     In many people's ways of viewing parts of the cosmos;
there are parts of the cosmos which are so INHERENTLY-EVIL
and/or so ESSENTIALLY-EVIL that THOSE-PARTS of the cosmos:
                                                          
     1.  Should be ELIMINATED and/or DESTROYED.           
                                                          
     2.  Should be TOTALLY-EXCLUDED from respectable      
         and/or honorable "company".                      
                                                          
     3.  Are IRRECONCILABLE with anything that is GOOD.   
                                                          
     4.  Are TOTALLY-UNWORTHY of ANY-CONSIDERATION.       
                                                          
     5.  Are properly SACRIFICABLE in order to get ANY    
         OTHER  GOOD-THING which we may wish to get, own  
         and have for our own exclusive enjoyment.        
                                                          
     6.  Are INHERENTLY-OTHER than anything good.         
                                                          
     7.  Justify  UNLIMITED-VIOLENCE  and/or   ALIENATION-
         FROM-US --- as we defend our minds, bodies, souls
         and/or relationships from  the ultimately fearful
         threats  which  they pose to us  and  all that is
         possibly good.                                   
                                                          
     The  above  ways of viewing parts of the  cosmos  are
themselves  ultimate  threats  to  the  integrity  of  the
cosmos;   and so are ultimate threats to our personal  and
communal integrities of all kinds.                        
                                                          
     The above ways of viewing parts of the cosmos  cannot
be  part  of any effective efforts which really  leads  to
true reconciliation, integration and/or healing.          
                                                          
     If we ultimately accept,  honor and/or support any of
the above ways of  viewing any parts of the cosmos ---  we
cannot truly be part of any effective efforts which really
lead to true reconciliation, integration and/or healing.  
                                                          
     The pervasive ancient and modern  myths of redemptive
violence and  redemptive-coercion  are not worthy  of  our
respect,  honor or support.    Thus ANY attempt to totally
eliminate   and/or  destroy those myths through the use of
violence --- will  be   tragically  counter-productive and
disintegrative; i.e., idolatrous.                         
                                                          
     Beware of arrogant and self-righteous efforts to make
some  truths  appear as if they  were  so  INHERENTLY-EVIL
and/or  so  ESSENTIALLY-EVIL that THOSE-TRUTHS  should  be
banished from the cosmos ---  because we find THOSE-TRUTHS
to  be:  embarrassing,   fearful,  and/or threats  to  our
incoherent minds, bodies, souls and/or relationships.     
                                                          
     We will be freed of embarrassment,  fear and  threats
only  as we learn to accept and embody THOSE-TRUTHS  which
we  now fear because  we believe that they cannot be truly
integrated   into   our  minds,     bodies  souls   and/or
relationships.                                            
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
