                          %INTEGRATIVE TRUTH VALUES 870227

     Not  all  truths have equal value in  promoting  both
personal and communal integrity.

     Some   objective  truths  are  not  integrated   into
personal  living.   Many objective truths originate in the
separation   of  persons  from  objects  in  order  to  be
objective.  Such objective truths often are not personally
embodied  in  fully  integrated persons,   but  reside  as
objective   messages  in  abstract  languages  which   are
meaningful only to objectified persons.

     The  integrative  value  of a truth  resides  in  the
apprehension  of  the truth in the personal decisions  and
actions of persons.  Such apprehension of the truth in the
personal decisions and actions  of persons depends as much
upon the  state  of consciousness  and being of the person
apprehending  and/or acting  upon  the  truth, as upon the
ensymbolment   of  the  truth  in  some  language.     The
integrative  value  of  a truth grows  and  resides  in  a
relationship  between  the  truth   as represented    in a
communication,  and the state  of consciousness of the one
receiving  the  communication.    Thus  truths  of   great
integrative  value  are not  objective realities  residing
outside  of persons.   Integrative truths  are  relational
realities helping to integrate persons and communities.
