     Integrative people explore the possibilities of being
themselves with integrity in new ways---and describe their
discoveries to others who have not been in the new  states
of  being and doing.   They explore new  possibilities  of
being  whole and healthy within new and renewing  communal
contexts---and  describe their adventures to  help  others
follow their leads.

     Participants  in  collusions and addictive  fixations
are often fearful  of  the  possible  consequences  of the
thoughts,    behaviors  and  expressions  of   integrative
explorers---and so they fearfully object to and/or seek to
prevent  such  thoughts,   behaviors  and/or  expressions.
Collusive and addictive people fear that their patterns of
dishonesty will be exposed by integrative revolutions.

     Spiritual  explorations are not stuck in the past and
the texts of the past.  Spiritual explorers build upon the
experiences  and  reports of past explorers---but they  do
not limit themselves to  perpetually  re-visiting only the
experiences  and  reports of past  explorers.    Spiritual
explorers write new texts telling of new revelations which
have come to them,  enveloped them,  and led them into new
experiences which transcend those of past explorers.  They
do  not regard such transcendence as being an  affront  to
the  courageous  contributions  made  by  past   spiritual
explorers---for  they respect those  contributions without
worshipping them in idolatrous ways.

     Spiritual  explorers  are dedicated to being true  to
themselves  and each other within integrative  communities
which nurture personal integrity.   They work to transcend
and  resolve  conflicts---rather  than  to  celebrate  the
tenacity  and sacrifices  of  ancestors  who  courageously
initiated  and/or perpetuated such conflicts.    They seek
to  discern and articulate new ideas,  ideals  and  values
which are integrative---rather than disintegrative.   They
seek  to  live  in  integrative  ways,   rather  than   in
disintegrative ways.   They seek to be the incarnation  of
integrative ways of being and living with integrity within
integrative communities.   They do not celebrate their own
particular  individualism, independence, self-sufficiency,
or invulnerability.

     The   adventures  of  spiritual  explorers  are   not
determined  by objective realities and geographic  places;
even  though  objective realities  and  geographic  places
provide  settings  within which spiritual  explorers  live
with   integrity.     Spiritual  explorers  describe   new
adventures  in  reflexive  relationships  which  transcend
exclusively objective considerations.   To do so they  use
traditional  language in new ways to point to new ways  of
being true to themselves and each other.   Not all  people
can perceive what they point to, and so doubt the accuracy
of their descriptions.
