                         %HUMAN CONFLICT RESOLUTION 800226

     Human  conflict pertains to wills at cross  purposes,
and  so  is not fundamentally an  objective  reality---but
rather  a personal reality.   Human conflict  pertains  to
intentions,  desires, goals, objectives, expectations, and
other future-oriented realities---rather than to automatic
patterns  of process described by objective laws.    Often
conflict  appears  to  be grounded in the  past,   in  the
memories  of the participants.   Yet,  as indicated  above
there  is a profound sense in which conflict is rooted  in
future-oriented aspects of persons.   Traditional ways  of
analyzing  cause-effect  relationships  do  not  admit  to
future  events being causative factors;  so to that extent
they  are not likely to offer ways of understanding  human
conflict.

     Conflicts  reside  in the relationships  between  the
seats  of wills---persons and portions of persons;   e.g.,
sub-brains  and  nervous systems which are  programmed  to
serve a purpose.   The various portions of the human brain
characteristic to the reptilian,  mammalian,   and sapiens
stages of evolution may constitute sub-brains which may be
in  conflict  with each other on occasions.    Within  the
cortex  there  may  be a split in which  portions  of  the
cortex are  differently specialized or programmed---and so
as to be in conflict.

     Human  sub-cultures interject imperatives into  human
beings  which are often in conflict,  causing a person  to
seek to serve two masters with but one body.   When  human
values  imply  contradictory behavior patterns  the  human
values  occasion  human  conflict.   The  conflict  occurs
between  complementary good values which are  regarded  as
exclusively good---to the exclusion of each other's claim.
Each conflicting value  projects a different image of  the
future, and how it should be.

     Human  conflict  resolution becomes possible only  as
conflicts   between  values  are  resolved  in  terms   of
transcendent  values  which  are held  in  common.    Thus
conflict resolution must focus upon the discovery/creation
of transcendent values  held in common.   When people hold
transcendent values in common  they can  resolve conflicts
originating   in  secondary  values  by  grounding   their
dialogue on the foundation of the  agreed-to  transcendent
values.   Thus people need to be in dialogue about what is
most important.
