     To  enjoy  the fruits of wise decisions  and  actions
which  are  based  on  reliable  information---we need  to
earnestly  seek addiction-free and collusion-free personal
reports  of people's own personal experiences.   Open  and
honest  reports of personal experiences are unlikely to be
offered   within   the   contexts   of   communities   and
relationships which are dominated by: addicts, addictions,
collusions, colluders and their codependent supporters.

     People   who   are  preoccupied   with   disciplines,
controls,   perfection  and conformity with  theories  and
injunctions---are  unlikely  to  share  with anybody  free
gifts of the freedom to be  safely  vulnerable in open and
honest  intimate personal relationships---and so they  are
unlikely  to  be  reliably informed or  earnestly  seeking
addiction-free  and/or  collusion-free personal reports of
people's  own personal experiences.   They are unlikely to
enjoy  the fruits of wise decisions and  actions;   or  to
allow  others  to enjoy the fruits of wise  decisions  and
actions.

     There   are  people  who  claim  that  they  are  the
recipients of super-natural and/or super-human revelations
of truths and commandments which are NOT GROUNDED  in open
and honest collusion-free  and  addiction-free  reports of
personal   experiences   of  humans  involved   in   human
relationships which are not coercive,  not violent and not
manipulative.     We will do well to be skeptical of  such
reports  of  revelations  if they  are  inconsistent  with
reports  which ARE GROUNDED in open and honest  collusion-
free and addiction-free reports of personal experiences of
humans  involved  in human  relationships  which  are not-
coercive, not-violent and not-manipulative.

     Revelations  which  lead  to coercive,   violent  and
manipulative human relationships and experiences---need to
be described openly and honestly in terms of their fruits.
Claims  which are made for their transcendent nature  need
to be assessed in terms of open and honest descriptions of
what  the  revelations and those who take  them  seriously
lead  to  in human  affairs,   judgments,   condemnations,
excommunications and alienations.

     The  above  considerations  are also relevant to  the
selection  and  interpretation of traditionally  respected
collections of scriptures.    The  meanings  found therein
depend  greatly  upon  what  scriptures are  selected  for
special  attention, what scriptures are mostly ignored and
upon what assumptions  and  upon what attitudes  guide the
interpretations of  those  scriptures chosen for special
attention.

                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
