It must include acknowledgements of the essential role that reflexive considerations play in healthy living and in the perpetual evolution of a healthy pattern of personal and communal values and ideals. 2. Each affirmation of each important element and/or relationship within the pattern, must include an explicit and/or implicit affirmation of the reality and importance of each other element and/or relationship within the pattern---none being exclusive relative to the others. 3. Elements and/or relationships which are real, important and in need of inclusion in an integrative pattern of personal and communal values and ideals, are pointed to by the following words/phrases: PERSONAL INTEGRITY COMMUNAL EXPERIENCE EXISTENTIAL TRUTH HONESTY OPENNESS RESPONSIVENESS UNIQUE CREATIVITY GROWTH CHANGE RENEWAL REBIRTH RESURRECTION SALVATION REFORMATION FORGIVENESS ACCEPTANCE DIALOGUE HEALTHY SELF-ESTEEM VULNERABILITY FREEDOM SECURITY STABILITY SOUL MIND SELF BODY EGO OTHERS SPIRIT ATTITUDE ASSUMPTIONS PHYSICAL OBJECTS SUBJECTS REASON LOGIC MEASURE COMPUTATIONS ARTICULATIONS EXPRESSIONS While inclusivity is essential, so also it is essential that there be recognitions of the hazards pointed to by the realities represented by the following words: EXCLUSIVITY DICHOTOMIES EITHER-OR GOOD EVIL SUCCESS RIGHT WRONG FAILURE FIXES FIXATIONS TECHNOCRACY SOLUTIONS PROBLEMS DILEMMAS WARS VIOLENCE CONFLICTS COMPETITION WINNING CONTROL DISCIPLINE LAWS RULES REGULATIONS PROHIBITIONS PROSCRIPTIONS MANAGEMENT TABOOS PRESCRIPTIONS JUDGMENTALISM LEGALISM ARROGANCE DENIALS DISHONESTY PRETENSE COLLUSIONS ADDICTIONS CODEPENDENCE Reflexive aspects are essential in intra-personal and inter-personal relationships. So also reflexive aspects are essential in the interplay within the pattern woven by the threads of ideals and values. There are hazards whenever the affirmation of one thread in the patterns of people, ideals and values entails the denial of the reality or importance of another which is real and important. Dishonesty is not integrative. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
