     So  long as we are preoccupied with rebelling against
the efforts  of  domineering  people   ---  so long we are
letting our selves be dominated by them.                  
                                                          
     Only  when we learn new perspectives,  attitudes  and
let go of our tendencies to copy domineering behaviors ---
can we transcend our tendencies to be dominated by our own
rebellious efforts to dominant other people.              
                                                          
     We   cannot   escape  from  domination  by   becoming
domineering.   We cannot reduce violence by using violence
to  try  to dominate violent people.    We cannot   coerce
people to  stop being coercive.   Rebellions tends  to  be
coercive,  violent and domineering.   What can we do to be
healthy and whole?                                        
                                                          
     To   transcend  and  subvert  rebellions,   coercion,
violence and  domination  ---  we  need  in  some  way  to
understand how futile rebellions,  coercion,  violence and
domineering-ways  are.    They do not deliver the expected
and/or promised net-benefits.   Pouring gasoline on a fire
will  not  put  out  a fire.    Larger and more  cans   of
gasoline poured on the fire will not help put it out!     
                                                          
     To  gain some insights into helpful new perspectives,
attitudes and ways of letting go our of our tendencies  to
copy domineering behaviors --- study Walter Wink's concise
book "The Powers that Be".   It points to some new ways of
transcending coercion, violence and domination --- used in
liberating over half the people on  earth  during the late
1980's.  Those liberations were NOT well reported  in  the
news media that  thinks that   the  peaceful resolution of
conflicts is not news-worthy.                             
                                                          
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
