People who are preoccupied with commandments as the basis for making alienative judgments about themselves and/or others, do not thereby create contexts for honesty, integrity or joy. People who are preoccupied with perfecting new forms or sets of commandments to serve as controlling factors in people's lives, do not thereby create contexts for honesty, integrity of joy. People who are preoccupied with systematizing and indexing old forms and set of commandments to better regulate people's lives, do not thereby create contexts for honesty, integrity or joy. People who are preoccupied with re-interpreting the varied understandings of old forms and sets of commandments (to help avoid misunderstandings which they have generated), do not thereby create contexts for honesty, integrity or joy. People who work hard to set up judicial procedures to insure the fair use of commandments in judging who is good and who is evil, do not thereby create contexts for honesty, integrity or joy. People who work hard to craft careful legislation to insure that commandments are clearly written and enacted into law, do not thereby create contexts for honesty, integrity or joy. No kind of preoccupation with commandments creates the context for honesty, integrity, or joy. No kind of commandments have the power to create the context for honesty, integrity, or joy. Commandments invite people to make alienative judgments; and the invitation is usually accepted. Commandments are not of themselves bad or evil; they just aren't the key to creating the context for honesty, integrity or joy. It is foolish to pretend otherwise. It is not wise to do so. Integrative role models who know the true meaning of love are free to give the gift of security which is essential in creating the contexts for honesty, integrity and joy. Integrative role models are the personal incarnations of that which is the essence of true contexts for honesty, integrity and joy. Integrative role models do not live by commandments. They are not preoccupied with commandments in any way. They do not make alienative judgments in terms of any set of commandments. They do not seek to be perfect, or to make other people perfect, in terms of any set of commandments. Integrative role models threaten the paradigms of people who are in various ways preoccupied with commandments. They threaten the world views, self images, attitudes, presuppositions, power, collusions, addictions and self-righteous codependencies of people who are in various ways preoccupied with commandments. Integrative role models are often judged harshly as being irresponsible, undisciplined, illegal, immoral, and unethical by those who are preoccupied with commandments. They have on occasion been crucified as trouble makers. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
