Cine the central aspects of Con- sciousness il is an acceptance of the priority of institutions, organizations and society plus a belief that the individual must tie his destiny to something larger than himself. He sees his own life in terms of progress through associa- tion vvith an organization in vvhich an established hierarchy and settled procedures are seen as necessary and valuable. A club does not accept any absolute liberty for the individual, rather, it regards all individual lib- erty as subject to overriding club interest. The belief is that the individual should do his best to fit himself into a function that is needed by the organization, subordinating himself to the requirement of his position. Clubs have been convinced that man's needs are best met by trying to DOMINATE experi- ence rather than being subjected to experi- ence. Consciousness ll sees life in terms of a fiercely competitive struggle. Clubs and orga- nizations vvant to terminate this struggle and make life perfectly regimented. Behind the sacrifice, individuality to organi- zation, there is a deep element of fear. The man vvho fails to play the game will be de- stroyed. lt is not possible to fight the system because the system is the source of one's existence. Throughout all of Consciousness ll runs the theme that clubs and organizations function best if they are planned, rationalized and administered. Consciousness ll believes in CONTROL.
