Science makes use of a vocabulary which ensymbols reductionistic assumptions that tend to direct the states of consciousness within which we apprehend the other. It is impossible to use an analytic vocabulary to empower self and other to become aware of human relatedness in its immediate and personal wholeness. In contrast, An integrative-descriptive process requires an appropriate vocabulary, with words corresponding to the primary experiences and concepts which are relevant to the personal domain of concern. The integrative vocabulary must be representative of the integrative frame of mind, rather than of the analytic frame of mind. To attempt a job with an inappropriate set of tools---is to undermine the possibility of success, either consciously or unconsciously. To overcome the fragmentation of self and other within a set of fragmented institutions---is a job which requires integrative tools. A vocabulary of fragmentation, which helped to generate the problematic situation, must be set aside, if the fragmentation is to be transcended. A vocabulary which helps point to integrative primary experiences must be nurtured and be used to facilitate mutual understanding through mutual awareness of integrative experiences. May one expect it to be possible to develop a systematic theory of integrative processes? Theories are intellectual models which seek to represent the interrelationships between elements of reality. Theories are not the elements to which they point, nor are they the relationships between the elements considered. Theories pertain to relationships between fragmented elements. Self may only point to personal relationships in their wholeness. 'I' can not truly model a relationship in its wholeness---except through incarnation in meeting. Thus an integrative-descriptive process of its nature must avoid fragmentive inclinations, including avoiding the instinct to explain an integrity as the consequence of interactive elements which do not include the integrity which is to be explained. The realization of a humane community which has integrity---will be facilitated by the nourishment of an integrative vocabulary which is suited to facilitating dialogue concerning existential experiences to which self and other may meaningfully point. Such a vocabulary will be helpful to selves dedicated to honesty and openness. (c) 1999 by Paul A.
