                                %VALIDATION OF SELF 731216

     Self  seeks affective surprise initiated on the  part
of other,  affective affirmations not requested by self as
to time, place, style; yet clearly affirmations of self by
other  - in the hopes of reciprocal initiatives  by  self.
This is at the level of intuitive arational living.

     At  the  rational level,  self seeks  a  program  for
success  which  has been validated by previous  successes,
and systematized according to understandings of cause  and
effect. Actions which are known to have lead to failure in
the past are thus to be avoided, in favor of actions which
have lead to no failure in the past;  success having  been
defined  as the absence of failure.   Success  is  further
defined as the grounds for affective affirmation, in order
to motivate others to seek a program for success according
to the rational understanding of cause and effect.

     Real  persons  subjected  to such a program  for  the
creation of successful behavior are fragmented,  according
to  how susceptible they are in their developmental stage,
how  sustained  the  subjugation is,  and  how  great  the
contrast  between  the demands of reason and the calls  of
arational intuition.

     When   self  experiences  an  absence  of   affective
surprise in the present  affective  life,  through fantasy
and  imagination self seeks  levels of affective  behavior
which  are outside the bounds of the current life---in  an
effort   to  compensate  for  the  absence  of   affective
surprise.    This  seeking on the part of  self  is  self-
defeating  because it  tends  to  increase  the  disparity
between fantasy  and reality,  thus reducing the frequency
and  occasions  of  affective  surprise  through  new  and
unexpected affective affirmations by others.

     Thus,    individuals  who  regard  healthy  affective
affirmations  as perversions (and so the failures,  and so
not-success,  and so the absence of grounds for  affective
affirmation)   tend  to generate conditions in  which  the
absence  of  affective  surprise  drives  others  to  seek
(through fantasy and imagination)  new and different forms
of  affective  affirmation which are in turn  regarded  by
some as more extreme perversions. Thus,  the fragmentation
of  rationality  and  arationality via  a  feed-back  loop
intensifies  itself  upon  the  initiative  of  those  who
presume  to  prevent it through  full  control  techniques
based on the knowledge of good and evil, cause and effect.
