     Truly  integrative instincts  have  played  essential
roles  in  the evolution   of   integrative   humans   and
communities.   Considering for  how  long true integrative
instincts guided evolutionary behavior, we will do well to
respect them excepting only in occasions where it is clear
that   changing  environments  and  needs  have   rendered
previous instincts dysfunctional.

     Let  us  focus  primarily  upon   truly   integrative
instincts; i.e., those which entail honesty and tendencies
to  build/maintain personal and communal integrity.    The
following are suggestive of what they may include:

     1.  Hunger for nourishing healthy food.
     2.  Thirst for pure clean water.
     3.  Finding/making protective cloths/shelters.
     4.  Seeking supportive warmth and affection.
     5.  Finding/making order out of chaos.
     6.  Finding/making security in fellowships.
     7.  Learning from each other through dialogue.
     8.  Honestly describing our personal experiences.
     9.  Learning from our own/others' mistakes.
    10.  Seeking opportunities for vigorous exercise.
    11.  Seeking opportunities for rest/relaxation.
    12.  Seeking opportunities for affection/intimacy.
    13.  Seeking sexual relationships/stimulations.
    14.  Seeking sexual fulfillment and bonding.
    15.  Nurturing/caring-for/parenting children.
    16.  Letting go of situations we cannot control.

     When  we  are  dealing with  such  truly  integrative
instincts each of the following is dysfunctional:

     1.  Pretending that they do not exist.
     2.  Pretending that they are other than they are.
     3.  Masking, hiding, repressing or suppression them.
     4.  Rationalizing/intellectualizing them dishonestly.
     5.  Blaming them for our disintegrative behaviors.
     6.  Refusing to recognize, name or describe them.
     7.  Refusing to talk about or deal with them.
     8.  Confusing them through collusive dishonest games.
     9.  Fearing them and running away from them.
    10.  Banishing them from communal contexts.
