   %LIVE BEING WITHIN SCIENTIFIC PARADIGM COLLUSION 890126

     To live constantly with one's  whole being within any
particular  human  paradigm is to be a  participant  in  a
collusion.   If  one can not transcend  the  paradigm  and
openly  and honestly discuss the elements of the paradigm,
one is imprisoned in its realities, beliefs,  assumptions,
convictions, and habits of heart and mind.

     To  temporarily  live  outside  a  paradigm does  not
necessarily  entail  a repudiation of the  paradigm  as  a
whole.   Not  all healthy living is appropriate  within  a
particular  paradigm.   Some  integrative  living  is  not
appropriate   within  certain  paradigms,   but   yet   is
appropriate integrative living.  Paradigms which constrain
integrative living are disintegrative paradigms,  and need
to be transcended.

     Living  outside such paradigms in  transcendent  ways
need  not repudiate the paradigm as a whole;  even  though
such  transcendent  living  will  of  necessity  repudiate
exclusive  pretensions  of collusive participants  in  the
paradigms.   To participants in exclusive  paradigms  such
pretensions   appear  to  be  unquestionable  truths   and
realities. To be effective science teachers professors and
students need to transcend the pretensions of  scientists'
paradigms.  The pretensions of scientists'  paradigms tend
to   constrain   integrative  living  and  undermine   the
educement  which  is the essence of education.   Collusive
pretensions  inhibit  open and honest  dialogue  regarding
disintegrative values and ideals. Technocratic pretensions
of  scientists inhibit open and honest education.   To  be
helpful,  science educators and professors must learn  how
to live integratively outside the pretentious paradigms of
the  scientific community.  Such transcendent living  need
not  repudiate the whole of scientists'  paradigms;   even
though  such  living  will  of  necessity  challenge   the
exclusive pretensions of scientists' collusive paradigms.
