said so, Lord! Hallelujah!” (Stage whisper: “Lord, I sure do feel guilty, though.”)
    (Stage whisper in reply: “Yes, your feeler’s stuck, but you keep hanging in there on what I said about whether you’re guilty or not. I’ll begin to unstick it for you as you ‘set your mind on things above.’ I’ll give you more points to play with on your Richter scale. You’re going to grow to where you can tolerate this false guilt number and slough it off with truth.”)

Yukky Flesh (Step 9)
    Obviously, adult Charlie has a problem. He set out as an infant to get all his needs supplied by himself, doing it his way. But the deck was stacked against him as far as getting love was concerned. There was no way he was going to make it. So, while on this self trip, he gets rejected, is trained to believe he’s a loser, and thus learns to reject himself. His feeler gets programmed for non-love, and he develops skills in how to live with rejection.
    This becomes his “turf.” It’s where he functions best. He’ll gravitate to rejection or generate it, because it’s on this turf that he’s best able to function. However, since God created him to need love, he’s miserable! He can’t tolerate love or believe it’s real if he does get it. His Lord-of-the-Ring approach isn’t working for him. He’s a very unhappy person.
Plain Vanilla Flesh
    Consider now the average person (who may be reading this book). We’ll call him Joe. He got a pretty fair share of love as a child. Oh, sure, he may have been rejected off and on by certain people during the course of his life, but all in all, he has experienced a pretty good measure of acceptance. Unbeknownst to him, however, the love he has received has not been received without his having paid for it.
    People don’t usually love you with no strings attached; you must earn their love. A child must perform up to certain standards in order to be “loved.” Since he desperately needed love on a moment-by-moment basis, he was willing to pay whatever performance price was demanded in order to receive it. All things considered, he was pretty fair at playing Lord of the Ring. These techniques are very precious to him. He relies heavily on them to generate and maintain love from others and for self.
USDA Choice Flesh
    Consider next a home where the dad is a moderately successful businessman, works fairly hard, has built his business by increasing its size, is rather perfectionistic in several areas, and has, on many occasions, philosophized on the merits of such a lifestyle to his son Sam. Dad’s system of reward (praise) and punishment has been predicated upon these standards that characterize his life.
    Now dad would probably insist that his acceptance of his young son is not based on whether Sam can emulate his dad’s performance. But the youngster gets a different message. You see, he is living in a hostile world, peopled by peers who demand that he dance to their tune if they are to “pay him off” with acceptance for services rendered. He begins to take for granted the notion that acceptance is available on this planet, but that it comes with a price tag on it. That price tag is performance. And he’s able to pay for it. He has enough talent, intelligence, looks, and whatever else is needed to earn love from people.
    What has he learned? How has he been trained on this planet? Why, he’s a winner! He plays Lord of the Ring very well. Oh, sure, he’s lost a few in his day, but nothing that has been so devastating that he couldn’t cope and ultimately land on his feet. And through it all, he has learned to accept (love) himself. He takes for granted that he can beat Joe. And he can’t identify with Charlie at all. He may even feel compassion for Charlie and wonder why he can’t get his act together.
    Do you see that all these men have cut Christ out of their lives as the source? They’re as lost as a ball in high weeds! It’s just that one’s god-playing trip is
