In the {Communal Voids} of our {Isolated Knowledge} of our {Isolated Common Experiences} we live in {Communal Fear} which we cannot acknowledge --- because of our {Collusive Games of Mutual Self Deception}. Our {Communal Traps} prevent open and honest dialogue about our {Common Experiences}, {Communal Voids}, {Communal Silence}, {Knowledge in/of Isolation}. In our {Communal Voids} we are trapped in {Isolated Cosmic Eggs} within which in isolation we appear to be whole, complete, without flaw, without crack, and lacking nothing. Our {Communal Appearances} are false exercises in our {Collusive Games of Mutual Self Deception} wherein we teach each other to appear to be other than we almost know ourselves to be. In our {Communal Voids} we do not really know ourselves to be what we might truly know ourselves to be together --- for truly knowing each other together in open and honest joint ventures is taboo. We do not know how common our {Isolated Common Experiences} are --- because we have agreed within our {Collusive Games of Mutual Self Deception} that such experiences are not fit topics for open and honest communal dialogue. To hint at the existence of {Isolated Common Experiences} would be to further isolate ourselves than we already are in our {Communal Voids}. Within our {Communal Voids} there is no {Open and Honest Dialogue} about what matters to us most; i.e., the absence of {Open and Honest Dialogue} --- for it is taboo to acknowledge that absence. The absence of {Open and Honest Dialogue} is one of those un-speakable {Common Experiences of Isolation} about which we do not and cannot talk. Within our {Communal Denials} we deny communal truths and deceptions which are too painful for us to know and acknowledge. Our {Communal Denials} are {Unknown Cooperative Ventures} through which we protect ourselves and each other from knowledge of what we most fear; truths about ourselves, or about our {Isolated Common Experiences} and about our extreme personal isolation. If we suspect that two or three are gathered together in {Open and Honest Dialogue} which transcends our {Communal Voids} --- we fear greatly that they might crack our brittle cosmic eggs of isolation. People who engender such fear in us are evil people who must be further isolated, neutralized, excommunicated, and so rendered impotent. They must not be permitted to have influence in the most important meetings of our {Communal Voids}. In our {Communal Voids} there are no true meetings, for true meetings would undermine the integrity of our community. Our nonexistent {Collusive Games of Mutual Self Deception} are our front lines of defense against threats to our communal integrity. Their integrity must be defended regardless of what it costs to maintain their integrity. They are so important that all means of defense are justified in their defense. Come what may they must be defended. Loyalty in this cause is all important. Nothing must stand in our way. We have stored up a lot of that in our {Cosmic Voids} and can be secure in our knowledge of that. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
