     Simple  minded people prefer simple ways of  ordering
and controlling  life---over  trying  to deal with complex
relationships  which   are  full  of  multiple   reflexive
responses  back  and forth,  paradoxes,   ambiguity,   and
uncertainty.   They  want to reduce complexity  to  a  few
simple fundamentals about which they can be sure without a
doubt.

     Simple   minded   people  seek  to  fix   complicated
situations  by  reducing  them to  their  presumed  simple
fundamentals---with simple prescriptions about what should
always  be done by-the-book.   Temptations have to do with
saying  "YES"  or "NO"  to clear cut alternatives  between
dichotomous  opposites.    Simple minded  people  are  not
inclined to talk honestly about the reality of  continuous
spectrums of alternatives or about the many  possibilities
which  need  to  be  prioritized in order to affirm a  few
of  the best among many good alternatives.

     Dealing honestly with the realities of being true  to
self  and  others  can be too complicated  to  the  simple
minded---and  so they often engage in collusive  games  of
mutual  self  deception  by which they  pretend  that  the
complexity  is  not  real.     Life is simple  and  should
be  responded   to  according  to  a  few   simple   rules
and prohibitions.     Freedom  to make choices appropriate
to  uniquely  different people's potentials,    needs  and
desires  makes  life  too  complicated,    ambiguous   and
uncertain.  Simple  minded  people sometimes are so afraid
of    making  mistakes  ---   that  they  want  to   avoid
liberation,    healing  and  empowerment    which    would
confront    them   with   the responsibility to make their
own  choices---rather  than  to respond  as  computers  do
according  to  clear cut  formulas,   prescriptions    and
commands   given  to  them   by   some mysterious   higher
being  which  created the  computers  and which  creatures
the computers cannot understand.
