     After we have been led to be suspicious,  fearful and
defensive  ---  by repeated hurtful experiences  with  one
kind  of  people;   e.g.,   domineering  people,   it   is
exceedingly  unlikely that any other people of  like  kind
will  be  able  to help liberate us from  our  suspicions,
fears  and defenses ---  in the absence of  some  dramatic
indications that they (or others) are profoundly different
in some important ways; e.g., in regards to:

     Self sacrifice,
      Generosity,
       Grace,
        Hospitality,
         Kindness,
          Reverence,
           Civility, etc.

     To  be able to serve as a liberator  from  suspicion,
fear,  and dysfunctional defenses --- a would-be-liberator
must   demonstrate   a  dramatic  transcendence   of   the
dysfunctional  PATTERN  of  behaviors  which  led  to  our
suspicions,  fears and dysfunctional defenses.   They must
dramatically  convince us in our own terms ---  that  they
are  profoundly different from the people who led us to be
suspicious, fearful and defensive --- and so are worthy of
reverence,  honor and trust.   If they unilaterally demand
that  we  trust them on their own terms ---  they  do  not
qualify to be our liberators!   Many religious leaders who
are seeking converts to their pattern of religious beliefs
and behaviors --- need to understand the above basic facts
of life.

     A would be liberator who demonstrates any significant
portion  of  the  pattern of suspicious,   fearful  and/or
defensive  behaviors  (which  led us to be  like  them  in
alienation, estrangement and excommunications) --- thereby
disqualifies themselves from being able to be our: savior,
liberator, redeemer, healer, servant, etc.

     Any  would-be-liberator who uses key religious  words
in  a pattern similar to that used by those  who  enslaved
us ---  cannot qualify  to  be  our  liberators  from  our
enslavement --- no matter how hard they try, or what price
they pay.

                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
