%EFFECTIVE RELEASE COLLUSIVE TABOOS ACCEPTANCE LOVE 900422

     Effective   affective  release  from  the  power   of
collusive  taboos comes less from lectures,   declarations
and  readings;   than  from  effective  demonstrations  of
acceptance  and  love upon occasions of revelations  of  a
lack of respect for such taboos.

     Only  with  the  support  of  an  integrative  social
context  are the prisoners of such  disintegrative  taboos
really set free.   Rebellion is ineffective.  Lectures are
ineffective.     Verbal  statements  in  the  absence   of
affective support are ineffective.

     Affectively  honest  demonstrations of  true  freedom
from the power of disintegrative taboos are demonstrations
which are effective in offering  freedom from  such taboos
to those not yet free of  collusive taboos  which  lead to
disintegration.  Yet, to be effective the freedom which is
offered  through such honest  demonstrations must also  be
accepted.   Such freedom cannot  be unilaterally given and
be  effective.    Such freedom  must be freely offered and
also freely accepted to be effective.

     Transcendence  of disintegrative taboos occurs within
contexts which provide a basis for focusing attention upon
interests  other than the taboos.   Disintegrative  taboos
are  not  transcended by focusing attention upon  them  in
efforts to stop being preoccupied with them. Transcendence
and  freedom  come with the shifting of attention to  more
important matters within social and intellectual  contexts
which provide a basis for affirming the greater importance
of the new foci of attention.

     New   foci   of   attention  may  provide   ways   of
understanding the dynamics of the processes through  which
collusive    taboos   lead   to   personal   and    social
disintegration.  Such new foci provide alternative ways of
concentrating  attention  more creatively than do the ways
which   demonstrate  preoccupation  with   collusive   and
dishonest  taboos.  Such new foci provide the grounds  for
letting   go  of  any  preoccupation  with  disintegrative
taboos.
