If we cannot recognize, name, describe, or talk about any of the roots of our irreconcilable conflicts --- is there any hope of transcending and/or subverting those factors and people which promote and maintain our irrecon- silable-conflicts? Why are the roots hidden and/or kept hidden? To what end? What are the principalities, powers, angels, and/or people that hide and keep hidden the roots of our irreconcilable-conflicts? The following comments point to and/or suggest some possible factors which serve as the-roots-of and/or the- nourishment-of the-roots-of our irreconcilable-conflicts. CONSIDER the beliefs, convictions and/or the determination of some "good" people --- that they and their other "good" people MUST ALWAYS: 1. THINK in dichotomous terms; i.e., in terms of "either/or" commandments, acceptances, rejections, prescriptions, proscriptions, taboos, judgements, rewards, exclusive-communities, commendations, condemnations, excommunications; good or evil, right or wrong, God or Devil, Heaven or Hell. 2. CONFORM all attitudes, thoughts, assumptions, perceptions, experiences, hopes, dreams, visions, aspirations, fears, anxieties, concerns, emotions, and priorities --- in response to those of "The Dominant Authorities" who have formed "successful" coalitions in support of "The Domination System" of their provincial locations in time, space, thought, perception, etc. 3. SUPPORT collusive games of mutual self deception which are based upon: thoughtless-loyalty, hidden-rules, secrecy, dishonesty, categorical-imperatives, addictions, codependent-servants, coercion, and the violation of many diverse forms of personal and communal integrity. 4. CONTROL their own and other peoples': thoughts, desires, intimacies, pleasures, friendships, tolerances, perceptions, experiences, beliefs, confessions, etc. 5. EXCLUDE from power centers all that MIGHT POSSIBLY THREATEN SUCCESSFUL DOMINANCE BY THE STRONG --- the many people who are: evil, poor, weak, thirsty, sick, honest, women, children, thoughtful, tolerant, perceptive, gracious, kind, forgiving, peacemakers, reconcilers, creative, etc. 6. CONFUSE people and their thought processes so that the above considerations are obscured, repressed, suppressed, minimized, hidden, ridiculed, and/or neglected. ---------- Religious leaders who teach, preach and demonstrate God's Love --- are intolerable threats to good domination. They must be condemned and crucified in one way or another. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
