    %COLLUDE ADDICT BLOCK TABOO LISTEN DIALOGUE SEE 930222

     Our  collusions,  addictions and  codependencies  are
committed   to   dishonesty,   deception  and   misleading
behavior. They not only lead us to be dishonest, deceptive
and misleading; they also work to keep us from hearing and
listening to the truths which are spoken to us  out of the
depths of our bodies,   minds,   souls, spirits, families,
friends, lovers, and God.

     Blocked listening is essential to the survival of our
destructive collusions, addictions and codependencies.

     Not  only is listening blocked;  so also  is  seeing,
hearing, tasting, smelling, feeling, insight and spiritual
perception  when  they might threaten to expose the fabric
of  dishonesty  which has been woven  by  our  collusions,
addictions  and codependencies.  Thus we are cut off  from
truly knowing ourselves and each other.  We cannot be true
to ourselves or each other through so much blockage.

     Misleading  rules,   regulations,   laws,   mandates,
prohibitions,     taboos,    expectations,      judgments,
excommunications,  rejections,  and other similar tools of
collusive  manipulation  have become  the  focus  of   our
attention and we are  blocked from listening to the truths
which  are written in our hearts;  but to which we  cannot
listen because of the blockages. We need to become free to
listen to the truths which are within us and to people who
are  different  from  us,  but to whom we fear  to  listen
because their truths might embarrass us.

     It is important to recognize that our collusions  not
only  lead us to be dishonest,  they also lead us to block
any listening  to the truth;  for only by doing  both  can
they protect the closely  woven fabric of their apparently
successful   and   respectable,   but  highly  misleading,
"truths".
