    We cannot disengage (emotionally, psychologically, or 
spiritually)    from  domineering  supporters   of   "The 
Domination System" --- so long as they  still APPEAR to us
to have a form  of  integrity which is honest,  honorable,
holistic, and/or worthy of our support.  So long as we are
not clear about  their PRETENTIOUS  efforts ---  we cannot
disengage from them.  The essential clarity may come to us
intuitively, communally,   through  honest  dialogue  with
close-friends,   and/or   through   careful   intellectual
analysis   which  promotes  both  personal  and   communal
integrities.                                              
                                                          
     An essential aspect of "The Domination System" is to 
promote and maintain emotional, psychological and/or      
spiritual dependence on the part of those people who are  
poor, weak, confused and vulnerable --- so that they can  
be maintained as dependent/engaged supporters.            
                                                          
     In "The Domination System" the following are taboo:  
                                                          
     1.  Liberation                                       
     2.  Healing                                          
     3.  Honesty                                          
     4.  Education                                        
     5.  Clarification                                    
     6.  Revelations                                      
     7.  Holy-Spirit                                      
     8.  Cooperation                                      
     9.  Peace-making                                     
    10.  Conflict-resolution                              
                                                          
     The above are taboo because they will undermine the  
dependence/engagement of poor, weak, confused and         
vulnerable people --- in their relationships with the     
domineering supporters of "The Domination System".        
                                                          
     Among  the  realms of great confusion,   power,   and
dependency  are the realms of human sexual  relationships;
for  there  are obviously great risks entailed  in  sexual
relationships.    Domineering  people   take  advantage of
ignorance  about  such  risks  as  means  for  maintaining
control  over  people  who  are not  clear  about  how  to
transcend,   understand,  and respond prudently/wisely  to
those unknown risks in informed ways.                     
                                                          
     Domineering people promote sexual ignorance as a     
means of maintaining the dependence/engagement of many    
people in their programs of control.   The risks can only 
be managed properly in terms of authoritative statements  
and/or commands coming down from upstanding domineering   
supporters of "The Domination System".  It is unreasonable
to ask that the management procedures make sense in any   
common sense terms which are understood by the common     
people.                                                   
                                                          
     Sexual relationships are too mysterious and dangerous
for common people to be able to handle them safely.  It is
only the high priests who have limited experience with    
sexual relationships --- who are sufficiently detached    
from them to know how to handle them prudently and wisely 
--- in terms of eternal/absolute truths which endure      
forever within their pure hands.                          
                                                          
     It is only as we learn how to disengage (emotionally,
psychologically, spiritually, and intellectually) from    
domineering supporters of "The Domination System" --- that
we can grow into healthy intimate/sexual relationships.   
Such disengagement is often a major challenge in people's 
lives.  People need secure sanctuaries within which to go 
through such disengagements.   Such secure sanctuaries are
found in a wide variety of places, contexts, and          
circumstances.  Such secure sanctuaries are not found in  
only one special kind of place, context, or circumstance. 
                                                          
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
