     We  will come together to understand,  cooperate  and
undermine "The Domination System"  ---  only to the extent
that we engage in the following kinds of behaviors ---  in
ways  which  are coherent,   are integrative,   and elicit
honor, respect and support from healthy people:           
                                                          
     1.  Coherently  and  clearly  describe  and  contrast
domineering vs peacemaking patterns of behavior.          
                                                          
     2.  Demonstrate  peacemaking patterns of behavior  in
our  own  lives  ---   avoiding  domineering  patterns  of
behavior   ---   when   we  are  tested  and   tried    by
domineering people who cannot tolerate peacemaking patters
of  behavior  which expose addictions,   collusions,   and
codependent      supporters as being dishonest through and
through.                                                  
                                                          
     3.  Confront   domineering   patterns   of   behavior
indirectly ---  exposing their patterns' lack of integrity
by articulating integrative  principles,   suggestions and
foundations for healthy living.                           
                                                          
     4.  Humbly  turn  away from the  arrogant  attitudes,
assumptions, sins,    and   self-righteousness  which  are
characteristic of domineering people and their supporters.
                                                          
     5.  Work  cooperatively with other integrative people
to  demonstrate healthy inter-personal relationships which
merit all healthy peoples' respect, honor and support.    
                                                          
     6.  Recognize,   describe,  talk about and beware  of
domineering   people  who  ---   for  their  own  personal
advancement and  advantage ---   often dominate vulnerable
people  who are:  poor,  sick, weak,   thirsty,  homeless,
jobless, naked, confused, children, women, alienated,  and
in doubt.                                                 
                                                          
     7.  Shift favorable  attention    away   from  people
who   are preoccupied  with  issues  pertaining to control
---     to  people    who   are   involved   in    healthy
inter-personal  relationships  characterized  by:   mutual
understanding, balance,   cooperation,  humility,   honest
dialogue,  and love.                                      
                                                          
     8.  Think  of  righteousness as pertaining  to  being
rightly involved in healthy relationships --- rather than 
as  conforming  to  right:  rules,   regulations,    laws,
prescriptions, proscriptions, taboos and expectations.    
                                                          
     9.  Be aware of, recognize, name, describe and gently
talk honestly about people who appoint themselves as God's
agents ---  working to judge,  condemn,  correct, improve,
punish,   and excommunicate people who stray from the  one
correct way.                                              
                                                          
     10. Acknowledge God as Love working to undermine "The
Domination System"  which confuses, sickens, separates and
alienates people through efforts to achieve control --- in
situations where controls are neither kind nor helpful.   
                                                          
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
