They act as if life is our should be regarded as if it were SIMPLE --- and then tacitly use COMPLEX patterns of assumptions, attitudes, thoughts, fears, concerns, etc. --- to concentrate power in "The Domination System". Dishonesty is at the very core of their domineering ways which lead to personal and communal disintegration --- in concealed ways. 2. "The Domination System" shifts people's attention away from creative: people, insights, perceptions, and spectrums of helpful possibilities --- towards dichotomous patterns of assumptions, attitudes, thoughts, fears, concerns, etc. Shifting attention helps to concentrate power, controls, and disciplines into the hands of domineering people --- accentuating others' vulnerability. 3. Domineering people shift attention away from the recognition of tragic lacks --- toward contentious conflicts which are dominated by domineering people. It is inherently difficult to recognize what essential foundations for personal and communal integrity are missing; and domineering people accentuate that difficulty --- by seducing people into playing their collusive games of mutual self deception regarding inclusive spectrums of healthy and integrative priorities. 4. Supporters of "The Domination System" make it appear that much respect, honor, and support should be granted to leaders who are firmly "in control" --- so as to maintain "law and order" in the face of many evil forces and servants of "The Devil". They make preoccupations with issues of control to appear "good" --- and make undisciplined/uncontrolled lovers to appear "evil" --- because the lovers do not conform properly to "good" laws, commandments, disciplines, and controllers. 5. Domineering people condition others to be preoccupied with appearances which can be manipulated --- so as to control people's perceptions, attitudes, thoughts, decisions and actions in unseen ways. Domineering people shift attention away from many essential foundations for healthy personal relationships, dialogue, conflict-resolution, and cooperation --- so that they themselves can more successfully be more dominant.
