  %GIFT TRUE FREE FEAR REJECT EXCOMMUNICATE ACHIEVE 930321

     True  freedom is the freedom from fear of the threats
of:        rejection,     excommunication,     alienation,
estrangement, and attacks upon one's own integrity and the
integrity of one's community.

     True  freedom  is   not  achieved   through:   fixes,
technologies,    techniques,    manipulations,   controls,
maneuvers,   defenses,  secrecy,  deception,   dishonesty,
collusions,  addictions, or codependencies.   True freedom
is not achieved.

     True   freedom   is  the  gift  by   individuals  and
communities of contexts within which one may securely  and
honestly  both  be  and  feel  free  of  the  threats  of:
rejection, excommunication, alienation, estrangement,  and
attacks  upon  one's own integrity and  the  integrity  of
one's community.

     We may be unable to be free of the threats of: risks,
dangers,  tensions,  conflicts, work, failures, successes,
decay,   disintegration,   change,  growth,   spontaneity,
freedom  and  other realities of a healthy life.   We  can
give  the gift  of true freedom to each other, even though
we cannot achieve it for ourselves.

     We can  learn to trust each other to be there for  us
when  we are in need;  by being there for each  other when
each other is in need.  We can learn to be honest and  ask
each  other  for  what we really  need;   and  to  give up
dishonestly  seeking to get from each other all that we do
not really need.
