Addictive collusions block channels of communication between people and their environment, and among people--- to inhibit the revelation of the systematic games of mutual self deception which collusive addicts compulsively play with each other. Primary sense organs and sensations bring to us information about our environment. Collusive addicts cannot tolerate us getting reliable information about our environment if the information is contrary to what they are pretending is true about our environment. To them it is essential that they dishonestly block the open and honest reception of reliable information about the environment. Thus addicts inhibit, deaden and/or confuse sensations with drugs, threats, prohibitions and violent manipulations of our perceptions. This results in further senseless behavior. Were we to think about what sensations we have due to being connected to our environment, we might perceive that collusive addicts are playing senseless games of mutual self deception. To prevent such a terrible perception collusive addicts seek to inhibit clear informed thinking and so promote behavior which is both senseless and thoughtless. If we are nevertheless in touch with the absurdity and tragic nature of what others and we have done and are doing, we might feel that it makes no sense---and regret our involvement in the absurd mistakes we have made and tragic fixations we have had with disintegrative ideals and values. Such feelings must be prevented, deadened and/or repressed---if the collusive games of self deception are to be protected and sustained. Thus collusive addicts use many techniques to prevent, deaden, repress, re-interpret, confuse and forget feelings, emotions, affection and true love. Our senseless and mindless behaviors must be objectively sterile and detached, lest we perceive them with any passion which might motivate us to seek alternative paradigms and life- styles. Were we to be true to self and others in open and honest conversations we might compare our own personal experiences and perceptions with each other---and find out that our collusive-addictive leaders had been misleading us because of their fixation upon protecting their collusive games of mutual self deception. That is unthinkable---and must not be thought of---and must not be talked about. It is essential that all open and honest talk, conversation, writing, touching, affection and sexual behavior be inhibited---else the essential secrets about collusive games of mutual self deception will be revealed, and the laws and orders which have been so carefully stacked one upon each other as a house of cards will tumble down.
