     Our sense of personal identity depends upon many     
     different considerations, including:                 
                                                          
     1.  Who we believe ourselves to be in some cosmic,   
         historic, heavenly, or other transendent sense.  
                                                          
     2.  Who others believe us to be in some cosmic,      
         historic, heavenly, or other transendent sense.  
                                                          
     3.  Who we are told that we are in some cosmic,      
         historic, heavenly, or other transendent sense.  
                                                          
     4.  How fully others affirm us with integrity in the 
         light of who we believe ourselves to be.         
                                                          
     5.  How well we are integrated into our community    
         with its sense of identity and integrity.        
                                                          
     6.  The extent to which we challenge our community   
         through our verbal and behavioral affirmations.  
                                                          
     7.  The integrity with which we and those nearest    
         and dearest to us are functioning within common  
         mythologies, cosmologies, assumptions, beliefs,  
         attitudes, paradigms, etc.                       
                                                          
     8.  The extent to which we are in conflict with "The 
         Domination System"; overtly, tacitly,            
         consciously and/or unconsciously.                
                                                          
     9.  How well we can conceptualize our relationships  
         with others who are different from us, and       
         function within those relationships in coherent  
         ways.                                            
                                                          
     10. How honestly we can relate to those who are      
         different from us and who find it hard to accept 
         us as being worthy of honor, respect and         
         support.                                         
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
