%KNOW TRUTH SELF OTHER FEELING CONNECTION INTEGRITY 910111

     To  be  whole  and healthy we need to know the  truth
about  our own feelings,  thoughts,  reasoning,   desires,
fears,  hopes, aspirations,   etc.  We must be honest with
ourself to  be whole and healthy.

     It    is    not   enough   to    know    the    truth
intellectually,   logically,    reasonably,    affectively
and/or  individually.   When  we  do not  know  the  truth
together communally,  we fear that  our  own  sense of the
truth  may  alienate  us  from others,  we  understandably
fear  alienation,  and are willing to  do violence to  the
truth,  which is in us,   to  avoid alienation.

     It    is    not   enough   to    know    the    truth
intellectually,  logically,    reasonably,    affectively,
individually   OR  communally.     It   is  essential   to
know   the   truth intellectually    AND   logically   AND
reasonably   AND individually  AND  communally.  There are
many   essential  aspects  to  integratively  knowing  the
truth.    The   absence  of  any   essential   aspect   to
integratively  knowing   the   truth  may  undermine   our
integrity and health.

     It is not enough to seek the truth intellectually.

     It is not enough to seek the truth logically.

     It is not enough to seek the truth reasonably.

     It is not enough to seek the truth affectively.

     It is not enough to seek the truth individually.

     It is not enough to seek the truth communally.

     If   any  essential  aspect of seeking the  truth  is
ignored,   the absence may block the search for the truth.
Integrity may be undermined by any critical disconnection.
Integrity  depends  upon  the  presence  of  all  critical
connections.

                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
