Collusions demand ignorance of truths which might expose the dishonesties which are the foundations of the collusions. Collusions are woven into their "coherent" forms through the apparent strength of their threads which are lies. Thus true self-knowledge and true knowledge of each other cannot be permitted by collusive societies. In collusive societies it seems reasonable to assume that (and to behave as if) two people SHOULD BE ABLE TO relate to and connect with each other's lives IN MUTUALLY SATISFYING WAYS WITHOUT THEM INTIMATELY KNOWING AND/OR SHARING THEIR OWN AND EACH OTHER'S: desires, fears, hopes, aspirations, anxieties, joys, pleasures, etc. Such nonsense often comes to be regarded as GOSPEL TRUTH and plays central roles in religious teachings, lives and experiences! The inevitable consequences are the disintegration of honest connections within and among people. The trapped victims of the collusive prisons fail to recognize the evil nature of the consequences or of the causes. Only the collusions thrive. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
