 %WONDER MIRACLE FANTASY ESCAPE ADDICTIVE COLLUSION 880328

     To the participants  in  a  collusion any escape from
their   addictive   games   of  mutual self  deception  is
unthinkable.  They are not free to wonder if life could be
fundamentally  different.   They cannot   engage  in  free
fantasy  by  which to consider  different   possibilities.
They  cannot   imagine  such  wonderful  things   as   are
possible,   because they are not  free  to  wonder   about
that which their games say is impossible.

     When  we  are  not free to wonder freely we  need  to
consider  the  possibility that we may be addicted to some
form  of  a game of mutual self deception.  If life is cut
and dried,  just  the  fulfillment of mutual expectations,
then we may be dead addicts trapped in prisons of our  own
making from  which we shut out the full wonder of      the
universe. Our eyes may be open physically, but we  may not
see. Our ears may be working, but we may not hear. Or,  we
may  see  and hear, but we may not perceive the wonder and
meaning of what we see and hear.
