 %ALIEN PARADIGM OBJECT REFLEX RELATION TABOO CAUSE 930212

     Within  the society which has become addicted  to  an
alienative/objective  paradigm  people often  believe that
particular  non-conformal  behaviors  are  the  cause   of
alienation;   in the manner of the cause/effect  objective
laws of physics. Such belief flies in the face of the fact
that alienation is a reflexive/relational reality.

     Individuals do not cause alienation.  Alienation is a
kind of development in  a relationship  within which there
are at least two participants. Alienation is the result of
team work. There is  alienation  when there is cooperation
in generating  alienation.  Alienation is not an objective
reality  at  heart.   At heart alienation is  a  reflexive
relational reality.

     Participants  in  alienative  processes   cannot   be
indifferent to the process;  cannot be objective about it.
Thus, the objective paradigm is ill-suited to leading wise
considerations regarding alienative processes.  We  cannot
understand,   predict  or   control   alienative processes
through the leadership of objective experts or beliefs. If
we  are  to  cope  with  the  dilemmas  and  tragedies  of
alienative processes we must seek wisdom in healthy people
who   are  integrative  leaders  in  reflexive  relational
processes;  not in people who are technocratic leaders  in
objective  processes  full  of  unresolved,   un-addressed
conflicts.

     Unresolved   conflicts   are  often  associated  with
alienation. People who are involved in relationships which
are full of unresolved conflicts are typically involved in
alienative processes.  Many of their beliefs are  held  in
common  and  generate cooperation in  behaving  so  as  to
maintain the conflicts;  rather than  so as to resolve the
conflicts.

     Addictive   people  work  to  prolong  conflicts  and
insecurity  because within the contexts of them people can
be manipulated far more easily  than within the context of
peace,   security,  tranquility  and  conflict resolution.
People who believe that they should be in control so  that
there  is conformity to good standards of   behavior,  are
thus prone to undermine conflict resolution;  and prone to
promote  crises and conflicts so that  they have an easier
time of trying to  control  the victims of the crises  and
conflicts.  Dishonesty plays a central role in maintaining
the  appearance  of  the  control which they feel must  be
maintained---because  control cannot really be  maintained
honestly.

     Dishonesty  plays  a  central  role  in  perpetuating
conflicts,  crises and alienation.  When people are  being
dishonest   with   each  other---conflicts,   crises   and
alienation   are  sure  to  be  present;    for   coherent
cooperative  behaviors  are impossible in the presence  of
systemic dishonesty.  A  little bit of dishonesty leads to
more dishonesty to cover up the original dishonesty;  thus
dishonesty  grows  exponentially  according to the law  of
exponential  growth which is proportional to the fruits of
previous  growth.   If people agree that dishonesty  is  a
useful   tool   of   manipulation---they   cooperate    in
manipulating   each   other  in  alienative   ways   which
perpetuate  their conflicts and crises.  Their  alienative
relationships are cooperative relationships; not objective
examples  of cause and effect which  they can view without
bias from a detached perspective.
