          %ACKNOWLEDGE NAME DESCRIBE OWN EXPERIENCE 911027

     To  enjoy  both  personal  and  communal  health  and
wholeness  we need to honestly know,  acknowledge,   name,
describe,   and  own our our own  experiences,   emotions,
desires,  thoughts, fears, etc. Yet,  we cannot enjoy both
personal health and wholeness by ourselves.

     To  enjoy both personal health and wholeness we  need
to  have  others who honestly know,   acknowledge,   name,
describe and affirm our experiences,  emotions,   desires,
thoughts,   fears,  etc.  We need even more to  experience
communal  affirmations  of  the  relationships  in   which
intimate others honestly know, acknowledge, name, describe
and affirm our experiences,  emotions, desires,  thoughts,
fears, etc.

     If  we  do  not enjoy personal health  and  wholeness
within  such contexts as just described;  then we are  not
able to profit from our experiences,  emotions,   desires,
thoughts,  fears etc. We are unlikely to have available to
us the information,  knowledge and understanding which are
essential to making and acting upon wise decisions.
