     People who seek to articulate the ultimate nature  of
being,  the universe,  the cosmos,  creation,  etc.  often
neglect  to  be  open  and honest  about  how  much  their
articulations  are  reflections  of the grounds  of  their
being  the  particular unique people they are:   inherited
genetic  DNA codes in each of the cells  of their  bodies,
and personal experiences within their families,  cultures,
communities, schools, colleges, universities, etc.

     For  each  of us it seems obvious that  the  ultimate
nature   of  being  is  the same as the nature of our  own
unique   being who we are.   We are prone to philosophize,
theologize,   and make abstractions which are  excessively
tied   to   our  own    existential     experiences    and
perceptions.       Our generalizations do not  necessarily
fit  other unique people with their  different   inherited
genetic   DNA codes in each of the cells  of their  bodies
and   different   experiences   within   their   families,
cultures,  communities,  schools, colleges,  universities,
etc.

     To  be  true to ourselves and each other and  thereby
promote  personal  and  communal integrity we need  to  be
honest about the sources of our conceptions of the  nature
of  being---in our inherited genetic  DNA codes in each of
the   cells  of our  bodies,  and our experiences   within
their families,  cultures, communities, schools, colleges,
universities, etc.
