 %IGNORE OWN SENSATION EXPERIENCE CONSCIENCE ADDICT 910102

     In the dysfunctional society the pervasive message is
give  to   children  that  they should  ignore  their  own
sensations,    experiences,      conscience   and    other
indications of what is essential to their own personal and
communal integrity.

     The dysfunctional society's members believe that  the
key to the good life is to be found by focusing  attention
outside  of   what  can  be  known  through  healthy  self
consciousness;   i.e.,    by avoiding self  consciousness.
Self consciousness is feared as the ultimate threat;   and
is to be avoided at all costs.

     In   the dysfunctional society self-consciousness  is
to   be  avoided at all costs because the members  of  the
society  as children  experienced pervasive rejection  and
neglect  when they  attended  to  the  messages  of  self-
consciousness; experiencing  such  encouraging  attentions
as   they   did  experience only when they  focused  their
attention in  such ways as to divert their attention  away
from:    themselves, their sensations,  their perceptions,
their fears;  their hopes, their etc.

     Children  are  a threat to the collusive,   addictive
and  codependent    games   of   mutual   self   deception
of dysfunctional  societies.   Children must be taught not
to  see    the   truth  about  the   dishonesty   of   the
central   misleading   games  of  mutual  self  deception.
Children  must  be  taught  to   divert  their   attention
away   from   self-consciousness and towards the  "truths"
of  the  collective consciousness;   and only towards such
collective "truths." Children  must  not  be  permitted to
have  the  time  to meditate,  pray, dream, envision,   or
focus their attention in any but prescribed and supervised
ways;   for if they do so,    they are bound to  embarrass
the powerful members  of the  dysfunctional society.   The
consequences of that  are unthinkable.
