     When  people have fully internalized the hidden rules
of  a  collusive  game of  mutual  self  deception---their
ultimate  concern  and duty is to  maintain  the  apparent
integrity of the game,  no matter what the cost of seeking
to  do  so may turn out to be.   Such  extreme  dedication
cannot be  maintained openly and honestly---so in  keeping
with  the deceptive nature of a collusive blame  of mutual
self   deception,   the  dedication  is  maintained   sub-
consciously;    below  the  level  of  conscious  critical
thought.    There thus must be an ultimate conflict to the
death  between conscious critical thought,  and  the  sub-
conscious   process   of  sustaining  the  commitment   to
maintaining the apparent integrity of the dishonest game.

     The  committed colluder must be willing to  sacrifice
ALL  to the service of maintaining the apparent  integrity
of the collusive game of mutual self deception---including
being willing to pass judgement upon self and condemn self
to  cosmic  ex-communication from the  fellowship  of  the
saved  who  remain  forever faithful participants  in  the
cosmic game of collusive self deception.

     Participants   in  collusive  games  of  mutual  self
deception  regard  themselves  as gods with the  power  to
define what is true and what is false---in the interest of
maintaining the apparent integrity of their collusive game
of mutual self deception.  In the crazy "reality" of their
dishonest game,  participants in collusive games of mutual
self   deception   also  regard  themselves   as   totally
expendable---should  thy  slip and do,  think,   or  feel;
something  which  might  bring  down  the  whole   fragile
structure   of  their  collusive  game  of   mutual   self
deception.

     A  collusive game of mutual self deception is a  tall
tale  which  is a fragile structure;   like a  sky-scraper
made of playing cards set on edge.  Each playing card is a
carefully positioned lie,  which must not look like a lie.
Each  player  must maintain the proper appearance of  many
such  carefully  conceived and positioned lies.    If  any
player  fails  to maintain proper appearances,  the  whole
structure will collapse,  and all the advantages gained by
the  playing  of  the dishonest game will  be  lost---with
great  guilt  and  mutual self-condemnation  all  the  way
around.  It is each player's sacred duty to keep the whole
dishonest structure standing, and looking wonderfully like
it is worthy of ultimate respect, support and sacrifice---
and worth the endless tension,  contention,  conflict  and
violence which is engendered in keeping it so up-standing.
It is inconceivable that anyone would dare to stop playing
the  game!    No  one  will dare to  talk  about  such  an
inconceivable possibility!  Only insane people would think
of doing such an insane thing!   Only fools listen to such
insane  people!    Such  fools and insane  people  do  not
survive.  It is best not to think about them.

     If we think too much about fools and insane people we
may  be confused by our own personal experiences and  lose
sight  of  our sacred duty to make our collusive games  of
mutual  self deception appear to be worthy of respect  and
support.   It is better to follow the guidance of reliable
authorities who are sure of themselves---than to trust our
own  confused  personal  experiences which  are  not  well
informed by scholarly research and analysis.  Non-reliable
talk  about  merely  personal  experiences  can  be   very
distractive   and   can  undermine  commitments   to   the
maintenance   of  our  collusive  games  of  mutual   self
deception.     People  who presume  to engage in open  and
honest   dialogue   about   their  own   merely   personal
experiences  are  not reliable;  they are  not  worthy  of
respect or support.  It is best to shun them.

     If we  do not work diligently to  maintain strict law
and order, our community will fall apart.  It is essential
that  we  centralize power and authority in the  hands  of
those  authorities who are sure that they know  what  they
are doing and what is good for us.
