   %EXCLUSIVE PARADIGM RATIONAL CONTROL ADDICT LOVE 890503

     Personal and communal integrity are not served by any
one   paradigm  exercising  exclusive  control  over   the
behavior  of men,  women and children.  Such control lacks
balance.

     People   who  are  insecure  often  seek  to  achieve
security  through a total commitment to one paradigm which
is  regarded  as  superior to all  others,   granting  one
paradigm  unchecked  power  over  thought,   feelings  and
behavior. Such unchecked power is corrupting power.

     Granting  exclusive power to control to one  paradigm
leads to it excluding from consideration any complementary
challenges to its fundamental assumptions which are  taken
so  much  for  granted as to be  beyond  challenge.   Such
exclusivity leads to personal and communal disintegration.

     If  there  is a profound commitment to work  to  give
people  the gift of security which elicits open and honest
communication   in  intimate  relationships  which  entail
vulnerability,   risk,   trust and meaning;  then  no  one
paradigm will exercise exclusive control, as all paradigms
will be free to compete in the market-place of uninhibited
open and honest dialogue.
