If we are confused about the nature of our denials, confusions and dishonesty---we cannot deal effectively with them. If we mask our denials, confusions and dishonest---we cannot deal effectively with them. If we are not open and honest about the logic of our denials, confusions and dishonest---we cannot deal effectively with them. Our denials, confusions and dishonesty appear logical, non-existent, worthy of respect and coherent to us because: 1. They are defensive tools in our efforts to achieve security for our selves within hostile environments. 2. We are full of fears and know no other ways to deal with our fears. 3. We do not share and enjoy free and liberating gifts of the freedom to be safely vulnerable within truly secure communal contexts. 4. We feel we must avoid/deny mistakes to be invulnerable and so secure. 5. We seek the comfort of others who agree with us about our assumptions, prejudices, perceptions, beliefs, convictions, dogmas, and doctrines. 6. We seek power to be in control of all that we perceive to be the cause of our fears. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
