%COMMUNAL TRANSCEND COLLUSION CONFLICT RESOLVE LOVE 891101

     The   resolution   of  conflicts   within   collusive
communities is rooted in the honest acceptance of personal
experiences and knowledge, so that individually members of
the community own and affirm their own knowledge of  their
own experiences;  and so are free to confirm to each other
what they each know reflexively.

     Such  acceptance  and  knowledge is  associated  with
detachment from claims of superior authoritative knowledge
based  upon  elements of the collusive  system  which  has
become  attached  in a controlling way to members  of  the
collusive community.  The coercive and repressive  control
of   such  attachment  may  be  rejected  in  the   serene
tranquility  of the relaxation of the manipulative  clutch
which maintains the compulsive focus and attachment.

     The attachment is maintained so long as the clutch of
preoccupation is maintained.  The clutch of the attachment
may be let go,  if the preoccupation is relaxed. A  change
in  the  reality of the dominance of the attachment  flows
from changes in attitudes towards the dominating reality.

     The   resolution    of   conflicts   within   healthy
communities is rooted in the honest acceptance of personal
experiences and knowledge, so that individually members of
the  community own and affirm their own knowledge of their
own experiences;  and so are free to confirm to each other
what they each know reflexively.

     Conflict between the knowledge of personal experience
and the exclusive claims of dishonest authority  continues
so  long  as people are not honest in their acceptance  of
the  authenticity  of  their own  feelings,   perceptions,
desires, fears, hopes, and aspirations. It is important to
acknowledge  and own that which is real to us as being our
own reality;  even if it is only our own illusion which we
may come to recognize as only our own illusion.  We become
free  when  we can own our illusions as our own  with  the
recognition that they are illusions. We are in prison when
we cannot own our own illusions as such.

     We  are not imprisoned by what we openly and honestly
own. We are imprisoned by that which is really our own but
which  we cannot transcend through honest acceptance of it
as our own, in a way which sets us free to honestly affirm
and confirm it as our own.

     We cannot communicate honestly with each other  about
our  experiences and perceptions,  if we cannot accept and
acknowledge  to  ourselves  in  the  privacy  of  our  own
reflection,   those  personal experiences of our own  that
threaten  the collusions which govern our daily lives.  We
cannot  confirm  to  each other that  we  share  a  common
humanity  if  the  elements  of our  common  humanity  are
unacceptable  to us in the privacy of our  own  reflection
and meditation.

     Too  often  we  seek to  transcend  our  feelings  of
isolation by trying to be super-human.  In such efforts we
seek  to transcend our common humanity which is the  basis
for transcending our isolation. In such efforts we can not
with humility affirm the elements of our common  humanity.
Rather,   we  become preoccupied with our  insecurity  and
conflicts  which  are rooted in our low  self  esteem  and
arrogance.   Such  a preoccupation does not  cure  itself.
Concentrating  always  on  your own low  self  esteem  and
insecurity   does   not  eliminate  the  focus   of   your
concentration. Our low self esteem and insecurity cease to
trouble  us  when we concentrate  instead  upon  authentic
people and personal relationships.
