     When   we   are   stuck  in   a   dysfunctional   and
disintegrative   pattern  of  attitudes,   decisions   and
actions---we  may be bound by a meta-paradigm according to
which   we   are  mislead  into  choosing   disintegrative
paradigms,  ideals,  values, gods and goddesses. Our meta-
paradigms  tell  us what to do when we think/feel  that  a
meta-mistake  has  been made---they guide our  efforts  to
engage in corrective meta-actions.

     When  we  detect that we are off-course,   our  meta-
paradigm  tells  us how to get back on course;   which  of
course involves telling us when we are off-course.  We are
double bound by our meta-paradigm if it leads us to repeat
over and over the actions which lead us into dysfunctional
and disintegrative attitudes,  decisions and actions.   We
are  stuck  when  our  meta-paradigm  leads  us  back   to
alienative attitudes,   decisions  and actions whenever we
become aware of their disintegrative consequences.

     To  get unstuck from dysfunctional meta-paradigms  we
need  to be open and honest with ourselves;  and with each
other; about the details of our own experiences, feelings,
perceptions, attitudes, hopes,  fears and desires---and to
give  to ourselves and to each other the gifts of security
and  truth worthiness  which  will make such  openness and
honesty safe for us, and safe for others.
