    %TABOO CHANGE GROWTH HEALTH TRUTH ESCAPE PRISON+931127

     Often we experience tragedies which are mysterious to
us.   We do not often understand our tragedies, but rather
sense  that  there is some change which needed to be  made
which we  and others did not make---and the tragedies flow
from the lack of needed change, growth,  healthy truth and
escape  from  some form of prison which we cannot  see  or
understand.

     Often  we  are imprisoned by the paradigms  which  we
worship as idols.  We are imprisoned by our idolatry.  Our
exclusive paradigms   lay upon us the burdens of excluding
from our lives the healthy change and growth which painful
truths might liberate us to enjoy.

     If our paradigms are dominated by  collusive games of
mutual    self   deception   foretelling   the    immanent
transcendence of our true limits,  then we  are chained to
the walls of our prisons of collusive dishonesty.

     If  our  paradigms imprison us,  then  no  technology
which celebrates our paradigms will liberate us,  no level
of  resource consumption will lift burdens from our souls,
and  no  sophisticated scholarship will empower us  to  be
free.

     If  our paradigms deny the reality of our  souls  and
the  vitality of our spirits,  then no cooperative efforts
to fulfill our paradigms will resurrect our bodies,  souls
or spirits;  and so we  will  continue  to disintegrate as
addictive   individuals,   families,  churches,   schools,
organizations, businesses,  societies and nations.
