                        %OBSTRUCTION OF INTEGRATION 870713

     Integrity  is undermined by people who in the service
of   disintegrative  ideals  prevent  the  integration  of
important   personal   experiences   into   the   communal
experiences.

     Not  all  ideals promote integrity  and  integration.
Many respected ideals lead their incarnations to undermine
personal  and communal integrity.   The failure to promote
integrity  may  not  lie with those  who  are  seeking  to
promote  integrity.   The failure to promote integrity may
often be attributed to idealists who are in the service of
disintegrative (but respectable) ideals.

     The  conflict  between  good and evil  is  usually  a
conflict  between  highly respectable ideals;   with  some
highly   respectable  ideals  obstructing  integration  of
important   personal   experiences   into   the   communal
experience.    Personal  experiences may be taboo  due  to
control by communal collusions,  and so the integration of
personal  experiences  into the communal consciousness  is
obstructed.

     It  is not particular personal experiences which  are
evil:    it  is the failure of the community to learn from
particular personal  experiences which  is  evil---in  the
sense of disintegrative through alienation.

     The  members  of and the community as a  whole  often
fail to learn from  personal experiences because they have
placed the service of disintegrative ideals above open and
honest  dialogue,   and  are willing to sacrifice open and
honest dialogue in the service of conformal ideals, and do
so in the rejection of non-conformists.
