Terrorists are motivated and guided by fear which grows in the absence of mutual/balanced understanding and/or honest dialogue between them and their perceived enemies. Terrorists believe in the myth of redemptive coercion and redemptive violence; i.e., they believe that violence and coercion can be used in redemptive ways by good people who have clear visions of what they are called to accomplish unilaterally; i.e., accomplished in the absence of cooperation with their perceived enemies. Terrorists promote both personal dis-integration and communal dis-integration --- in the hope of promoting both personal and communal integration for themselves in the long-term; at the expense of the people whom they perceive as their enemies. Terrorists of all kinds are playing collusive games of mutual self deception --- whether they are informal gangs of "illegal-terrorists" or they are formal government-sponsored "legal-terrorists". Terrorists refuse to acknowledge, articulate, talk about or deal with the following truths; pretending that the following truths do not merit any consideration or respect: 1. Terrorism in the long term undermines the integrity of all people and communities who are affected by terrorists' activities and/or who tolerate terrorists' activities. 2. Disintegration in any part of the whole human community has negative effects upon all parts of the whole human community. 3. The risks of terrorism are far greater than the risks of dealing openly and honestly with the ignorance, misunderstandings, prejudices and fears which motivate and guide terrorism of all kinds. To transcend the disintegrations of terrorism we need to encourage the formation of small cell-groups of people who covenant among themselves to: 1. Promote and facilitate the integration of all different kinds of peoples and communities --- by working to eliminate the ignorance, misunderstandings, prejudice and fears which motivate and guide terrorism of all kinds. 2. Promote and facilitate the helpful sharing of all kinds of knowledge, understanding, integrity and wealth among all kinds of people --- to promote the personal and communal integrity of all different kinds of people. 3. Promote and facilitate the understanding that the myths of redemptive coercion and violence entail playing collusive games of mutual self deception --- in support of "The Powers That Be" --- in support of "The Domination System". In order to fulfill their chosen missions of gracious reconciliation and healing --- people who covenant to form such small cell-groups will work sacrificially to make it clear to all who can see --- how-they-differ-from-terrorists in what they themselves: 1. Say-and-do to MITIGATE: ignorance, misunder- standing, prejudice, fears, anxiety, dis-trust, dis-ease, self-righteousness, arrogance, pretentiousness, etc. 2. Believe, assume and value --- in ways which are coherent with their stated sense of mission and the above. 3. Say-and-do to help all different people to truly transcend the myths of redemptive coercion/violence --- and the ignorance, misunderstandings, prejudices and fears which both motivate and guide terrorists.
