 %COLLECTIVE SELF CONSCIOUS REFLECTION HONESTY LOVE 881122

     Just as individuals people differ in their levels  of
self  awareness,   so also various communities  differ  in
their levels of collective self awareness.

     In  the  individual the various aspects of  the  self
communicate with each other in efforts to
 act with the  coherence and integrity which are essential
to individual survival and satisfaction.

     So  also,  in various communities the various members
of  the  community must communicate coherently  with  each
other  for the community as a whole to  behave  coherently
and  with the integrity which is essential to the survival
of the community as a whole with integrity and meaning.

     The   level  of  collective  consciousness   of   the
community as a whole depends upon how free its members are
to be open and honest in intimate relationships which  are
characterized  by  risk  and  trust;   vulnerability   and
security; failures and learning; uncertainty and hope.
