Helpful teachers provide fail safe contexts from
which children and students feel secure to venture forth--
-into new experiences and ways of interpreting new
experiences. Fear and timidity dominate students who have
no safe place. They will not take initiatives, seek to
satisfy curiosity, try out new ideas, challenge collusions
or taboos, take their desires seriously, or in any other
way become liberally educated. They will conform. They
will be manipulated by dominant people, traditions,
taboos, collusions, businessmen, educators, politicians,
religious leaders, policemen, and dictators. All people
are vulnerable to such manipulation when they have no
sanctuary in which Love provides a fail-safe place.
Mothers provide the first fail-safe place in the
womb---provided they are themselves in a fail-safe context
free of drug abuse, anxiety, and violence which can
intrude into the sanctuary of the womb. At birth mothers
provide the second fail-safe place at their breasts---
provided they are not drugged by insecure and anxious
physicians intent upon dominating the birth process and
seeing to it that the baby is bonded to inanimate objects
rather than to the female mother. During infancy mothers
provide safe places for the young in intimate contact with
their loving body---provided insecure others have not
intruded with technocratic and legalistic systems of
insuring that inanimate objects, routines, procedures,
laws, taboos, policies and other non-feminine and non-
personal realities are bonded to the infant rather, than
to the uncontrollable female mother. Such non-personal
and non-feminine bonding makes the subsequent child a
better conformist, more manageable citizen, greater
consumer, more analytic and objective scientist, and less
likely to take initiatives and ask questions which are
likely to undermine respected collusions.
In childhood parents and schools provide fail safe
sanctuaries in which children can grow into creative and
mature adults---unless they have become the agents of non-
personal traditions, collusions, taboos, legalistic
systems, and exclusive perspectives for analysis. To
grow, a person needs a fail safe sanctuary at each
developmental stage of life. The law of Love calls us to
provide such sanctuaries.
