     Is  it  possible to  transcend  disintegrative  fear,
anxiety,  guilt,   shame,   embarrassment,   estrangement,
alienation, animosity, enmity, enemies, etc?  If so, how?

     First  we  must  distinguish  between  disintegrative
realities  and  comparable  integrative  realities---where
both kinds of each reality do  exist.    Not  all kinds of
disintegrative  realities have a corresponding integrative
kind  of reality.   Not all kinds of integrative realities
have a corresponding disintegrative reality.  Does each of
the following kinds of realities exist?


INTEGRATIVE FEAR           DIS-INTEGRATIVE FEAR

INTEGRATIVE ANXIETY        DIS-INTEGRATIVE ANXIETY

INTEGRATIVE GUILT          DIS-INTEGRATIVE GUILT

INTEGRATIVE SHAME          DIS-INTEGRATIVE SHAME

INTEGRATIVE EMBARRASSMENT  DIS-INTEGRATIVE EMBARRASSMENT

INTEGRATIVE ESTRANGEMENT   DIS-INTEGRATIVE ESTRANGEMENT

INTEGRATIVE ALIENATION     DIS-INTEGRATIVE ALIENATION

INTEGRATIVE ANIMOSITY      DIS-INTEGRATIVE ANIMOSITY

INTEGRATIVE ENMITY         DIS-INTEGRATIVE ENMITY

INTEGRATIVE ENEMIES        DIS-INTEGRATIVE ENEMIES

INTEGRATIVE LOVE           DIS-INTEGRATIVE LOVE

INTEGRATIVE HOPE           DIS-INTEGRATIVE HOPE

INTEGRATIVE SEXUALITY      DIS-INTEGRATIVE SEXUALITY

INTEGRATIVE INTIMACY       DIS-INTEGRATIVE INTIMACY

INTEGRATIVE HONESTY        DIS-INTEGRATIVE HONESTY

INTEGRATIVE FRIENDSHIP     DIS-INTEGRATIVE FRIENDSHIP

INTEGRATIVE OBEDIENCE      DIS-INTEGRATIVE OBEDIENCE

INTEGRATIVE ACCEPTANCE     DIS-INTEGRATIVE ACCEPTANCE

INTEGRATIVE REJECTION      DIS-INTEGRATIVE REJECTION

INTEGRATIVE ARROGANCE      DIS-INTEGRATIVE ARROGANCE

INTEGRATIVE EXCLUSIVITY    DIS-INTEGRATIVE EXCLUSIVITY



     We  may be misled by believing that some of the above
kinds of realities exist,  when they do not exist---except
in our imaginations, dreams, fantasies and fears.

     We  need  to  be clear about the absence  of  certain
kinds  of  contrasting  realities when we  think  that  an
oxymoronic  reality  does exist.   Some of the word  pairs
above are oxymoronic.  The two words cannot be combined in
meaningful ways.    The meanings of some words within word
pairs  above are mutually exclusive of each other---as  in
the following  word  pairs:  "dry  water",  "insubstantial
lead",     "nutritive   arsenic",    "organized    chaos",
"predictable chaos", etc.

     We and our communities disintegrate when we act as if
oxymoronic pairs of words point to true realities which we
should accept as meriting our respect and honor.
