%TRUST RESPECT AND INTEGRITY 820320
It is dangerous to respect or trust people who lack
integrity; i.e., wholeness. You cannot be sure which
aspect of a split personality will dominate in any given
situation, and often an inappropriate aspect dominates in
a violent way which tends to undermine the integrity of
whatever may be in the way.
The people of Germany respected and trusted Hitler in
democratic elections, and Hitler led them in violent ways
which did not respect the integrity of creative Jews,
including the physicists who were engaged in the discovery
of ways of regarding and manipulating objects in order to
violently release great amounts of energy. Hitler's lack
of integrity aggravated the physicists' tendency towards
depersonalization, and motivated them to react towards
Hitler and his followers in ways which lacked personal
integrity.
The leaders of the American people respected and
trusted the very bright physicists who offered a Faustian
bargain by which to acquire the personally destructive
power of the atom bomb to use against the Nazi homeland of
the physicists. In turn thousands of bright young
scientists trusted their teachers and the national leaders
who offered them the chance to work in great secrecy away
from their families on what was regarded as a task of
great importance, even if doing so violated their own
personal/family integrity.
The American scientists did not trust the integrity
of the scientists who remained in Germany. Thus, out
of fear of other scientists, the American scientists
pushed ahead to create the first atomic bomb. having
lost their own integrity, they became so preoccupied
with their obsession that they kept right on working
when the Nazi army was defeated, and their invention was
used to violate the integrity of thousands of Japanese
who started a war in an effort to defend the honor and
integrity of their nation which Americans had not
respected or treated with personal integrity in the
years before the war. We are now continuing the arms
race which was started in this way.
It is dangerous to trust and respect people who lack
integrity.
