   %BURDEN CONVENTIONAL CONFORMAL DENIAL TRUTH REAL 910416

     In   an  addictive/codependent   society  members  of
the  community   often   carry   the  burden  of   needing
to conventionally deny some basic truths about themselves,
as  part   of  the process of being  socialized  into  the
society and being accepted as being "normal".

     Members  of addictive/codependent communities need to
seek ways to set down their burdens of dishonest pretense,
and to  let go of them,  and detach from such burdens.  It
is  disintegrative   to carry such burdens and to  pretend
that   they    are    not    being   carried.     It    is
disintegrative   to  conform,   and  to  pretend  that  in
conformity  one  is honestly being true to  one's  deepest
unique self.

     Conformity  often  has  to do  with ultimate  beliefs
about  one's    own  nature,     mortality,     sexuality,
emotions,   perspectives,     perceptions,    experiences,
beliefs,     and  convictions.   When  conformity  demands
dishonesty in regards to    such   matters,     conformity
demands    personal disintegration,    and  so  conformity
demands   communal disintegration.
