     People do not truly need or want to be  controlled by
rules, laws or regulations;  be they external or internal.
Suggestions and  guidance from others are most  helpful if
they are  clearly based upon personal experiences reported
openly and  honestly.   The more  removed  suggestions and
guidance  are from reported experience,  the  less  likely
they are to be experienced as being helpful---and the more
likely  they are to be experienced  as  unhelpful/resented
attempts   to   achieve  control  via  rules,    laws   or
regulations.

     We need  to beware of people who are preoccupied with
rules,    laws,   regulations,   legalities,   judgements,
generalizations,    and   abstractions---which    engender
blockages of persons'   being present and true to self and
others as whole beings with unique forms of integrity.

     When people value that which is detached  from and/or
abstracted from unique realities---they are not  likely to
value unique relationships  between unique people,  and/or
unique people themselves.

     People who  are fixated upon or  strongly preoccupied
with   that   which   pertains   to   scholarly/scientific
categories/abstractions      or      moralistic/legalities
injunctions---tend   not   to   respect    either   unique
experiences/persons nor  their  open  and honest dialogues
regarding their experiences/reflections upon them.

     The unique  is  often sacrificed for  the  purpose of
celebrating   the   general   abstractions   of  scholars,
scientists,  moralists,   legalists  and  others---who are
fixated  upon  or  strongly  preoccupied  with  issues  of
control.

     Unique open  and honest dialogue is not  important to
many people ---and so  is sacrificial upon the  alters  of
whatever  idols they worship.   They do not even recognize
what  they have sacrificed,  its importance,  or that they
have made a sacrifice---because according to  the rules of
their collusive  games of mutual self deception they  must
not, and can not, recognize such reflexive realities.
