Abstract articulations of ideals, affirmations of the importance of scriptures, recitations of profound doctrines, the performance of highly regarded rituals, the defense of sophisticated purity codes, living in conformity to sophisticated purity codes---all of these can and do occur within the context of communities where there is no attempt to transcend disintegrative: blockages, repressions, suppression and efforts to control diverse/healthy: desires, honesty, openness, conflict resolution, affection and other essential aspects of integrative persons and their communities. In the absence of attempts to transcend disintegrative blockages, repressions, suppressions and efforts to control diverse/healthy: desires, honesty, openness, conflict resolution, affection and other essential aspects of integrative persons and their communities all efforts to: achieve salvation, make people be "good", overcome "evil", promote creativity and/or achieve success---are futile. Really integrative persons and communities are balanced in their work---not narrowly specialized to the exclusion of what is essential to balance. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
