  %OPEN HONEST EFFECTIVE AFFECTION ESCAPE COLLUSION 900503

     Open and  honest affection play a key  role  in   the
transcendence of the power of collusive taboos.  Lectures,
declarations  and readings are ineffective in the  absence
of  effective demonstrations of acceptance and  love  upon
occasions  of personal   revelation of lack of respect for
collusive taboos.

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

     Affectively  honest  demonstrations of  true  freedom
from  the power of disintegrative taboos are effective  in
offering true freedom from the dishonest taboos of others.
To  be   effective the gift of freedom must  be  accepted;
freedom cannot  be unilaterally given in an effective way.
True  freedom must be affectively offered and  affectively
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 new kinds  of  attention
upon  in  them in efforts to stop being  preoccupied  with
them.   Changing  the nature  of  the  preoccupation  with
disintegrative   taboos does not lead to the transcendence
of the taboos.

     Transcendence comes with the shifting of attention to
more  integrative matters within a coherent context  which
provides  an  affective basis for  affirming  the  greater
importance of the new foci of attention as part of healthy
living.
