Far too often we FEAR openness-and-honesty and being-comfortable-with-openness-and-honesty, RATHER THAN fear respect-for-rejections and fears-of-rejections. In the above regards we need to reverse what we fear and what we respect---as a central part of repentance; i.e., turning around. WHY do we so often FEAR openness-and-honesty and being-comfortable-with-openness-and-honesty, RATHER THAN fear respect-for-rejections and fears-of-rejections? WHY does our traditional pattern of fears seem so reasonable? It seems reasonable within the framework of our collusions which demand that we systematically use dishonesty to hide previous dishonesty, by making previous behaviors seem respectable. Our ultimate concern and command is to offer to conceal our previous mistakes, errors, tragedies and occasions of dishonesty. Since we must hide all our previous mistakes, errors, tragedies and occasions of dishonesty---it seems reasonable that we should fear openness-and-honesty and being-comfortable-with-openness-and-honesty, more than we should fear respect-for-rejections and fears-of-rejection. Since we must hide all our previous mistakes, errors, tragedies and occasions of dishonesty---it seems reasonable that we SHOULD NOT be concerned with either personal or communal integrity---which are undermined by dishonesty, rejections, alienations, estrangements, excommunications and disfellowshippings. How else can we maintain a sense of coherence in our confused thought processes in the light of the ultimate concern which has been graciously given unto us by our dysfunctional parents and guardians? Do we dare to question what has been graciously given unto us by our dysfunctional parents, guardians and alienative religious leaders? (c) 2005 by Paul A.
