%DISINTEGRATIVE RULES LAWS PEOPLE ASSUMPTIONS FIXES+960403
%JUDGE CONDEMN PUNISH EXCOMMUNICATE REJECT EVIL SIN 960403

     Many rules, laws, people, assumptions, fixes, judges,
condemners, and other foci of arrogance are disintegrative
because   they  lead  to  alienation.    We  are   usually
confronted  by  dilemmas when we are  confronted  by  such
disintegrative  realities.    What  are we to do  when  so
confronted?

     If we  become fixated upon,   preoccupied with,  such
disintegrative realities---we join  ourselves to  them and
become  yet another disintegrative reality ourselves.   It
does  not help for us to say to ourselves and others  that
we are trying to eliminate disintegrative realities---just
as we are becoming yet another disintegrative reality. Our
dishonesty does not help anybody.

     We do need to recognize disintegrative realities,name
them, honestly describe them, and then let go of them.  We
are fools if  we continually hang them around our necks as
badges  of our superiority---as signs that  we are  better
than  they are because we can point to them with pride and
arrogance.

     We need  to seek honesty and integrity.    We need to
recognize,    name,   honestly  describe,   and  associate
ourselves with integrative realities such  as integrative:
people,    ideals,   values,   roles,   visions,    hopes,
aspirations,    principles,   assumptions,   beliefs   and
convictions.  We need to honestly accentuate the positive;
because if we do not we disintegrate.     Accentuating the
negative leads  to disintegration.   Honestly accentuating
the positive leads to personal and communal integrity.
