In an integrative community there is an integrity of appearances and realities; members are not imprisoned in games of mutual self deception, they pray together in cooperative efforts to point to the reflexive truths which they have perceived. They do not seek to control the truths which they wish each other to perceive; or fear that others may perceive. They call attention to real truths, rather than attempt to manipulate artificial truths. In an integrative community members share their real experiences, rather than attempt to fabricate artificial experiences which conform to some conception of properly expected experiences. Members of an integrative community do not find themselves coerced by manipulative expectations which make it impossible to share honestly their real personal experiences. In an integrative community the members of the community recognize the elements of evil in the coercive aspects of: expectations, rejections, alienation, estrangements, dishonesty, pretense, secrecy, threats, punishments, rewards, legalisms, deceptions, collusions, addictions, codependencies, analytic fragmentations, objective depersonalizations, and computational violence. Integrative members of the community cooperate in coping with the non-technical predicaments which the processes of the elements of evil tragically present. They are personally present to each other in their cooperative efforts. They do not present to each other individual manipulative efforts which are personally misleading or coercive.
