The spirit in which an action is fulfilled occasions
the human effect of the action. People on the cliff-of-
objectivity all share a common spirit; even though some
are excommunicated for attempting to copy the behavior of
those on the cliff-of-subjectivity. People on the cliff-
of-subjectivity all share a common spirit; even though
some of them are excommunicated for attempting to copy the
behavior of those on the cliff-of-objectivity. The
loving/suffering servants on the valley floor act in yet a
third spirit---even when they are directly under (and
therefore apparently behaving like) the cliff-people
directly above them. The cliff-people can barely
distinguish the behavior of the valley-people on a cliff,
from that of the excommunicants sharing the same
neighborhood of the cliff --- much less distinguish the
behavior of a valley-person on the cliff from that of the
same person when directly below on the valley floor under
the overhanging cliff. The cliff people are barely aware
of the existence of the valley floor, and often perceive
the valley people who are under a cliff over-hang --- as
if they were directly above on the cliff's surface. Thus
behavior in the region of cliff over-hang may be
characterized by four different spirits: (1) That of an
exclusively oriented cliff-person, (2) That of an
excommunicated cliff-person who is trying to become free
of the home collusion by copying behavior seen on the
opposite cliff, (3) That of a valley-person visiting the
cliff, (4) That of a valley person on the valley floor
under the cliff, but perceived as if on the cliff's edge.
Cliff-people who stay away from the edge of their
cliff are extremely exclusive in their orientation --- and
cannot know much of the cultures on the opposite cliff or
imagine the possibility of the valley culture.
Excommunicants and valley-people find it virtually
impossible to communicate with such exclusive persons
because of their exclusivity. The behavior of such
exclusive persons is characterized by a spirit not found
in excommunicants or valley people --- it is behavior
unique to exclusive persons.
Valley-people on the valley floor away from the
overhanging cliffs behave uniquely in open ways, but
cannot be seen by cliff-people because of cliff-people's
collusions.
