     Why  do  we humans have so much  difficulty  creating
sanctuary communities within which we are (and feel)  free
to be open and honest about our most meaningful,  intimate
and sexual relationships and experiences?   Is it because:

     1.  God forbids our doing so?
     2.  "The Domination System" forbids our doing so?
     3.  Religious leaders undermine our doing so?
     4.  Political leaders mislead us away from doing so?
     5.  Family considerations stand in the way?
     6.  Scholars mislead us away from common senses?
     7.  Scientists focus our attention upon objects?
     8.  Business leaders focus us upon our greed?
     9.  Multinational corporations focus attention away?
    10.  It is naturally dangerous to do so?
    11.  It is too complicated to do so well?
    12.  Exclusive concerns stand in the way of balance?
    13.  Doing so would embarrass our whole culture?
    14.  Doing so would undermine our "good" orders?
    15.  Our provincial meanings would be threatened?
    16.  We fear extending such experiences very far?
    17.  We fear unknown relationships and possibilities?

      Question:    Is it impossible, forbidden or taboo to
imagine  or  envision  the  healthy  creation  of  healthy
sanctuary communities  ---   within which different people
could  be safely  vulnerable  (truly secure)   while being
open and honest about their own most meaningful,  intimate
and sexual relationships/experiences?   What stands in the
way?  Why?

     Questions:    Is  it safe to say clearly what  stands
in our way?   Why not?

     Questions:    How  can we cooperate to make it  safer
to  clearly  articulate/describe what stands in  our  way?
Why not do so?

     Questions:    Which  of  our  principalities,  powers
and/or angels most stand in our ways; and block  openness,
honesty and true lovers?   Why?

     Questions:    What is  God's  role in  all  of  this?
Where  is  God  to  be found in  relation  to  what  these
questions point to?    If God is NOT to be found  ANYWHERE
in relation to what these questions point to; then of what
relevance is God to us and our relationships?
