     We cannot frequently enjoy both personal and communal                                                                
integrity  so long as we uncritically accept practices of:         
self-judgement,   self-praise,    self-punishment,   self-

righteousness and self-alienation.       
                                                                                                                               
     We  cannot  with  integrity engage in these  peculiar                                                                   
reflexive behaviors. We often disintegrate as we engage in     
these peculiar behaviors. in the  absence of informed open                                                       
and  honest  dialogue.   In  open  and  honest   dialogue,                                                                  
integrative  people  describe  the risks which  they  have                                                                   
perceived   to  be  inherent  in  the  peculiar  reflexive     
behaviors.                                                       
                                                                                                                               
     The behaviors are peculiar and risky because:                          
                                                                                                                               
     1.  They run great risks of perverse bias.                                                                                
                                                                                                                               
     2.  The  behaviors  can  be driven by  the  collusive                                                   
games of mutual self-deception within a community. 
                                                                                                                               
     3.  They   can  be  coercively  manipulated  from   a                                                                     
distance   by  families,   relatives,   religious  groups,                                                              
political groups, etc.                                                                                                         
                                                                                                                               
     4.  The  behaviors  are prone to be  associated  with                                                       
alienation, estrangement and excommunications.                                        
                                                                                                                               
     5.  The  behaviors  are  rarely  engaged  in   within                             
healthy contexts which help  participants to transcend the                
perversions and risks which are inherent in the behaviors.                                                       
                                                                                                                               
     6.  Participants in the peculiar behaviors are  often                           
dysfunctional  people  who  pass  on  their  dysfunctional                                                                    
attitudes,  assumptions, approaches,  beliefs and patterns             
of  perception of various kinds of relationships.    Their        
peculiar  behaviors  are  symptomatic  of  dis-ease.   The                                                       
participants  rarely  enjoy security as the freedom to  be                           
safely  vulnerable  in  intimate relationships  which  are                     
open, honest and healthy.
