Rehabiting Tape 145

(Yesterday you talked about the phrase to rehabit. Could you talk about that)
Rehabit, so that's what we've been talking about. That we have a habit of looking at everything through a screen of 'what ought to be', 'what everything's needing'.
Now if your working with a person who is doing that, which happens to be 100 percent of the people, you put it in the terms that the person could understand. It's slow in degree and as simple a picture as you can get it down to until a person looks at things in a different way.
Nobody will change as long as they look at things the same way. So what your really working at is the person-not necessarily the technical frame of reference, but in their living frame of reference is for them to see differently. You don't do this in one fell swoop or one big blast, you do it by degrees according to the persons attention span and at best it's only about 30 minutes. And the person might see that they don't know what ought to be. They don't know what they need. Now all the old ideas are there and they are to be looked by degrees-slowly-and the better pictures and examples and for instances you can have, the better. And slowly the person develops a new frame of reference which means it's a new habit. Now to rehabilitate anyone means to go from the habits you did that was not satisfactory to the person and possibly everyone around them. So it's a new habit of looking at things.
Now if you have a habit of looking at yourself as a miserable bum, and the last few hours you've been looking at yourself as a pretty wonderful person, huh? Now that's rehabilitation, is it not. Pretty soon you won't have to think about having to do it, that's rehabiting. You're reminded quite frequently that you're about about to fall into the old one that you're a 'bum'. But you wake up and look at it in a different way, with a different set of words.
Now you can rehabit the way you see everybody else, ok? And the way you see housework, and the way you see teaching, and the way you see the students you work with. Every bit of it is rehabilitation. And all rehabilitation means that I see differently.
Now as long as I see the same old way, and seeing is not as accurate as people think. We see through the screens we have in front of us, quite often. So we think we're seeing it like it is, but there is many more ways to see it. Until a person has established another way of seeing, there is no rehabilitation, ok?
The man who commits a crime sees society as his enemy. He sees it as justified to take other people's property or injure their persons. As long as he sees them as a threat, it's pretty easy to justify it, isn't it?
Now if he should no longer see those people as a threat, or that people were a threat in general, he wouldn't see that crime is justifiable. So the only way he's going to be rehabilitated is if he sees differently. And the only way that's going to change is that they look at the fundamentals through which they look at things a little bit.
