 %OPEN HONEST EXPLICIT THEORY EVIL ALIENATION CAUSE+950920
                 %DISINTEGRATIVE ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOR 950920

     In  the  ABSENCE of an open and honest  theory  which
explicitly  articulates the nature of  evil  relationships
and their roots---people  are likely to  live  in terms of
tacit and dishonest theories which  implicitly regard evil
in terms of perverted powers which must be negated through
the use of  coercive/violent  controls  that engender more
alienative relationships.

     Evil relationships  exist in the  ABSENCE of positive
relationships   which   are  motivated   and   guided   by
integrative beings who are focused upon:  love,   honesty,
joy,   gentleness,    generosity,  faith,   hope,   trust,
acceptance,  tolerance,  forgiveness,  wisdom,  knowledge,
humility, etc.

     Evil relationships  are  rooted  in LACKS;  i.e.  in:
absences,  deficits,  neglects,   deficiencies, neediness,
dearths,  poverty, shortages, insufficiencies, scarcities,
darkness,  dimness, obscurity, disregards,  uncertainties,
ignorance, etc.

     Evil  relationships  are suffered by people  who  are
LACKING in experiences of: love, honesty, joy, gentleness,
generosity,  faith,  hope,  trust,  acceptance, tolerance,
forgiveness,   wisdom,  knowledge,  humility,   integrity,
health, etc.

     The  LACKS  of evil are overcome/transcended  through
the PRESENCE of people who are: loving,  honesty,  joyful,
gentle, generous, faithful, hopeful,  trusting, accepting,
tolerant,   forgiving,  forgiving,  wise,   knowledgeable,
humble, integrative, healthy etc.

     The  LACKS  of  evil  cannot be  compensated  for  by
behaviors which are motivated and guided by people who are
LACKING in:  love, honesty, joy,  gentleness,  generosity,
faithfulness,   hope,   trust,   acceptance,    tolerance,
forgiveness,   wisdom,  knowledge,  humility,   integrity,
health, etc.

     People  who  are LACKING in:  love,   honesty,   joy,
gentleness,   generosity,   faithfulness,   hope,   trust,
acceptance,   tolerance, forgiveness,  wisdom,  knowledge,
humility,   integrity and health---often try to fight evil
as  if  evil  entailed demonic PRESENCES which had  to  be
opposed/destroyed at great costs which entail the use  of:
objectifications, coercions, excommunication, separations,
techniques, violence, alienation, etc.

     People  who  are in want  of  love,   honesty,   joy,
gentleness,   generosity,   faithfulness,   hope,   trust,
acceptance,   tolerance, forgiveness,  wisdom,  knowledge,
humility,  integrity and health---usually try to fight and
destroy evil in ways which are lacking in love,   honesty,
joy, gentleness,  generosity,  faithfulness,  hope, trust,
acceptance,   tolerance, forgiveness,  wisdom,  knowledge,
humility,  integrity and health.   It is futile to  expect
them  to do otherwise so long as they are in want  of  all
that they lack.

     The  LACKS which characterized evil relationships can
be  eliminated  only  by increases in the following due to
the  PRESENCE  of:   love,   honesty,   joy,   gentleness,
generosity,   faithfulness,   hope,   trust,   acceptance,
tolerance,   forgiveness,  wisdom,  knowledge,   humility,
integrity and health.

     It  is in the PRESENCE of GOD and HOLY  SPIRIT  which
evil relationships are often transcended by people who are
familiar with: love, honesty, joy, gentleness, generosity,
faithfulness,    hope,   trust,   acceptance,   tolerance,
forgiveness,  wisdom,  knowledge, humility,  integrity and
health.

     Evil  relationships  are  rarely  not  overcome   by:
authority, authorities, laws, judgements, police, prisons,
isolation,    deprivations,   punishments,    separations,
excommunications, condemnations, rejections, etc.

     It is when evil relationships are recognized as being
rooted  in  LACKS---that it becomes possible to deal  with
evil relationships through  the graceful PRESENCE  of what
has been LACKING.

     When evil is regarded as due to some demonic presence
in  particular  people,  groups,   organizations,   words,
images,  things,  statements,  rituals,  doctrines, texts,
places---misguided ignorant people  are  prone to  try  to
destroy  whatever they think is tainted by such a  demonic
presence.    They  pride  themselves  in  their  skill  in
recognizing,  isolating and destroying whatever is tainted
by  a  demonic presence---because  they are themselves  so
LACKING in love,  honesty,  joy,  gentleness,  generosity,
faithfulness,    hope,   trust,   acceptance,   tolerance,
forgiveness,  wisdom,  knowledge, humility,  integrity and
health.  The essence of such tragic behaviors is LACK.

     People who are LACKING in love,  honesty, gentleness,
joy,  generosity,  faithfulness, hope, trust,  acceptance,
tolerance,   forgiveness,  wisdom,  knowledge,   humility,
integrity and health---are FEARFUL; full of, driven by and
guided  by:   fears,  anxieties,  apprehensions,   doubts,
pretentions,    dishonesty,    deception,     repressions,
suppressions,  addictions,  fixes,  conflicts,   violence,
coercions - - - AND VICE-VERSA.  Such people engender more
such  people and all the empty negativities of which  they
are full.   It is a paradoxical situation which cannot  be
understood  rationally,   logically,   objectively or even
scientifically---because it is a reflexive situation which
is affecting/afflicting all who  seek  to  analyze  it and
control it in such ways.

     People   who  seek  their  fulfillment/salvation   in
identifying,   judging  and  condemning people  whom  they
conceive  to  be evil---are LACKING   in  love,   honesty,
gentleness,  joy,  generosity,  faithfulness, hope, trust,
acceptance, tolerance,   forgiveness,  wisdom,  knowledge,
humility, integrity and health---and are FEARFUL; full of,
driven by and guided by: fears,  anxieties, apprehensions,
doubts, pretentions,  dishonesty,  deception, repressions,
suppressions,  addictions,  fixes,  conflicts,   violence,
coercions.

     A different paradigm is needed.   In the ABSENCE of a
transcendent paradigm and people who transcend  the tragic
situations  described above---there is little wisdom.   It
is not the  destruction/elimination  of  demonic realities
which  is  required;   it is the integrative  presence  of
people   full  of:   love,   honesty,   gentleness,   joy,
generosity,   faithfulness,   hope,   trust,   acceptance,
tolerance,  forgiveness,  wisdom,   knowledge,   humility,
integrity and health---which is needed.

     We need to accept,  invite, welcome,  honor,  support
and  assist such integrative people---for us to be free of
evil  relationships  and free of our fears of evil  as  we
perceive  evil  to be present---even though it  is  mostly
LACKS.

                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
