     The  roots  of  both  healthy  and  unhealthy   human
relationships   can  be  found  within  the  unreconciled:
visions,  assumptions, beliefs,  convictions,   attitudes,
fears  and  languages of the  people  who   interact  most
significantly   with   each  other.      So  long   as  we
remain   unaware  of,    uninformed,   misinformed,    and
unwilling  to share such roots ---  we are handicapped  in
dealing  with  all that is unsatisfactory  in  our   human
inter-relationships.                                      
                                                          
     The  following texts may suggest and point to some of
the diverse roots of our tendencies to be:                
                                                          
     cooperative, contentious;                            
                                                          
       integrative, disintegrative;                       
                                                          
         healthy, dis-eased;                              
                                                          
           gentle, violent;                               
                                                          
             well, ill;                                   
                                                          
               interdependent, pathetic;                  
                                                          
                 at-peace, at-war ---                     
                                                          
                   with each other:                       
                                                          
     You must  conform yourself to cooperate with me/us in
fulfilling  my/our  vision  of   a   wonderful  pattern of
relationships  in   which  I/we  will  be   the   dominant
leader/leaders and you will be subservient to me/us.      
                                                          
     You  must  lift  from  me/us  the  heavy  burdens of:
responsibility, authority, authenticity, learning, making-
decisions,  being-held-accountable,  understanding,  hard-
work,  etc.  ---  for I/we are not: good-enough,   strong-
enough, wise-enough, confident-enough,  or properly chosen
to carry such burdens.                                    
                                                          
     God   has  called/appointed  me/us  to   be   His/Her
massager(s)   and/or:   teacher(s),  priest(s),  ruler(s),
dominator(s),  lord(s),   king(s)/queen(s)  with unlimited
powers, knowledge and certainty.                          
                                                          
     All true knowledge,  wisdom, authority,  commandments
and  means  to  salvation  are to be found in  the  sacred
ancient scriptures which I/we  control  and interpret with
un-qualified/un-challengeable assurance.                  
                                                          
     Our modern perceptions, experiences, and observations
are  totally  unreliable  in  comparison  to  the  ancient
scriptures which God gave to ancient people and which have
been   authoritatively  interpreted by the  succession  of
God's  appointed  interpreters  of God's words which  were
given long ago.                                           
                                                          
     I/we have the authority to determine and declare  who
is  good  and who is evil,  and to hand  out  rewards  and
punishments.                                              
                                                          
     Diseases  are  punishments ordained  by  God  because
people  have failed to obey and conform themselves to  the
requirements    of   God's   laws,    prescriptions    and
proscriptions.                                            
                                                          
     Diseases   are  occasioned  by  unresolved  conflicts
between/among the demands,  expectations,  ideas,  ideals,
goals,   hopes  and  aspirations  of  people  who  do  not
understand  each other at all well ---  and fail to  truly
try to understand and cooperate with each other as well as
they might.                                               
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
