    %PROOF OF RELATIONSHIP REALITY IMPORTANCE VALUE 890303

     An  adequate  proof is one which convinces  the  most
skeptical  mind  among the important people who have  open
minds.

     If the skeptical mind is dominated by collusive games
of  mutual  self  deception in the manner of  addicts  and
codependents;   then there may be no adequate proof of the
value  and importance of accurate personal statements  and
helpful affirmations.

     Participants  in  collusions  are  not  convinced  by
adequate  evidence;   for  to be  convinced  would  be  to
repudiate  the  foundations of their ultimately  important
games of mutual self deception.

     In some instances it is not evidence and reason which
are to be questioned,  but the ability of participants  in
collusions   to  be  participants  in  open   and   honest
conversation which might convert them from their dishonest
habits of heart and mind to more integrative habits.

     Each  community needs to be clear about the nature of
adequate  proof and the nature of people who can recognize
an adequate proof when it is presented.  Closed minds need
to  be recognized for what they are,  and steps should  be
taken  to  facilitate  the opening  of  closed  minds  and
hearts.

     Liberal  education is the process of  opening  closed
minds and hearts.  Liberation has to do with becoming free
to  be  participant in intimate relationships of open  and
honest conversation about experiences which are  important
in the lives of those liberated. Collusions, addiction and
codependence  stand  in the way of such  open  and  honest
conversations.
