              %PERSONAL COMMUNAL INTEGRATIVE IDEALS 880812

     Ideally  there  would  be  no  conflict  between  the
integrative  ideals  of  the members  of  a  community  as
individuals, and the generally accepted integrative ideals
of the community as a whole. Usually, however, individuals
and  communities  are  not ideal,   and  there  may  exist
conflicts  regarding  even the best  intended  integrative
ideals, to say nothing of the common conflicts which exist
between    genuinely    integrative   ideals    and    the
disintegrative  ideals which are regarded as  of  ultimate
importance by some.

     Conflicts  among integrative ideals may  pertain  to:
(1)   Differences  in  conceptions of  reality  and  their
possible relationships,  (2) Differences in the meaning of
symbolic  representations  such  as words,   gestures  and
actions,  (3) Different theories of cause and effect,  (4)
Differences in unrecognized collusions and addictions.

     Integrative   efforts  will  seek  to   reveal   such
differences  which underlie conflicts between  integrative
ideals.  Collusions will seek to obscure such  differences
which  underlie conflicts between integrative  ideals---to
make it easier to manipulate people.
