                        %TOGETHERNESS & FELLOWSHIPS 860506

     Togetherness  and  fellowship  are   shams   if   the
participants   are   pretending  to  enjoy  themselves  as
participants in a collusion  of enjoyment pretense. People
being  agreeable   in   convergent  behavior  are covertly
disagreeable  if  their  behavior  lacks  real  integrity.
Frustrations and  anger creep through  the cracks of their
pretentious system  and  lead  to disintegrative behaviors
which  are  not within the range of  conscious control and
understanding.   Efforts  to control  such  disintegrative
behavior while maintaining the pretentious  collusion will
fail.  The key to understanding disintegrative behavior in
such situations is to  discover the disintegrative ideals,
presuppositions, assumptions, beliefs, etc.  which mislead
many sincere people.

     Sincerity  is not the essence of integrity.   Sincere
people are  often  leaders  in  disintegration:    through
ignorance,    misconception,   confusion,   disintegrative
ideals, disintegrative value systems, etc.

     As  ideals,   the  appearances  of  togetherness  and
conformed   fellowship   are   misleading.    Putting   on
appearances   is   disintegrative   unless   it   is   for
entertainment and enlightenment on the stage of a theater.
