 %TRANSCEND DISHONEST HERESY PARADOX DICHOTOMY EVIL+961122
 %ESCAPE COLLUSIVE GAME SELF DECEPTION HUMAN LIMITS 961122

     It  is difficult to transcend heresies  because  they
entail  collusive games of mutual self deception according
to  which  the apparently conflicting truths of a  paradox
cannot  both be reliable affirmations.     Heresies  claim
that  a  choice must be made between  paradoxical  truths.
Heresies   dishonestly  claim  that  paradoxes   must   be
eliminated    by   forced   choices   between   apparently
contradictory  truths.    Heresies  demand  that  life  be
simpler   than it is,  and so do violence to the  richness
of real living and real people.

     Extremists often engage in heretical thinking as part
of a process of promoting conflicts which facilitate their
having paradoxical control over their confused  followers.
They  only appear to have control;  but in  a  paradoxical
sense  they  exert  control  through  their  promotion  of
conflicts over paradoxical truths.
