     Authentic  people  do   not  behave  as  they  do ---
exclusively in   terms  of  other  people's  expectations,
demands, requirements,  etc.   Authentic people are unique
in their own  ways.     They  are aware of and  respond to
prudent guidelines in  wise  ways;  ---   yet they are not
slaves   to   them   ---     nor  are  they   compulsively
rebellious  against rules.   Other  people's expectations,
rules,  demands and requirements  are  not   determinative
for  them  ---   in either subservience or in rebellion.  
                                                          
     Authentic people are not who they are in response  to
the  coercive efforts of domineering  people.    Authentic
people recognize,  name,  describe, understand,  transcend
and subvert domineering people's  efforts to control those
aspects  of human lives which cannot be controlled;  e.g.,
attitudes,    emotions,     dreams,   yearnings,    hopes,
aspirations,    desires,   thoughts,   and   sub-conscious
communications.    Authentic  people  are   not controlled
by external criteria and considerations.    They are  true
to   themselves  and to each other in  authentic dialogue.
Authentic  people  are  the  fruits of  open  and   honest
intimate relationships which  transcend  human isolations,
alienations, and excommunications.                        
                                                          
     Authentic  people are role models of how  people  can
promote   and  facilitate  both  personal   and   communal
integrity.    They  do  not  demand  conformity  as   they
demonstrate   integrity  in  who  they  are  within   well
integrated unique relationships.   Who they are is defined
by how they are  themselves  within well integrated unique
relationships;    not  by  whom  they exclude  from  their
relationships,    considerations,    and  communities   of
dialogue.   Authentic people are not who they are  through
either  conformity  or rebellion against  expectations  of
conformity on the part of domineering people.    Authentic
people   transcend   the  expectations  and   demands   of
domineering people.
