   %CONFORM SALVATION ACCEPT RESPECT LOVE AFFECTION 930609

     When  any form of conformity is regarded as essential
to salvation, acceptance, respect, honor, and affection it
follows that many forms of secrecy, repression, deception,
dishonesty,  and collusive games of mutual self  deception
are   essential  to  the  achievement  of  the   necessary
appearances  of conformity.    Conformity usually requires
that  a  person appear  to be other than the person really
is.  Unique persons cannot appear to conform to externally
imposed standardized requirements---without doing violence
which  bends  them  out  of  their  unique  shapes  and/or
conceals/masks their unique shapes.

     People  who believe that various forms of  conformity
are  essential to salvation deny the value and  importance
of the uniqueness of individuals.   They fear differences,
diversity and creativity which might expose their own:

     1.  Desires to be in control.
     2.  Collusive games of mutual self deception.
     3.  Addictions and dishonest concealment of them.
     4.  Codependent support of addicts and their games.
     5.  Insecurity and defensive maneuvers.
     6.  Imperfections and fear of their discovery.
     7.  Use of masks and deceptive role playing.
     8.  Ignorance, alienation and misunderstandings.
     9.  Lack of connection with their unique soul.
    10.  Utter dependence upon authority.

     Compulsive preoccupations with conformity, authority,
perfection,   achievements,   laws,   rules,  regulations,
prohibitions,  prescriptions, moral codes,  ethical codes,
prerequisites,  judgments,  rejections,  excommunications,
alienation, banishment, etc. lead to the disintegration of
both   personal   and  communal  integrity---and   so   to
communities  which  lack health,   vitality,   creativity,
imagination, and other survival skills.
