          %VISION FANTASY DREAM HOPEFUL FULFILLMENT 960520

     Our visions, fantasies and dreams may be fulfilled by
our  sharing them with intimate others  in the  hope  that
they will likewise share  with us.   If together  we  find
that  they  are likely to  promote  personal  and communal
integrity---then the way is cleared for fulfillment.

     For our visions, fantasies and dreams to be fulfilled
we  need to clear out of the way all that may stand in the
way of their and our fulfillment; for example:

     1.  Fear, anxiety, apprehension, uncertainty---
     2.  Collusion, addiction, codependency, dishonesty---
     3.  Prejudice, tradition, slavery, taboos---
     4.  Dogma, divine rights of royalty, arrogance---
     5.  Legalism, judgementalism, excommunication---
     6.  Banishment, condemnation, alienation---
     7.  Ignorance, confusion, misinformation---

     We need to learn how to resolve conflicts rather than
how to overcome our opponents in conflicts.

     We need to learn how to listen and cooperate,  rather
than how to talk and manage.

     We  need  to  learn how to  sympathize  with  others,
rather than how to control others.

     We  need to learn how to build authentic  communities
of  intimacy  through being true  to  ourselves  and  each
other; rather than to make our communities invulnerable to
each   other  through  "Security  Councils",    "Community
Defenses" and "Strategic Defense Initiatives."
