     Healthy  human sexuality and the associated  desires,
states of consciousness, intimacy,  dialogue,  excitement,
and fulfillment  are  gifts from God to be enjoyed  openly
and  honestly with personal and communal integrity.   They
are not  technical  goals  to  be  achieved  through  goal
definition,  systematic planning,  disciplined management,
quality control, time and motion studies, etc.    They are
not  evil temptations,  forebodings of disaster,  signs of
danger or the beginnings of chaotic disintegration.

     Healthy  human  sexuality is neither the  essence  of
evil,  nor the primary tool of any evil power to  occasion
personal and communal disintegration.

     Healthy  human sexuality is not a challenge to  human
ingenuity  and desires to to achieve and maintain  control
in order to enjoy security.

     Healthy human sexuality is not the testing ground for
human   dedications   to  collections   of   prohibitions,
injunctions,  commandments,  laws,  rules,  orders,   etc.
designed  by some fearful people in efforts to achieve and
maintain control, order, propriety and respectability.

     Whether  human  sexuality  plays  central  roles   in
dysfunctional  patterns of human behavior depends  greatly
in how humans regard human sexuality and how they  express
their sexuality.   The assumptions,  beliefs and attitudes
which guide our approach to our sexuality play major roles
in  leading us into disintegrative or  integrative  sexual
activity, and reflexive responses to sexual activity.

     Condemnatory   judgmentalism   is  a   disintegrative
response  to human sexual activity---as is any  unbalanced
fixation upon human sexuality and sexual activities.

     Human sexual desires,  visions and activities are not
the means to human salvation or damnation;  they are gifts
from   God  to  be  enjoyed  with  personal  and  communal
integrity in God's presence.
