   %TRUE KNOWLEDGE PERTAIN POWER PREDICT MANIPULATE+940519
  %CONTROL DIALOGUE COMMUNE COMMUNICATE OPEN HONEST 940519

Our personal  knowledge does not pertain to or come   from
any power to predict, manipulate, or control.

Our personal knowledge does not pertain to and is not  the
fruit of any pattern of anticipations and/or expectations,
or conformity  to  any  pattern  of  anticipations  and/or
expectations.

    We do not come to know ourselves or each other through
the  exercise  of any knowledge  related  to  predictions,
manipulations or control.

    We  do  not come to know ourselves or  each  other  by
being involved in proper  pattern of anticipations  and/or
expectations,  or any form of conformity to any pattern of
anticipations and/or expectations.

    We do not know ourselves or each other through success
or      achievements    pertaining    to    anticipations,
expectations   or conformity.

    We  know  ourselves and each other by accepting  God's
gift  that we are all created one in the Holy  Spirit  and
that  we find good only in the Mysterious  Presence;   but
find  evil  when we absent ourselves from  the  Mysterious
Presence  and wander in ignorance in the darkness which we
find far from  the  light of the truths which are  present
when  we  seek to know  ourselves and each  other  in  the
Mysterious  Presence in the Present Eternal Now of our  I-
Thou intimate relationships.

    When  we  seek to be truly ourselves and are  true  to
ourselves and to each other, we come to know ourselves and
each other   openly   and honestly as we acknowledge  that
we are conceived to be one in the Holy Spirit and  that we
find good only in the Mysterious Presence.

    We  create  alienative (evil)  relationships  when  we
absent  ourselves  from the  Mysterious Presence  of  non-
judgmental non-condemning Truth and Love;  when we seek to
be  in  control and to fulfill all of  our   expectations,
anticipations  and  predictions  thorough knowledge  which
pertains  to our power to conceive,   create and  perceive
ourselves in control of whatever we choose.  Such power is
alienative  and leads us to conceive God as a devilish and
weak  perversion  of  the  True God of  Love,   Power  and
Justice.

    In  our  dishonest  confusion we  endow  our  devilish
conceptions and  creations with great powers which we fear
and  make  the focus of our ultimate concerns.    Thus  we
lead lives dominated by fear.  We attempt to be in control
through   countless    defensive   measures, measurements,
comparisons,   perceptions  of imperfections,   judgments,
rejections,  condemnations, and excommunications.   In our
alienation   we  do  not  know  ourselves  or  each  other
honestly,   openly,    or  with the power to  resolve  the
conflicts which we have created.

    We  cannot reconcile our conflicts because we  do  not
re-member  that  we  are all members of one and  other  in
God's Mysterious Presence.

We are not re-known because we  do not re-member and  know
each   other  as as members one of another and as One   in
the Holy Spirit.

    We  are  not  re-conciled  because  we  do  not   seek
reconciliation  through  re-union  following  our  ex-com-
union.
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
