 %RESPONSIVE REASONABLE OPEN HONEST REVEAL SELF SEX 920617

     To  be responsible we need to be openly and  honestly
responsive.   We  cannot  be responsible if we  cannot  be
openly  and  honestly responsive,  revealing  our  deepest
selves to each other.

     If  we  are involved in playing  collusive  games  of
mutual self  deception with addicts and  codependents,  we
cannot  be  openly and honestly responsive, for we are not
free  to  reveal our deepest selves to  each  other---such
revelations would be treason,  giving away collusive  team
secrets to the enemy.

     If  we  are  involved in playing collusive  games  of
mutual  self deception with addicts and codependents,   we
cannot  be  responsible,   and cannot enjoy  personal  and
communal  integrity in a community which enjoys integrity.
We  will  instead  disintegrate  within  a  disintegrating
community.

     In the absence of responsive leaders who are open and
honestly responsible to those who have selected them to be
leaders---the  tendency is toward disintegration;  for in
the absence of integrative efforts the tendency is toward
disintegration.   It takes energy and creativity to create
order/integrity  and to separate that which is  disordered
from  that  which  is  integrated.   The  second  law   of
thermodynamics  describes  the  overall  pattern  of  each
isolated  part of the universe to become more  disordered,
chaotic, dis-integrated through all natural processes.

     Within some parts of the universe concentrated energy
may  do  work and create islands of integrity,   and  also
reduce  the  level  of  concentration of the energy.   The
increased disorder (less  concentrated energy) is sent out
into inter-stellar space in the form of low density waste-
heat-energy.   Work is done to  increase  the  density  of
order,  structure,  and integrity in a local island within
inter-stellar space.  Such integration is brought about by
agents of integration, integrative leaders who distinguish
between order  and  disorder.   In  human communities such
agents  of unification are  responsible  leaders  who  are
responsible by being responsive in open and honest ways to
those who have trusted them  and took the risk of electing
them to be leaders. Such integrative people help to create
unification in  their communities by promoting high levels
of open and honest communication---whereby their followers
become more  intimate in sharing whatever they experience,
perceive, know, believe, feel,  and  are.  They seek to be
true to themselves and to each other, rather than  seek to
be conformists, or seek to make others to be conformists.
