Such processes cannot be imposed upon persons and communities from the outside in coercive ways which entail violence. Coercion and violence engender disintegration; not integration. Personal and communal integrations are encouraged by gentle Love, rather than by coercion and violence. Personal and communal integrations are not conformal processes. The growth of living plants and animals is a process which is directed from within the living plants and animals. The process of growth is not directed or imposed from the outside by dominant agents who are in charge of the processes in the manner of builders of buildings, machines and computer programs --- things which have no internal will, being, or soul.
