   %SYSTEMIC BLOCKAGE HONESTY INTEGRATION COHERENCE 881003

     Part   of  the  systemic  pattern  of   institutional
behaviors  which maintains the addictive society  are  the
ways in which respected ideals block simple human honesty,
integration  and the search for a coherent  conception  of
what  life is,  what its possible meaning is,  and how  to
live   it  with  personal  and  communal  integrity.   The
possibility that there are systemic blockages to  honesty,
integration  and  coherence is repressed by the  addictive
behaviors of the collusive society.

     The  above possibility should regularly be considered
to  prevent  the  possibility from  being  realized.   The
healthy community should feel no threat from the open  and
honest  consideration of the possibility that there  might
be  in the community traces of addictive,   collusive  and
codependent behavior.  If the suggestion that there may be
such  traces in a community elicits  defensive  maneuvers,
then  thoughtful  people should take seriously the  notion
that blockages are in fact operative in significant ways.

     Technocratic   communities  develop  all   kinds   of
sophisticated  technologies  in defense of  the  dishonest
games  of mutual self deception which are central to their
addictive  organizations  and institutions.   Technocratic
communities  will  be  systematic in  their  blockages  of
insights  into  the  nature of  the  dishonesties  of  the
society. People who seek to promote systemic recovery from
systemic  addiction  and  systemic  codependence  need  to
promote systemic understanding of the dynamics of systemic
addiction.

     It is not enough to label some people evil, and other
people  as good.  Such labeling is itself a characteristic
of  addictive and codependent behavior.  What is needed is
to  understand the dynamics of alienation,   estrangement,
reduction of self-esteem, discouragement, depression, etc.
We   need  to  learn  from  those  who  have  made   major
contributions   to  the  transcendence  of  collusive  and
addictive patterns of behavior.

     Not always, but often,  the creative insights come to
magical   mystical  children  who  have  not  been   fully
introduced to the rules of their society's collusive games
of mutual self deception. Such mystical children find ways
to  crack  the cosmic egg of the collusive community,   in
ways which undermine the pretensions of the  sophisticated
adults.   Such mystical children need encouragement,  they
need  help to have the courage to ask  their  transcendent
questions.  So that they may have the courage, the healthy
community should systemically given them encouragement  to
ask the their embarrassing questions in their simple ways.

                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
