  %SECRET INTEGRITY CONSCIOUS HONESTY INTIMACY LOVE 930416

     Much  may  be  revealed about  a  community  and  its
members  by  giving  careful  attention to  what  is  kept
hidden,  and for what  reasons each hidden reality is kept
hidden.   We  keep hidden that which a community does  not
accept,  respect, or relate to  in a comfortable way.   We
keep  hidden what embarrasses members of the community and
engenders fear in them.

     Often  what  we  keep  hidden  reveals  our  lack  of
personal  and  communal  integrity;  for our  reasons  for
keeping some realities hidden lack integrity. We keep many
truths hidden by  reason of disintegrative fears which are
rooted  in  our respected addictions,  codependencies  and
collusive games of mutual self deception.  It may be taboo
to  reveal  truths  which  have come to us in  moments  of
insight/revelation;  so we keep such truths hidden, safely
repressed   and  suppressed.  They are  our  traditionally
hidden truths.

     We keep  hidden many of our  most  integrative  human
experiences; because  if revealed  they would threaten our
most powerful addicts,  codependents and collusive leaders
who dominate our states of consciousness. Such revelations
would  lead   to  us  being  rejected,    despised,    and
excommunicated  by powerful members of our community  whom
we  in  our misguided ignorance tend to respect.  Thus  we
keep hidden many aspects of being fully  human in intimate
reflexive relationships where  there  are  intimations  of
honest sexuality and truly mutual relationships.

     We  keep  hidden  our  understandings  of  our  truly
reflexive  relationships,  for they cannot be verified  in
the   objective   ways   which   elicit  consensus   among
powerful  manipulative  experts   in  various   kinds   of
research    and  scholarship.   Through  our  failure   to
acknowledge  and reveal our  insights into truly reflexive
relationships   we  fall into patterns of self and  mutual
deception    and   dishonesty.    Some     truths      are
traditionally   hidden truths which are unconventional and
non-conformal in nature.

     We  need  to work to set each other free to be honest
about our  most integrative experiences;  to give  and  to
accept   true   security  as  a  charitable   gift.    Our
traditionally  hidden  truths are not false;  they  remain
hidden in us occasioning tension  between  our mutual self
deceptions and our true reflexive  perceptions of reality.
To transcend our collusions,  addictions,  codependencies,
and traditions of hiding many reflexive truths, we need to
repeatedly  acknowledge   our  failures  to  control  with
integrity  all that we have tried to control.  We need  to
set   each   other   free  to  uncover  and   reveal   our
traditionally  hidden truths,  insights,  perceptions  and
experiences.
