The more "successful" a religious institution or
tradition is --- the more likely its leaders are to
fall victims of the temptations to engineer
additional successes through technological manipulations:
1. The more apparent the "success" is --- the more
tempting it is to focus attention upon "appearances"
rather than upon the integrity of inter-personal
relationships and of the persons who are involved in
integrative communal lives.
2. The more apparent is the "nature" of "successful"
people the more tempting it is to focus upon conforming
to their "nature" as the proper means to additional
"success".
3. The more "successful" are the respected collusive
games of mutual self deception --- the more tempting it is
to repress forms of creativity which might expose the
dishonesty which are inherent in the essential
collusive games of mutual self deception.
4. The greater is the institutional power --- the
more tempting it is to ignore the essential nature
of integrative individuals and integrative small groups.
