which the brain is sensitive collects and accumulates in the brain. When the brain becomes overloaded, it rebels. This rebellion is reflected to both the mind and body in a limitless, bewildering variety of symptoms of illness and disease. The structural distortion of brain tissue which results in disruption to normal energy patterns is the central thesis of Pleneurethics. Brain tissue is stressed by every vector to which it is subjected. Stress may be useful or pathological depending upon the sort of stress, amount of any certain sort of stress, plus the way in which various stresses accumulate to form a pattern of stress in brain tissues.
Once the structure of the brain is altered, the function of
the brain is likewise influenced. The structure of the brain may be
altered in a micro-structural way, or in a macro-structural way complete
with The ways in which the neural system may be harmed are many. It is harmed by mechanical force applied accidentally. It is mauled by poisons consumed or from harmful drugs taken. It is menaced by excessive noise from the jackhammer ripping into the pavement nearby, the busy airport, the factory, or the city street intersection. It is jeopardized by poisonous pollutions coming from outside the body, or generated by the chronic illness process from within. Most assuredly it is imperiled by corrosive chemicals introduced helter skelter into the body by commercial pharmacy and greedy doctoral cohorts. Man’s neural system may also be harmed from bad thinking, overwork, unremitting stimulation, insufficient rest, and debilitation from inadequate nutrition. Pleneurethics then is a study of the ways in which the collective neural system of civilization may be harmed so as to produce mental and physical illness. Pleneurethics is also concerned with restoration of neural systems to normal so as to cure the cause of mental and physical distress which is created or complicated by neurological difficulty. New Standard Pleneurethics has given the world a new standard of reality which will guide each person to a better way of life. This standard is Pleneurethics. It is capable of being applied even-handedly throughout the world. It is relevant either in cold reality of pure science or in warmest humanitarian regard for human frailty. It is as applicable in the East as in the West, and the North as in the South. It is as at home back at the ranch as in the drawing rooms of the most-polished society.
The elegant deans of drug medicine, psychiatric counseling,
and hellfire theology were never seriously challenged before the advent
of Pleneurethics. But, when the salvoes of Pleneurethics cannon The hallmark of Pleneurethics is reliability, dependability, and predictability. Nothing is done in Pleneurethics simply because it is expedient or financially profitable or colorful. Faith in mystery and sophomorish glamour of commercial science are rejected in favor of pure science and truly corrective technique derived from it. In a word, there is no hypocrisy in Pleneurethics. As the world swirls toward its destiny, Pleneurethics will ease the way.
