                           %INTEGRATIVE CONCEPTIONS 870624

     We   discover   and  create  our  integrity  in   our
cooperative  mutual  efforts to realize the nature of  our
communal  integrity.    Although  we are many,  we realize
together  our  fulfillment only in our communal  integrity
through  our prayers  for integrity.   Therein  we  become
truly aware of each other in the  presence of each other's
integrity  and  together  we truly know all  our  intimate
inter-relationships.

     The universe which we know, is presented to us in the
relationships which we realize  through our participation.
It is  not  real apart from our participation.  It becomes
real  through our participation  and  integrative efforts.
We   are   what  we  realize   through   our   cooperative
relationships in mutual self revelation.

     We can not truly realize that which we can not reveal
to ourselves  and to each other.   That which must be kept
to  our  self  can not be fully  realized  as  a  communal
reality.  Thus we discover and create our integrity in our
cooperative mutual  efforts to truly realize the nature of
our communal integrity.

     God  is  the power of love who creates  the  universe
with  integrity.   We discover and create our integrity in
God's works of love.   We know God in our participation in
God's works of love.   Only through such participation can
we realize God's full nature.

     We  know  each other through our conceptions of  each
other.   We realize who we are through our shared concepts
and  through their conception of us.   We create them  and
they create us in our integrative efforts.  We are not and
can  not  be fulfilled independently of each  other.    We
evolve  as  our  concepts  and  their  inter-relationships
evolve  through  our  inter-relationships  in  integrative
cooperation.    True  knowledge  resides  in  and  endures
through communal relationships, not in independent objects
which are  detached from each other.   We are liberated as
such knowledge honestly informs our relationships.

     We  come to know each other in spirit and  in  truth.
We do not know each other in manipulative relationships in
which  we  seek control.   We can not realize  that  about
which we can  not be open and honest.  We can  not realize
our  universe  with integrity except through the works  of
love.

                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
