  %MANIPULATE TECHNIQUE RELIGIOUS RITUAL PRAY FAITH 911224

     We may approach religion, ritual, prayer, meditation,
and  questions of faith in a number of different frames of
mind.    Our  approach  may  pertain  to  our  own  being,
attitudes,  decisions and/or actions; or to those of other
persons.    What  we perceive depends not only on what  is
real,   but on the manner of our approach to that which is
real.   Objectively and reflection reside within those who
experience them and share them.

     Our manner of approach may be manipulative, or not.

     The character of our experience follows as much  from
the  manner  of our approach,  as from  the  realities  we
encounter and the particular objective actions included in
our  responses  to  what we  encounter  in  ourselves  and
others.

     Others'  manner of approach to their realities may be
NON-MANIPULATIVE,   yet  we may approach their  being  and
actions with a MANIPULATIVE manner; and perceive in others
what we expect to perceive:  then what we perceive reveals
more  of  our self,  than it reveals about those  whom  we
think we perceive as separate from us.

more  of  our self,  than it reveals about those  whom  we
think we perceive as separate from us.
