Is a woman who is married to an addictive husband who
is guilty of abusing and battering her and/or his children
--- to be encouraged to tolerate, honor, obey and be a
codependent supporter of her husband --- out of loyalty to
her marriage vows?
Is the woman who is the Executive Secretary working
for an addictive President, CEO or Chairman of the Board
of Directors of a corporation --- to be encouraged to
tolerate, honor, obey and be a codependent supporter of
her employer --- out of loyalty to her corporation and to
her fellow workers?
Is the wife of, secretary to, or follower of a
religious leader who is addictive in his "leadership
style" --- to be encouraged to tolerate, honor, obey and
be a codependent supporter of the religious leader --- out
of loyalty to their religious vows, or loyalty to the
religious institution locally and/or as a whole?
Are the supporters and employees of a political
leader who is addictive in his or her "leadership style"
--- to be encouraged to tolerate, honor, obey and be a
codependent supporter of the political leader --- out of
loyalty to leader or political party locally or as a
whole?
Is a member of a recognized profession which is
addictive in its overall approach to its work and/or
clients --- to be encouraged to tolerate, honor, obey and
be a codependent supporter of the dominant paradigm ---
out of loyalty to its disintegrative leaders, ideals,
values and principles?
According to what integrative ideals, values and/or
principles are people to be encouraged to transcend the
dysfunctional patterns of behavior which are suggested
above?
What are some of the many essential foundations for
integrative cooperation which should be regarded as
transcending all: spouses, Presidents, CEOs, Chairmen
of Boards, religious leaders, religions, political
leaders, political parties, professional leaders and
professions? (Here "essential" does not connote "most
important". Here "essential" connotes that in the
absence of that which is an essential foundation ---
there is a great probability that personal and communal
disintegration will occur due to the absence of
that essential foundation.)
We need to recognize that addictive leaders who play
central roles in guiding collusive games of mutual self
deception, consciously or unconsciously, are bound by
virtue of their leadership to defend without qualification
their addictions and collusions; and to ask/require that
their followers do likewise. Depending upon the realm of
their leadership --- they will appeal to various kinds of
powers, principalities, authorities, scriptures, spirits,
institutions, rules, commandments, regulations, laws,
traditions, etc. --- as the grounds for demanding that
their followers: perceive, discern, think, decide and
behave much as they themselves do. Non-conformity is
taboo --- to be punished by condemnation and
excommunication, if not by execution of some overt,
covert, or symbolic form.
