There is a pervasive quiz, lingering in the minds of many people today. It is the quiz, of how we can reduce the ever addition levels of crime and violence that plague our society. Because no one as of yet is focused on the explication as much as they are the problem, the usual reply given by politicians and the media is that we have to be even tougher on crime. It is an reply that comes from a deeply held trust that fighting against crime even harder will ultimately straighten this country out. This is an illusion. You can not ever get what you want by pushing against what you do not want. We can argue as people all we want about the corporeal reality we live in but the truth remains the same that what you see as physical, tangible manifestation is the direct consequent of energetic movement. And this energetic movement is controlled by thought. That means that if you are focused on crime, you will manifest crime. When a society such as ours does not understand this, we try to control others which we see as being "external". We believe that it is not in our power what someone else man does or doesn't do to us. We believe in victim-hood and so, we try to control others by creating laws. And we impose those laws with harsh punishment for all those who disobey them. Laws are merely the illusion of control. They do not work, and they run counter to the universal truth of greatest freedom. They will and do fail. Punishment is fighting fire with fire. It is hoping that we can teach corporeal and reasoning health to a man by demonstrating the opposite to them. Punishing man into wellness is a contradiction in terms and you can see it in the fact that the crime rate raises with the more jails we create. It is imperative that we facilitate a safe environment for all inmates and search for ways to better put in order them for their publish back into society. The de-humanizing environment of jails and prisons does not help, it compounds these challenges. Jails are not places of rehabilitation, they are terrifying, inhumane and miserable places that will luckily be seem as shameful to us in the future. They will in fact be seen in the same light as the infamous nineteenth-century "snake-pit" insane asylums are seen by us today. We are paying dearly for these institutions which do not work. And they will fall of their own economic weight. In mates are traumatized, even more so due to the fact that non violent prisoners are put in the same holding facilities as violent prisoners where nonviolent offenders often do in fact learn a lesson... The lesson of how to be violent. And so, our justice theory is not reforming criminals, it is creating them.
There is a mass societal failure at this point in time, to see the truth of what creates a perpetrator. We hold victims in a piteous light and perpetrators in a condemned one, which is as inaccurate as it can get. On an energetic level, both the perpetrator and the victim have the same vibration of powerlessness. It is hard for people to grasp the idea that anger and revenge is honestly a much healthier state for a man to be in than powerlessness and grief. The divergence between a victim and a perpetrator is that the perpetrator has tried to move closer to wellness by physically acting out in an endeavor to no longer feel powerless by committing a crime. In effect, they project their feelings of powerless out onto their victim and in doing so, feel more empowered. It is a reaction rising from fear. They do not comprehend that any operation taken from a place of fear (without advent mentally into a space of freedom) will only yield corporeal results coherent with powerlessness, such as prison. The victim however, has stayed in the state of fear and powerlessness. But still, the victim and perpetrator share the exact same energetic vibration.

Another part of the jail theory that is not working is that people are being put in jail for drug possession. More often than not, the drug dealers aren't the ones taking up room in prisons; they are too wealthy and smart to get caught. Instead, they hire addicts, to take the risks that consequent in confinement. And it is not the drug dealers, who generate the drug qoute anyway. Among the poor, drugs are a qoute resulting from alienation and isolation, of feeling unknown, unimportant, powerless, and hopeless. Among the affluent, they are an endeavor to keep up with or fly from a lifestyle that has nothing to do with straightforward human joy, friendship or connection. The qoute that needs to be addressed is not the drugs themselves it is the negative idea patterns that lead people to use them in the first place. These issues are ones that need to be addressed within ourselves, our families, and our communities. Not in jail. If we spent a fraction of the money that we would save by removing drug addicts from prison and put that money instead into recovery centers and society revitalization programs, we'd begin to put drug dealers out of enterprise in the only way that will last, by drying up their "market".
There are arguments over the board about either criminal behavior might be hereditary (genetic) or learned. To those of us who understand the corporeal and non corporeal interplay of reality, it is very clear that your genetics are not the dictators of your life; they are the corporeal expression of a blueprint of thought. If thoughts change, the Dna it's self changes. In other words it is activated and de-activated. It expresses it's self and remains dormant based on thoughts. So, even if we find a genetic similarity between criminals, the truth remains the same... Crime is the consequent of learned behavior and learned idea patterns. idea patterns can be "picked" up before a child is even born. But more often than not, the criminal behavior we are seeing is the consequent of negative childhood experience. Over the years, we have, as a society increasingly legitimized cruelty and callousness in response to the cruelty and callousness of criminals. In a number of prisons over the country we have reduced or eliminated the occasion for inmates to earn college degrees, restricted house visits, and restricted passage to books and magazines. And now there is even a growing communal sentiment to take off televisions and rehearsal facilities from prisons. When we do not understand that punishment is not the way to rehabilitate someone, we want to make sure inmates are miserable every second of the day. We no longer want them to get healthy. In our ignorance and fear, we just want them to suffer. It is this same vengeful attitude that leads our children toward violence. The peak age for violent crime in America is now eighteen, and it's edging downward every year. Our children grow up with the impression that it's all right to be violent toward other people. They are not learning compassion or reconciliation, because we are not teaching it to them. It is time to do so.
Our ideas of recovery normally revolve around education, job skills, and counseling. But this coming guarantees that many prisoners leave prison only to become merely better educated and better skilled criminals. Until they feel their association and value to others, learn how to shift their realities with obvious thought, and are taught exactly how to live within society, no true transformation will take place. We hold the false trust that if we empower and treat a man who has committed a crime positively, that it is the same thing as condoning what they did. It is also believed that they will be more likely to go do it again. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The Only real way to rehabilitate negative behavior is by demonstrating obvious behavior. Our justice systems will begin to work, (and may even go out of business) if those who commit crimes endure cognitive behavioral therapy. We must make our jails into institutions of service instead of punishment and make it the goal of jails to show those who have committed crimes, not only that they are loved but also to guide them towards a productive, healthy, empowered future. They need to receive the message that they are believed in and needed and valuable. If we empower them, they will no longer feel powerless to their impulses. They will have control over these impulses which they often feel they have no control of, which is in fact what leads to crime in the first place. people who are happy do not commit crime. people who feel their own worth and value do not commit crime. people who feel free and empowered do not commit crime. Our deepest nature is good. It is this innate goodness which is unlearned. No child ever raises their hand in kindergarten and says "I want to be a criminal when I grow up". We can not forget the possible that is possible within every personel (a possible which never goes away) and hope to make any obvious convert in an personel at all. For decades our justice theory has been run according to the tenets of retributive justice, a model based on exile and hatred. The time has come to focus our efforts instead on transformational justice. A type of justice that focuses on bringing a criminal back into society healthier, not end him or her out of it. Prisons can be turned into environments that maximize opportunities for the inmates to become healthy and caring human beings. In the hereafter of humanity, there will be no need for laws, for police and justice systems. But at this point in time, when these laws and institutions still exist (and still make people who believe it is possible to be a victim feel safe)... Instead of doing away with them, it is time to convert them.
