%ASPECTS DISHONESTY ROOTED SEXUAL DENIALS COLLUSION 890922

     Many aspects of human dishonesty are rooted in a  few
fundamental  denials related to human sexuality.  A   felt
need  to maintain collusions in support of  those  denials
leads  to many aspects of human dishonesty.  To  transcend
such  sexual collusions we may have to learn to be  honest
regarding patterns of denial about the felt needs to  deny
the implications of human sexuality.

     Sexuality  is related to human reproduction and  thus
to  the  fact that human beings are born;  i.e.,   have  a
beginning.  Creatures that have been born have not existed
forever,   are not eternal.  Creatures that have been born
thus do not live forever; i.e., they eventually die.  Many
aspects  of human dishonesty are rooted in a felt need  to
deny  our  mortality.  If we cannot be  honest  about  our
mortality   it  is  impossible  to  be  honest  about  our
sexuality  which points to our mortality,  our limits  and
limitations.

     Human  sexuality is a fundamentally reflexive  aspect
of  human relationships.  In sexual relationships we  find
our  relationships pointing back to ourselves in essential
ways; to our bodies, minds, wills, souls, spirits.  Sexual
relationships  point to the impossibility of always  being
objective  because  we cannot ever be objective about  our
sexual  relationships,  which are essentially reflexive in
nature.   To  the extent that we are committed  to  always
being  objective to fulfill our scientists'  paradigm,  we
cannot  be  honest about our human sexuality.  We need  to
develop  the ability to be honest about the  impossibility
of  being objective with regard to all human  experiences.
Without  that ability we cannot be honest about any  human
experiences  which  point towards  human  sexuality  which
undermines our pretense of total objectivity.

     Sexual  relationships involve many emotions which  we
cannot  control in efforts to conform the emotions to  our
chosen expectations/conceptions of what is good,  and what
should  be  avoided  as being  evil.   Our  sexual  nature
undermines  our  pretense  of being able to always  be  in
control  of  our destiny.  We cannot be honest  about  our
sexual  relationships and experiences so long as we try to
pretend that we can always be in control of our destiny.

     Many  aspects  of human dishonesty are rooted in  our
compulsive efforts to deny our mortality,  births, deaths,
conceptions,   reproduction;  our non-objective  reflexive
relationships, our lack of control over our destiny.  Many
of  our collusions are rooted in efforts related to  those
fundamental denials.

     We cannot enjoy personal/communal integrity until  we
learn how to cope with our fundamental denials related  to
our sexuality. Sexual honesty is essential to personal and
communal integrity. Sexual honesty is not possible without
honesty  about human mortality,  reflexive  relationships,
and  lack  of  control over destiny.  It is  important  to
recognize the tap roots of our many forms of dishonesty.
