%COLLUSIVE TABOO JUSTIFY EXPERIENCE TRANSCEND VALUE 920721

     Collusions,   addictions and codependencies  are  not
justified  openly  and honestly in terms  of  transcendent
values and ideals; for to do so would expose the essential
dishonesties  which lie at the heart of them,  and  expose
the  fact  that they are not  based upon any  transcendent
values and  ideals  other than  the use of dishonesty as a
manipulative tool with which to achieve control.

     Collusive  taboos serve the purposes of  a collusion;
and so cannot be justified openly and honestly in terms of
transcendent  values  and ideals,  or in terms  of  actual
human  experiences  of natural consequences  which  flowed
from decisions and actions.  To the extent that taboos are
enforced  with  personal  rejections,    excommunications,
banishments,  disfellowshippings  and similar  overt/tacit
procedures;   to  that  extent taboos  are  disintegrative
collusive taboos.  Such taboos  cannot be justified openly
and honestly.

     Prohibitions which take the form of collusive  taboos
need to be recognized as such,  and dealt with as such  in
open and honest conversations;  they do not merit respect,
and  it  is important to articulate why they do not  merit
respect.   Ask  for justification of taboos to see if  any
existential justification will be offered,  or if any open
and honest appeal is made to transcendent values which are
genuinely integrative in their import.

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