                                         %COLLUSION 730911

     A group of persons may radically change their  nature
of  reality by joining together mutually in playing a game
of mutual self-deception.  Such a game of perverted mutual
awareness  and  mutual understanding is a  collusion,   an
essential  feature of which is to be unaware of  it.   The
game  is ineffective---if the participants are aware of it
as a game.   If the emotional security of the participants
depends upon the success of the game,  in self defense the
participants enter into an implicit pact to  prevent  each
other from becoming aware of the game.  Should a member of
the group become aware of the game and try to make  others
aware of the game,  the team playing the game must in self
defense ostracize that member---and regard that member  as
having  lost contact with reality.  Similarly,   outsiders
must be kept out if they  do  not accept the rules of  the
game.

     So long as participants in a collusion avoid dialogue
with   non-participants---the  participants  have  a  fair
chance of maintaining their collusion, even in the face of
strong  contrary evidence which they are not free  to  see
because of their game.   Persons who share a common  state
of consciousness may join  together  mutually in playing a
game which  defines  differing  states of consciousness as
immature,  perverted,  evil, dangerous, irrelevant,  or in
some  other terms  which  will  prevent  dialogue  and  so
prevent  mutual  awareness  and  mutual understanding with
others who live in different states of consciousness.

     Collusions originate in collective efforts to develop
techniques for dealing with perverted human situations. So
long as the participants continue to feel the  need to use
these techniques---so long will the collusion persist.  To
help  participants escape from  the enslavement  of  their
collusion---it is necessary  to develop with them a mutual
awareness  of and  a mutual understanding of the perverted
human situations to which they responded.  This may not be
possible  within  the perverted human situation.   At  the
least, some radically new elements must enter,  a  miracle
for those enslaved. The new elements  may  be perceived as
threatening salvation.

     Many natural  scientists  share  a  common  state  of
consciousness  regarding  the  nature  of reality.  To the
extent to which they are participants in a  collusion  the
participants  can  not  save  themselves.   Help  must  be
accepted from outside the collusion.
