 %HUMAN FINITE TRAGIC EXCLUSIVE SELECTIVITY COLLUDE+950114

     Because of human finitude we must all be selective in
what we attend to.   We cannot attend to all possible foci
of attention.   Yet,  we often become tragically selective
in  what we attend to.   We individually and  collectively
fall into the tragic trap of systematically excluding from
attention  truths  which  we need to include  as  part  of
healthy balanced living.   Such exclusivity is tragic when
it  is part of a systemic pattern of games of mutual  self
deception.  Such collusive exclusivity is invisible to the
participants in the games of mutual self deception.   Such
games  become visible only through dialogue between people
who  are  not playing the games and those who are  playing
the   games---with  the intention on the  part  of   those
participating in the dialogue of discovering their diverse
collusive games of mutual self deception.

     Exclusive  selectivity is not an objective process or
reality  to  the participants who are taking part  in  the
process or creating the reality; it is a reflexive process
and reality.  It may be recognized only through seeking to
be  honestly  responsible  through trying to  be  honestly
responsive  to  and with people who are different from  us
and  differ  with  with  us;  disagree  with  us  in  very
fundamental ways.  Tragically exclusive selectivity cannot
be   recognized  through technical procedures  or  rituals
carried out within the framework of a normative paradigm.
