     Revelations  of  truths  about  realities  and  their
relationships  with each other come more often  to  people
who are  receptive towards such revelations, and  who  are
willing to consider them---than to people who believe that
all   truths  must  be  or  should  be  generated  through
systematic work,  research,  authoritative  consultations,
conventions, conferences, official publications, etc.

     Some  people  resent that others who  have  not  been
certified  as competent---receive,  accept,  consider  and
communicate truths  about  realities  and relationships---
without  being  participants  within officially sanctioned
organizations which  have been created to be generators of
new  knowledge;   e.g.,  research institutes and  academic
institutions of higher learning.

     Some  people who are in control of ancient truths and
insights resent that others  who  are "outsiders" receive,
accept,    consider  and  communicate  new  truths   which
transcend the ancient  truths  which  are safely under the
control of certified authorities.

     We may each be a conduit for new truths which come to
us   within  the  contexts  of  societies,    communities,
organizations  and families which may not be receptive  to
new truths.  To be an effective conduit we need to be open
to new truths, willing to consider the new truths for what
they are, willing to test them against our own experiences
and   the   experiences  of  others,    and   prudent   in
communicating   new  truths  to people  who  may  be  made
exceedingly defensive by the threats which the new  truths
pose to their dishonest and collusive ways.

     If  we  are  unwilling  to take  any  risks---we  are
unlikely to receive, accept and consider any new truths.

     If we are  eager to take great risks for the sake  of
excitement; then we  are  likely  to  receive,  accept and
imprudently communicate new "truths" which are misleading,
distorted, or  excessively  threatening to people who have
not  been offered  and/or  who have not accepted  adequate
gifts of security---the freedom to be safely vulnerable.

     It  is not simple to be conduits of new  revelations,
truths,  insights and perceptions within communities which
are playing collusive games of mutual self deception.  The
life of the true prophet is not a bed of roses!

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