In our childhood our primary motivations are molded so as to be expressed through the logic of secondary motivations. Often we learn to suppress our awareness of our primary motivations, and to respect and honor secondary motivations in an idolatrous way, as if they were primary, God given. We learn to ignore our God given desires, feelings, instincts, intuitions, emotions, and needs (which are primary) and to treat the calculus of the logic of secondary motivations as the essential technology of salvation. When we were infants we were totally dependent upon those who parented us. We needed their approval, acceptance, love, affection, affirmations, encouragement, etc. Because of their limitations they were unable to give unconditionally, and so they met our needs conditionally. We learned to internalize their conditions as being more important than our identity, needs, perceptions, responses. We learned to absolutize the early conditions placed upon winning fulfillment of our needs. As children those conditions became sources of authority with greater power and less love than our God given desires, feelings, instincts, intuitions, emotions, and needs. We learned the calculus of the logic of authority and institutions, and became successful in terms of the technocratic sophistication of that calculus. When we repress our primary motivations the logic of authority and institutions becomes demonic; dehumanizing subjects into objects that do not have human desires, feelings, instincts, intuitions, emotions and needs. Such objective "persons" are much easier to manage than are real persons. The behavior of objective "persons" is predictable according to the studies of social scientists who make objective observations and analytic models of human behavior. Such successful models are taken to be the proof that the choice of models was correct; ignoring the self-serving character and self-defeating prophecy implicit in the choice. Cognitive analysis often obscures the non-cognitive nature of how we come to be dominated by our sources of authority. Such cognitive analysis is thus often biased in favor of exclusively cognitive analysis. We need to become aware of our genuine primary needs as motivations---in order to be born again.
