Such guidance by its nature is reflexive; not objective---and will call upon those guided by it to engage in non-objective behaviors. The only way that a paradigm can provide guidance to its followers to lead them to transcend the paradigm---is to guide them to be in open and honest dialogue with people who are not followers of the paradigm; and/or who are profound critics of the paradigm. Any paradigm which guides its followers to attend only to the internal provisions of the paradigm and to the provincial beliefs of the followers of the paradigm---in keeping with the assumptions of the paradigm, will trap those people who follow the guidance of the paradigm inside collusive prisons and double binds designed in keeping with provisions of the paradigm.
