     With fear and trembling we yearn for liberation  from
the prisons built by our:  dishonesty,  arrogance,   self-
righteousness,   pretentiousness,   collusive mutual-self-
deceptions,  coercion and violence.   We are trembling  in
fear because liberation from our "faithful servants" would
deprive us of their "practical"  advantages!  How could we
survive without our "faithful servants?"                  
                                                          
     True healing and reconciliation can come only when we
grant each other the freedom to be safely vulnerable  with
us, and with each other.    True REVERENCE is essential to
such   intimacy.     Complementary   essentials   include:
                                                          
      mutuality, balance, respect, grace, patience,       
       kindness, honesty, integrity, generosity,          
        appreciation, thankfulness, relaxation, rest,     
         cooperation and authenticity.                    
                                                          
     Faithfully    demonstrating   such    virtues    will
facilitate   both  personal    and   communal   forms   of
integration and integrities.                              
                                                          
     In contrast; NON-essentials include personal:        
                                                          
      certainty, perfection, purity, superiority,         
       control, invulnerability, dominance,               
        exclusivity;  submission,  obedience and loyalty. 
                                                          
     To demand/command respect or support for any of   the
the    above   NON-essentials   ---     is    likely    to
undermine/subvert  the  possibility  of  us  enjoying  the
above    essentials  within  truly   loving   communities.
Doing so will eave us with only our fake versions of those
realities   which     are    the   true   essentials    of
meaningful   and significant lives together in Love.      
                                                          
     In  the light of  the above,  thoughtful people  have
said that God is Love.  Others maintain that domination is
God,   and that the only question is who will be dominant.
The  latter  people  maintain conflicts  as  the  dominant
realities in their lives.
