The form of such commitments are as much informal and non-verbal as not. They are as much sub-conscious as not. They may be in the form of personal bonding to an integrative role model who is seen as an incarnation of self-referential integrative ideals. Integrative commitments are unlikely to be in the form of formal contractual obligations. The "formula" for an effective commitment is not legalistic form. The "formula" is more likely to be a personable incarnation of the self-referential integrative ideals. Ideals which point away from the self to others who may become the objects of alienative judgments are not likely to occasion humane integrative behavior, no matter what the intentions, hopes and expectations of those who make their commitments to such ideals. Such ideals are more likely to take ineffective forms according to some formal and legalistic prescription according to the rules of some collusive game of mutual self-enforcement. Commitments to such ideals lead to coercion and violence which are disintegrative. It is illogical to believe that the process of studying, choosing and making personal commitments to humane self-referential integrative ideals will fulfill exclusively objective and analytic ideals which characterize the training of formal natural scientists. People who are so trained are not really free to communally study, choose and make personal commitments to humane self-referential integrative ideals---at least not with personal and communal integrity within the context of their professional sub-culture. It is bound to be a collusive sub-culture dedicated to disintegrative ideals as regards personal relationships. Being bonded and committed to exclusively objective and analytic ideals excludes the possibility of helpfully serving humane integrative ideals which expose the disintegrative effects of exclusive commitments to objectivity and analysis. Exclusive commitments undermine integration and coherence at the most fundamental levels of human consciousness. People who are bound by exclusive commitments can not be as creative in integrative endeavors as those who are committed to coherent integrative ideals of Love. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
