     In  the real-world we often encounter pairs of  words
and  phrases  which  bring together  incongruous pointers;
e.g., black-white or perfect-chaos.  Often people have fun
bringing  such  words  together  in  oxymorons  which  are
presented  to expose the vulnerable points of  people  who
are  fixated  upon one aspect of what the oxymoron  points
two ---  while being blind to the incongruity in  what has
been brought together; e.g., military-intelligence.

     Because of  how perfectionistic many religious people
are, there  are many  incongruous  word  pairs and phrases
which  can   be offered that  point  to the blindness of
perfectionist religious people and their gatherings.

     When  we  are confused and ignorant of the nature  of
what  words point to ---  we often bring words together in
what appear to  be meaningful ways,  and are often mislead
in tragic  ways  by our taking the incoherent combinations
of words to  be  accurate  and/or  meaningful  pointers to
reality.     We differ in what we intend to point to  with
our   combinations   of words,  and we differ in what   we
see  when we attend to what each other's  combinations  of
words point to for us.   Often we seem to create realities
by how we bring incoherent combinations of words together;
and   we  live  in  incoherent "dream-worlds"  with   many
disintegrative  dreams.   We cannot be people of integrity
in communities of  integrity  so  long  as  we  use  words
incoherently by ourselves and with each other.  We need to
get beyond the pointers  and seek to be more in-touch with
the  realities to which coherent combinations of words may
on occasion point.

     Our  combinations  of words are not the realities  to
which they often point.  By manipulating the words,  we do
not  manipulate  the realities to which word  combinations
often point.   By  manipulating  the words, we may confuse
ourselves and each other about the realities to which word
combinations can point.   In our collusive games of mutual
self-deception,   our  combinations of words  often  point
"every-which-way," in incoherent patterns of chaos.   Then
result  is that  we  make no  sense  and lose all sense of
what is real and what  is not real.   We lose contact with
reality  and  think  we  are in touch with reality  as  we
manipulate    incoherent  patterns  of  words  which   are
disconnected from the world of  true, personal connections
and experiences.  We are not seeking truth and  succeed in
not  finding truth.    We  are  not seeking  personal  and
communal  integrity and succeed in avoiding  integrity  as
we disintegrate.    It is difficult for us to  see clearly
what  it is that we are doing,  and what it is that we are
not doing; and why.

     When  we truly search for integrity and honesty,   we
often  find that the truth is paradoxical and so truth  is
not easily contained by unambiguous words, pairs of words,
and  word phrases.   Often the best we can do is to try to
point to the nature of our own experiences with words used
as   pointers;   leaving  others  free  to  discover   for
themselves the true nature of that to which we point,   as
they themselves experience what we have pointed to.
