The process of increasing our security entails letting go of our dishonest patterns of defense through offering and accepting increasing levels of mutual risk and trust---contrary to the disintegrative demands of our collusions, addictions and codependencies. It is hard to know how to truly increase our level of security if it is taboo to describe the honest steps which are essential to the process. When honesty is taboo because of our collusions, true security cannot be described, understood or enjoyed. It is hard to change our dysfunctional patterns of behavior so long as we do not describe openly and honestly the consequences of our inability to describe the steps toward increased security.
