We need to focus our attention with the aid of new vocabularies and phrases which point to new realities and new relationships in terms of which we can make sense of new experiences which have not been the traditional focus of discussion and problem-solving in our past. Often we have not discussed our new experiences because of our participation in taboos and collusive games of mutual self deception which support of our addictions. We need to find the courage, vocabulary, phrases and concepts needed for us to be in open and honest dialogue about our experiences, convictions, hopes, fears, desires, and ways of making sense of what is real to us. We need new intellectual tools in addition to old intellectual tools, and the will to be honest. We need to integrate the use of old and new tools into coherent ways of dealing with challenging new situations. We need to integrate complementary approaches, rather than to engage in battles over which approach to use to the exclusion of other ways of approaching situations. We need integration of the manners of our approach, not merely disdainful tolerance. Integration entails genuine respect for each reality and relationship where such respect will promote both personal and communal integrity. Disdainful tolerance does not promote both personal and communal integrity. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
