%FORMS OF EXCOMMUNICATION 770720
There are as many forms of excommunication as there
are of communication. Termination of a form of
communication---or failure to use a channel of
communication---is a form of excommunication. Those
people who thereby are not in any communication of the
given form are out of communication, excommunicated.
Excommunication, like meaningful communication, is
mutual. Without mutuality communication can not be
verified through dialogue. Jack can not excommunicate
Jill without excommunicating himself---blocking
communication.
Murder is the extreme form of excommunication. It
terminates communication between the murderer and the
murdered---along with terminating communication between
the murdered and others. Execution is a special kind of
murder, in which a group of people sanction the
excommunication of a person through murder---thereby
blocking future communications between the murdered person
and others.
Life imprisonment is another extreme form of
excommunication. The imprisoned person and members of
society are blocked from having free communication---
separated, estranged, alienated. Such excommunication is
sin-full; full of sin which is the condition of
alienation.
Life is full of other forms of excommunication of
less extreme forms when various forms of communication are
undeveloped, inhibited, repressed, blocked, neglected,
perverted, confused, etc. Each form may become
inoperative for any of many reasons. There are many forms
of communication: emotional, rational, affective,
intellectual, sexual, mathematical, action, verbal,
posturing, motion, facial, eye, inaction, written, oral,
touch, color, odors, contextual, etc. The regular
avoidance of any form of communication is likely to be a
form of excommunication.
When the formal educational process regularly
promotes the avoidance of any form of communication it is
contributing to the excommunication of the students, and
therefore to the sinfulness of the society---since
excommunication promotes sin. In a technocratic society
emotional excommunication is built into traditional
procedures; emotional communication is underdeveloped,
inhibited, repressed, blocked, neglected, perverted,
confused, etc. Likewise for other non-technical forms of
communication---lest love undermine the technocracy.
