%ALIENATION UNDERSTAND DISINTEGRATION 970703
The dynamics of alienation are a key to understanding
disintegration of persons and communities; i.e., how
alienation leads to alienative-behaviors is key to
understanding personal and communal disintegration.
If we focus upon rules, laws, regulations,
prescriptions, proscriptions, commandments, etc. in the
absence of understanding how alienation leads to
alienative-behaviors --- we are out of focus and
unbalanced in our understanding.
If we focus upon judicial procedures, judgements,
condemnations and punishments --- no matter how well
perfected --- in the absence of understanding how
alienation leads to alienative-behaviors --- we are out
of focus and unbalanced in our understanding.
If we focus upon why we are better, superior and
rightfully proud of our accomplishments --- we are engaged
in alienative-behaviors because of our alienation from God
and God's Children.
If we focus upon verses of holy scripture to prove
how right and/or righteous we are compared to others ---
we are engaged in alienative-behaviors because of our
alienation from God and God's Children.
If we split our being into different personalities
designed to function optimally in different circumstances
and/or environments --- and alienate our different
personalities from each other in isolation and/or
conflict; --- we engage in alienative-behaviors because
of our alienation from God and God's Children.
If we do not see the alienative consequences of our
attempts to be (or appear to be) more righteous than
others are --- we are engaged in alienative behaviors
because of our alienation from God and God's Children.
If we are preoccupied with conformity to rules, laws,
regulations, prescriptions, proscriptions, commandments,
etc. --- and with issues of control --- we are engaged in
alienative-behaviors because of our alienation from God
and God's Children.
If we condemn, reject, banish, and/or excommunicate
anybody --- we engage in alienative-behaviors because of
our alienation from God and God's Children.
#1. ALIENATION leads to more ALIENATIVE-
ACTS.
#2. ALIENATIVE-ACTS lead to more ALIENATION.
#3. GOTO #1 AGAIN.
If we do not understand personal and communal
disintegration in the light of the dynamics of alienation,
we are unlikely to get out of tragic alienative traps.
