%COLLUSION TRANSCENDING AFFIRMATIONS 851012
By and large collusions maintain themselves by making
apparently respectable affirmations. Attempts to
transcend collusions by denials of their apparently
respectable affirmations will tend to heighten defensive
postures and movement to extremes in making collusive
affirmations by which the collusions maintain their games
of mutual self deception. The deceptions are achieved by
the implicit messages in the affirmations. Denials of the
collusive affirmations are unlikely to be successful in
focusing upon the implicit messages which entail the
deceptions without foolishly including a denial of those
aspects of the affirmations which have some merit.
The way to lay the foundations for the transcendence
of collusive affirmations involves not denials, but
genuinely more honest and open affirmations which will be
recognized as more coherent and integrative in nature.
The collusion can be transcended best by agreeing upon
transcendent ideals in terms of which the collusion's
affirmations merit respect, but in terms of which
ultimately the deceptions of the collusion will be
recognized as not meriting respect. The threat of
judgment must not be immediate and direct without first
laying the foundations for acceptance in terms of more
transcendent ideals.
Collusions are disintegrative because they make
affirmations in terms of which people are judged to be
unacceptable and worthy of excommunication. Participants
in collusions regard ideals as bases for excommunication,
rather than as guides to integrative behavior which always
strives for reconciliation and so personal and communal
integrity. Insecure participants in collusions need a
vision of the possibility of unconditional acceptance as
human being before being threatened with the judgment
which Love passes upon the disintegrative implications of
the game of mutual self deception which is central to
their collusion.
Participants in a collusion can escape from their
collusion only by becoming participants in a revolution of
ideals, moving from judgmental disintegrative ideals to
reconciling integrative ideals as the way to move from
despair to hope, from disintegration to community.
