     Often   there   are  situations  in   which   certain
participants  in  an activity experience  and/or  manifest
indifference  and  boredom.   They do not  experience  the
fulfillment  which  self  and  others  explicitly   and/or
implicitly anticipated to find within the activity.   Upon
examination it may become apparent that the activity is in
reality  an orgy in its essential characteristics,  if not
in   the   traditional  narrow  sense.    Those  who   are
indifferent  and  bored  may  have  become  tired  of  the
arrogance  of the situation which continues without mutual
awareness of that arrogance; or they may, as pupils of the
initiators  of the orgy,  have failed to join  in  as full
participants in the collusions which facilitate the orgy.

     Often  in the face of such indifference  and  boredom
the  technocrats  who are participants in  the  orgy  will
become motivated to  develop more sophisticated techniques
in  keeping with their unexamined assumptions,  to fulfill
the   complex  possibilities  of  the   situation---hoping
thereby  to  transcend the decline  in  motivation of  the
participants.     Certain  efforts  will   not   transcend
uncertainty.    The grounds for the  uncertainty  must  be
examined before the uncertainty  can  lead to insight.  In
such  situations  certainty  will  only   perpetuate   the
collusions which obscure the grounds for uncertainty.

     When   there   is   indifference   and  boredom---the
participants in  those  states of  consciousness  need  to
reach  out  to  others who are not  participants  in those
states of consciousness.   They need to seek opportunities
for  authentic  meeting---so that they may  be  touched by
possibilities which by collusion have been  excluded  from
previous consideration and caring.

     Those who are the victims of indifference and boredom
can not be helped via the  techniques  of full control and
the maintenance of standards. The imposition of additional
expectations,   whether  internalized or  not,   will  not
liberate   the   victims   of  indifference  and  boredom.
Invitations  into  dialogue and dedication to openness are
far  more  likely  to  be helpful to those who  experience
dilemmas of indifference and boredom.
