  %EXPERIENCE GOOD EVIL ALIENATION DISHONESTY MORAL 910501

     It is  futile to attempt to define what is  good  and
what evil in the absence of open and honest discussion  of
real personal experiences of alienation,   disintegration,
dishonesty and confusion.

     Moral codes  and  legalistic systems  which  are  not
evaluated in the context of open and honest discussions of
real  personal experiences of alienation,  disintegration,
dishonesty  and  confusion---are codes and  systems  which
lead to tragic alienation, disintegration,  dishonesty and
confusion.

     Abstractions which  act  to  control  living, without
themselves  being  judged in terms of the experiences   of
real  living  people  who are engaged in open  and  honest
discussions of their personal experiences---are alienative
abstractions;    which   lead their   incarnations    into
disintegration,    because they  promote  dishonesty   and
confusion.

     No  authority  or  power  can  promote  personal  and
communal  integrity  in  the absence of  open  and  honest
discussions  by real living people of their  own  personal
experiences.

     Any authority or power which acts in ways which  tend
to  inhibit/replace  open and honest discussions  by  real
living  people  of  their own personal  experiences;  is a
disintegrative  authority or power;   not matter how long-
standing,    sophisticated,   powerful,   respected and/or
traditional it may be.

                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
