  %ENTHUSIASM ENERGY ENJOY PARTICIPATE DISINTEGRATE 940420

    We cannot with enthusiastic energy,  joy and enjoyment
participate  with  people who lack integrity in activities
which  we  know to be disintegrative in a  community  that
lacks  integrity.   One apparent way out of the dilemma is
to play collusive games of mutual self  deception  whereby
we   do  not  know  that  the  people  with  whom  we  are
participating in activities lack integrity---and that  our
activities lack integrity; but---tragically those games of
mutual self  deception  do  not liberate us to  enjoy with
joy, energy  and  enthusiasm  that  within  which  we  are
participants.

    To  be  involved with enthusiastic  energy,   joy  and
enjoyment  in our activities we must dedicate ourselves to
creating contexts within which we and others can be safely
vulnerable  in  open and honest  relationships.    In  the
absence  of such safety, technologies are bound to be used
in alienative rather than in integrative ways.  The spirit
in  which  technologies  are  developed and  used  are  as
important  to  their  consequences---as are the  technical
details   and  sophistication  of  the  technologies   and
technicians.
