     The  animosity of estrangement serves as a  feed-back
loop   mechanism  which  intensifies  the  factors   which
initiated the original alienation.  There are many factors
which  tend  to  produce human separation and thus produce
the    reduction   of   mutual   awareness   and    mutual
understanding.  Those who presume to have the knowledge of
good and evil---regard many of these alienative factors as
good.  In such a state of consciousness the value judgment
is made that it  is better to maintain standards---than to
maintain   communication.     The  maintenance of  taboos,
propriety,   morality,   standards  of  excellence,   good
appearances,  righteousness,  self-respect,  etc.---rather
than   the   maintenance  of communication is  the  common
pattern. The price paid for such  traditional  maintenance
is  alienation and estrangement. People may not fail-safe.
They are expected to  make themselves acceptable---and  so
they  learn  to  expect  themselves  to  make  them-selves
acceptable; to the point they are no longer free to accept
acceptance without preconditions.    They  become  divided
selves who are estranged from self and others.  It becomes
taboo  to point to experienced realities.  Rationality  is
not  a way out.  Toward the end the strange  languages  of
insanity may be used in  dealing with finitude.  An honest
mutual understanding of the nature of reality  becomes all
but  impossible.   Only  through a miracle does a way  out
come to be.

     Estrangement  may be avoided and reversed if there be
an honest focus on real persons---rather than on the  hope
which  some  have  in certain techniques  which  they have
devised to achieve salvation. The way to avoid and/or find
the  way  out  of  estrangement is through  a  miracle  as
perceived from the estranged state of consciousness.   The
way  transcends the estranged state of  consciousness  and
can not be devised as a technique.

     Those who have become estranged through  failure  may
seek  to develop techniques to prevent or deny the reality
of failure.   This will often necessitate the  removal  of
the foci of failures which were not prevented. Through the
denial  of  such  persons---estrangement  is  intensified.
Through  full  control---the feed-back loop  operates  via
cause and effect---to produce natural  consequences  other
than  those  planned.  Estranged attempts at full  control
generate more alienation and estrangement.
