                        %DISCOVERING YOUR COLLUSION 860502

     Liberation entails the discovery by  participants  of
their own unknown taboos and collusions.   Such liberation
is  the essence of a liberal  education which entails  the
educement of unknown taboos and collusions.

     Participants  in  a  collusion  unknowingly  agree to
deceive themselves and others, and thus obscure,  confuse,
repress  and  otherwise  make  unknown the  nature  of the
collusions   and   supportive   taboos   in   which   they
participate.   They are  the  victims  of  the  alienation
occasioned  by  the rejections which enforce the rules  of
their collusive games of mutual self deception.
     Those people who refuse to participate in the games o
mutual  self  deception  with enthusiasm are  regarded  as
threats  to the continuity of the participants'  ground of
being, and so must be rejected;  i.e.,  placed outside the
boundaries of communication, of community.  Lack of proper
enthusiasm can be the first  sign of potential treason and
so the grounds for rejection, ex-communication.  Better be
safe than sorry!   It is  not safe  to discuss the grounds
for  rejection because such discussion  might  expose  the
lack of integrity in the unspoken and unknown rules of the
collusive games of mutual self deception.

     Given the nature of the tacit rules of the games it i
virtually  impossible  for participants to  discover  that
they  are  participants in games of mutual self deception.
How  can  they  realize that the games are real?    Can  a
scientific case be made that the games are real?  Is their
reality only in their realization?   Or are there ways  to
say  meaningfully  that  participants  in  the  games  are
victims of their games and need to be liberated from their
mutual self deception?    What is ultimately real when the
reality  is  essentially subjective in nature?    In  what
sense is a collusion  which  is unknown to participants in
the  collusion  (by  virtue  of their participation in the
collusion) a reality?

     Traditional scientific methodology can not verify the
reality  of  a subjective  reality  which  does  not  meet
scientists'   standards for reality because of scientists'
rules of evidence which reject subjective perceptions  and
intimate personal communications.  Scientists are not free
to treat seriously any subjective perceptions and intimate
personal  communications  which transcend their rituals of
objective manipulation.
