    %COOPERATE COMMUNAL DISHONESTY COLLUSION ADDICT 910503

     Systemic,  communal and organizational dishonesty  in
addictions,   codependence and collusions are  cooperative
patterns of thought, feeling, communication and behavior--
and patterns which victimize all participants.

     Individuals do not have the power needed to transcend
such cooperative victimizing  patterns;   if   individuals
work  alone to try to transcend victimization. Because the
victimizing    patterns    are    systemic,      communal,
organizational    and   cooperative---the    process    of
transcending   the  victimizing  patterns  must  also   be
systemic,    communal,   organizational  and  cooperative.
Pretending  otherwise will not make it be so.   Pretending
otherwise is part of the cooperative victimizing patterns.

     Individuals can take initiatives which will  lead  to
systemic, communal and organizational efforts to be honest
with  self  and other in search of ways to  transcend  the
victimizing   patterns.    In  the  absence  of  systemic,
communal and organizational efforts to be honest with self
and  others in search of ways to transcend the victimizing
patters,    the  efforts  of individuals  will  ultimately
be  futile, frustrating and disintegrative.

     When  individuals  are  not able by  trying  to  make
something which is (is-not)  true to effectively appear as
if  it is-not (is)  true;  then through systemic, communal
and    organizational     dishonesty    in     addictions,
codependencies   and   collusions   many  people   working
together  can make  it appear  to themselves as if it  is-
not (is)    true.     Such appearances cost much in  time,
energy,  emotion,  anxiety, tension,   and in personal and
communal   disintegrations.   Such  appearances   can   be
maintained   only  for  limited amounts  of time,  and  at
great  costs---because  communities which   maintain  such
appearances  do so  in  disintegrative ways  which cost  a
great  deal  to compensate for,  even   temporarily.   The
ultimate cost is personal and communal disintegration.
