  %RIGHTEOUSNESS SALVATION REDEMPTIVE RELATIONSHIPS+000229
 %COERCIVE DOMINATION SYSTEM ISOLATED ALIENATED SIN 000229
                                                          
     Righteousness,   salvation and redemption pertain  to
the  integrity  of the webs  of cooperative  RELATIONSHIPS
between/among  all  people(s)  and groups who  participate
therein --- enjoying true security known as the freedom to
be safely vulnerable  in intimate  RELATIONSHIPS which are
mutually   open,    honest,   balanced,   respectful   and
supportive.                                               
                                                          
     Righteousness,     salvation   and   redemption   are
tragically   misunderstood  if  they  are  conceived   and
"fulfilled" in terms of the coercive RELATIONSHIPS between
isolated and/or alienated people(s) --- and their mutually
incoherent and/or conflicted   sets  of   ideals,  values,
principles,   prescriptions,  proscriptions,  taboos,  and
grounds for mutual excommunication and alienation.        
                                                          
     Intrusions by "outsiders" into existing RELATIONSHIPS
where the "outsiders" are not welcome are often tragically
misguided by disintegrative:  ideals,  values, principles,
prescriptions,   proscriptions,  taboos,  and grounds  for
mutual  excommunication  and alienation.    Intrusions  by
"outsiders"  should be approached  with great  caution and
respect for the privacy,  health, safety, desires,  hopes,
aspirations,  and needs of those involved in the  existing
RELATIONSHIPS.    In  the  absence of  clear  evidence of:
domination,   coercion,  violence,  dishonesty, extremism,
harm, addictions, collusions,  conspiracies, codependence,
and  disease  ---  intruders are bound to do greater  harm
than  good no matter how "good"  their intentions may  be.
                                                          
     Tragic intruders are often people who:               
                                                          
     1.  Have not truly been loved and known Love.        
     2.  Are lonely and know not how to share Love.       
     3.  Feel it is good to support "Domination Systems". 
     4.  Are sincerely arrogant and self-righteous.       
     5.  Are threatened by freely shared truths.          
     6.  Are embarrassed by truly intimate relationships. 
     7.  Seek security in being invulnerable.             
     8.  Fear people/relationships which are "different". 
     9.  Focus upon individuals rather than relationships.
     10. Are ultimately concerned with their own "good".  
                                                          
     We cannot attain or  prove  the  validity  of our own
"righteousness",  "salvation" or "redemption"  by coercive
intrusions into RELATIONSHIPS where we are not invited nor
welcome.

                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
