Distort, repress, suppress, and mask truths. 2. Present falsehoods as unquestionable truths. 3. Distort, repress, suppress, and mask emotions. 4. Present disintegrative ideals, values and images as having integrity. 5. Put masks of integrity upon addictive processes. 6. Engender alienation in support of religions. 7. Block intimacy to keep dishonesty hidden. 8. Create crises to facilitate maintaining control. 9. Generate confused forgetfulness. 10. Promote authoritarianism to facilitate control. Deep integrative processes are the reverse of the above and so contrast greatly with addictive processes. Deep integrative processes occur within members of a community, and within communal groups where true security is given and received as the gift of the freedom to be safely vulnerable. Deep integrative processes tend to: 1. Clarify, elicit, express and unmask truths. 2. Reveals what is false and what is true. 3. Clarify, elicit, express, and unmask emotions. 4. Clarify differences between disintegrative and integrative ideals, values and images. 5. Charitably reveal addictive processes' natures. 6. Promote reconciling conflict resolutions. 7. Promote intimacy to expose dishonesty. 8. Resolve conflicts to transcend controls 9. Work for clear memories and clear thinking. 10. Share power in balanced mutual ways. We cannot do deep integrative processes for other people. Other people cannot do for us the integrative processes which we need to do for ourselves. We and others can offer to each other and accept from each other the gift of true security which is the freedom to be safely vulnerable in doing our own deep integrative processes in the presence of encouraging supporters of such integrative processes. Deep integrative processes do not conform to any particular religion, theory, prescription, proscription, requirement, doctrine, ritual, system or paradigm. Deep integrative processes meet the needs of unique individuals to deal openly and honestly with their own unique histories of experiences, perceptions, insights, emotions, needs, hopes, aspirations, disappointments, failures, and hurts. Deep integrative processes occur within people when they are secure in communal contexts where they can be safely vulnerable in being open and honest in going through the doors into and out of their own unique integrative processing. Deep integrative processes are not essentially intellectual, cognitive, scientific, or emotional; but may yield fruits which are expressed in the manners of intellectuals, cognitive specialists, scientists, and emotionally open people. Deep integrative processes cannot be controlled or made to conform to any particular religion, theory, prescription, proscription, requirement, doctrine, ritual, system or paradigm. Attempts to control deep integrative processes are addictive processes which tend to terminate deep integrative processes; causing them to wait for more favorable circumstances where unique people are free to be true to themselves and others with personal and communal integrity.
