                                         %OWNERSHIP 751026

     The  owner of a property is regarded as  superior  to 
the property, and as having proper control over the use of 
the property,  by holding legitimate title or claim to the 
property.     It is common to regard the owner  as  having 
exclusive  possession,    monoply and rights  to enjoy and 
dispose of a property according to their desires;  holding 
and  using,   or  releasing,  the  property  according  to 
objective  and/or  subjective  purposes.    There  are  no 
significant subjective relationships between the owner and 
the owned; the owned passively yielding to the will of the 
owner.    The  relationship  of  possession  excludes  the 
possibility of any real/true subjective relationship.  The 
benefits  of the relationship are presumed to flow  to the 
one  in  command;  without  external   constraints   being 
operative or appropriate.  
     
     Real and true intimate  personal relationships do not 
fulfill this simple image of reality.  It is in the nature 
of reality that the  owner is not clearly superior  to the 
property,   with full freedom of control.   The owner  may 
have needs which cannot be fulfilled through ownership and 
control.    The owner may have  subjective  relationships, 
even  though  only  imperfect ones,  with  the  owned  --- 
thereby undermining the fulfillment which might be enjoyed 
through a purely objective owner->owned relationship.  The 
owned may be in a reciprocal relationship with the  owner, 
each  viewing the other as the owned ---  and the self  as 
the   owner   <--->   with  the   associated   conflicting 
expectations.  
     
     Each  may refuse to yield to any objective use by the 
other,   refusing to be held or controlled.  Each may have 
desires which can be fulfilled only through vulnerability,  
surrender   and/or   letting-go;   rather   than   through 
superiority  and dominance.   The objective  relationships 
involved  in ownership may block the fulfillment  of  hope 
and  meaning which may be found only in the eternal now of 
authentic meetings within which there is no ownership.  
     
     Relationships characterized by ownership promote envy 
and  jealousy  in which self concentrates  selfishly  upon 
what  other  and  self  own.   The  frustrations  of  non-
fulfillment  in ownership-relations generate  covetousness 
and  greed,   in futile attempts  to  achieve  fulfillment 
through  more of the same,  rather than through  different 
kinds  of relationships.   This leads to  growth  patterns 
which will eventually bring eternal ecological constraints 
to bear upon the objective-ownership-relationships.    The 
owners  will  find that they are not in  full  control  of 
their  environment  because  of  unchangeable   objective-
relationships   which   are  described   quite   reliably, 
accurately  and  quantitatively  by  scientists  using the 
languages  of measurements and mathematics.    No one  can 
own their total environment.   Externalities  will allways 
exist  and constrain would-be-owners of more than they can 
own and/or control.
